The Royal Contract Chapter 740

Chapter 740: A civilized person

Alia told her chauffeur to try the first hospital that ca to her mind. It was the closest to the accident site and the best hospital in the city. It was likely where the ambulance took the prince.

It was a few minutes drives from Eida’s apartnt, but it would at least give her friend a few more minutes to rest before she learned about the accident.

“Thanks.” She told her driver. If it had been just her, she would not be able to bring Eida down from her apartnt and into the car.

Showering her and putting her into her clothes were already a struggle, but carrying her would be too much. She was like a big baby incapable of doing anything on her own.

Eida had automatically passed out in the car as soon as her back hit the backrest. It was not a surprise since she almost emptied the bottle of wine she had taken from her.

“Is there still traffic in the vicinity?” She asked the driver, rembering the earlier incident.

Lance’s accident must have caused the traffic earlier. She surmised, realizing where the accident happened. If she had learned earlier, she would have arrived at his side the sooner.

.....

But things happened for a reason.

Alia tried to believe that. And tonight, she had to discover her friend’s condition, looking at the woman snoring beside her in the backseat of the car. And she believed her friend was more than enough reason.

“I think the road is clear from traffic, Ms. Alia. We will arrive at the hospital in five minutes.” The chauffeur estimated, looking at her, before returning his attention to the road, flowing smoothly without any hindrance.

She sat uncomfortably on her seat, gazing at the view outside and occasionally checking on her friend, waiting if she would wake up, but she was still sleeping like a baby.

She wondered what could have happened to the two of them. But was it wise to bring her into the scene looking like a truck just ran her over, dragging her on the road?

But what was happening to Lance? She nervously thought as she rembered the image of the man lying almost lifeless on the steering wheel of his car.

“Ms. Alia, I think we have a problem.” The chauffeur caught her attention, slowing the car before they could enter the hospital premises. “The entrance seems to be swarming with the dia reporters.”

Her driver pointed to the hospital’s main lobby, where several dia crew were already camping outside, probably just like her, looking for the prince.

The traffic was also building up in front of the hospital as more spectators rushed to the premises. He was still a prince, even if not the crown prince. Many would be interested in his condition.

But with that amount of dia personality, it was likely they had already found the prince, and he was inside. All she just needed was to find another way to sneak in without the dia noticing her or her friend.

“Park the car on the other side.” She told her driver, trying to co up with a plan.

She felt relieved because if she had chosen the wrong hospital, she would have to travel almost an hour to the opposite direction of the other hospital.

“Just give a few minutes.” She told the driver and glanced beside her.

She had no issues if the dia saw her coming through the hospital. She had several reasons why she should be here. Many did know that Lance was her childhood friend.

But Eida was another issue. Not that the dia could pinpoint her relationship with the prince right away, but her condition would bring so interest.

After all, she was a competition in the business. Many would want a piece of her and use her situation to destroy her. But she could not allow that to happen to her friend. Her career was everything to Eida.

“Hang on, my friend. We are almost there.” She touched Eida’s face, who was still very drunk.

Then, an idea ca to her mind. she grabbed her phone and called a number. She never thought that she would ever need this man’s help, but she had no choice at the mont. She could not call anyone else.

“Yes.” The man on the other line answered. “Alia, what is it? Don’t you know what ti it is?” The indifference in his voice was getting to her.

She could not rember what she did to him that would make him suddenly lose interest in her. The dinner was not exactly perfect, but it was not that bad. Suddenly, his attitude turned cold toward her.

“Of course, I know what ti it is.” She snapped at him, suddenly wanting to drop the call on him. But she rembered she needed him. “I am sorry, but I need your help,” Alia turned to her friend as desperation hinted in her voice.

“Please, do not hang up.” She added when he was silent for a second. “Evan, I need your help.” She continued when he did not say anything.

She bit her lip, hoping that he would help her because she could not think of anyone else. But she had to help her friend sohow to get inside.

“Ok, what is it? It better be good because I also have things to deal with at the mont. Stop wasting my ti.” His voice sounded tired with slight frustration.

She suddenly wondered what could be wrong with him. What could he be doing at this hour? Maybe he was on a date and doing sothing, and she interrupted him in the middle of performing sothing.

She just automatically assud that he would be in the hospital. But then again, it could be Angela. Maybe her health condition had taken to the worse.

She rembered she did not co today to visit her or even call. She had been busy that the last thing she wanted to do was return to her hotel room and sleep.

“Are you in the hospital?” She quickly asked, wanting confirmation. ” Is Angela ok?” She continued, suddenly worried, feeling her heartbeat increase and drumd on her chest.

“Of course, I am in the hospital. Where did you think I was? Out on a date again.” At this ti, his voice was full of irritation, as if she was asking too much nonsense.

She was suddenly taken aback by his response and by rudeness. Maybe she caught him in a terrible ti. “I am sorry. I should not have disturbed you.” Hanging up the phone and staring at it as if it was about to bite her.

What was wrong with that man?

“Why do n have to be such an asshole?” She hissed at the screen, looking at his na displayed before her eyes.

Evan acted like he would not give up on her until he got what he wanted from her when they first t. He even hinted at it in their encounters and during dinner.

Then, he suddenly lost interest in just one date.

Was she that hideous in his eyes? Now, he could not talk to her like a civilized person.
