Chapter 1673
After some hesitation, Zachary told Serenity the truth.
“Seren, I’m not going over anymore. If the food has been delivered, you can dig in first. I’m at the hospital. Duncan met with an accident.”
Upon hearing the news, Serenity’s expression changed She quickly asked, “How did it happen? Did it occur when you two were together? Did you both drink and drive again?”
Zachary explained, “No. We didn’t drink today. That was yesterday All of us didn’t drive. I still don’t know what happened. I came to the hospital right after Josh informed me Duncan’s still in the emergency room. They say his legs were injured the worst, and it’s uncertain whether they can be saved.”
Toward the end, his tone turned heavy, and his speech slowed. He sounded sad.
“I’m done with my work now. I’ll head to the hospital after closing the store.”
Zachary did not stop his wife from coming over He reminded her, “Drive slowly ”
“I’ll have a bodyguard drive. Don’t worry. Mr. Lewis is a good person. He’ll be protected by the heavens and be okay.”
Serenity could only console her husband.
Zachary hummed in response. “He’ll be okay.
He believed that Duncan could pull through.
“Seren, eat something before coming over.”
While he worried for his best friend, Zachary did not forget to remind Serenity to first grab a bite: She would probably not be in the mood to eat after coming to the hospital. He could starve, but he could not let Serenity starve with him.
“Okay. How many people are waiting in the hospital? I’ll order takeaways for everyone.”
“No need. Just have your food. I’ll have someone head out to grab some food.”
Serenity was at ease as Zachary had already made arrangements.
After ending the call, she quickly ate some food and moved all the racks at the store’s entrance
back inside.
The bodyguards noticed that she was closing up and entered to help.
Several minutes later, Serenity hopped into the car and let the bodyguards drive her to Wiltspoon Community Hospital.
She thought hard and long on the way to the hospital. In the end, she dialed her sister’s number.
