Chapter 455 A Car Accident
“What on earth did you say to him? Why did you provoke him?!”
Elisa parted her lips but no word came out of them. Perceiving the intense atmosphere, Rachel walked up and pulled Sheena away from Elisa. “Calm down, Sheen. What exactly happened?”
Elisa closed her eyes with a remorseful look. “It’s all my fault.”
Rachel was confused. “Elisa?”
Elisa didn’t bother to explain but looked at Carle’s other friends and asked anxiously, “How’s his situation?”
One of the men sighed. “While we were drinking together just now, we talked about our crush, but Carle drank alone emotionally. We noticed something was off about him at that time, but we didn’t bother with it. Then, he suddenly stood up and said he was going to make a call.”
Elisa clenched her fists as her face became as pale as a sheet. Rachel’s expression changed too as she guessed that Elisa must have rejected Carle. Otherwise, Carle wouldn’t be so depressed and walked out of the bar after getting drunk and… gotten into an accident.
“We reckoned he went to call you, but he didn’t come back after a while. When we went out to find him, he was already hit by a van. It was too late by the time we realized it…”
Elisa inhaled softly and muttered, “How is he now?”
“He bled a lot in his head. The doctor is performing surgery now, and he said Carle’s life can be saved.”
Slightly relieved, Elisa stood speechless outside the operation room. At that moment, she was filled with incomprehensible regret. If anything went wrong, Carle could lose his life! Elisa felt her heart wrenched.
Meanwhile, Sheena had completely lost her rationality. “What on earth did you say to him on the phone that made him into this state?!”
Elisa parted her lips, but she couldn’t bring herself to repeat those words just now.
Rachel attempted to mediate. “Let’s not argue about it first. Our noise might disturb the doctors in the operating room.”
Sheena turned away and remained silent while Rachel held Elisa’s hand and cooed, “Don’t overthink. Let’s observe his situation first.” Elisa could only nod in silence as she was overwhelmed with remorse and apprehension.
An hour later, the red signboard finally turned green. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and waited at the entrance of the operating room. There was no one who could make important decisions at the scene, so one of the men asked in a fluster, “We haven’t informed his family about this matter yet and only called you girls. Shall we… inform his family now?”
Elisa furrowed her brows. This is not a minor accident… We have to inform his family, but there’s nothing much his family can do even if they’re here now. The hospital knows who the reckless driver is, so they would take care of him. So, we can wait for Carle to regain consciousness and seek his opinion. It’s just that… I wonder when he will regain consciousness.
After pausing for a while, Elisa said, “Let’s wait for a while more.”
On the other hand, Sheena’s eyes were swollen as she continued sobbing silently.
Around twenty minutes later, the door of the operating room finally opened. Everyone gathered around the doctor with concerned and fearful looks. The doctor took off his mask and revealed his solemn expression.
