Chapter48
The harsh reality made Britney lose all her strength and options, and she walked out of the restaurant exhausted.
Rodrick and Bianca were already gone outside.
Only Federico was still waiting there.
He was super persistent, “Can we go to the hospital now?”
Britney didn’t lie, it really was just a small injury, but the wound still looked pretty scary.
Especially the injury on my knee, whenever I walked and used a bit of force, it would pull and hurt like crazy.
“I’ll walk you home.” Federico only felt relieved after he helped her bandage the wound.
“No, I had something else to do.‘

Britney hadn’t given up yet, she still wanted to try again.
“What exactly made you so anxious?” Federico couldn’t stand it anymore and asked coldly.
After all, it was her own private business, so Britney didn’t think she needed to tell Federico and just wanted to send him away.
Who knew Kellan called her.
Britney was afraid of missing the news, so she picked up right away.
Kellan told her with regret that the experts had already been chosen

and asked her to make other plans.
Britney’s nose felt sore, and heat rushed to her eyes. She pinched her index finger joint with her thumb, like that could help a bit.
But his voice was still shaking, “Didn’t the expert team just get to Riverton this afternoon? They didn’t even come to the hospital, and they already picked someone?”
“It was arranged by Dr. Hale, I wasn’t sure about the details.”
Kellan was just a department doctor, so he really couldn’t help much.
After hanging up, Britney felt like she was sinking into an ice cave, with cold waves closing in on her from all sides.
“What happened?” Federico saw she didn’t look so good and couldn’t help asking.
Britney didn’t know where to start for a moment.
Federico said, “I was pretty familiar with Dr. Hale at this hospital, maybe I could help.”
Federico’s words were like a light and once again gave Britney hope.
That night, Britney wasn’t at the hospital to stay with me. She hired a caregiver instead.
First, she was afraid that Lila would find out she was hurt and get worried.
Second, she had stayed in the hospital for several days, so she should go back and get some rest.
Federico walked her downstairs himself and told her, “I’ll go straight to the hospital to find you at ten tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”
“Don’t stress yourself out too much, things always worked out in the end.”
Federico saw her condition.
Britney just nodded quietly again.
Federico couldn’t help reaching out to rub her head, “Alright, it’s getting late, go back and get some rest.”
Before Britney got out of the car, I reminded her again, “And don’t let the wound get wet, remember to put on the medicine on time, or it’ll leave a scar.”
“Got it, you hurry back. Also, thanks for today!”
Federico finally relaxed his eyebrows, “That’s rare.”
At Britney’s urging, Federico drove away.
With Federico’s comfort, Britney really did feel a lot less pressure.
Even though it was just enough for her to catch a tiny breath.
The–night wind howled, and the cold spread everywhere.
Britney wrapped her coat tighter and got ready to head back, but she stopped instinctively when she saw the man’s cold face under the streetlight.
It was Rodrick who wasn’t supposed to be here.
Britney didn’t know why Rodrick came here.
Of course, she didn’t want to know either.

So after just glancing at him for a second, I pulled myself together and walked straight inside.
