Not far away, a man in a black suit was passing a file of documents to another person in a black Bentley parked by the roadside.
They were probably conducting a business deal. Seeing as it was rather late, I decided to be on my way.
Just as I was going to look away, I caught a glimpse of the man in the backseat. His face was cold and handsome, and it seemed as familiar as it was foreign.
That’s Marcus!
Was—was that really him?
I froze immediately, too stunned to know what to do next. Without turning to pick up my bag from the bench, I ran towards the car immediately.
“Marcus!” I yelled. As soon as he heard my voice, an expression of shock appeared on Marcus’s handsome face.
He swept a cold look towards me, before taking the file of documents from the man expressionlessly. After that, he slammed the door shut, and the Bentley pulled away quickly.
I continued to run after the car like a mad woman, screaming loudly, “Marcus! Marcus!”
However, the car refused to slow down. At that moment, the traffic light turned red, and the Bentley screeched to a halt.
Feeling extremely relieved, I ran over to the car at once. In my haste, I didn’t realize a car speeding towards me until it was too late.
Before I could react, I had flown through the air and landed on the ground with a sickening crash.
I felt an excruciating jolt of pain shoot through my knees and my elbows.
“Miss, are you alright?” The driver of the car emerged from the car and ran towards me, helping me up from the ground. He looked extremely apologetic. “I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t mean to do it! You just appeared out of nowhere—I didn’t see you coming at all.”
I shook my head. Before I could respond, I looked up to see the traffic lights turn green again. The Bentley sped off into the distance.
I stood and gaped as it left, feeling rather confused. My eyes didn’t deceive me—I was sure the person I just saw was Marcus.
But Marcus was supposed to be dead…
“Miss, why don’t I take you to the hospital? You’re bleeding quite badly. Just to be safe, you should probably get a doctor to take a look at your injuries.”
The driver’s face was white as a sheet as he said that. Clearly, he was more stunned than I was.
I snapped out of my daze and looked down at myself. My knees and elbows were drenched completely in blood.
Thanks to Rebecca, I had gotten a couple of scratches on my body while defending Ashton from her attack. However, the wounds had reopened again when I was thrown to the ground.
The wounds were rather deep, and they were bleeding rather profusely.
“Well, I’ll have to trouble you then!” I couldn’t possibly drive myself to the hospital now, could I?
