Chapter 90:
Realizing that her tongue had slipped, Annabel cleared her throat and explained, “I took up Taekwondo in school p>
“Taekwondo p>
Rupert chuckled and said nothing more.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital, where a doctor gave Rupert a thorough examination.
Just as Annabel expected, the cut on Rupert’s hand wasn’t serious.
As for his leg, he had suffered severe bruising, but no bones were broken. He would be fine after resting for a few days.
Annabel heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re going to be okay p>
Rupert looked at her and asked, “Why? Do you care about me p>
“What’s wrong with caring about you? After all, you got hurt trying to save me.” Annabel pursed her lips. She was grateful to him, although his help had been unnecessary.
“Apply this ointment three times a day and take these pills, one in the morning and one in the evening,” the doctor said, giving Rupert a detailed prescription.
“Thanks.” Annabel carefully took note.
It was already early morning by the time they came out of the hospital.
As soon as they got in the car, Rupert suddenly said, “Go to Water Moon Community p>
“Huh? Aren’t we going home?” Annabel asked in confusion.
“It’s so late,” Rupert said, smiling faintly.
The truth was that he didn’t want his mother to find out that he was injured, let alone that he had been injured saving Annabel.
On the one hand, he didn’t want Erica to take out her anger on Annabel. On the other hand, whenever Annabel was in the Benton family’s home, she’d hide in the guest room. Rupert never got to spend time with her alone.

And now, he suddenly wanted to be alone with her.
Maybe his grandfather was right; he should try to get to know her.
The streets at night were very quiet.
Outside the car, colorful neon city lights illuminated Annabel’s pretty face through the window, making her look almost magical.
With his eyes half-closed, Rupert leaned back in his seat and watched her. He never took his eyes off the girl as she focused on driving.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by Rupert. “Annabel, Nina was fired. What do you think about that p>
“Huh?” Annabel was a little confused at first. After it sank in, she shrugged and said, “She deserved it. She tried to hurt you. You would’ve been an idiot if you forgave her p>
What Annabel said was totally different from what Rupert wanted to hear. He sat up and looked at her, saying slowly, “I mean, I’m going to promote you. You’ll be the next director of the secretary department p>
Although Annabel had only been in the company for a few weeks, he knew that she could take the responsibility. Rupert wanted to give Annabel a chance.
