What answered her was scattered screams at the other end which was mixed in with police sirens and also sound of ambulances.
The next moment, an anxious female voice sounded, “Hello, may I know are you related to the owner of this phone? He has met with an accident, and it was pretty serious, we’re at…”
Charlotte felt a shudder run through her and her phone immediately dropped to the floor with a loud crashing sound.
…
In the central hospital.
Charlotte rushed to the hospital like mad, and the operation being carried out in the operation theatre was coming to an end.
The door was swung open and a nurse hurried out of the theatre.
Charlotte lurched forward and grabbed the nurse’s hand with force. She asked with a shaking voice, “That man inside has met with an accident in a place just five hundred metres away from the hospital? How is he now? Is he…”
The nurse retrieved her hand and lifted her gaze at Charlotte for a moment.
“Are you his wife or?”
Charlotte straightened her body and shot a wary glance elsewhere. She then said with hesitation, “We are… friends.”
The nurse let out a sigh and said with a sorry tone, “He is so young too, that’s unfortunate. His nervous system has been buffeted greatly, and he has become a vegetative. Nobody can guess now when will he come back to reality.”
“A huge truck hit him from the front and he was immediately sucked underneath the truck. It was a miracle that he wasn’t smashed into pieces. The perpetrating driver has been arrested.”
A vegetative…
Charlotte trembled and sat down on a bench behind her.
“Miss.” The nurse held her and said, “At this point, I hope you well and nor be drown by sorrow.”
Sorrow?
It was initially hopeless to reunite with her family members, and the only detective who knew about their news had turned into a vegetable.
