Chapter 232
The Contract Marriage
âNow that I think about it, I fainted in the living room. Luckily, I woke up later and ran to the entrance of the neighborhood in a panic. But that was during the peak hours of work, and a taxi couldnât be taken.
At that time, I thought of David, so I took out my phone and called him. When he heard that Sarah had a car accident, he immediately rushed over. He took me directly to the hospital.â
âWhen we rushed to the hospital, Sarah had already been sent to the resuscitation room. Originally, I was thinking. . . Was it the traffic police who made a mistake? Sarah always drove steadily. How could there be a car accident? But when the traffic police handed Sarahâs bag and phone to David, I completely believed that the person in the resuscitation room was our Sarah. . .â
When she thought of what happened that day, Samantha could not help but cry as she spoke.
Looking at Samanthaâs uncomfortable expression, Christian took out a tissue and handed it to her.
Then he slowly asked, âMom, can you tell me where this car accident happened?â
What he wanted to know the most right now was the entire process of the car accident.
Samantha calmed her emotions and turned to look at Christian and asked, âYou know about the Wilson Group where Sarah works, right?â
âYes. I know.â
âSarahâs accident happened at the intersection closest to the Wilson Group.â
âCrossroads? Did they catch the culprit?â
âI heard from the traffic policeman that he was detained on the spot. He said that he drank too much and thatâs why there was an accident. . .â
Christian frowned slightly when he heard what his mother-in-law said. He sat on the chair and thought silently for a while. Then he stood up. âMom, who was the one who took care of the traffic police?â
âIt seems to be Julian. Later, I heard David say that Jasmine had been there too. I am not too sure about the specific situation. . .â
Christian nodded his head. âMom, you stay here with Sarah. I will go to the traffic police to understand the situation first.â
Samantha also understood that this was something that her son-in-law must do, so she nodded. âWhen you go, talk to them properly. Donât get angry, understand?â
âYes, Mom, donât worry. Iâll be leaving first. If Sarah has anything to do, call me.â
âGot it. Go.â
Christian nodded, turned around, and left quickly. As soon as he came out of the clinic, he quickly took out his phone and dialed Davidâs number. âDavid, where are you?â
He was familiar with David, so Christian kept Davidâs number.
âI just returned to the hotel. Whatâs wrong?â
âI just left the hospital and will be going to the traffic police station soon. Tell me how Sarahâs car accident happened.â Christian looked at a taxi in front of the clinic hall and waved his hand. He opened the door and quickly got in.
âSarah got into a car accident at the crossroad. After the green light was turned on, she was the first car that drove normally. When she was about to drive past the crossroad, she was knocked out by the first car that turned right. The other party was drunk, so he was completely responsible.â
âDrunk driving? Wasnât it in the morning when the car in puzzlement, feeling that this matter was somewhat incomprehensible.
âYes. This person said that he usually liked to drink. He would often empty his stomach and drink wine early in the morning. But whether or not it is true or not, I donât know. Jasmine knows this matter more clearly than I do. She even got a lawyer to go to the traffic police station and retrieved the recording information. You can go and ask her.â
âOkay. Then send me her phone number.â
âOkay, okay. Iâll send it to you later.â
âIâll go to the traffic police station, Iâll hang up first.â
âAlright, call me if you need anything.â
âGoodbye.â
âGoodbye.â
Christian hung up the line and got a taxi to take him to the traffic police station. He found the traffic policeman who handled the accident and asked him about the specific details of the accident.
After getting the information from the other party, Christian left the traffic police team.
He walked along the sidewalk for a while. He first his comrade, the current Director of the City Sâs Public Security Bureau.
âIs Director White busy now?â Christian looked at the distant sky and joked with his comrade.
âOh, isnât this Military Commander Cooper? You say you the commander of military are not busy, so me, Christian, what is it?â Although the two of them didnât meet often, their relationship had never changed.
âI really have something to talk to you about.â
âI want you to help me investigate a person.â
âAlright, send me his information later. What do you want to investigate?â
âWarren, itâs like this, two days ago my wife had an accident. . .â
âAn accident? How is she? Hurry up and tell me which hospital she is at. Iâll go and take a look right now.â Before Christian could finish, Warren interrupted him.
âNo need. No need. Sheâs out of danger now. I only came back because of my wife. To tell you the truth, I saw the recording at the traffic police station. This person was drunk driving, but the accident happened in the morning. So I want you to help me investigate this personâs detailed information and the details of his activities in the past few days. The more detailed the better.â
His comrade was the Director of the Public Bureau, âOkay. I understand. Send me the message. Iâll send someone to investigate immediately.â
âThank you.â
âSlap me in the face, right? With our relationship, you still say thank you?â
âHaha. Good. Then I wonât be polite with you. Goodbye.â
âGoodbye.â
Christian hung up and sent Felixâs name, home address, and ID number his comrades again to confirm and then put away the phone without worry.
He stood by the roadside and thought for a while in silence. He took out his phone father. He came back from thousands of miles away. He had to tell his father no matter what.
âChristian?â Seeing that the number was from his son, Ethan was surprised again. However, it made sense when he thought about it.
That day, after Christian asked about Sarahâs condition over the phone, he did It seemed that he wanted to know more about his daughter-in-law.
âDad, Iâm back.â
âYouâre back? Youâre not in the army?â
âI just arrived today. I have already gone to the hospital to see Sarah.â
âReally? It is great that you come back. Sigh, Sarah is really lucky this time. Plus, the carâs performance is good. Thatâs why the mother and child managed to escape this disaster. But Sarah has been unconscious since the surgery and has not woken up yet. . . Sigh. . .â
Ethan sighed heavily as he spoke. When he thought of the car accident that happened to his daughter-
in-law this time, Ethan could not help but feel a lingering fear in his heart.
âDad, I went to see Sarah. She has just woken up. But then she fell asleep again. You donât have to worry about her anymore.â
Ethanâs face lit up. âReally? Sarah woke up? Thatâs great.â
âYou have been worrying these two days too. . .â
âCough, what are you saying? Sarah is not only my daughter-in-law in my heart, but also my daughter.
Do you understand?â
âYes, Dad, I understand.â He understood his fatherâs thoughts.
âSince you finally came back, you should spend more time with Sarah in the hospital. When I go back to the villa tonight, I will tell the family. You donât need to go back.â
âThank you, Dad.â
âWhat else do you want to say thank you to Dad? If you want to say thank you, it should be to your mother-in-law. She has been by Sarahâs side for the past two days. No one was by her side. Ever since your Uncle Wilson passed away, I know Sarah is the spiritual pillar of your mother-in-law. I originally wanted to find a senior nurse. But no matter what, she was unwilling to let others touch Sarah. She was also unwilling to leave Sarah for a moment. She stayed by Sarahâs side. These two days, she must have been exhausted too. You let her go back and rest for a while. She is also old. Donât tire her out.â
Ethan also went to the hospital to see his daughter-in-law every day these two days. Originally, he spent money to find a senior nurse. However, Samantha did not allow anyone to touch her daughter.
No matter how hard Ethan tried, she did not listen to it. She still insisted on staying by her daughterâs side. No one could persuade her.
âDad, I know. I just came out of the traffic police station and learned about Sarahâs car accident. Now I will go back to the hospital first. You can continue with your work.â
Christian walked to the side of the road and stopped a taxi. He quickly went back to the hospital.
Before he went to his wifeâs ward, he went to the office of the doctor in charge of the surgery for his wife. When he walked in, the doctor was not very busy.
When the doctor heard Christian mention that he was Sarahâs husband, he immediately asked him to sit down.
âThat means you are the eldest son of the chairman of Cooper Group, right?â Sarahâs doctor in charge looked at Christian and asked.
âYes, my father is Ethan Cooper.â Christian nodded and went straight to the point.
âNot long after Sarah was sent to the resuscitation room, we received a call from the hospital director saying that we must do our best to save her. Look, your wife is safe now. But your wifeâs condition at that time was very dangerous because she was not only had a car accident but she was also pregnant and almost caused a hemorrhage. Under normal circumstances, the child would definitely not be able to be saved.â
âHowever, during the process of your wifeâs operation, her desire to protect the child was very strong.
From the moment she entered the operating theater, she kept calling out to save the child. We were completely moved by her calling for help even though she couldnât open our eyes. No matter what, we have to ensure the safety of both mother and child.â
âThank you. Thank you so much.â
âYour wife is out of danger now, so you donât have to worry too much. Her most important task now is to rest. She bled too much during the surgery. However, the most serious part of her injury is her head. It is accompanied by a concussion. The other parts of her body were all scratched, and there were more than ten stitches on her leg. Then there were some slight fractures on her arm, but they could all be recovered in the later stages. These are the details.â
