Chapter 730
Ricky was lying on the road and bleeding profusely from his forehead.
The driver stood nearby, repeating in panic, ’I didn't run into him, I didn't... He hit my car..."
’Just help me already!" Irene snapped-she could not move Ricky by herself.
Moreover, he was at risk after having recently undergone a heart transplant, leaving his body weaker than most. She must get Ricky checked, and had no time for the blame game.
The driver quickly went up and carried Ricky to Irene's car, but although the chauffeur floored the gas pedal, it was not until half an hour later that they reached a hospital.
Although Irene did not work there, she had a medical license and was given permission to stay while a doctor examined Ricky.
Fortunately, he was fine-just unconscious from a concussion.
They cleaned the cut on his head and kept him for observation, and he would be allowed to leave if he did not feel unwell over the next 24 hours.
As Irene stepped outside, she saw that the driver had come as well. He was worried about getting into trouble, but he came regardless and was worriedly pacing around the walkway uneasily.
’You can go now," Irene told him.
He began, "I've called my insurance company-"
’It's fine. We won't pursue further responsibility, so you can go now!"
Irene did not want trouble either, and Ricky was fine anyway.
'Oh... So, I'll be going now?’ the driver asked tentatively.
He appeared surprised that she was so agreeable, and he was actually a little skeptical.
’Yeah," Irene replied, and he finally left.
Since there was no one around, Irene told his chauffeur to stay. "Wait here until Ricky wakes up. Then you can go."
'Yes, ma'am," the chauffeur replied, and Irene left, taking a taxi home.
Dinner was over by then, and she washed her hands before checking on the children.
Tommy really loved his baby brother and treated him like a toy, and would always be staring at the baby or pinching his little face.
