Chapter 25 Car Accident âHenry, be careful!â
With a loud âbang, the world fell silent.
Evelyn lay in a pool of crimson blood, her breath growing weaker. The figure not far away became blurry, and Evelyn struggled to open her eyes, only to be engulfed by darkness in the next moment.
In a daze, it seemed like a large net was closing in on her, binding her tightly, making it impossible for her to escape or even breathe freely.
Until a pair of hands gripped her.
She woke up abruptly, her eyes wide open.
White walls, and the scent of disinfectant lingered in the air.
She was in the hospital âAwake?â Alexander stood at the foot of the bed, seeing her awake without a hint of surprise, but rather impatience. âGet up and get out. I donât have the money to let you stay here forever,â he Chapter 25 Car Accident said.
Evelyn stared at him. âWhereâs Henry?â
Her eyes were red, but she stubbornly held back her tears.
âHenry said he doesnât want to see you, and he wonât see you again.â With those words, anger flashed on Alexanderâs face.
If it werenât for that fool Henry who covered in blood, but still holding onto his collar to make sure this womanâs matters were settled, he wouldnât have personally taken care of her.
âWhy didnât he come to tell me himself?â
Even if he couldnât come, where is David? If David was unavailable, there was the other assistant.
Evelyn dared not imagine how serious the situation was for Henry to involve Alexander.
She remembered being shielded by Henry when the car came crashing.
âI want to see him and explain things to him in person.â
Enduring the pain in her body, Evelyn limped out of the ward, wandering through the corridor, searching room by room for Henry.
If he wasnât on this floor, she would go up to the next.
Finally, when climbing to the top floor, she saw a group of familiar figures.
David, Old Mr. Wilson, Old Mrs. Wilson, her motherâinâlaw Ava Miller, and Angela.
D When the letters ICU caught her eye, Evelynâs head exploded with a loud bang, and everything faded to a dull gray.
âWhy is she here?â Henryâs grandpa, Old Mr. Wilson saw her and was so angry that he coughed violently, his frail body uncontrollably swaying.
Old Mrs. Wilson quickly comforted him. âDonât worry; weâll make her leave.â
âDavid, what are you still standing there for? Get her out.â
âYes.â David reluctantly nodded and walked up to Evelyn.
Before he could speak, Evelyn refused him.
Chapter 25 Car Accident âHeâs here, and Iâm not leaving.â
Her voice was calm, her eyes fixed on the ICU door.
Despite her seemingly relaxed demeanor, David felt as if there was a mountain weighing down on Evelyn. This frail body seemed to be holding up against an invisible force, ready to collapse with the slightest breeze.
Old Mr. Wilson continued to glare at her.
Angela seized the opportunity to speak, âEvelyn, Henry lost half his life, itâs all because of you.
I believe the last person he wants to see right now is you.â
But Ava, Henryâs mother, interrupted her.
âHenry isnât dead yet. Can you make decisions for him?â Ava glanced coldly at Angela.
She felt indifferent towards this suddenly emerged daughterâinâlaw, and even more disdain for Angela, who always sought to please Old Mr. and Old Mrs. Wilson.
âAunt, Iâm sorry. I couldnât help but feel indignant for Henry. His leg had just successfully undergone rehabilitation,â Angela said, her eyes were red as she glanced at Old Mrs. Wilson. Old Mrs. Wilson pretended not to see Angelaâs plea.
Evelyn had no strength to argue with Angela now. She approached the ward, gazing at the bed where Henry lay covered in bandages, only his face remaining intact. Her heart felt as if it had been slashed with a knife, every nerve pulsating in pain.
âWhere is he injured?â
âHis leg, andâ¦â Davidâs voice struggled, âhead.â
âThe doctor said that after the impact, a blood clot formed in the bossâs head, putting pressure on the blood vessels and some nerves. If it doesnât disperse, the boss might never wake up.â
âNever!â
Evelyn trembled all over. âIs there any way, any surgery? Can it be done?â
âBrain surgery is too delicate. The hospital director is already contacting the most authoritative expert, but that expert has retired and is currently traveling the world.â
Evelyn thought of Gavin. He must know something.
Chapter 25 Car Accident âWhereâs my phone, David? Where is it?â Evelyn urgently asked.
David shook his head. In the chaos at the scene, he was focused on saving lives and didnât pay attention to anything else.
Evelyn added, âNo phone, then how about a computer?â
âYour phone is with me.â Old Mrs. Wilson, took out a new phone with a cracked screen from her pocket.
She thought it was her grandsonâs and had kept it carefully.
Evelyn was surprised, silently walked up, and whispered, âThank you.â
