Chapter 16

She didn't want to owe anything to Beckett, so she wanted to know how much he paid for medical expenses. "So far, the total cost for examination and treatment is a little over eight hundred dollars," said Reuben patiently. Upon hearing this, Madeleine didn't say anything. She just silently calculated in her mind the total cost, which consisted of the treatment fee and the cost of the cupcakes. "This time, you must finish the IV drip." Madeleine previously escaped midway from the hospital, so he especially reminded her. After hearing this, Madeleine still didn't utter a word. "Is the wound on your head really self-inflicted? Did those people harm you? "The police were here earlier. If you are truly a victim, you should have come forward and identified those who hurt you." Reuben felt that Madeleine's character was too timid. Even when the police approached her, she hesitated to speak out. If one was overly weak and unsure of how to resist and protect oneself, one deserved to be bullied.
