Chapter 621
Elegance Gardens.
Olivia was pacing back and forth in the courtyard by herself. It was 7.30 p.m., but Zac had yet to return.
He said he would be back for dinner, so why was he not back yet even after an hour had passed?
Jimmy’s matter made Olivia worry more about Zac.
Mrs. Simmons took a coat and draped it on Olivia’s shoulder. “Miss, please go in and wait.”
Olivia felt uneasy and asked, “Mrs. Simmons, what time does Zac usually get home when he comes back for dinner?”
Mrs. Simmons pondered and said, “He usually arrives latest by 6.30 p.m. Maybe he is late because of the meeting.”
“No. He’d let me know if there was a delay, but I tried calling him, and I could not get through. Something’s wrong.”
“Let’s talk about it inside, Miss. It’s windy outside, and you will catch a cold.”
Although Olivia was reluctant, she followed Mrs. Simmons and returned to the house.
As soon as she entered, she heard the phone ringing in the living room. She rushed to answer it.
“Zac?”
The person on the other end of the line was a stranger with a male’s voice. “Excuse me, is this Mr Zac Quinton’s house?”
“Yes.”
“Mr. Quinton had a car accident and is now being treated in City Hospital. Please come over”
What? A car accident?
Olivia’s grip on the phone tightened. “Is it serious?”
“Yes. The main issue is your husband has an Rh-negative blood type, and we have run out of that type of blood in the blood bank. We may need it to be transferred here from other blood banks…”
“I’ll be there right away. My blood type is also Rh-negative.”
Then, Olivia hung up the call and ran out.
Mrs. Simmons did not know what had happened and stopped her. “Miss, it’s already late. Where are you going?”
“Mrs. Simmons, I want to go to the hospital. Zac…” Olivia’s voice trembled, but she tried hard to suppress her anxiousness. “Zac had a car accident. I have to go and take a look.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“It’s okay, Mrs. Simmons. You make some food. Zac might want to eat something when he wakes up.”
