Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Car Accident

‘I thought I was over him,‘ Darya said to her own reflection in the rearview mirror. ‘Then why does it still hurt

to know he loves someone else?‘

She blew out a breath and reached for the dashboard control to turn on the radio.

She needed music, voices, anything to distract her and get out of her own head.

The tipper truck came out of nowhere.

By the time Darya registered its presence, it was too late.

The reinforced front bumper of the truck rammed straight into the bonnet of the Rolls–Royce.

The luxury sedan was practically swallowed by the truck.

Darya heard an ear–splitting screech and the sounds of metal crunching.

Then the world turned black.

When she came to, she saw a white ceiling

The pungent smell of disinfectant told her where she was.

When she tried to sit up, a sudden wave of dizziness forced her to lie back down.

Almost in the next instant, footsteps rushed into the room.

Gloved fingers pried open her eyelids.

Someone shone a bright light in both eyes.

She teared up.

A man’s voice asked questions.

Darya answered in a hoarse voice, her brain still in a fog

Eventually, footsteps moved away from the bed.

Quiet returned to the room.

But before she could close her eyes and rest, the door banged open again.

‘Darya! Thank god you are awake! How are you feeling? I was scared to death when they told me you were hit by a truck. I couldn’t believe my ears! I jumped straight out of bed and rushed here, but they wouldn’t let me

see you…”

Darya opened her eyes by a slit.

Timothy’s handsome face came into view.

His hair was uncombed and he was sporting a five o’clock shadow on his face.

Derya spotted the grey silk pyjama top under his unbuttoned suit jacket.

Carefully, he planted a hip on the edge of her bed. How are you feeling?”

Derya blinked and belatedly, felt pain.

It was as if someone had fed her body through a meat grinder.

Every bone and joint screamed in pain.

She couldn’t see it, but she could feel the bandage wrapped around her head and face.

Even the simple act of breathing hurt.

Timothy’s voice hitched. “Thank god you are okay.‘

Darya recalled the last thing she remembered before she passed out. ‘How long was I out?‘

Timothy wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. ‘Almost eight hours. They had to perform emergency surgery to stop the internal bleeding. The broken bones will take longer to heal.‘

‘What about the other driver?‘

‘Who?‘

‘The one who was driving the truck that hit my car,‘

‘L…I don’t know,‘ Timothy scratched the back of his head. ‘I was waiting outside the operating room the entire time. Didn’t pay attention to the other driver.”

His face turned grave. ‘Do you suspect it wasn’t an accident?‘

Darya nodded, a difficult manoeuvre given her head was wrapped up in bandages like a mummy’s. ‘The driver didn’t slow down, didn’t honk. He or she aimed straight for me.‘

Timothy shot to his feet. “That fucker! Don’t worry, I’m going to find out who he is, and I’m going to make him pay!‘

“There’s no rush,‘ Darya rasped. ‘Could you get me some water, please?‘

‘Sure.‘ Timothy reached for the plastic pitcher on the bedside table. ‘The doctors said you shouldn’t eat any solid food for the next twenty–four hours. Do you want some soup? Or Jell–O?‘

‘Maybe later. I’m not hungry not right.‘ She patted the bed, gestured for Timothy to sit. ‘Who contacted you?‘ ‘Avery. He was listed as your emergency contact. Since he’s still stuck overseas, he called me. I called the hospital and drove straight here. I was almost scared to death when I saw you on that stretcher, blood all over

you…‘

Darya listened patiently as Timothy rambled on, a way to vent his fear.

‘I need you to do something for me,‘ she said.

‘Sure, anything. What is it?‘
