Chapter 1275: Upon hearing this, Darwin turned to look at Zaria.
Zaria was on the floor, curled up like a wounded creature, both arms wrapped around her head.
Her face was obscured, but the anguish in her posture was unmistakable—she was clearly in pain. Darwin knew full well he hadn't gone easy on her when he had pushed her.
His face and eyes were brimming with impatience and barely concealed irritation as he looked at Zaria. But since Belinda had asked him to take Zaria to the hospital, he had no choice but to agree.

So Darwin gave a curt nod and said to Belinda, "I understand. You and Mr. Clark can go on with your dinner. I've already settled the bill." "Alright. I'll head to the restroom first," Belinda replied and turned to leave.
She had only stepped out to go to the restroom and hadn't expected to walk into such a tic scene. The moment Belinda left, Darwin's face darkened, his gentleness vanishing in an instant.
He looked down at Zaria, still on the floor. "Stand up," he said flatly.
Zaria remained crouched for a moment, then slowly raised her head, her features twisted with pain. "Darwin... My head is pounding. I also feel dizzy. Can you helpup?" she muttered, her voice trembling, eyes pleading.
Darwin cast her a cold glance, then looked away. Without a word, he slipped one hand into his pocket and turned to leave.
Zaria was stunned, wide-eyed with disbelief.
She hadn't anticipated that he would just walk away.
Panicked, she scrambled to her feet and stumbled after him.
"Darwin! Wait... Wait for me!" But Darwin didn't even slow down.

As the taxi pulled over, Darwin yanked the door open for Zaria and said sharply, "Get in."
Although she found it odd that Darwin hadn't brought his own car, Zaria climbed/silently into the backseat. The moment she was inside, Darwin slammed the door behind her.
He then pulled out his wallet, handed a hundred-dollar bill to the driver, and bill said, "Take her to the nearest hospital. You can keep the change." Zaria clutched the seat, panic rising in her chest. "You're not accompanying me?" she asked nervously.
Darwin's gaze was sharp and biting as he sneered, "Don't think I didn't see through that little performance of yours earlier."
