It didn't take Quill long to finish settling the matter. By the time he came back, Vera had sat down on the side.

The ward was quiet.

Yulia raised her head and looked at Quill.

"Actually, you didn't have to come deliberately. The hospital has everything. You guys should go back."

Quill walked to her with pursed lips and stared at her wound for a while. He said coldly, "You'd better steer clear of this kind of thing in the future. If you really can't handle it on your own, call the police. There's no need for you to go up close. If your injuries were more serious than this, how am I to explain to your late parents?"

Stunned, Yulia lowered her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think it'd come to this."

On one side, Vera listened quietly and scrolled through her phone aimlessly.

"I rushed forward on impulse when they wouldn't stop fighting, but I really didn't think it'd come to this. If I'd known I'd trouble you guys, I wouldn't have done so."

At that, Yulia touched her forehead and smiled bitterly, helpless, "The doctor said if I don't take good care of my wound, I might end up with a scar."

A scar?

Vera glanced at her forehead. It'd be hard for a girl to accept having a scar on her forehead.

As the thought crossed her mind, Vera's gaze at her became more sympathetic.

Alas, her sympathy suddenly proliferated.

"I knew it. I shouldn't have chastised her like that." Vera thought. If Yulia ever angered her again or said anything high-sounding, she would only reprimand her lightly.

"You guys have something else in hand, don't you?" Yulia said with a smile, looking gentle. "I'll be fine here alone. Go and do whatever you guys need to. No need to stay here with me." Quill looked at Yulia. After a moment of silence, he took out his phone to make a call.

Ernest was a little surprised when he received Quill's call.

"This is rare; you hardly ever call me. What's the matter?"

"Yulia's hurt; she's in the hospital."

Hearing the news, Ernest was stumped for a moment. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and raised his eyebrows. "Okay, so?"
