A car accident?
How did that happen?
Amber was perplexed.
It was just ten minutes before when she spoke to Jared, who had told her that he had been on his way back.
And then she was told that he had got into a car crash.
How could she possibly bear it?
Amber bit her bottom lip, with eyes red with tears and a pain clutching at her heavy heart.
A crackup, how horrible!
He could get seriously injured, if not killed.
Jared had already experienced one before herself, and although he hadn’t gotten badly hurt back then, nobody could know what would happen to him this time.
She had just got back together with him. Was he going to be taken away from her again?
Amber was gasping again as fears and worries grew inside her.
Ben, having heard her question on the other side of the phone, looked at Jared beside him, and hastened to answer, “Oh, Miss Reed, relax, now he is fine. He just passed out. We are on our way to the hospital.”
“Is he really gonna be all right?” Amber was still worried, with her hands clutching the arms of her chair.
It was a car crash after all.
Ben nodded resolutely, “Jared will definitely be all right. I am completely OK, and I’m the driver. Mr. Farrell will be fine too. It wasn’t that serious. We just plowed into a flowerbed on the curb.”
Amber was beginning to believe him and feel relieved.
Indeed, the driver and the person in the passenger seat were often the ones who got injured or killed in a car crash, while people in the backseat were most likely to survive.
Jared should have been alright since his driver survived.
At that thought, Amber was relieved with her heart feeling less heavy and painful.
Just one thing, why would Jared have passed out?
He was not the kind of man to collapse so easily.
The car only had plowed into a flowerbed, as Ben had said,
Ben should have been the one who bore the impact, but he didn’t collapse, how could Jared on the rear seat do?
Amber squinted her eyes and wondered for a few seconds before she decided to let it go.
The most important thing then for her was to go check on Jared after all.
With that Amber pinched her palm, trying to calm herself down, rose to her feet, and walked towards the door stoically.
“Ben, which hospital are you heading for? I will be right there.”
“We are going to Dr. Lansdale’s hospital,” answered Ben.
It was Primary Medical Center he was referring to.
Amber nodded, “OK, I’ll be right there. Take good care of him. Call me if anything comes up.”
“Sure. Miss Reed,” said Ben.
Amber twitched her mouth with a groan as a response. She then put down her phone, hastily changed her clothes, and rushed to the hospital.
Her hands were holding onto the steering wheel grimly tight as she drove.
They were gripping so tight that whenever they were slightly shaking the car swayed dangerously from left to right. People in the cars around her all wound down their windows and shouted at her.
Oblivious of all that, she fixed her eyes sternly on the road ahead, biting her bottom lip, while preoccupied with what could have happened to Jared.
Although Ben reassured her that Jared was fine by then, nobody could say for sure until he was checked by a doctor. She was still concerned.
