When Eleanor was knocked to the ground, all she heard was the screeching of tires.
She was startled and quickly turned her head to see Bernard, who had also been knocked down.
He grunted, and a trickle of blood slowly seeped from his lips.
"Sir!"
A group of bodyguards jumped out of the car, their faces pale.
They rushed over to help him up, intending to take him to the hospital.
But Bernard shrugged them off, got up shakily, and walked determinedly over to Eleanor.
He knelt in front of her on one knee, helped her up, and then began frantically checking her for injuries.
"Eleanor, are you okay?"
The panic and worry in his eyes made Eleanor's heart tremble.
She stared blankly at the man in front of her, who had just been hit by a car, yet he was more concerned about her.
Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, and she couldn't find the words to say anything.
Seeing her silence, Bernard thought he had hurt her and quickly picked her up, moving towards the car.
As Eleanor was lifted, she saw the blood on his lips and her face turned even paler.
"Bernard, you're coughing up blood. You must have internal injuries, put me down, don't strain yourself."
But Bernard ignored her pleas, he put her in the car and turned to glare at the man in the sports car.
"He should get a taste of what it's like to be hit by a car!"
With that, Bernard got into the car and coldly ordered the driver, "To the hospital!"
As the car sped off, Bernard seemed to remember something and reached to feel the back of Eleanor's head.
Seeing Bernard bleeding, he immediately arranged for him to be admitted for examination.
Bernard leaned on the emergency table, spat a mouthful of blood into the bin, then said coldly to the dean, "Check her first."
He had pushed her hard and wasn't sure if she was seriously injured.
Seeing Bernard insist on her being checked first, even though he was coughing up blood, Eleanor felt a pang in her heart.
She gently told Bernard, "I'm really okay. Listen to the doctor and have your examination, okay?"
She asked so softly that Bernard couldn't refuse. He gently touched her face and whispered, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
After agreeing, he was taken to a VIP ward under the doctor's arrangement.
Before the examination began, he still insisted that the doctors also check Eleanor.
Only after confirming that she was okay did he relax and undergo an MRI. The results showed that he had bleeding in his lungs.
