Chapter 1571

[ 608 words ]

Janet was the victim, and since she had been frightened and pushed, she needed to go to the hospital.

The police completely understood.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

After thanking them, Melvin walked into the lobby and saw Janet sitting on a chair, looking lost.

“Let’s go to the hospital,” Melvin said softly, carrying her bag. “Can you walk? If not, I can carry you.”

“No need.”

Janet immediately stood up and walked beside Melvin, an absolute nervous wreck.

This was a formal place; it would be highly inappropriate to be hugging and carrying each other.

They got into the car.

As Melvin fastened her seatbelt, the girl asked, “My mom doesn’t know about this, right?”

“I didn’t tell Saskia,” Melvin replied. “If it’s something we can solve, there’s no need to make her worry.”

Her health wasn’t great; she shouldn’t be stressed.

“Thank you,” Janet muttered softly, then lowered her head, pretending to be a quiet little quail.

“Yeah.”

Melvin stole a glance at her, not daring to say too much either.

He had officially broken the window paper and confessed his feelings today.

But based on Janet’s reaction…

He really couldn’t read her at all, and he was terrified of being rejected.

They finally arrived at the hospital.

Melvin guided Janet through what felt like every department.

After the X-rays, the doctor explained seriously, “It’s a mild sprain. Just apply some ointment to reduce the swelling and make sure to rest in bed.”

“Thank you, Doctor.”

Melvin picked up the medication, returned to Janet’s side, and asked gently, “Ready to go back?”

“Mhm.”

Janet didn’t dare meet his eyes. She continued playing the quiet quail, shrinking her neck all the way until they pulled up downstairs at the Cloudscape Community.

As soon as the car stopped, she pushed the door open to leave.

“Janet.”

Melvin grabbed her hand. His eyes were deep, his voice slightly hoarse. “Janet, let’s talk.”

Startled, Janet struggled slightly and stammered, “T-Talk about what?”

She was pulled back inside the car.

The door closed.

The windows rolled up.

“What I said at the university today~~ was true. Melvin stared at the girl, whose face was completely flushed, his expression dead serious. Janet, like you. t FindNovel.net

Janet took a deep breath, looked up at Melvin in shock, and guiltily averted her gaze again.

“I wasn’t sure if you genuinely just saw me as a friend, so I never dared to say it,” Melvin continued. “I’m telling you this now not to force you fnto making a decision immediately. Take your time to think about it, and you can answer me whenever you’re ready.”

Janet’s ears twitched. Her fingers gripped together so tightly they turned white.

“I used to be a bit unruly, always looking like I was fooling around, but I’ve never

done anything scummy. I’ve never even had a girlfriend before.”

“I don’t know how to express it

perfectly, but my feelings for you are absolutely sincere.” Melvin swallowed hard. He never flinched when risking his life on the racetrack, yet right now, vet right now, he could

barely form a coherents cover

“I’m not even sure when started feeling this way. If I really had to guess, it was probably the first time we met.”

“Janet, I hope you can give me a chance.”

“I-I’m done talking.”

Janet blinked, her cheeks as red as a ripe tomato.

“I’m going to leave now.”

“Huh?”

“Didn’t you say you were giving me time to consider?” Janet mumbled, keeping her head down.

“Right.”

Melvin nodded and grabbed the gift box from the backseat. “Take this with you. There’s one for Juniper, and one for you.”

“Thank you.”

Clutching the gift, Janet practically sprinted away like a refugee, disappearing in seconds.

Sitting in his car, Melvin pinched the bridge of his nose in defeat.

Then he pulled out his phone and texted Shanley: [When you confessed, did you

scare my sister away like this?]
