Seeing that Kaneeta remained silent, Atticus didn’t press the
matter. He simply said, “Stay in the hospital for another couple of
days for observation, just to be safe. I’ll arrange for someone to
take care of you,”
As soon as he finished speaking, Woodrow walked in from
outside.
“I’ve already arranged for someone to file charges against
Nyasia.”
After a brief pause, he added, “But you should be prepared–given
the current situation, she might only be detained for a few days.”
After all, Kaneeta’s condition wasn’t very serious.
If the Kuntz family pulled some strings, she might not even be
detained at all.
However… Woodrow had no intention of letting them get their
way.

“It’s all right,” Kaneeta said with a smile.
Of course, she knew that nothing serious would happen to
Nyasia this time.
What she wanted was for this incident to be officially recorded.
That would be enough to prove Nyasia’s deep malice toward her.
This way, in the future, when she revealed the truth about the
car accident, perhaps it would help.
Woodrow looked at her, nodded, and said, “I’ve arranged for a
female caregiver. You should stay in the hospital for observation
for another couple of days–she can take care of you.”
Kaneeta couldn’t help but laugh.

Why did Woodrow say exactly the same thing as Atticus?
Actually, she was fine she could be discharged tomorrow and
take care of herself.

Still, the care and thoughtfulness from these two warmed her
heart.

Atticus smiled mysteriously and said, “Since Mr. Hartwell has
made arrangements, I don’t need to worry anymore.”
Before Kaneeta could say anything, he yawned and said, “Ah, I’m
getting old–I can’t stay up late. Neeta, I’ll go rest at the hotel next
door and come see you again tomorrow.”
“All right, Atticus, take care.”
After Atticus left, only Kaneeta and Woodrow remained in the
hospital room.
Perhaps because they had been through something significant
together, Kaneeta didn’t feel awkward. Still, it was so late and she’d called him over, asking for his help with this and that–she
couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
She owed Woodrow another favor.
She wondered when she would ever be able to repay him.
“Don’t worry about it.”
As if he knew what she was thinking, Woodrow suddenly spoke.
“For me, this is just a small favor. Besides, that night, you helped
me a great deal too.”

As he spoke, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Kaneeta.
“Thank you,” Kaneeta said, taking the water and finishing it in a
few gulps.
She had been thirsty for a while.
Woodrow glanced at his watch. “The caregiver will be here soon.
I’ll wait until she arrives before I leave.”

Under the light, his usually sharp features seemed to soften a
little.
Kaneeta looked at him and suddenly said, “Mr. Hartwell, you
really are a good person.”
Woodrow looked up at her.
Kaneeta realized belatedly that what she said sounded a bit odd,
and quickly explained, “I didn’t mean anything by it. I just think…
you really are very kind. You’ve helped me so much, and even
came over so late to help me patiently, and also…”
And also, he seemed very gentle.
But she wasn’t sure if she should say that, since she always felt it
might just be her imagination after all, Woodrow’s aura was
usually cold and distant.
Woodrow was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
“Actually, I’m not the kind of good person you think I am.”
“Hm?” Kaneeta was taken aback.
