Emmeline’s heart sank into an abyss.
The car started, slowly driving out of the backyard and away from the Ryker Group.
It drove aimlessly, with only the earlier scene replaying in her mind.
Abel, how could you do this? Abel, have you been lying to me all along…”
Squeak! Crash!
A violent impact struck, and Emmeline’s world went black.
Benjamin never expected that Emmeline would be the one injured in the car accident at the intersection.
Having just returned from out of town, he witnessed the speeding vehicles crashing into the red light–running Ford Focus.
The driver’s compartment of the Ford Focus was severely deformed, and the driver was lying. unconscious on the dashboard, clinging to life.
Benjamin opened the passenger door, leaned in to check on the injured person, and was shocked to find that it was Emmeline.
Carefully, Benjamin carried her out and rushed to the hospital.
While driving, he dialed Abel’s phone.
The phone rang a few times but was rejected. He called again, only to receive a message that it was turned off.
“D’mn it!”
“Abel, what game are you playing?”
Benjamin cursed under his breath. Rejecting my call and turning off your phone when it’s a matter of life and death, Emmeline’s life.
Indeed, the rejection and plíone turned off were done by Alana.
Benjamin arrived at the hospital with Emmeline.
The hospital admitted her for emergency treatment. She had a mild concussion and a cut on her forehead, bleeding a lot, but her life was not in danger. She was admitted for observation and treatment.
Benjamin called Abel again, but it was still turned off.
He contacted the on–duty traffic police officer and went to Ryker Group’s house to find him.
When Abel woke up, it was already six in the morning.
The curtains were not closed last night, and the light slanted in, a bit dazzling.
He sat up and thought for a moment. Luca was by his side when he came back last night, so he must have left by now.
He was extremely thirsty, feeling like smoke would come out of his throat.
He was about to go to the living room to pour some water when his phone suddenly rang.
At this hour, who could it be?
The first thought that came to his mind was Emma.
Abel quickly picked up the phone and looked down. It was Benjamin.
Feeling a bit disappointed, why did he call so early in the morning?
Abel lazily answered, ‘Good morning, Benjamin.”
“You’re still awake?” Benjamin scolded. “Are you still catching your breath, Abel!”
