“Are you going to the hospital with me?” he looked at her and asked.
“Of course!” she replied confidently.
Chandler pursed his lips. “Actually, you don’t have to accompany me. I can go by myself…”
“How are you going to drive with that hand, besides, my car is parked outside!” Tina said. “I’ll drive you to the hospital!”
After saying that, she headed downstairs directly!
Chandler watched Tina’s figure, his eyes flickering slightly, and then he followed her.
The two got in the car, Tina took out her phone, opened the navigation, and selected a nearby hospital before starting the car and driving towards the hospital.
“So, you can drive,” Chandler said softly.
“Hmm, I already had a driver’s license. Even though I lost my memory, I didn’t forget how to drive. I took driving lessons with an instructor for two weeks, so there shouldn’t be any problem,” Tina said.
Chandler lowered his head.
He used to know everything that happened to her.
But now, they were separated, and he knew nothing about the changes she went through and what happened to her.
“Why did you come to my place yesterday?” Chandler asked.
“I heard from Harley that you weren’t feeling well and left early, so I came to check on you,” Tina said.
But after saying this, she felt a strange sensation.
It was as if she was saying that she cared about him.
If he were to ask her about it later, how would she answer? Tina’s mind started racing, trying to come up with the right response.
However, to her surprise, Chandler said, “Like I said before, you can treat me as a stranger.”
After hearing what he said, Tina was taken aback for a moment, and then she pursed her lips and said,
“Anyway, we have Quinn between us. We can’t be strangers!”
The car arrived at the hospital, and the two got out and came to the emergency room.
When the doctor saw the wound in the palm of Chandler’s hand, he took a sharp breath, “Why did you come to have it treated only now? We need to clean the wound quickly!”
Tina stood by, watching the doctor clean Chandler’s hand and the blood that had stopped started to seep out again.
The sight of the bloody scene made her feel pain, and even more so for Chandler, who was experiencing it.
But Chandler didn’t show any signs of pain on his face. Instead, he gently comforted Tina, “It doesn’t really hurt that much. You don’t have to stand there and watch. You can sit on the chair outside and take a break.”
Why is this man always so gentle? Tina looked at the man in front of her and felt an inexplicable affection in her heart. “If only I had brought you to the hospital last night in time.”
That way, he wouldn’t have to endure this second round of pain.
“Tina, what happened last night was my own doing. You don’t need to blame yourself. Besides, you drove me to the hospital today, and that’s already a great help,” Chandler said softly.
However, the more he spoke gently, the heavier she felt in her heart.
After the doctor bandaged Chandler’s hand, they left the hospital.
“Don’t let your hand touch water for a week, and remember to apply the ointment on time every day,”
Tina said.
“Okay,” Chandler replied gently.
Tina pursed her lips, feeling this kind of tenderness again.
She didn’t know when it started, but his tenderness made her feel a sting.
“Let me drive you back,” she said.
“No need, I can go back on my own…”
Before he finished his sentence, she interrupted, “I’ll drive you back, and there’s something I want to clarify!”
Chandler remained silent, naturally understanding what she wanted to ask.
This time, instead of saying “okay,” he silently followed her into the car.
Tina drove back to Chandler’s villa.
They arrived in the living room, and Tina said, “Can you tell me what happened last night?”
Chandler smiled bitterly. Some things, even if he wanted to hide them, would eventually be discovered!
“Last night, the curse in my body was triggered. You know, I have a curse from the Hunter family, and the curse flares up periodically, just like what you saw yesterday.”
Tina hesitated for a moment. “It’s very painful, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it’s very painful. It can drive a person to lose control, be controlled by the pain, and even engage in harmful behavior,” he explained.
“Is there nothing to alleviate the pain? Like taking painkillers?” she asked.
He looked at her intently. “No.”
Actually, there was a way. If he held her during the pain, it would gradually disappear. But his desire for her would become stronger.
Perhaps then he wouldn’t be able to resist having a sexual relationship with her.
If it were the old Tina who loved him, maybe he would use this method to alleviate the pain.
But not the current Tina. He wouldn’t use this method!
Tina bit her lip. “So, you want the Quentin family to help you get rid of the curse?”
“Yes.” He understood that she overheard his conversation with Lornell.
“Is this method very dangerous?” There was a trace of worry in her voice.
“It can be a bit dangerous, which is why I asked Lornell’s grandfather for help. If he helps, there won’t be much danger, at most a little discomfort,” Chandler said nonchalantly.
“What kind of discomfort?” Tina asked.
“That’s hard to say. After all, among the people of the Hunter family, there are very few who choose to remove the curse, and the results vary for each person,” Chandler explained.
“What are the results for those in the Hunter family who remove the curse?” Tina couldn’t help but ask.
But this time, Chandler didn’t answer. He simply said in an indifferent tone, “We are divorced now, you have no connection to the Hunter family anymore, and this is the Hunter family’s privacy.”
Tina was stunned. It was the first time she clearly felt Chandler drawing a line between them.
“Alright, do you have any other questions?” Chandler looked at Tina calmly.
“No,” Tina said.
“Then you should leave now,” Chandler said. “Also, Tina, don’t come here anymore in the future. If it’s about Quinn, you can contact me by phone. If you need anything, I’ll have someone take care of it. And in the future, when I remove the curse, if you want us to pretend to be good friends after the divorce in front of Tina, we can, but until then, let’s try not to meet privately!”
When Tina left Chandler’s villa, she felt an indescribable exhaustion throughout her body.
Shouldn’t they avoid meeting privately until he removes the curse?
Although she was the one who initiated the divorce, why is she the one feeling lost now?
Chandler hasn’t told her what happened to the people from the Hunter family who caused the curse, which makes her uneasy.
She feels like things aren’t that simple.
In fact, there is a simpler way to remove his curse and relieve his pain.
That is to have another child between them!
As long as they have the umbilical cord blood and placenta from the child, the problem can be solved.
But he rejected this condition that she proposed at the cost of divorce.
He said he didn’t need her to have another child because of this.
When he refused this condition, she was relieved at that time.
But now, when she truly sees Chandler in pain, she wonders if this can really work.
Can she just let him suffer like this, and let him be tormented by the Quentin family?
When Tina returned to her residence, Lina rushed to greet her. “Did you stay at Chandler’s place last night?”
Although she received a call from her daughter last night, saying that something came up and she wouldn’t be coming back to sleep, their relationship is not the same as before, so it still worried her for a night.
“Yeah,” Tina replied.
“But didn’t you two get divorced? Why did you stay at his place for a night?” Lina asked curiously.
“He got injured, so I… stayed with him,” Tina hesitated and gave a reason.
“Injured?!” Lina was shocked. “Where did Chandler get injured? Is it serious?”
“He cut his palm with glass, the doctor has treated it, it’s just a superficial wound, didn’t affect his hand nerves,” Tina explained.
“That’s good.” Lina breathed a sigh of relief, but then she became puzzled.
Just because Chandler injured his hand, her daughter stayed with him for a night?
The current Tina is not the same as the past Tina who deeply loved Chandler! Why would she stay with him? Did something else happen?
But since her daughter didn’t say anything, Lina chose not to ask.
After all, she will be a solid support for her daughter when she needs it.
As for Chandler’s situation, Tina couldn’t let it go, so she made an appointment with Harley.
“Tina, why did you suddenly ask me out for dinner?” Harley asked strangely.
