Chapter 1983 Ian Is In Trouble

A huge wave of relief washed over Susan when she heard that. After waiting for some time in the office, she finally received a call from Ian. “Darling?” she said.

“Hey. Everything’s settled. Pack your things and meet me downstairs in fifteen minutes.” A refreshing yet alluring voice, which was pleasing to the ears, came through the speakers.

Susan was overjoyed when she heard his words. It’s finally done! She hurriedly packed her things in the office and went downstairs with her handbag. Never in her life had she ever acted so quickly.

At the same time, she had already planned out the celebration in her mind. I’m going to the supermarket with him to buy loads of ingredients. Then, we’re going to have a great feast at the new villa.

That evening, however, she waited downstairs for almost an hour, but the man who promised to pick her up never showed up. “The number you have dialed is unavailable.”

“The number you have dialed is unavailable.” Susan’s heart sank deeper and deeper as she listened to the mechanical dial tone. The foreboding feeling slowly engulfed her until she lost all hope.

Five minutes later, just as she had called for a taxi to rush over to the government headquarters, she received a call. “Hello, are you Mr. Ian Hayes’ family member?”

“Who are you?” “I’m from the transportation bureau. Mr. Hayes has gotten into an accident and has been sent to the hospital for surgery. If you’re a family member or a friend of his, please come to the hospital right away.” The person on the phone sounded urgent as he informed her about the news.

Susan was stunned to hear that. All of a sudden, her mind went blank, and her brain lost its ability to think. All that remained was a feeling of hopelessness, and she could only see darkness before her.

On top of that, she felt a shiver run down her spine as fear filled her heart. That’s… That’s impossible! Soon, she arrived at the hospital without knowing how she got there.

All she remembered was seeing the bright red light outside the operating theater and a body covered with a piece of white cloth on the side. In the end, her body swayed, and she fell head-first to the ground.

“Ms. Limmer!” Right then, Aubrey, who had just arrived, quickly held Susan up when she witnessed that. No one expected such a thing to happen.

After all, Aubrey was just comforting Susan not long ago, telling the latter not to worry. Yet, shortly after Ian and Melvin went out, one got severely injured while the other died.

Wiping away her tears, Aubrey helped an overwhelmed Susan to the bed to lie down and quickly asked the two traffic officers, “Hello, officers. What exactly happened? How did they get into an accident?”

“They got hit by a truck. The driver’s been detained, and we’re examining the vehicle now. Don’t worry. We’ll let you know the result once we have it,” the traffic officer updated her on the current situation.

After listening to all that, Aubrey was at a loss for what to do. Hence, she could only return to the ward.

About half an hour later, Susan, who was lying on a hospital bed, regained consciousness. As she lay there, her pupils suddenly constricted, and she sat bolt upright.
