BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 508
Reese looked at her and shook her head sadly, "You're already so hurt and you're still saying things like that!"
The memory of last night's harrowing events gave Mariel a shiver of fear, but she fixed her gaze on Reese with sincerity, "I am
telling the truth. Don't blame yourself!"
Was he the one who took care of you last night?" Did he take care of you last night?"
When she heard this, Mariel's face immediately turned red and she said in a barely audible voice, "Well, he saved me last night
and he stayed with me in the hospital until I woke up! He brought me some breakfast, I should go and wash up, after I wash up I
have to go to the ward to do rounds!"
When Ava heard this, she just nodded her head and said nothing more.
At that moment, Reese didn't see anything wrong with Mariel Chase at all. She looked at Mariel Chase and said, "Mariel, as I
told you before, Dr. Rivers is a wonderful man. He's the most compassionate and righteous doctor you'll ever meet. Truly a
beacon of goodness and benevolence."
Mariel gave a shy nod of agreement with a hint of embarrassment in her voice, "Yes, I've only recently come to realize that!" she
As soon as she had finished speaking, a worried voice called out the name of Mariel Chase. "Mariel!"
Reese turned to see a woman and a young man entering the ward.
"Mariel!" The noble lady shouted Mariel's name. She had a worried look on her face.
The lady stepped forward, ran directly to the hospital bed, shoved Reese away, looked Mariel up and down, looked at the wound
on her neck, her eyes suddenly turning red, "Oh, my poor little girl! What have they done with you? Are you okay?" Mariel was
helpless, "Mom, don't make a fuss. It's just a little injury. I was afraid it would get infected, so I put a bandage on it!"
Reese was shocked. This woman turned out that this be Mariel's mother!
It was at this time that the young man standing next to the lady said, "Mariel, if you're hurt, just be honest and tell us about it.
We'll have a talk with the doctor about the details."
Mariel pursed her lips and cried out in a long voice, "Brother!"
Mariel Chase's mother, Evelyn Mitchell, looked at Mariel's appearance and couldn't contain her worry and anger, "Stop acting
like a baby! And quit babying her! Don't think that acting like a baby is going to keep us from being angry. If you can't protect
yourself when you go out in the future, then just don't go out anymore! I heard what happened this time. Damn that Walter
Simmons. Our families have already called off your engagement to him. How dare he do this to you? I'm not letting their family
Mariel purged her lips, "Mom, Walter is already dead and his father is in jail. Things have come to this, Mom, so let it end here.
Don't try to do anything that will escalate the situation!
With Walter dead and his oldest brother Landon Simmons still in the Simmons
family, Mariel really doesn't want to create any more conflict and hatred.
After listening to Mariel's request, Evelyn's face turned sour, "Is it wrong for a mother to seek justice for her child?"
At this point, Mariel's older brother, Oliver Chase, grabbed his motherin an attempt to control her temper. "Mom, Mariel is still
recovering from getting hurt, you don't need to get mad at her!"
When Evelyn heard this and saw the wound on the back of her daughter's neck, her expression softened a bit.
Mariel saw Reese and Ava standing off to the side and quickly introduced them, "Reese, Ava, this is my mother and this is my
brother!"
After saying that, she looked at Evelyn with a smile, "Mom, these are my friends, Reese and Ava!"
Evelyn had originally looked at Reese and Ava with a smile on her face, but when she heard Reese's name, her expression
suddenly changed.
She stared at Reese's face for a long time, and then she noticed that this face looked a little bit familiar to her. Wasn't it the one
she had seen in the photos online last night?
She had scolded her back then on the phone. She wondered why so many young girls were being led astray these days,
engaging in immoral acts like seducing married men.
The tension in the room was palpable as Evelyn recognized Reese's face.
