Chapter 424 Jared had nothing to do with this, and he shouldnât be dragged into it.
However, Agnes knew that she would become enemies with Alyssa in the future, and the relationship with the Whitfield family would deteriorate. Rather than having their marriage suffer, itâs better to end things amicably now.
However, Agnes couldnât let go as easily as she thought she could.
These past few days, she felt like she was living in a dream.
The pain deep within her was a harsh reminder that she was still alive.
Agnes was mindlessly holding her phone.
Suddenly, her phone started vibrating again.
Agnes checked, it was Laura, Agnes frowned and answered the call.
âAgnes, your dadâs had an accident, he crashed into a guard rail on the highway. Heâs at Hope Hospital, get over here now!â
Agnes froze for a second!
Then, she quickly got up and went to Hope Hospital.
At the emergency room entrance were Laura and Beatrice.
The moment Beatrice saw Agnes, she started blaming her, âAgnes, you bring bad luck. If you hadnât stressed dad out, he wouldnât have been drunk driving. If anything happens to dad, itâs all on you.â
Agnes ignored Beatrice.
She walked/straight up to Laura, âWhat happened? How did dad get into an accident?â
Laura, crying, said, âI donât know, he went out for a meeting today. I have no idea how much he drank. He drove back himself at noon and had a car accident on the highway.â
Upon finishing, Laura started sobbing, âPreston, how could you be so heartless? If something happens to you, weâll be left alone.
And what about Starlight International Groupâs huge debt?â
âDonât cry. Dadâs not dead,â Agnes said coldly.
But Agnes felt her heart trembling.
I 7 She looked at the closed door of the rescue room and the red light indicating that the rescue was in progress.
She felt like she was being strangled, she couldnât breathe.
Years ago, her mother was rushed into the rescue room and never woke up again.
It felt like history was repeating itself.
The smell of disinfectant enveloped her.
She felt like her blood was getting colder.
Agnes stood at the door, while Beatrice continued to blame her.
But Agnes didnât hear a word Beatrice was saying.
All her attention was on that door.
Agnes closed her eyes, clasped her hands and prayed for a not so cruel outcome.
Even though she couldnât forgive Preston, he was still her father.
No matter what, Agnes didnât want anything to happen to him.
Agnes didnât know how long she had been waiting outside the rescue room.
Until the doctors and nurses came out.
Agnes and Laura immediately surrounded them.
âDoctor, howâs my husband?â Laura asked anxiously.
The doctor looked regretful, shook his head, âWe did our best, but the patient has a severe cranial injury. Weâve operated, but heâs not out of the woods yet. Even if he survives, the chances of him waking up are slim.â
Laura sat down on the bench in the corridor in pain.
Beatrice couldnât accept the news, âAre you saying my dadâs gonna be in a coma? Canât you doctors treat him? I donât believe it.
How could my dad be in a coma? Heâs the chairman of Starlight International Group!â
The doctor frowned and replied, âNothingâs certain yet. If he falls into a coma, that could be seen as a relatively good outcome.
With treatment, he might wake up. But right now, since he just had a craniotomy and hasnât passed the critical period, the next three days are crucial. You need to be prepared.â
