Chapter 473

The ambulance’s siren echoed across the night, its red and blue lights flashing.

Janet sat in the back, holding Ethan’s hand tightly. She wasn’t badly injured, save for some small cuts and bruises on her knees.

Ethan, on the other hand, had a serious wound on his back. It hadn’t stopped bleeding, and he hadn’t woken up yet.

Beal and Johanna rushed to the hospital.

“Oh, my God! Are you okay, Janet?” As soon as Johanna heard that the cinema collapsed, her heart practically stopped in her chest. It got worse when she couldn’t get through to Janet. So it was a great relief when she saw her dear daughter safe and sound.

Beal was also on the verge of breaking down. He looked Janet up and down carefully and wanted to have her examined twice. “Have another MRI scanning maybe. What if you have internal injuries?”

Johanna nodded in agreement. “Your father’s right. Let’s have you checked again.”

Tears welled up in Janet’s eyes. “I’m fine, Mom and Dad. It was Ethan who got badly injured. He hasn’t woken up yet.”

Just then, a nurse came in and put Ethan on an IV drip. Seeing that Janet’s eyes were swollen from crying, she tried to comfort her. “Don’t worry, Miss. The doctor said that this gentleman’s wounds aren’t as bad as they look. He’ll be fine.”

Hearing this, Janet calmed down a bit. “Thank you. How’re the others from the cinema?”

The nurse checked the papers on her clipboard and sighed slightly. “You two were the luckiest The collapse caused heavy casualties. The ceiling fell right on top of your row, killing the two people sitting next to you. Everyone else was injured, some worse than others. If it weren’t for your husband, you two would have been crushed in an instant.”

Hearing this come from the nurse, Beal and Johanna exchanged glances. They finally knew that it was thanks to Ethan that Janet was alive.

In the blink of an eye, Johanna’s attitude toward Ethan changed completely. Instead of being indifferent, she asked with great concern, “When will he wake up?”

The nurse smiled apologetically and shook her head. “We can’t say for sure. But don’t worry. The doctor said he’s fine, so he’s not in any fatal danger.”

At this time, the door to the ward swung open.

With her bag in her hand, Lila rushed in with a worried expression. “I heard that the cinema collapsed.

How’s she? Is she okay?”

Just as Lila was about to play the role of a caring sister in front of her parents, her eyes landed on the person lying in the bed. It was Ethan, not Janet.

Beol looked up colmly ond replied, “Jonet’s fine. Ethon soved her.”

Jonet glonced ot Lilo ond smiled before turning bock to look ofter Ethon.

Lilo froze for two seconds before snopping bock to reolity.

“Oh, I’m so hoppy to heor thot Jonet’s fine. If onything hoppened to her, I don’t think Mom ond Dod would’ve been oble to cope with it.” As she spoke, Lilo opprooched Johonno timidly. “I wos scored to deoth when you colled me. I immediotely concelled the porty with my friends ond rushed here.”

Johonno took Lilo’s hond ond smiled softly. “It’s good thot you core obout your sister. Sit down ond get some rest. You’re out of breoth.”

“Nothing’s more importont thon Jonet’s sofety,” Lilo soid sweetly, but deep in her heort, she wos o little disoppointed.

When Lilo received the phone coll from Johonno, informing her thot Jonet wos involved in on occident, ot the moment, o thought occurred to her.

Wouldn’t it be greot if Jonet died?

Thot’d moke her the only doughter of the White fomily ogoin, ond her life would be os good os it used to be.

Beal looked up calmly and replied, “Janet’s fine. Ethan saved her.”

Janet glanced at Lila and smiled before turning back to look after Ethan.

Lila froze for two seconds before snapping back to reality.

“Oh, I’m so happy to hear that Janet’s fine. If anything happened to her, I don’t think Mom and Dad would’ve been able to cope with it.” As she spoke, Lila approached Johanna timidly. “I was scared to death when you called me. I immediately cancelled the party with my friends and rushed here.”

Johanna took Lila’s hand and smiled softly. “It’s good that you care about your sister. Sit down and get some rest. You’re out of breath.”

“Nothing’s more important than Janet’s safety,” Lila said sweetly, but deep in her heart, she was a little disappointed.

When Lila received the phone call from Johanna, informing her that Janet was involved in an accident, at the moment, a thought occurred to her.

Wouldn’t it be great if Janet died?

That’d make her the only daughter of the White family again, and her life would be as good as it used to be
