"Don't worry, he's in the intensive care unit. He's already being treated."
Upon hearing the words ICU, Charlotte turned pale on face. "What did you say? Intensive care unit? He......"
"He got serious injuries, so he had to be treated timely."
Charlotte recalled that when the car broke the glass, it splashed to Manfred. Thinking of this, Charlotte was scared.
"Is he all right? Is there any danger to life? May I go and see him?" With that, Charlotte suddenly sat up from the bed, lifted the quilt and was to get off the bed.
The nurse stopped her. "Are you all right? You can’t get out of bed, lie down for observation. You are pregnant and you have been fainted for a long time. it is dangerous."
Charlotte shook her head. "I'm all right."
The nurse tried to persuade her, but Charlotte was already firmly on the floor. She was still wearing the dress and her hair was messy. She had glass cut on her arm and face, but it didn't look serious. The corner of her mouth was hurt, leaving a bloody gash.
"Let me take care of the wound."
The nurse tried to deal with her, but Charlotte insisted, "I'm really fine. Can I go and see how he's doing?"
After all, they came out together, and he was so badly hurt. If he hadn't let her get down in time, she would have hurt badly.
The doctor took a look at her and said to the nurse, “Take her to see him."
"All right, come with me."
The nurse had to take Charlotte out of the room, and then turned left. Charlotte was walking quietly behind her. She suddenly thought of something, “By the way, where was my bag when I was hurt? Where's the stuff?"
"The scene has been controlled by the police, the police should have it. Don't worry, you can go to the police station to pick it up."
Hearing that, Charlotte felt at ease and nodded.
"Thank you."
Soon they arrived at Manfred’s ward. Through the window Charlotte saw Manfred lying in the hospital bed. Because he was seriously injured, he was lying there with a lot of blood.
Charlotte was flabbergasted and got fast heartbeat.
"Don't look at it, he is dealing with wounds. You are pregnant, don’t see blood." The nurse probably felt the shortness of her breath, she walked up to her to block her line of sight, and then explained, “He should be all right. When we arrived, he was awake and asked us to check on you. Is he your boyfriend? He was badly hurt but he held on and got fainted until the doctor said you are all right."
Hearing that, Charlotte was shocked. Her lip moved feebly, but she could not say a word.
What did she do...
Charlotte regretted it. It she was not in a hurry, Manfred might not have driven so fast. There was still time, but why did she always feel that time was not enough. They would arrive soon, but she asked him if they would arrive soon.
She must have distracted Manfred. If he had not been distracted, he would have been able to see the truck in advance. If he had seen it in advance, it would not have caused this tragedy.
"He, he......"
