Chapter 133:
Jenessa, used to his harsh words, ignored them this time, focusing solely on his alarming condition.
“You’re coughing up blood. We need to get you to a hospital now p>
Ryan knew he had bitten his tongue during his fight with that man, causing the bleeding. It was minor, but he didn’t disclose this to Jenessa. After all, her evident worry lightened the heaviness in his chest, giving him a perverse sense of satisfaction.
Though his eyes briefly sparkled with delight, he couldn’t help but taunt her.
“You were so eager to leave. Why the sudden concern? Hypocrite p>
Frustrated by his attitude, Jenessa decided it was pointless to engage further and asserted, “The priority is the hospital. Move over; I’m driving p>
With that, she stepped out, walked around to the driver’s side, and pushed Ryan into the passenger seat without waiting for his reaction.
They arrived at the hospital quickly. Jenessa, looking anxious, led Ryan to the doctor and explained, “Doc, he coughed up blood. Please, examine him p>
Ryan sat contentedly, occasionally stealing glances at Jenessa’s concerned face. The doctor, noting her worried look, braced for a serious diagnosis and prepared accordingly. However, after examining Ryan, he reassured them casually, “It’s nothing severe. Just some oral bleeding. A little medication should suffice p>
Stunned by the doctor’s nonchalant verdict, Jenessa could hardly believe it.
“Is that it? He had a fight earlier p>
The doctor gave Ryan another look and confirmed, “Yes, he’s got a few bruises on his face, but they’re all minor. Nothing serious p>

Jenessa was torn between irritation and amusement. After all the chaos, it turned out Ryan was just fine. Her panic earlier had been fueled by the fear that Ryan might have sustained serious internal injuries during that fight. Now, realizing the situation was far less severe, she found herself at a loss for words.
In the heat of the moment, seeing Ryan cough up blood had stripped her of all reason, leaving only her concern for him. She hadn’t paused to consider the severity of the injury.
“Doc, please go ahead and treat him,” Jenessa requested, asking the doctor to apply medication for Ryan’s oral bleeding and address his minor injuries.
Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID to see Richard’s name flashing on the screen.
While Ryan was applying medication, Jenessa quietly exited the room to take the call. She hoped to avoid letting him hear the conversation, fearing it might trigger another unpredictable outburst.
Upon answering the phone, Jenessa’s thoughts immediately returned to the earlier confrontation. It was possible that Richard had sustained injuries too.
“Rick, are you hurt?” she inquired.
“Just some minor scratches on my hands,” he responded, his tone gentle.
At his words, a frown creased Jenessa’s forehead as guilt settled heavily upon her.
“I’m sorry. You wouldn’t have been caught up in Ryan’s anger if it weren’t for me p>
Richard’s voice maintained its warmth.
“It’s okay, don’t worry about me. How are you? Did he cause you any trouble p>
“No trouble at all; don’t worry,” she reassured him softly. To her, Ryan’s taunting had ceased to count as trouble.
On the other end of the line, Richard let out a soft sigh.
