In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 165

I glared at him and finished the juice. “Please enjoy your dinner alone. I’ve got to leave as there is some stuff I need to attend to.”

He gave me a look of discontent and exclaimed, “I came all the way here, and you guys are all leaving me by myself! Why can’t y’all accompany me around J City?”

“You are already so familiar with this place. If you need to borrow a car, I can lend it to you. I really need to go.” I passed my car keys to him and left the cafe, headed to the yoga class.

I had been a lazy bum all my life. After half an hour of yoga, I was exhausted.

My phone kept on ringing while I was resting. It was from an unknown number. I did not answer the call and continued with my practice.

When I was just about to leave, Ashton called. I answered, and he exclaimed, “Quick, come to the hospital now! Macy and Jared got into an accident!”

My heart skipped a beat. There was no time to waste, so I hurried over.

Ashton and Joe were waiting at the ER. My legs were sore as I ran over, and I almost fell.

Ashton noticed and rushed forward to catch me. “Macy had a slight graze on her scalp. She’s in the dressing room and will be out soon.”

I sighed a breath of relief and looked at the ER and asked in concern, “How serious is Dr. Crest’s condition?”

“Jared is still in critical condition. Your best friend must’ve jinxed him.”

The person who would have made such a remark was none other than Joe.

That was not my first time hearing such remarks from him, so I ignored them. I looked at Ashton and asked, “What happened?”

He brought me over to take a seat and explained, “Macy and Jared quarreled in the car. Jared got distracted, drove past the red lights, and crashed into a delivery truck. Macy injured her head while Jared is still in the ER.”

I was stunned. “Any other persons injured?”

“The truck driver died in the crash,” Ashton informed regretfully. “I’ve already sent Joseph to handle the matter. You don’t need to worry too much.”

I sat on the chair with my hands trembling. Joe glared at me and said in sarcasm, “Wow, I didn’t know Scarlett was so easily scared.”

“Joe, that’s enough!” Ashton yelled in frustration.

Joe shut his mouth and glared at me again.

Rebecca ran over in heels and asked hurriedly, “I just got to know about this. What actually happened?”
