My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1788

Late at night, the sound of a ringing phone startled Skylar and Joe awake.

Still groggy, Skylar reached for the phone. For a moment, she was disoriented.

"Who's calling?" Joe asked, his voice drowsy.

Skylar glanced at the screen and answered, "It's Charles."

The voice on the other end introduced himself. "Is this Ms. Skylar Sullivan? I'm a police officer. There's been a car accident..."

As Skylar listened, her face turned pale. "Are Charles and the woman with him in critical condition?" she asked, her voice trembling.

When it came to her loved ones, she couldn't remain calm.

Joe, now fully awake, rose quickly to grab clothes for them both. He also called Edgar, instructing him to come over immediately.

By the time Joe was done, Skylar had ended the call. Under the lights, Skylar's face was ashen.

"We need to go to the hospital now. They're at the Amberglade Hospital," she said, her voice steadier. "I'll let my mother know."

The car accident had been severe. Both Charles and Thelma were undergoing emergency surgery.

The driver responsible had been apprehended at the scene. Although there were no surveillance cameras at the accident site, a nearby shop's camera had recorded the crash.

The news of Charles' accident shocked everyone in the family. Janine, along with Steven and others, rushed to the hospital in a panic. Harvey, who was vacationing abroad, began arranging for a flight back.

By the time Skylar arrived at the hospital, Janine and Steven had also just arrived.

Janine, eyes red from crying, leaned weakly against Ted. "How could this happen? What did the police say? And what did the doctors say?"
