Chapter 0273

Alex had been injured on the building site. If he pursued this, Burning Star Studio would be liable.

Candice’s expression grew somber. She asked the doctor in a composed manner, “What’s the status of his injury? Is there any bone damage?”

“The bones are intact, but the cut is deep. He may need around five to six stitches,” answered the doctor.

Candice pursed her lips and swiftly contemplated strategies about how to repair the situation.

Alex’s sleeve was rolled up to his elbow, revealing gashes along his forearm. The sight of the deep, blood–stained wounds was jarring. A nurse was diligently attending to his injury.

Alex maintained a stoic demeanor. His thick, dark eyebrows added to his commanding presence.

The nurse was still an intern, and she found Alex’s aura intimidating, which made her hands

A suppressed grunt escaped from Alex, breaking Candice’s train of thought. She turned toward him. Despite her reluctance to recognize it, Alex had just saved her life.

Deciding on her course of action, she approached him cautiously. “Burning Star Studio accepts full responsibility for this accident. We are ready to cover your medical costs.”

Alex slightly lifted his face as he glanced at her and taunted, “Do you think I need your compensation to cover the medical bills?”

Alex’s laugh was mocking, and his look toward Candice carried a frosty edge. In a chilling tone, he retorted. “This time it’s an accident. But what about next? I’m the one suffering this time, but who

will it be next time?”

The tension in the emergency room escalated.

Candice remained quiet for a long period. “There will be no next time.

Alex stayed silent, his expression was clouded, and the pain was bothering him.
