Temporary Assignment, and a Party Forgotten

Vanessa's eyes bulged, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth. "Who… hit you?"

Wade said without thinking, "A bunch of ruthless people. They surrounded me and beat me up. I couldn't hide."

Vanessa touched him, and he moaned again in pain.

Frowning, she immediately got up. "Get dressed; we're going to the hospital."

Wade startled. "No, I don't have insurance."

Vanessa said, "At the very least, we need to check if there are any internal injuries. It looks serious."

Wade shook his head. "It's just flesh wounds. There are no internal injuries."

Vanessa was angry. "Look at yourself in the mirror. You look like a Dalmatian right now. You have so many big bruises, and you still think you're fine?"

Hearing that, Wade also got up and looked at the big mirror at the foot of the bed. He immediately sighed. "Ah, my handsome back muscles and my sexy American curves!"
