Chap 10: Accident

Lily sat in the car and stared at the bustling city through the window. In her heart rose loneliness and emptiness. New York is so big, there are so many people, but she can't find her own place. It turns out that loneliness when you are in the midst of thousands of people, but you are lost and do not feel happy. She remembers the days when she lived in China, despite being poor, every day was filled with joy and laughter. It's been a few years since her escape, I don't know how her relatives in China are living now.

"Miss, I would like to get out of the car to buy some things!"- The driver bowed to Lily, she just noticed him at this moment, this doesn't seem to be her driver... But she I didn't think much of it, just thought it was a very normal thing. Lily nodded at him and then lowered her head and dialed the phone.

After the driver got out of the car, he quickly went inside the convenience store, Lily waited for him for nearly 10 minutes but still did not see him come out. She frowned and was about to open the door of the car to get out, when suddenly a car rushed towards her car from afar. Lily panicked, her mind blank, her whole body stiff and unable to move. Lily stared blankly at the other car that used dizzying speed to crash straight into her car. Before losing consciousness, Lily only felt that her body was affected by a very strong force, her body then crashed into the car window and then flew out.

Venn stood in front of his parents, he silently listened to the reproach from Mrs. Edward, from childhood to adulthood he was a person with his own opinion, normally Mr. and Mrs. Edward did not manage him too much. But the only thing about this marriage is that they can't let him decide for himself, even if he doesn't want to, he has to marry Lily. Otherwise, Grandpa Edward's huge fortune would fall into the hands of someone else.

"You may not like Lily, but you can't do something in front of everyone that makes both families lose face! I know you care about Julia, and I don't forbid you to go out with her either. But Lily is your future wife, you can't behave like that!"- Regarding her son's peach blossom, Mrs. Edward also felt that it was understandable, moreover, she also felt that Venn had absolutely the right to do it. What made her unhappy was that he was in front of so many guests to humiliate the Taylor family, if they were angry and told old Edward, it would be a big problem.

"It's just a little thing! I don't have a relationship with Julia either, as for marriage... don't worry, I won't mess things up!"

Hearing Venn say that, the two Edward and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Venn did not object to this marriage otherwise they would hardly be able to force him. But it's also strange to say, Venn is someone who doesn't like to follow other people's arrangements, yet easily agrees to this marriage without an opinion. Although his attitude is not very serious.

"If that's the case, then next time don't be so arbitrary! If this comes to your grandfather's ears, he will definitely be angry!"- Mayor Edward frowned, his son has been independent since childhood. While everyone wanted him to pursue a career in politics, he started his own business. Fortunately, Venn is a smart and brave person, and now has a bit of a reputation in the city.

"Your grandfather's side will take care of it, you can rest assured! It won't affect you!"

Mrs. Edward heard her son say this and was about to refute when Venn's phone rang. Venn took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the screen displaying the caller's name, he uneasily frowned, then quickly answered the phone.

Mr and Mrs. Edward watched Venn's face turn pale but also panicked, their son normally doesn't show his emotions on his face, but now he is like this, making the two of them not know what to do.

"Ven.. what's wrong?"

Venn didn't answer them, but just hurriedly hung up the phone and then ran out the door.

In front of the hospital's emergency room, Taylor's family sat outside waiting anxiously. Mrs. Taylor leaned on her son, they were at a party, when they heard the news that her daughter had an accident, this news made her almost faint. When they arrived, Lily was taken to the emergency room, heard the nurse say her injury was very serious, her condition was critical, it could be overcome or not, it was still up to luck.

As soon as Venn stepped foot into the hospital corridor, he felt the atmosphere of mourning enveloping him. He looked at the collapsed Taylor family sitting in the distance with the red emergency light on, his heart was extremely heavy. Such a sudden accident was something that no one could have expected. The person he sent to investigate sent a report, the person causing the accident died on the spot, and the surrounding cameras were all damaged. Everything seems to have been arranged without leaving a trace.

"What are you doing here?"- Mrs. Taylor, seeing him, immediately shouted angrily, her eyes were full of anger and hatred, Venn was the reason why Lily became like this, how could she be like this? can you calm down here?

"I'm worried about Lily so..."

"Isn't it your fault? If it wasn't for you making her angry, why would she go home alone. If she didn't go home alone, how could she have an accident?"- Mrs. Taylor said. just cried, whatever the reason, Lily's accident has made her extremely broken.

"I'm sorry..." - Venn bowed his head sincerely, he did not expect that just because of his small action, it would lead to such heavy consequences. This mistake he also cannot forgive himself.

"You go back! As for the marriage between the two families, I think we should discuss it again!"- Elmer just finished his words, making the rest startled. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor didn't think that their son would make such a decision of his own accord, even though everything is from Venn, it can't be canceled because of that, Mrs. Taylor pulled his sleeve to remind him but this time Elmer I can't stand it anymore, what happened to my sister is all because of this marriage.

"This is not something you can decide!"- Venn said coldly, this was his fault but Elmer couldn't because of that, Elmer said whatever he wanted to say.

"Uncle, aunt, please let me stay here, I will take responsibility for my actions. I sent the best doctor to come, Lily will definitely be fine! Wait for Lily to wake up. Can we talk again, okay?"

Hearing Venn's request like that, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor didn't make it difficult for him anymore, everyone silently waited for the results from the emergency room.
