Just as the Pearsons started dinner, Filip got a phone call.
Seeing him leave with his phone, Frances frowned and was a bit dissatisfied. "Is he really that busy?"
Florence smiled. "It's a large company and he is managing it all by himself."
As soon as she finished her words, Filip had hung up the phone and got back. "Grandma, there's an emergency. I have to skip dinner. I will have dinner with you next time."
As he said, he looked at Florence. "Aunt Florence, I have to go now."
He was with a sullen face after the phone call. Obviously, something huge had happened.
Although Frances had just complained about Filip, she was not an unreasonable person. Seeing the look on his face, she said, "Go ahead, be careful on the way."
Taking a look at her, Filip nodded, "I will, Grandma."
Then he walked out.
Looking at his back, Frances said, "I wonder what has happened."
Filip seldom looked this anxious.
He walked to the garage and drove his car out of the mansion.
On the way, he drove at the fastest speed.
The call was not from Austin, but Dillon. He said Starry was in the hospital.
It took him about 20 minutes to get to the hospital. The sky was complete dark, he didn't even take his coat.
It was not until he got off the car and the cold wind blew on him that he finally felt cold.
However, he didn't mind it and walked straight into the hospital.
Story was already bandaging her wound by the time Izabella and Dillon got here.
Izabella searched around the orthopedics department before she found Starry. She ran over as soon as she saw Starry. "What happened, Starry?"
God knew how scared she was when she got Starry's call.
Starry looked at her, "It was an accident."
The doctor had finished bandaging her wound, while writing a prescription, she reminded Starry, "Try not to walk around, okay? If you want to recovery soon."
Hearing the doctor's words, Izabella asked, "Doctor, how's my friend? Is it serious?"
"It's not very serious, she had a bone fracture in her shin and she needs to stay in bed to recover. Take care of your friend, and don't let her use this leg."
Starry had held a crutch, "Isabella, let's talk outside."
Although the doctor had said that it was not very serious, hearing that Starry had a bone fracture, Isabella frowned, walked over and supported Starry. "What happened exactly? How did you get a bone fracture?"
Holding the crutch, Starry walked out of the doctor's office. Her shin had been bandaged and it hurt less now, but she could still feel pain.
She sat on the chair. "When I was making a turn, a car rushed over. To avoid crashing into it, I had to avoid it and my car hit a tree."
The car was driving at least 100 miles per hour, if she didn't manage to avoid it, she might be somewhere else rather than the hospital now.
Although she explained it only in the few words, Isabella was frightened. "Did the driver get away?"
"No, the police got there earlier than the ambulance did. The car hit the street light."
"So, are you going to the police department now?"
"Yes."
Starry answered and took out her phone. "I have to call Bentley."
