Chapter 48 I Got Beat
I knew she was angry, but I was not talking nonsense. I saw it the other day.
One night I had a whim and wanted eat rice noodles, so Calvin accompanied me to eat. When I came back, I saw the woman's husband sitting in the passenger seat, and a young woman drove him back. Then she stopped at their door and kissed with her husband.
How can I recognize he was this woman's husband? May be because of my reporter's sensitivity, I remembered them since I had met them once.
I have a special way of remembering people. I never forget people once I meet them.
After the woman reacted, she pointed her nose at me and swore at me. The main idea was that I was a mistress who had ruined other people's families. I had a husband but I was pregnant with other man. I framed her for the jealousy of her sound family.
I waited for her to finish her scolding. She seemed to have no words to scold, panting stood in front of me. I slowly fought back.
"To correct one thing with you, Calvin is not married, so I am not mistress. I am separating from my husband now, I have asked for a divorce, but he does not agree. Besides, this is none of your business. Wha right do you have to judge me behind my back?"
I was a journalist who was articulate.
They were tongue-tied.
I was idle and bored, walked around in this community and relax. I was gloomy by what they had done.
If I was not happy, they won't feel better.
I looked at another woman, "Mrs. Xu, your existence seems not too glorious. Last time the woman came to your house to kick you should be your husband's legal wife. And you, Mrs. Xu, should I call you Mrs. Xu or the second Mr.s Xu?"
She was furious and wanted to pounce on me, but was avoided by me.
I knew I won by seeing that they were angry.
It was easy to win these bitches.
I turned and drifted away, leaving them swearing.
I don't swear in the street. I felt good to scold people, but when the bad words come out of mouth, and I feel hurt at the same time.
I can win this time so easy thanks to Lucy, who got to know well about these residents of the community. She often talked about them in front of me and Sally. Although I said nothing, I remembered those words. I did not expect that I could use them today.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the back of my head. Someone hit me with a stone. I covered the back of my head and felt my hands felt wet. I took a look at my hand and found it was full of bloold. When I turned around, the women ran in all directions at the sight of the blood on my hands, with teddy running after them.
Those women cannot defeat me with works, so they threw stones at me.
I looked at the huge stone at my feet, and felt dizzy. Fortunately, it was not far from home, so I managed to walk back and rang the bell as hard as I could.
Sally opened the door, screamed after seeing the blood on my hand, "Miss Josephine, Miss Josephine, what's the matter with you?"
"Stop howling. Can you drive? Take me to the hospital first."
"No!" Sally was still young. She did not know what to do out of panic. Lucy was scared to when she heard the voice and was about to call Calvin.
I stopped her. "He has a meeting this afternoon. Don't bother him."
It was not a big deal. I was not made of bean curd, which would be damaged by one smash.
"Get a clean towel and follow me." I said to Sasha, then fumbled for a car key on the top of the shoe cabinet.
Calvin had several cars in his garage, but he didn't let me drive them when I was alone.
I took the car keys, Sally hurriedly followed me in panic.
"Put a towel over the back of my head and I'll drive." I said to Sally, because I did not know how serious I hurt. If the skull was broken open, it would be tough. If only skin was damaged, it would be fine, a few stitches would work.
I always calmed. Seeing me be so calm, Sally also gradually calmed down.
So she put a towel on the back of my head and let her drop a candy in my mouth. Then with the candy under my tongue, I drove fast to the hospital.
I was probably the first woman to drive to the hospital with her head blown out.
When we arrived at the hospital, Sally ran to find a doctor.
Fortunately, my condition was not serious. The doctor pulled my head and said to me, "The skin is broken, the skull is ok, I will sew up two stitches for you."
I was nervous about stitches because I was allergic to anesthetics and couldn't have anesthetics. I had to grin and bear the pain and ask the doctor to sew me up.
The stitches weren't a big deal, but the doctor shaved off my hair in the back of my head. Luckily, I had a lot of hair. It couldn't be seen when the hair was down. If it was held it up, I'd be bald.
After the stitches were sewn on, the doctor gave me some anti-inflammatory drugs.
Sally took medicine for me, supported me to sit down on the bench.
She was still in shock, "Miss Josephine, how do you feel now?"
"What do you think that I've had my stitches done without the anesthetic?" It was painful, but I can endure it. I pressed my lips and said to her, "Take the medicine, let's go!"
"Are you sure you won't rest longer? You're driving later?"
"Are you afraid I'll kill you with my car?" I laughed, “Rest assured, you were fine when I my head was bleeding."
"I know, but you're pale. You'd better take a rest."
Ok, she was doing me a favor.
I was sitting on the bench. When I turned around I saw Calvin striding out of the elevator.
He must had come home. Lucy told him I had an accident, so he rushed to the hospital.
But how did he know I was at this hospital?
This hospital was not the nearest to his house. Because the surgeons here were better, I chose this one.
Calvin came up to me and bent over me. His movement was big, and he almost hit my forehead. Now I was more like a fragile porcelain doll, so I can't be hit again.
His face was grim-faced and he put a hand on my shoulder. "How did you get that?"
"I got beat up when I was out for a walk." I answered him lightly.
"By who?"
