In the end, Karen relented and accompanied Jeffrey to the hospital.

Levi had been assigned to a private room, which was an arrangement undoubtedly made by Jeffrey.

She had picked up fruits and gifts along the way, and as she entered the room, Levi’s eyes lit up at the sight of her. However, the light quickly faded when he spotted Jeffrey, who was impeccably dressed in a suit, following closely behind.

“Levi, how are you feeling now?”

Karen’s voice was as dry as an overcooked turkey, mostly because she was feeling guilty. She barely knew Levi, having only met him for the first time, but he had already taken a beating because of her.

Jeffrey’s fists had been aimed straight for Levi’s face. With bandages of all sizes plastered across his features, poor Levi looked like a mummy straight out of a Halloween party.

“I’m fine,” Levi forced a grin, pain flaring across his face as he did so.

Karen moved to check on Levi’s injuries, but before she could take a step closer, Jeffrey yanked her back.

“Look, I just told Karen here to apologize to you, man. We got into a quarrel and she wanted to make me jealous, so she invited you to have hot pot with her. It was all about getting a rise out of me, not because she was into you.”
