From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Warm-hearted Citizen, Miss Sinclair

An hour ago, the police began their investigation.

Chloe Sinclair was sent to the hospital. When the nurse saw the large wound on Chloe Sinclair’s elbow, her heart sank.

When she learned that Chloe Sinclair hadn’t even planned on coming to the hospital, her expression was full of disapproval.

"A wound this large has to be cleaned. What if it gets infected?"

After she spoke, she looked at Chloe Sinclair’s big, glistening eyes and couldn’t bring herself to scold her. Even her tone softened considerably.

After a few more instructions, Chloe Sinclair was taken to have her wound cleaned.

To the nurse’s surprise, however, the young woman didn’t even furrow her brow, not even when the wound was being flushed with alcohol.

After leaving the hospital, Chloe Sinclair was taken to the police station to give a statement.

The accident had already attracted a great deal of attention online. Less than an hour after the incident, short-video apps were flooded with clips of the crash at Emberfall International Airport. In no time at all, it shot to the top of the trending charts.

Two hours later, it was trending on multiple platforms, capturing the attention of the entire web.

Since the authorities had yet to release an official statement, many users were flooding the comments of the official police account, demanding an update.

Meanwhile, some users, eager to stir up drama, started spreading rumors online:

[I was there. A ton of people died. The truck even made it onto the main road.]

[The police said the driver was on drugs. He’s already been taken into custody.]

At first, no one believed them. But when these users started posting what they claimed was video proof, people began to accept their stories as fact.

「Emberfall Police Department」

When he was told that a young woman had stopped the truck, he hadn’t believed it for a second, his expression screaming, ’You’ve got to be kidding me.’

But after watching the footage from the airport, his jaw nearly hit the floor.

He was silent for a long moment, still seeming to not quite believe it. He gave Chloe Sinclair several long, meaningful looks.

’This young woman is remarkably beautiful. Yet, with her own life on the line, she wasn’t just unafraid—she actually saved a mother and son in mere seconds.’

On the surveillance footage, Chloe Sinclair had a brush with death, plain and simple.

’If she had been just a fraction of a second slower, the outcome would have been completely different.’

As he thought this, his gaze toward Chloe Sinclair filled with admiration.

’After all, in a situation like that, even he wouldn’t have been able to do it.’

’He wouldn’t have had the opportunity, let alone the courage!’

The officer was about to speak when another person there to give a statement glanced at his phone, gasped, and then swore, "Fuck! You’re the one who’s dead! Your whole damn family’s dead!"

The man had just finished speaking when he realized many pairs of eyes were fixed on him.

He grew flustered. "No, no, I wasn’t cursing at you. I was cursing at these rumor-mongers online."

He finished, still indignant, "The internet is such a cesspool these days. ’A major traffic accident?’ What a load of bullshit!"

The truck did go out of control, but aside from the driver who died from a medical emergency after rescue attempts failed, there were no major casualties.

And more importantly, the so-called "major traffic accident" never even happened!

[Does the person above think they’re writing a novel? This sounds way too over-the-top. If what you’re saying is true, the brakes had failed and the truck was going fast, right? There are three turns between that spot and the main road. At that speed, there’s no way the truck could have navigated those turns.]

The commenter was adamant. When others expressed disbelief, he even scribbled out formulas on paper, trying to use logic and evidence to prove his point.

In less than half an hour, the comment had over three hundred replies.

Just as everyone was starting to be convinced by the skeptic’s logic, the Emberfall Police posted another video.

The video was short, only thirty-odd seconds.

The police had captioned the video, so users immediately realized it was Emberfall Police’s official response to the debate.

The first few seconds of the video were peaceful. But five seconds in, sounds of panic erupted. People who had been chatting and laughing moments before were now scattering in every direction, their screams overlapping.

What made it even more terrifying was the sight of a mother and child, right in the truck’s path.

Just as everyone assumed the mother and son were doomed, the girl in the baseball cap standing in front of the child reacted with incredible speed. At the exact moment the truck bore down on them, she leaped into the air, narrowly avoiding the vehicle as it brushed past her.

But the truly shocking part came next. After rolling on the ground several times, the girl in the baseball cap got right back to her feet, chased down the truck without a moment’s hesitation, and climbed into the cab.

Everyone watching the video was left speechless.

[Is she on the national team or something? Who dares to race an out-of-control truck?!]

[That girl has some serious guts.]

After a long silence, someone finally asked:

[So... who is this Miss Sinclair?]
