Still smiling, he noticed Mia Ginger’s swollen face, and the smile froze on his face. In a heavy voice, he asked, "What’s wrong with your face?" "Who hit you?" Dallas Taylor looked at her, and anger suddenly flared up. Mia Ginger remained silent and spoke to Bob Ginger, "I’m fine, you should go back. I’ll just buy some ointment for the swelling later." Bob Ginger looked at her, feeling like there were still a thousand things he wanted to say, unwilling to leave. "Really, it’s nothing, go on, go on." Mia Ginger forced a smile at him. Bob Ginger was being pushed away, one hand hanging at his side involuntarily clenched into a fist, he turned his head to look at her, refusing to leave. Dallas Taylor said to him, reassuringly, "I’ll take her to the hospital." Bob Ginger was stunned, then looked at Mia Ginger again. "What are you worried about, I can handle this," Dallas Taylor added. As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Mia Ginger’s arm and headed toward where he parked his car. He exerted a lot of force, Mia Ginger couldn’t break free at all, her ear really hurt, buzzing, she couldn’t hear any sound, so she let him drag her along. Dallas Taylor placed her in the passenger seat and waved at Bob Ginger. Bob Ginger sighed in relief, eyes red, watching him start the car and drive away. At six in the afternoon, the hospital had already closed for the day. Dallas Taylor didn’t go far, he took Mia Ginger to the nearest hospital from the school. Emergency department. After a while, the Doctor finished examining Mia Ginger. Prescribed a mess of medications. The nurse took the medication and led her inside for inflammation treatment. An older Doctor glanced at Dallas Taylor and scolded angrily, "Such a young girl, how could you raise your hand against her!" "It wasn’t me," Dallas Taylor said with a cold face. The Doctor gave a cold sneer, "Not you? Did the girl slap herself? Her face is swollen, eardrum perforated, even her ear bones are damaged!" "..." Dallas Taylor’s expression changed, he said nothing. "I think there’s a problem with the ear, watch it for a month, if she can’t hear, she might permanently lose hearing in the right ear." Dallas Taylor was stunned, "What do you mean by that?" "Have the nerve to ask me? Didn’t you think about the consequences when hitting someone?!" "I told you it wasn’t me!" The Doctor ended the conversation with a grunt, turned, and walked away. Dallas Taylor stood there, his hands at his sides tightly clenched into fists, after a while, he slammed his fist on the wooden table beside him with a bang. The table quivered slightly. He stood in place, not knowing if he was feeling heartache or anger, or maybe both, unable to speak for a long time. After meeting a group of people, he felt bored. Seeing there was still time, he thought he could go to the school to see how Mia Ginger was doing. Content orıginally comes from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 Unexpectedly, just as he reached the school gate, he encountered such an incident. It was just unbelievable! He couldn’t find words to describe his feelings at this moment. Wait for Mia Ginger to come out, to take her back to school. Just got in the car, he frowned tightly, and asked coldly, "What happened to your face? Who hit you?" Mia Ginger’s complexion wasn’t good, holding a plastic bag, she gave him two words. Dallas Taylor couldn’t suppress his anger, "Could it be that boyfriend of yours?" "It’s not him." Mia Ginger directly refuted. Her expression was so resentful that Dallas Taylor was stunned and couldn’t speak for a moment. He gripped the steering wheel tighter. Mia Ginger glanced up at him, her tone softened, "It really wasn’t him. You’re overthinking it, he’s very good, he wouldn’t hit me." Dallas Taylor said nothing, but became more certain of his guess. What kind of boyfriend did this girl end up with? Worshiping him like a deity? The Doctor immediately assumed it was him, which shows the slap must have been severe. It’s impossible it was her younger brother. Dallas Taylor thought coldly, seeing Mia Ginger’s bad complexion, he simply didn’t ask further, driving directly to the school gate. Mia Ginger pushed the car door open and got out. Dallas Taylor was stunned, quickly followed her out from the driver’s seat, standing tall in front of her, asking, "Have you had dinner? Let me take you to eat first." "No need, I ate very late in the afternoon." Mia Ginger glanced up at him, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you. I won’t delay you any longer, I still need to check in with the counselor." "Your face?" Dallas Taylor started, then feeling it inappropriate, changed his words, "Your ear..." He really couldn’t bring himself to say it. Mia Ginger’s face changed slightly, she muttered, "I heard you talking with the Doctor. I’ll go for check-ups every few days." "Okay." Dallas Taylor understood her temperament, didn’t think she’d be willing to listen just because he said a couple of words, nodding, he said, "Then you go back, it’s cold at night in winter, once you’re back in the dorm try not to come out again." "I’m going." Mia Ginger bid farewell, carrying her bag, holding the medicine in one hand, and turned to walk toward the school. Dallas Taylor watched her back, suddenly called out to her. Mia Ginger paused, turned her head. Dallas Taylor took a step forward, looking serious, "That boyfriend of yours, are you happy with him?" "Yes." Mia Ginger looked up at him, pursed her lips and said, "He’s very good." Dallas Taylor snickered, "Go ahead. Check-in and go back to rest early." Mia Ginger said no more, nodded and walked away. Dallas Taylor didn’t leave, just stood in place watching her disappear. Mia Ginger walked a few steps, reached up to her ear, and swept all the hair on her right side down.
