Erine was shocked as well. When she pushed Everleigh to the side, she almost got run over by the car. Fortunately, she had fast reflexes.
However, she did not notice the people behind them.
They could only watch the tragedy happen.
The driver poked his head out of the window, cursed, and drove away.
Everleigh's face was pale as she was so close to getting herself killed.
"Mom..." A woman's voice came. Everleigh and Erine both came to their senses and hurried over to the person who was injured. At first glance, there were five people in total. One of them was in severe condition and had died on the spot. The other two had lost consciousness.
The accident soon attracted much attention.
The news was also posted on the Internet. Theodore saw that Everleigh was at the scene, and she was even lying on the side. He was worried that she had been injured, so he quickly went over to take a look.
He wasn't the only one who saw it. Many people had seen it, even Saniogo. He was so worried that he quickly made a call to Everleigh.
However, she did not pick up the call. She was busy treating her own injuries. After getting news of the accident, Christopher rushed out of his department. His first instinct was to look for Erine. "How are you? Are you alright?"
"I'm alright. It's just a scratch," she replied while holding up her hand for him to see.
Everleigh sat aside and looked at Christopher's behavior. She wanted to laugh. Previously, he would always approach her first when something happened, but now, he went straight for Erine. This only meant that he was catching feelings. He was caring about someone other than her.
"I'm here too. Why didn't you ask about me? I've also escaped death," she kindly reminded him.
He turned to look at her. "Don't you know that Theodore is coming?"
She looked surprised and said, "I didn't know he was coming." Then she took out her phone and saw the black screen. It was turned off.
Her phone must have been broken when she was pushed to the ground.
Theodore hurriedly ran over and asked the nurse where Everleigh was.
"Everleigh, are you alright?" He hurried over and grabbed hold of her hand. He was very worried as he spoke.
"I'm fine. There are just some bruises. Why are you here?" She asked while gesticulating.
Erine and Christopher looked at each other and walked out tacitly. They didn't want to be in the same room as the couple.
Theodore didn't care about whether they were around. He walked over and looked at the scars on her hands. His eyes were filled with anger as he asked coldly, "What's going on?"
"I don't know what's going on either. I was going to find you, then..." She stopped halfway; she had seemingly thought of something.
He understood what was going on when he saw her expression.
"Wilson came to me today and said a lot of strange things, but I think he wants you to have mercy on him," she said in a low voice.
The anger in his heart was instantly ignited when he heard these words. It was Wilson again. He was everywhere these days.
"You don't have to worry about Wilson. I'll take care of it."
She didn't say anything. It was a good thing she was safe.
Theodore's phone rang. It was from Alexander. He thought for a moment before picking it up.
"Hello."
"Are you with Everleigh? I called her but it didn't get through."
Theodore knew what he meant. Alexander was testing him to see whether he would be with Everleigh at a time like this. Had their relationship been fake in his eyes?
"She's fine. It's just a minor injury. Her phone's off."
Alexander sighed lightly on the other side of the phone. He seemed to be relieved, hearing that Everleigh was fine.
"I'm coming over to see her right now."
"There's no need for that. She's asking for leave now. I'm going to bring her home," Theodore rejected him.
It would be best for them to discuss this matter on their own at this moment.
Everleigh didn't think it was a big deal, so he didn't have to come to see her.
She was just shocked from the accident, so she wanted to go back and have a rest.
After she spoke to Christopher, he understood. "I see. Have a good rest and find out what's going on. I've seen the surveillance video and found that the car was coming for you."
His words made both of them silent. In fact, both of them knew what was going on.
Wilson did this on purpose.
He hoped that something bad would happen to Everleigh. In that case, Theodore would be dedicated to taking care of her, and he wouldn't care about his business anymore.
Christopher was suspicious when he saw their expressions. "You know who did this, don't you?"
She took a deep breath and nodded, but she didn't say anything.
"Since you know it, why don't you call the police? I heard that this matter has caused a big fuss. After all, it happened at the gate of the city hospital, and it has gotten the attention of the public."
"Wilson dared to do so because he was prepared for this. Sometimes, it's true that great things can be achieved by being cruel and merciless, leaving no evidence behind, just like now. He could have succeeded just now," she guessed.
They didn't find any evidence last time.
It was the same now.
If they had found it earlier, he would have been given a death sentence by now.
Everleigh's words made Theodore feel guilty. It was all his fault that he didn't protect her well.
When Christopher saw the emotion in his eyes, he sighed softly. "You can go back and talk about it. Don't worry."
"Sorry to trouble you." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"Forget it. I'm already used to doing this kind of thing," Christopher said helplessly. He was used to doing this.
Everleigh and Theodore left.
In the car, she leaned against the seat and soon fell asleep.
He sent her back to the Trevino family home. Leon and Selena were home. They wanted to go see her, but before they could head out, they saw her come back.
"Everleigh, what's going on? Why was there a car accident at the entrance of the hospital?"
"I heard that the brake was malfunctioning. I was slightly injured, but I'm fine." She was afraid that they would be worried about her, so she took out her hand and showed them her wounds.
Selena let out a sigh of relief when she saw this. "Call Dad quickly. He's been worried about you."
"I know. I'll call him now," Everleigh said as she walked to the sofa, picked up the landline, and called her father.
Leon saw Theodore standing from afar. He walked over and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
If it was really like what Everleigh said, he would not show an expression of great pain and hatred. The only explanation was that he knew who it was, but there was no way to solve this problem.
He didn't answer his question. Instead, he listened to Everleigh's call with her father.
The more relaxed she pretended to be, the more he knew how afraid she had been.
