Chapter 982 An Injured Heidi

There was hardly any color on Heidi's face, and she looked extremely frail as her legs struggled to support her weight. In a voice barely above a whisper, she said, "Thank you, all of you. I... I know all of you have my best interests at heart, but I can't just stay here lying in bed. I need to work, and my daughter still needs money for school. Please, please let me go home. I'm fine, aren't I? Nothing a little medicine won't fix. Please let me go home."

Just then, Crystal marched up to the anguished woman, and she looked annoyed as she bit out, "Miss Freeman, don't you know that you're completely abandoning your own health if you were to insist on leaving the hospital? You can always get back to work in a day or two, but if you don't get proper rest and treatment now, you'll have lifelong side effects that will worsen over time! Can't you understand that?" Guilt and gratitude painted Heidi's expression when she saw Crystal, and she said hoarsely, "Miss Harrison, thank you for all that you've done for me, but I really do think that I'm fine. Please just let me go home, Miss Harrison. I will spend the rest of my life remembering how kind and generous you have been to me, but I really must go. If not, my daughter-my daughter will be forced to drop out of school! I have to work so that I can pay for her tuition!"

Heidi had her head down as she tried to plead her case, explaining, "Miss Harrison, Leia was just confused for a moment, is all, and technically, the person who ran me down with a motorbike was not her boyfriend but a friend of his. The young man has apologized to me, as well. Miss Harrison, if I don't go back to work, how am I going to put food on the table for Leia? She'd really be forced to drop out of schoo and come home. Please, please just let me go back. I-I promise I'll take all the medicine as prescribed."

Why don't you go back to the ward and get some rest? We promise we'll help you no matter what." Heidi burst into tears. Gripping Matthew's arm tightly, she begged, "Matthew, let me go back, please. You can't
