Chapter 1447 Bernice had Crushed the Wine Glass in Her Hand
Michael's eyes showed a flicker of pity. He quickly scooped her up and said, "Let's get you to the hospital."
At the hospital, after the doctor checked her out, he said, "Your hand's pretty messed up. What happened? And judging by your face, it looks like you got hit. Do you want to call the cops?"
Michael's throat tightened, but Megan quickly jumped in, "No, no, it was just me being clumsy."
The doctor had seen it all before, but since Megan didn't want to push it, he let it go. He just added, "Well, the injury's in your medical record. If you change your mind later, you can come to me for a report."
"Thanks," Megan said softly, looking down and staying quiet.
Michael felt uneasy listening in.
He felt like Megan was getting the short end of the stick again. If she wasn't doing this for him, she could totally go after whoever did this.
At the same time, he couldn't help but blame Laura. If that hot coffee had hit Megan's face, it would've been a disaster.
But he couldn't believe Laura would be that cruel.
In the past, Laura's words were harsh, but when he was with her, she seemed more like a tough but kind-hearted person.
He called the bodyguard out of the room. The bodyguard said, "When I went in to save her, I saw Mrs. Jude holding a coffee pot, about to pour it on Miss Ray's face. It was pretty intense. When I kicked the pot away, even with my combat boots on, a layer of the boot's leather got burned off."
Michael glanced down at his shoes. The front of the combat boots did have burn marks.
He couldn't even imagine what would've happened if it had hit Megan's face.
He was furious. "Did you hear what they were saying outside the door?"
The bodyguard frowned. "The room's soundproofing is pretty good. I could barely hear Miss Ray saying something about being honest with you and that you liked Mrs. Jude. I didn't catch the rest before the fight started."
Michael felt a growing sense of disappointment.
He had always known Laura was someone who wouldn't listen to reason, but she didn't need to go after Megan's face.
Laura's actions were just too much.
She kept accusing Megan of being malicious, but what Laura did was way worse.
He couldn't even understand how Laura had turned into this person.
If the bodyguard hadn't stepped in, Laura's actions could've been a crime.
Was Laura acting so recklessly because she had the backing of the Presidential Palace?
After Megan finished getting her IV, she softly said, "Michael, you don't have to stay here with me. There are a lot of people in the hospital. If word gets out and Laura finds out, it'll be even harder for you two to patch things up."
"Megan, I'm sorry." The more gracious Megan was, the guiltier Michael felt. "This is all my fault."
"How can I blame you? It's my own fault for not being more aware. I shouldn't have gone to see Laura," Megan sighed deeply and said bitterly, "The misunderstanding between us is too deep. Michael, I really don't want you to get a divorce. If possible, send me abroad as soon as you can."
Michael looked at Megan's pale face and nodded reluctantly.
After leaving the ward, Michael made a beeline for the attending doctor. "Doc, is her hand gonna scar?"
"Yeah, it'll definitely scar," the doctor replied. "It'll be pretty noticeable for at least a year or two. There's an ointment that can help fade it over time, but it'll take a few years. Just make sure to keep it clean to avoid infection and fever."
Michael nodded. "Use the best meds for her."
Stepping out, he tried calling Laura several times. The calls went through, but she kept rejecting them.
His anger was boiling over.
Laura had tossed her phone aside.
She poured herself a drink and sat alone at the bar, sipping away.
Her mind was racing with Megan's words. She hated Megan and Michael.
Megan was so sneaky, and Michael was still sticking up for her.
Laura thought about her marriage to Michael and felt she had let Nina down, and herself too.
Before she acted today, she didn't care about the consequences. Even if she ended up in jail or ruined her reputation, she wanted to take Megan down.
But that witch got away.
"Drinking this early, what's up?"
A small white purse landed next to her glass, and Bernice slid onto the stool beside her. She was in a sweater, a beret, and big sunglasses. If you didn't look closely, you might not recognize her, but her star quality was undeniable.
"Bernice, what are you doing here? I thought you were filming." Laura had drunk a lot but wasn't drunk. She remembered sending a message to the group chat when she got to the bar.
Cassie hadn't replied, probably busy with her kid. Laura didn't expect Bernice to show up.
"No good roles right now, so I'm just doing some ads, not too busy." Bernice stopped her. "You're a mom now, don't drink so much."
"Yeah, I'm a mom now." Laura's eyes welled up. "But you don't know, this child was conceived through manipulation. Even though Maeve is amazing and I love her, who doesn't want a child born out of true love? My life, ever since I came to Whisperlyn City, has been a mess."
Bernice was quiet for a moment, then said softly, "A lot of things are out of our control."
"Yeah, at least compared to some people, I might be lucky," Laura said painfully. "When I first came to Whisperlyn City, I had a good friend with Cassie. Her name was Nina. She had it the worst. She was wrongfully imprisoned, and her parents died. Today, I found out that Megan killed Nina's mom, Esmeralda. Megan used hypnosis on Esmeralda, making her disoriented, and she hit her head on the bathroom cabinet, bleeding to death. Worse, Megan dumped Esmeralda's ashes down the drain."
"How can someone be so evil and heartless? I really wanted to kill her today, but Michael protected her. I'm no match."
The more Laura talked, the more upset she got. "I'm so useless. I can't even avenge Nina."
As soon as Laura finished speaking, there was a sudden "smash" sound next to her.
Laura then noticed that Bernice had crushed the wine glass in her hand, and the glass shards had cut into her hand, causing blood to flow.
