Chapter 546
Hearing her constant muttering, Scarlett wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t in front of Maxwell.
Seeing that Maxwell was specifically here for Scarlett, Olivia wisely found an excuse to leave after enjoying the sight.
As soon as Olivia left, Scarlett also intended to leave, but Maxwell blocked her way, towering over her as he looked down and said, “Miss Yates, I got hurt because of you. Aren’t you taking responsibility by refusing to change my bandages p>
Was he accusing her of being ungrateful?
Scarlett suddenly raised her head and glared at him, “Young Master, there are plenty of nurses at Saint Mercy. You can ask any of them to change your bandages. Why must it be me p>
Maxwell chuckled, “There may be many nurses at Saint Mercy, but I only know Miss Yates p>
“It’s just changing bandages, what does it matter if you know me or not? I’m just an intern, not nearly as experienced as other nurses. With your esteemed status, I, a mere nurse, wouldn’t dare handle you casually p>
“Oh? But Miss Yates, your technique in treating my wound yesterday was very professional and skilled, no less than other experienced nurses p>
Scarlett glared at this inexplicable man in annoyance.
Why was he so insistent about having her change his bandages?
She had clearly expressed her intention, yet he pretended not to hear.
“Young Master, I’ve already said that I’m off duty p>
Since he was playing deaf, she decided not to spare him any face, pulling a cold expression, “I have no obligation to treat your wound after hours. I have other matters. Please, Young Master, step aside p>
Maxwell suddenly chuckled, “Miss Yates, you are truly heartless p>
“Towards someone who fabricates facts and distorts truths, I have always been heartless p>
“Fabricate facts, distort truths, is Miss Yates referring to me? I don’t recall ever doing such things, could Miss Yates be misunderstanding something p>
Unable to suppress her mocking laughter, Scarlett glared at the outwardly proper yet internally malicious man, “Young Master, if you want to play dumb, there’s nothing I can do about it. You have the position and power, and I’m just a plain and ordinary person. What can I possibly do to you p>
“It seems Miss Yates truly misunderstands me.” Maxwell frowned slightly, sighed lightly, “Actually, the main reason I came to see Miss Yates today is to tell you something very important. Before rejecting me, shouldn’t Miss Yates first hear what I have to say and see if you’re interested p>
“Something very important?” Scarlett’s lips curved into a sarcastic smile, “Didn’t the criminal get caught and confess already? Is there anything about this matter that’s unresolved p>
“It’s not about that matter.” Despite whatever face Scarlett showed him, Maxwell’s gaze remained gentle, his lips smiling at her.
His look and expression towards her resembled how one would look at a pouting child.
A gaze of tolerance, a helpless smile, and an imperceptible tenderness.
“Though I know bringing up this matter to Miss Yates might be cruel, it’s about the truth. I guess Miss Yates wouldn’t want your parents’ deaths to remain unclear, right p>
