Chapter 6 Eternal Pain

"Mr. Hodges." Before leaving, Dr. Flynn called out and winked at him, tactfully asking him if he wanted to come along.

Ronin knew his implication, took a sidelong glance at Jeffrey, and asked, "Aren't you talking to the patient's family? I'm her only relative."

He stressed his tone when he said 'only', declaring his guardianship again.

He was like telling Jeffrey that this woman was not Scarlett and had nothing to do with him.

"My driver ran Miss Massey over by accident, so I certainly have the right to learn about her condition. Or else, how will I pay fair compensation?" Jeffrey naturally raised his eyes and met Ronin's gaze.

The two were about the same height and equally muscular.

The distinct tension in their eyes made the doctor nervous.

"Compensation is not necessary. I'm not short of money and will discuss with Ellie about whether to bring it to court." Now that he admitted to causing the accident, things would be easy.

"I'm willing to compensate Miss Massey just because my car hit her. Mr. Gates, the court process is not quite appropriate since Miss Massey violated the traffic rules in the first place." Jeffrey remained composed. His eyes were serene but cold.

"Such being the case, you don't need to know about Ellie's condition. As I said, your compensation is not needed." He glared at the doctor, urging him to head to the office.

"Well, Mr. Hodges, please excuse me." Caught between rocks, Dr. Flynn lost his head as he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Instead of giving the doctor a response, Jeffrey stared at Ronin with his deep eyes and asked seriously, "Is she Scarlett?"

Ronin raised his eyes and answered in an arrogant yet indifferent voice, "No."

Then he pulled the doctor into the corridor. Jeffrey didn't follow them.

He watched them walk away, fished his phone from his pocket, and called his assistant, Kian Snow, "I need that information."

"I'll send it to you right away." Before this, he asked Kian to investigate Ellie.

When the doctor asked her if she had been severely crushed, he naturally associated it with the plane crash five years ago.

It was the second day after he claimed Scarlett by force. She left him the signed divorce papers and moved out of his villa.

Only then did he regret the terrible things he had done.

In his mind, her virginity was taken by another man on the day of their marriage, and she married him with ulterior motives.

He believed that she loved another man.

Therefore, in the following year after their marriage, he hated her, never spotted her, nor told anyone that she was his wife.

And he never touched her.

She showed him the divorce papers on the third day after Luna's accident, and he took her virginity for force.

After that, he searched for her frantically, trying to figure out the truth. What came, however, was the news of her death.

She was on a flight to Paris, and the plane crashed. No survivors.

From then on, she was an eternal pain in his heart.

About what happened that night and the misunderstanding on the day of their marriage, he owed her an apology but forever lost his chance.

With her sudden death, he didn't get to the bottom of whether she was involved in Luna's accident.

Was it really her who caused the accident?
