Chapter 923 Why Didn’t You Tell Us Earlier?

Minerva’s face was the color of a tomato—she couldn’t utter a single word. After chatting with Matthew for a while, Dr. York excused himself and left the hospital. Everyone else kept quiet while Jonah, Chloe, and Minerva stood around, their cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

In the end, it was Helen who cleared her throat and spoke first. “Well, it doesn’t matter who called the doctor over, right? What matters most is that Tate is fine. It’s the best outcome we could’ve hoped for!”

Minerva hastily played along. “Yeah, yeah. It’s great that Tate is safe! Mom, Dad, let’s go visit Tate!”

The three of them were about to escape the site when Demi stood in their way. “Why are you guys in such a rush to leave? We’re not done talking yet! Matthew was the one who got Dr. York to come over.

I think you guys owe us an apology for scolding us earlier, right?” she uttered in a harsh tone. Demi was a rather mean person, and she didn’t bother concealing it. Recently, the Campbells had been causing too much trouble in her family—they’d gotten on her nerves since a while ago. I’m not going to let go of this opportunity to get back at them! she thought.

Minerva’s face was beet red as she tensed her neck muscles before speaking. “H-How should I know that Matthew was the one who contacted Dr. York? He said that he would contact Mr. Harrison earlier; he didn’t say anything about Dr. York!”

Helen nodded in agreement. “Why did you do that, Matthew? Why didn’t you tell us that you contacted Dr. York?”

“Did you guys give him a chance to speak earlier, Mom?” Sasha pursed her lips disdainfully. “He said ‘but’ earlier, yet you guys only continued with your long speeches about men and their excuses. He didn’t get a chance to speak at all—you and Minerva were the only ones talking. I’m sure he wanted to clarify himself, but he just didn’t get a chance to do so!”

Sasha’s words left Helen tongue-tied. She realized that what Sasha said was true—Matthew didn’t get a chance to speak in the situation earlier. “Oh, forget it. What matters now is that Tate is safe. Alright.

You guys should pay Tate a visit, Chloe.” Helen waved an arm and gestured for the Campbells to leave.

Minerva hurried off. She had never been in a situation as embarrassing as this, and she didn’t feel like she was able to stay in the crowd for much longer. Meanwhile, Demi still wore a forbidding look on her face. “You can continue spoiling your niece and nephew, Mom! I’d like to see how you’re going to compensate for all the losses these people suffered.”

All of a sudden, Helen’s expression turned grim. There were a few groups of people who were gathered around the hospital area—all of them were family members of the few victims who had passed away. They were discussing who they wanted to approach for compensation fees. It was obvious that most of the people’s gazes were on the Cunninghams—they were the richer ones, after all.

Sasha couldn’t help but question the situation. “What’s going on? Why are we paying for anything when it’s the Campbells who are involved in this accident? Also, what’s up with the bike? Explain yourself, Mom!”

However, Helen only stuttered without giving any proper reply. Both Liam and Demi kept their mouths sealed without responding to Sasha’s question. Eventually, Sasha lost her temper as she saw the crowd gathering outside. “Let’s go, Matthew!” She got to her feet. “Since they aren’t telling us anything, then they can deal with their own matters! This issue has got nothing to do with us!”

Helen only began to panic then. “D-Don’t go, Sasha… You need to help us resolve this problem!”

“I don’t know what the problem is! How am I supposed to solve anything for you? What are you trying to say here? Are you asking me to fork out my money for all those people out there? I asked around earlier, Mom. I heard that three lives were lost in this accident. This isn’t just about the money anymore.

Do you know how huge of a matter this is? Furthermore, Tate already has previous records of unlicensed driving. How do you think things are going to turn out now that he has gotten himself into such a mess?” Sasha howled.

Helen was startled by Sasha’s sudden outburst. “Then… Will Tate end up going to prison, Sasha?”

“It’s not about him going to prison now; it’s about how many years he’s going to spend in prison!” Sasha cried. “Judging by how serious the accident was, I’m guessing that he’ll have to be in prison for at least 20 years!”

Helen collapsed onto the ground immediately. She looked like she was about to faint.
