Chapter 763
After confirming with a nurse several times, Catelyn finally believed that Stella was indeed involved in an accident. The doctor said that Stella was undergoing surgery, so Catelyn could do nothing except wait.
She rushed to Quinn and pulled her off the bench, "she was fine when I handed her over to you, so what's all this accident crap about? Did you do that?! What did you do to her?!"
She knew that Quinn had not been sincere with Stella, and she should not have left Stella unattended to Quinn. Her heart was full of self-blame and worries.
Quinn pretended to wipe away her tears, yet she had unspeakable doubts in her heart, just like Catelyn.
'Why is her reaction like this?' Catelyn was confused.
"It's my fault, and I'm sorry for my aunt! If I hadn't asked her to buy me a drink downstairs, she wouldn't have been run into by a Mercedis Maybach..."
Catelyn did not pay attention to her evasive explanation. "Where's the driver now? Have you called the police?"
Quinn choked and shook her head. "No, I don't dare to call the police. H—He has a lot of power..."
"Even more powerful than you, Miss Atherton?" Catelyn sneered. She despised Quinn for being afraid that people would find out she was Stella's biological daughter.
Promptly, she felt a little dizzy because she had been biting her bottom lip for too long.
After the dizziness subsided, she asked in a deep voice, "Tell me the license plate number, and I'll call the police!"
The light outside the operating room was still on, and Catelyn's pale, worried face was reflected on the icy-cold floor.
Quinn panicked and grabbed her cell phone. "No! If you call the police, you'll never see Master Cedrick again!"
This threw Catelyn off-guard as she looked at Quinn incredulously. "What do you mean? Make it clear!"
"I... I..." Quinn shivered, tears and panic all over her face, and she kept shaking her head.
Catelyn then grabbed her wrist. "My mother was hit by a car, so what does it have to do with Master Cedrick?"
"I...I saw the face of the driver who caused the accident...and it's Master Cedrick."
For a moment, Catelyn felt as though the ground was falling. Her grip on Quinn's wrist suddenly increased, and her eyes were bloodshot. "You must be kidding, aren't you? why...would Cedrick do that?
"Quinn, I could forgive you for all the things you've done to me, but why are you slandering Cedrick now?!"
Quinn was hurt, and she screamed, "I didn't slander him! I know he's your husband, so you'd of course side with him, but what I saw with my own eyes is that he hit Auntie Stella with his car! If you don't believe me, you can go back and check to see if the car has hit anyone!"
Quinn was dumbfounded at the time, but she was quite sure that she was not mistaken.
The person who hit Stella was Cedrick.
Seeing Catelyn stunned with a flabbergasted expression, Quinn secretly felt proud, and her guilt and grief were gone instantly.
She wanted to see if Catelyn, the loving child of her mother, would still be by Cedrick's side after knowing he was the perpetrator.
Even if they were still together, that accident would remain to be a thorn in her flesh.
What Quinn said afterward was lost on Catelyn.
