"I'm going to bed too...Thanks, Judith. I'll pick the clothes myself." If she's going to stay here on weekends, she'd better prepare sspare clothes.
Judith left with a smile.

She called the bar owner first.
He had been up all night, worried sick. He and Hank were both at the hospital right now. Hank was seriously injured, but the owner had only gotten sminor bruises and stayed with Hank at the hospital.
Hank was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, and he had no family in this city. The owner didn't want to leave him alone in the hospital.
When the bar owner received Stephanie's call, he immediately said, "It's Stephanie!" Hank's spirits seemed to lift at once, "Answer the phone quickly!" The bar owner pressed the answer button with a trembling finger, praying in his heart that nothing had happened to Stephanie.
At last, when he heard the lively voice of the girl on the other end, the bar owner let out a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good...Steph, we really owe you an apology for tonight." "Boss, what are you talking about? I'm the one who started all this trouble; I'm sorry to everyone...By the way, is everyone alright?" "Everyone's just got sminor injuries...Except for Hank. We're in the hospital right now!" "Is it serious?" "It's not too bad; he'll be alright after staying in the hospital for a few days. Steph, don't worry about it..." Even at a tlike this, the owner was still trying to comfort her.
Stephanie felt touched and said, "I'm sorry, Boss. I've only given you more trouble even after leaving." "It's okay, as long as you're fine... The bar has only suffered smaterial damage and we can continue business after paying for the repairs. As long as everyone's alright, it's not a big deal." "Don't worry, Boss. Tomorrow, I'll ask my friends for help and see if we can get scompensation for everyone... We can't just let you guys take the hit for no reason." "Stephanie, don't... Those big shots are not someone ordinary people like us should mess with! We wouldn't dare to ask for compensation. Just be thankful that they didn't cause more trouble!" Stephanie forced a smile, "Okay, I understand." But the next morning, during breakfast, she mentioned it to Sebastian.
Sebastian nodded, "I got it." "How are you going to deal with this, Silver Fox?" Sebastian said emotionlessly, "You don't need to worry about this issue. Later, I'll send someone to take
you back to the hospital. Leave him your driver's phone number and you can call him anytyou need a ride.
allhing Aaron won't bother you for the tbeing, but be on your guard." Stephanie nodded, "I understand...Gillian and Maddie are coming to see my mom at the hospital today. I might go out with them for a bit." "Maddie? The young lady who took you to the police station last time?" "Yes, her. We're close friends now." "You really know how to make friends with powerful people..."
"Hmph, Silver Fox, what a thing to say! What do you mean, make friends with powerful people? I'm already with you! There's no need cling to others: We're genuine friends! Maddie might be a bit spoiled and willful, but she's not bad atheart... Sometimes she can even be quite cute.
"You don't know, Silver Fox. She took the initiative to befriend Gillian and me. She drove out the other people in our dorm and redecorated the place. Now, it's just the three of us living there. "And guess what, she's actually interested in Putnam, haha! She even askedfor his phone number!"
