Thaddeus ran outside from the crowd, but he didn't dare look at what was within the perimeter. If Jessamine were the one in that accident, he wouldn't know what to do. He kept calling Jessamine, but he never got a response.The crowd in front was talking amongst each other. "It's so terrible! She's bleeding a lot. There's no telling if she can survive. Look at the pool of blood on the ground. It has dyed the road red. She must have lost a few gallons of blood from that accident!" a passerby said.An eyewitness to the accident commented, "This lady is truly unlucky. She was walking on the sidewalk, but that careless driver just drove straight at her and endangered her life. It must be another drunk driver! He really screwed her over!""Oh, I can't even watch. I heard her head had taken a huge blow. She was even pregnant and tried to protect her baby before she died. How could the gods let this happen?" questioned another.…Thaddeus felt his legs had turned into jelly when he heard
Xander stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in a grand office building in Hajera. His eyes burned with anger. He had only left Zenville for a few days, yet something like this had happened. He now regretted not bringing Jessamine back to the family. He had no idea how he was going to explain this accident to his grandmother back home."I hired you people to protect Ms. Patton, and this is what you do? I can't believe this happened when I've only been away for a few days! You better be begging for mercy after you settle things for Ms. Patton! I'm not paying for useless pieces of trash like you!"Xander was currently on a call with Charlie Collins, his assistant who had worked with him for seven years. If looks could kill, Charlie would've been dead by now. Since he messed up such an important job Xander had given him, he was on thin ice.He was too scared to say anything. He even had to muster a lifetime's worth of courage to tell Xander about Jessamine's car accident.
Joe instinctively lowered his hands to his sides and clenched his fists. Feeling nervous, he lied, "Not yet, Mr. Thomas. Madam Jessamine will be fine, so don't worry. "She must have accidentally broken her phone. She'll call you after she gets a new one. You should eat something, Mr. Thomas. You haven't even had dinner yet. You can't starve yourself in your condition."The people Joe had sent had already found out about the horrific car accident in the afternoon. He was sure that the accident had happened near the courthouse. Jessamine got into a car accident as soon as she and Thaddeus got divorced. What was even worse was that Thaddeus even married that crazy bitch Amy right after.Jessamine didn't have any relatives with her when the accident happened. The kind-hearted passersby were the ones who had called the ambulance. At that point, she had been lying in a pool of blood. Joe didn't even have the guts to look at the photos his subordinate had sent him. It was bone-chillin
Jordan parked in the Healthstone Hospital's parking lot. He had accelerated the car so much that the wheels were almost smoking.Jordan got out of the car and opened the door for Thaddeus. The latter had been silent the entire journey, his eyes fixed on his blood-stained hands. Jordan had tried to wipe it clean but to no avail."Mr. Holt, we've arrived at the hospital," he said. "I found out that the ambulance had brought Mrs. Holt here. Let's get out of the car."Thaddeus immediately returned to his senses. He looked up at his assistant and asked slowly, "Mr. Rhodes, how much blood do you think someone needs to lose before they die?"Jordan's heart dropped, and he quickly comforted him, "Please don't say that, Mr. Holt. If Mrs. Holt were dead, the people wouldn't have brought her here. She must be waiting for you in the ward. Let's go inside and have a look."Thaddeus was a man who had seen it all and wasn't afraid of anything. But right now, he didn't dare to follow Jordan insid
Jordan stepped forward, then heard the sound of the car door closing behind him.Thaddeus slowly caught up with his assistant. Of course, he would be sad, but he had to be by her side at a time like this, no matter if she was dead or alive. He couldn't leave her alone anymore. She had already suffered a lot after marrying into the Holt family.At this moment, a scumbag like him realized that he couldn't allow her to be alone anymore, even though he had already caused something irreparable to happen.Jordan stopped walking and turned to hold Thaddeus steady. As soon as they left the parking lot, several men in black suits stopped them.The men who stopped them were strong and muscular. They looked like private bodyguards.Thaddeus vaguely remembered that these men were the very same people who had stopped him from approaching Jessamine at the scene of the car accident. Back then, he was so preoccupied with Jessamine that he didn't have the time to wonder where they had come fro
Thaddeus' yell shocked Amy, and she stopped in place, not daring to move. She could tell that he was really angry now, to the point where he would even kill her on the spot.Initially, she was upset when he left her behind at the courthouse. Then, she heard that there had been a car accident nearby. And the victim, who was on the brink of death, was none other than that bitch Jessamine. The universe had finally helped her get rid of the thorn in her side.She was overjoyed. From now on, no one would fight Amy over Thaddeus anymore. Jessamine's children also wouldn't compete with Amy's son for their father's affection. She was now carrying the only descendant of the Holt family!Amy was so happy that she even went to the place where the car accident had occurred. She became even more excited at the sight of the pool of blood on the road. She had even forgotten the doctor's advice to stay in bed and made a restaurant reservation.Since this was her first day as Thaddeus' wife, sh
Cody was silent on the phone for a few moments. Then, he said, "I can only tell you that she's still alive, but things aren't looking too good for her. As long as Ms. Patton is still unconscious, every expert doctor who is here will have to keep watch on her. "Since her benefactor had already given the doctors his orders, they wouldn't dare to mess this up. That's all I can tell you. Please don't tell anyone else."Upon hearing that Jessamine was still alive, Jordan wanted to tell Thaddeus the good news immediately. But when he saw his dazed look, he knew that he would try to barge into the hospital if he told him. Those men would never let them in.Now that Jessamine was being rescued, there was no point in barging into the hospital. Rather than wasting their energy, it was better for him to bring Thaddeus to a quiet place and discuss their next move.Jordan drove Thaddeus back to the office and placed him in the lounge. Only then did he tell Thaddeus the good news. "Mr. Holt,
Thaddeus trembled upon hearing Logan's words. "Mr. Whitmore, you have to save her! Please!"Logan sighed, "As doctors, we want her to recover too, but she has suffered a traumatic head injury. Even if we do save her, she will most likely be in a coma. You have to prepare yourself."Thaddeus took a deep breath. "Mr. Whitmore, who called you guys there?"Logan was silent for a few moments. Then, he said, "You weren't the one who called us? No one besides you has such a big influence in Zenville.""It wasn't me, Mr. Whitmore. Right now, someone is stopping me outside the hospital. I can't even get close."As they talked, a nurse's panicked voice came from the phone. "Dr. Whitmore! Dr. Whitmore! It's an emergency! Hurry!"Then, Logan hung up the phone.Thaddeus' heart was in his throat when he heard the busy tone on the phone. He was uneasy at the thought of Jessamine fighting for her life and wished he was the one who had gotten hurt instead.…Late at night, a helicopter landed
