Chapter 193 Repay His Sacrifice

Five minutes later. Paulo held an emergency meeting with several doctors and nurses. Roman attended the meeting too. Having discussed the plan previously, they quickly confirmed their respective roles and set off to take action.

Twenty minutes later, two nurses entered with Erin’s meal, knowing that Erin was hiding but pretending not to see her.

The nurse with long hair called out, “Miss Lane? Where are you?”

Erin heard her from her hiding spot, but she neither showed herself nor made a sound. She didn’t feel like seeing anyone at the moment.

The nurse with short hair said, “Stop calling for her. Maybe she’s in the restroom. Did you know we have a new patient in the ward today? You must have heard of the famous actor, Roman. Oh my, it’s such a pity! I heard Roman suffered extensive burns on his legs and even on his face by accident. It’s really unlucky for an actor because their face is as important as their acting skills.”

“Yeah, I heard about it too. He’s under the care of Dr. Zenith right now. This morning, they had a heated argument because Roman was informed it would take at least a year to treat his burns. Roman couldn’t accept it, and he got quite emotional-” The nurse with long hair was interrupted as a man in a wheelchair suddenly rushed into the ward. The man in the wheelchair was none other than Roman.

Erin, who had been hiding underneath the blanket, fervently wished for the nurses delivering the meal to leave quickly. Therefore, she listened carefully to the conversation between the two nurses to see when they would be making a move.

When she heard the name “Roman,” she thought she misheard or that it could be someone with the same name. But the nurses not only mentioned Roman’s name once, but they also referred to him as a “famous actor.” It could only be the Roman she knew!

Erin almost impulsively wanted to come out and ask the nurses about it, but she realized her face was now completely exposed with the ghastly and horrifying burn scars clearly visible. Apart from the blanket she put over her head, she had nothing else to conceal her face

from view.

Right then, Roman saw a corner of Erin’s blanket exposed from a distance, and the sight of it tugged at his heartstrings melancholically.
