It was a little cold, you could say.
“What do you want to talk to me about?”
“You’re my attending physician, Doctor. So, I think you know me well.”
“…….”
“I wasn’t in my right mind that day, so I couldn’t control my emotions. My husband came to see me. He said he wanted a divorce. But he’s only offering me 1 million pound in alimony. How am I supposed to live on that? So, I got angry and took it out on you, Doctor.”
Lola almost burst out laughing at Amaya, who was rattling off pathetic excuses instead of apologizing.
Ah, this woman’s character is trash!
She couldn’t believe there were people like this in the world.
“I really didn’t hit you on purpose, Doctor.”
Not on purpose?
Lola felt goosebumps all over her body as she looked at Amaya, who was lying through her teeth without batting an eye, and she felt utterly disgusted.
“So? What do you want me to do?”
Lola felt nauseous, and bitter water rose in her throat, but she asked calmly, as if testing her. In response, Amaya gave an incredibly selfish answer, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“I want you to drop the charges. I’ll give you as much settlement money as you want.”
How could a person say such a thing?
Shouldn’t an apology and remorse come first when you’ve done something wrong?
That’s what she had been taught, but it seemed that not everyone was like that.
For the first time, Lola thought that people were the scariest thing.
So, Lola repeated Dylan’s words to Amaya, word for word, and asked challengingly.
“Amaya, then can you give me a billion dollars?”
“Ms. Amaya, then can you give me a hundred billion?”
“What? A, a hundred billion?”
Amaya’s mouth gaped open as if it would tear.
I thought she was just nice.
In an instant, Amaya thought this woman was very different from what she seemed.
She’s greedy and knows how to take care of herself.
Amaya couldn’t manage her expression well.
“You can’t, can you? Ms. Amaya wouldn’t be able to easily come up with that kind of money.”
To be honest, Lola had no interest in money whatsoever.
She earned enough money that she didn’t lack anything, and Dylan also gave her a generous allowance.
Even so, the reason she mentioned money was because she wanted to clearly make Amaya, who didn’t think much of her assault, realize the seriousness of the situation.
“I have no intention of dropping the charges.”
Because many people were worried and upset because of me.
Unintentionally, she was indebted to Frank, and Dylan couldn’t go to work properly and couldn’t sleep soundly at night because of her.
And her friend and sister-in-law, Gia, was worried about her injury and called almost every day.
“I didn’t know you were such a greedy person, Doctor. It’s a bit unexpected.”
Amaya’s lips twisted crookedly. Lola immediately retorted and sharply questioned her.
“It’s true that Amaya deliberately assaulted me, isn’t it? Who ordered Amaya to do this?”
Amaya’s eyes wavered for a moment. Lola didn’t miss that fleeting change.
“I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about.”
Lola calmly reminded Amaya, who was feigning ignorance and talking nonsense.
“Don’t you remember what you said when you assaulted me that day, Ms. Amaya?”
“What did I say?”
“If you don’t remember, then I can’t help it…”
Lola couldn’t finish her sentence.
Because Amaya clenched her fists tightly and screamed as if she were having a seizure.
“I told you I wasn’t in my right mind back then!”
Amaya’s eyes, bloodshot and red, glaring at her as if she would kill her, looked terrifying.
It felt like she might get hit at any moment.
Lola flinched, her body trembling, but she straightened her back and sat up, trying not to show it, and warned her preemptively.
“Ms. Amaya, if you lay a hand on me again, you can be arrested on the spot as a flagrant offender.”
“Ah, damn it!”
Amaya chewed on the curse with a scowl.
At first, she thought the situation would unfold as she had predicted.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly kind Lola launched an unexpected counterattack and said everything she wanted to say in a calm voice, and Amaya couldn’t control her emotions.
“What I want to say is that if someone ordered Ms. Amaya to do this, there’s no reason for Amaya to take all the blame alone.”
Amaya’s honest desire was to spill everything, but it didn’t seem like the right time yet.
And Nia, the second daughter of Chairman Aliza of Meniza Group, was not a woman to be trifled with.
Her father also ran a large corporation, but it was not a powerful company that could stand shoulder to shoulder with Meniza Group.
While Amaya was hesitating, Lola got up from her seat.
Then,
“Aren’t you curious? Why I did that to you.”
Amaya, feeling impatient, tried to entice Lola by saying something ambiguous as if offering another bait.
“Doctor, how about we make a deal? If you just drop the charges, I’ll tell you anything.”
As Amaya slyly suggested, like a devil whispering, Lola flatly refused.
“I decline Ms. Amaya’s offer. As I said before, I have no intention of dropping the charges. And even if Ms. Amaya doesn’t tell me, I can find out anything.”
As soon as she left the hospital room, Lola was going to go to Dylan and play the recorded conversation for him.
Then Dylan could easily find out who was manipulating Amaya to do this, so she didn’t need to tell her.
Even so, the reason she came all the way here was to secure more solid evidence.
“Damn it!”
Amaya muttered a curse, but Lola didn’t look back and left the hospital room immediately.
