Rebirth: Fast Track Love novel Chapter 2

Wendy's face was covered with tears. There was little that she could do at this point. With immense remorse and anger, she looked at her mother who was deeply in pain. Even from her car, Wendy could see that her mother already had blood coming out her mouth.

"No! Mom! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! I will tear all of you apart!" Wendy shouted desperately.

Seeing that Harold was still blocking the way, the driver sneered and stepped on the gas, slamming hard on the side of Harold's car.

"Bang! Boom!" Instinctively, Wendy fumbled for the seat belt before hitting hard on the breaks. Just in the nick of time, she was able to fasten it on. Otherwise, she would have flown headfirst through the windshield.

The crushed car had lit up into flames. But, upon looking closely, Wendy saw the license plate number and thought that looked familiar.

Wendy could not believe what she saw. With her eyes wide open, her heart was racing madly in her chest. She hastily picked up the phone beside her, only to see dozens of missed calls from Harold on the screen.

Wendy called back in a hurry. She wanted to hear Harold’s voice telling her that he was still at the dinner party! 'Please be okay... please be okay...' she prayed over and over in her head.

As she held the phone against her ear, she opened the door and ran out of the car. She had just taken a few steps when an off-road car knocked her off. Her head hit hard on the ground, and the ground was starting to pool with her blood.

Wendy was starting to lose consciousness. With her eyes fluttering, she saw a middle-aged woman walk out of the car that just ran over her. The woman walked over to Wendy, sneering down at her limp body.

Then, Wendy looked over to her badly mutilated mother and the flaming car next to her before finally losing consciousness.

"What happened to her? Is she badly injured?" the head teacher asked the doctor worriedly.

She didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen in her class. A girl, Shelly Wang, even threw a flowerpot from the upstairs at Wendy's head on purpose. If Wendy's parents came to school and made trouble, she would certainly be unable to escape the responsibility for it! At the thought of the Grade Two Student Union President Selection two months later, the head teacher was vexed!

"We've run some tests on her. There was heavy internal bleeding and a significant amount of brain damage. The patient is in a stable condition now, but is unfortunately in a coma. If she does not wake up in three months, there is a possibility that she might never regain consciousness. All I can suggest is to prepare for the worst." The doctor handed the results of the examination to the head teacher.

"Oh, Wendy..." A gentle voice sobbed.

Her familiar voice rang in Wendy's ears. 'Who is that... I think... I know that voice.'

Wendy struggled to open her eyes. It was as if she was in a deep abyss, and couldn't move a single muscle in her body.

"Don't cry, Sara. I've heard that the medical treatment abroad is much better than here. We could take Wendy abroad. Don't worry about the cost," someone said. The voice was coming from a man she couldn't recognize.

'Mom? Is my mother still alive? Abroad? What's happening here? We haven't been abroad for over a decade!'

As she heard her mother weeping, it was as if the car accident was all just a distant nightmare, even though it felt incredibly real.

Struggling in the darkness, Wendy desperately tried to open her eyes. Where was she? What was going on? All of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain in her head. At that moment, the pain and anguish she had felt earlier came flashing through her mind.

"Ah..."

"Wendy, you are awake! Does your head hurt? Doctor! My baby is awake!" Sara called out to the doctor, tears of joy rolling down her eyes.
