Chapter 506: Outside the Ergency Room
Lucas was shocked to receive this call.?How did William suddenly get into a car accident in front of the office?
He imdiately instructed the person on the other end, “Imdiately find out how the accident happened. You must find out clearly if it’s purely an accident or deliberate murder! Also, imdiately contact the best doctors in Orange County and send them all to the hospital!”
Jordan agreed right away.
After hanging up, Lucas applied the ergency brakes, turned around, and drove toward the hospital.
Cheyenne grabbed Lucas’s sleeve nervously. “Lucas, how… how is my dad?”
From the mont she heard the words ‘accident’, ‘murder’, and ‘hospital’, her heart seed to have sunk into an abyss, and her face turned deathly pale.
She stared deep into Lucas’s eyes, afraid that she would hear an unacceptable answer from him.
Lucas patted her hand gently and comforted, “It’s just a car accident. William has been brought to the hospital, and we’re heading there now. Don’t worry. William will be fine!”
Only then did Cheyenne heave a sigh of relief, but she was still extrely nervous and anxious.
Soon, the black Jaguar arrived at the entrance of the Orange Coast dical Center. But William had already been sent to the ergency rescue room. No matter how anxious they were, they could only wait for the result outside the door.
Lucas looked at Cheyenne being fidgety and ill at ease. “Don’t worry too much. At least William is still alive. All the best surgeons in the city have rushed here too. He’ll definitely be fine!”
After giving it so thought, he decided to call Charlotte, gave her a brief explanation of the situation, and asked her to co to the hospital as well.
After all, as his daughter, Charlotte definitely should be inford of such a major accident.
“What did you say?! My dad actually got into a car accident?! Okay, I’ll head there right now!”
Charlotte was flabbergasted and panic-stricken. She quickly hung up and rushed to the hospital.
But Lucas was sowhat surprised that Karen arrived sooner than Charlotte.
Lucas didn’t expect it because he and Cheyenne had tried to call Karen, but they couldn’t get through to her, so they had no idea how she had learned of the accident.
With two streams of tears on her face, Karen scurried from the elevator to the entrance of the ergency room, looking extrely worried.
But the light at the entrance of the operating theater was still red, and they didn’t know what the situation inside was.
Karen stood at the door for a while before suddenly leaping at Lucas, extending her arm, and smacking him. “It’s all your fault, you bastard!
“William was doing fine at ho. It’s all your fault for making him go to work every day. That’s why he t with a car accident in front of the company. You’re such a scourge!
“I told you long ago that you’re a jinx who’s specially here to harm us! Now, William has gotten into a car accident and ended up in the hospital. We don’t even know if he can be rescued. This is all your fault!
“I’m telling you, if anything happens to William, I won’t let you off!”
Karen was like a mad demon as she slapped Lucas’s body with all her might and glowered at him with a nacing gaze as if he was her enemy.
Facing the crazy Karen, Lucas could only choose to avoid her, but he still ended up getting hit several tis.
“Enough!” Cheyenne finally had enough and shouted at the top of her lungs to stop Karen’s shrewish behavior.
“Dad is still lying in the ergency room. If you keep throwing a fit and disturbing the doctors, you may get out of here!” Cheyenne yelled in exasperation with bloodshot eyes. It was rare of her to lose her temper, so she imdiately shocked Karen.
Lucas’s phone suddenly started ringing.
Lucas looked at the caller ID and walked toward a quiet and secluded corridor before answering. “Speak.”
The phone call was from Jordan. “Lucas, according to the information I found, the driver who hit your father-in-law didn’t slow down after hitting him and instead quickly drove into a building nearby. He died on the spot.”
Lucas’s face turned gloomy. “Even if he’s dead, you still have to find out the exact cause of the accident and whether or not there’s soone behind the driver. I want a clear report of his identity, family situation, and financial transactions!”
Lucas truly felt that there was sothing fishy about this matter.
William had encountered the accident in front of the Solar Corporation’s Orange County branch office. But that road was very wide, and it was rare for car accidents to occur there.
Lucas had a gut feeling that this accident wasn’t as simple as it seed to be.
After hanging up and returning to the ergency room, Lucas discovered that Charlotte had also brought Alia here.
The two of them were standing at the entrance of the ergency room, their faces as pale as a sheet. They tried to look into the room anxiously, eager to hear the results but also afraid to hear any bad news.
Karen’s face was stained with tears, and her eyes were full of anxiousness. Her behavior now was a stark contrast to her usual attitude toward William.
Lucas looked at her with surprise, not expecting that she still seed to show so concern as William’s wife now that his life was on the line.
Unfortunately, Lucas guessed wrongly this ti because he never thought that Karen could be that evil. In fact, the reason Karen had hypocritically appeared here all of a sudden was that she just wanted to find out imdiately if William had died in the car accident or not.
William had sustained severe injuries, so the ergency surgery would take at least more than ten hours. Lucas, Cheyenne, and Charlotte naturally wouldn’t leave the ergency room to get so rest. But Alia was still young, and she couldn’t possibly stay here for so long.
But Lucas and Cheyenne didn’t feel safe leaving her alone at ho.
At this mont, Lucas inadvertently saw Grace walking down the corridor a short distance away.
Grace’s mother was diagnosed with severe kidney failure and happened to be receiving treatnt in the hospital. So Grace would take so ti out to visit her mother every day.
After giving it so thought, Lucas bent down and said, “Alia, do you rember Aunt Grace?”
Alia nodded obediently. “Yes! Aunt Grace is very nice. She even said she would teach how to bake a cake last ti. I rember!”
Lucas gently stroked his daughter’s soft and tender hair. “Okay, tonight, we’ll wait here for Grandpa to wake up while you go to Aunt Grace’s house. She’ll keep you company, and we’ll pick you up first thing in the morning, okay?”
Alia pouted and said aggrievedly, “I like Aunt Grace a lot, but I also want to stay here with you and Mommy to wait for Grandpa to wake up!”
