Selina's fingers were shaking. "How could his car get out of control? How was that possible?"
It was evident on the assistant's face that he was full of agony and rage. "Miss Whitlock, we have seen the surveillance at that time. Mr. Perry was undoubtedly the person responsible for the car accident. Mr. Perry's car was out of control, but we have yet to find out why."
Anxiousness was displayed on Selina's face.
"How could this happen? He has always been careful and composed, so how could the car suddenly gO out of control?" Selina wondered out loud, "Could there be something wrong with the car?"
"Miss Whitlock, the car has already been checked. There was no technical issue with Mr. Perry's car."
Selina nodded and forcibly kept her composure. "Alright then."
The assistant comforted her. "Miss Whitlock, Mr. Perry is a good person and he will get what he deserves. Don't worry, he will be fine."
Selina pondered on his words and put on a smile. "I know, he will definitely be fine."
Matthew would definitely be fine.
The man who was supposed to get the marriage certificate with her and bring her happiness had yet to fulfil his promises. How could he end up anything else but fine?
Everything would be fine.
When the night came, Natalie, Cecilia and Tobias rushed to the hospital.
"Selina, how did this happen? How did this happen to Matthew?" Cecilia was so worried that her eyes turned red.
Selina said in a low voice, "He collided with a large truck by accident."
"How could he bump into a truck?" Cecilia wondered and placed the blame on herself. "Could it be because I asked the both of you to get the marriage certificate last night? Selina, it's all my fault."
Selina shook her head in disagreement. "Mom, it is not your fault. Matthew and I should have gotten married long ago. Don't blame yourself."
Natalie also comforted Cecilia, "Mom, you are overthinking, this is definitely not your fault."
Tobias shot Natalie a look as she continue to comfort Cecilia. Then, he called Selina aside.
"Selina, I just spoke to the doctor about Matthew.
He should be fine," Tobias said to Selina.
Selina's reaction was not as dramatic as Tobias thought it would be.
There was a faint light in her eyes. "Tobias, I know that he will be fine."
Matthew would never leave her alone.
Tobias patted Selina on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you are feeling fine. I'm worrying about you the most."
"Tobias, you don't have to worry. I know what to do."
"Car accidents are inevitable. I was in a car accident in the past but now I'm much better."
"Okay," Selina said. "I'll wait here for him until he wakes up."
As it was getting late, Selina asked Cecilia and the others to go back home.
Neither of them agreed to it, saying that they would not leave until they were sure that Matthew was out of danger.
Fortunately, after a while, the doctor came back with good news.
Matthew was no longer in danger.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"Mom, you can go back now. You and Natalie have to take care of the baby. Tobias, you have things to do in the office. I will be fine here with Matthew's assistant."
Cecilia and the rest finally agreed to go home.
Before leaving, Cecilia said to Selina, "Selina, the doctor has said that Matthew is fine now so you can stop worrying. Don't stay overnight. Find a proper bed and have a good rest."
Selina brushed the strands of hair on her forehead aside and said, "Mom, I am fully aware of that. Don't worry about me. Go back and have a good rest."
"We'll come back tomorrow."
After sending off Cecilia and the others, Selina stayed awake. She wasn't in the mood to sleep so she sat on the long bench outside the ward.
Matthew's assistant asked Selina to get some rest. He informed her that there was a VIP ward arranged for her, but she politely declined.
