Chapter 508
The Woman From Hell
"Heidi, can you follow them and see where they're staying? Thanks a lot for the help."
"Donât worry, Miss Wanda. I'll keep an eye on them for you." Heidi agreed readily.
I thanked her again and again before hanging up the phone.
Although I was eager to go to Salt City to see Jerome, I was too occupied to leave.
The next day, Tyler called me and offered to pick me u p to go and try on gowns. I told him that I
could just drive there myself and he did not insist.
I did not have a good appetite, hence I went out the door without eating breakfast.
Although I did not really like to drive because I had to be extremely focused while driving, causing it
to drain all of my energy, I had no choice but to drive because i t was an important means of travel.
When I passed by a bakery where I regularly visited, I suddenly felt hungry.
After I was done parking my car by the roadside, I went toward the bakery to buy my favorite cake.
My mood was lifted considerably. As I walked out of
the bakery and toward my car, a man rushed up toward me, causing my pupils to contract slightly.
I thought he was a bad guy but he merely ran past me.
However, he accidentally bumped into the cake box I was carrying.
When I returned to my car and opened the box to check, I noticed that the cake had gone out of
shape and thought it was such a shame.
I ate half and had no more appetite to finish the rest, s o I opened my car door and got ready to
throw it in the bin.
"The information you asked for, Mr. Zimmer." A man's voice rang out from behind me.
I turned around to look and saw two men standing in front of a car. When I looked closely at one of
the menâs faces, my eyes abruptly widened.
Matthew Zimmer!
Seeing that he was about to get in the car, I called out t o him anxiously, "Matthew!"
The man glanced at me before getting into the car with a blank expression as though he did not
know m e.
The engine of the car revved up and I chased after it." Wait up, Matthew!"
However, the car did not stop no matter how I screamed and yelled after it. Just as I was about to
give up, the car came to a halt. I was overjoyed when I saw that it was a red light.
I rushed over at full speed but before I could get there, a car crashed into me.
I was thrown to the ground. Disregarding the injuries o n my body, I clambered up and was ready to
continue running toward Matthewâs car.
However, the traffic light turned green again and Matthewâs car drove away.
"Are you okay, Ma'am?" The driver who crashed into m e looked at me nervously.
I looked down and found that my knee was bleeding. I felt pain in my elbow and waist too.
"I'll take you to the hospital, Ma'am," the driver said in an urgent tone.
I nodded.
The man earlier looked just like Matthew, which was why I lost my cool and chased after his car.
Now that I had calmed down and recomposed myself, I felt tremendously sad about it. How could
he be Matthew?
Matthew was dead. He died in front of me.
The driver took me to the hospital and waited for the doctor to dress my wounds before paying for
the medical bills.
He told me that he was on his way to pick up his wife, so he could come back and take care of me
after that. I quickly refused.
"I was the one who crossed the road without checking my surroundings. Itâs not your fault. I'm really
sorry for delaying your time. Iâll pay my own medical bills. I'll transfer the money to you."
"There's no need for that." The driver waved non-stop. "I was the one who crashed into you after all.
It's going to be New Year's soon, so itâs not a good time to get injured. I should be the one to pay for
your medical bills. Why donât you inform your family first? I'll send my wife home first before coming
back to apologize to your family.â
I was just about to refuse when he continued, "I have a family too and can understand how your
family would feel if they see that youâre injured. Therefore, I must apologize to your family, or I won't
be able to live in peace."
He was a truly kind-hearted man.
