Chapter 914 A Horrendous Accident
Minerva glared at Helen indignantly. “I don’t think it’s right of you to say that, Aunt Helen. When did we ever scam you of your money? You were the one who gave it to us willingly. You gave us the money, so it makes sense to consider the bike as something you bought. Since it’s your bike, why aren’t you taking responsibility now that Tate has gotten involved in an accident?”
Helen was speechless. “What you’re saying is complete nonsense!” Minerva was about to continue talking when the doors to the operating theatre opened. Someone was rolled out on a gurney, and the person on it was covered with a white cloth. There was no doubt that the person was dead. Chloe immediately threw herself toward the body as she began to shout and wail. “My son…”
The nurse shot her a glare. “This isn’t your son. Your son is in the other operating theatre!”
Chloe froze for a second. “Who is this, then?”
“This is the girl who was with your son while he was drag-racing with others. We couldn’t save her in the end.” the nurse uttered. In an instant, Chloe let go of the corpse before staring at it with terror-filled eyes. “W-What about my son?” Chloe whispered in a shaky voice.
The nurse gave her an exasperated stare. “I heard the doctor saying that he might have to amputate a limb.”
“What?!” Chloe cried. Then, her eyes rolled backward and she fainted. “Why… How did things turn out to be so serious? Why does he have to amputate a limb?” Jonah asked.
The nurse glared at him. “He’s lucky that he only has to amputate a limb! He hit four other bikers, and all six of them were sent to our hospital. Two of them had died upon impact while this girl just took her last breath. The remaining three are still in surgery, and your son is considered one of the luckiest ones because he only needs an amputation. We still don’t know if the other two will survive,” she replied.
Jonah’s face turned ghastly pale as he realized the actual severity of the accident. Meanwhile, the nurse continued to mutter under her breath as she knitted her brows into a frown. “Racing! I hate these bike racers! They don’t just harm themselves; they’re harming other people as well!” she hissed. At the same time, Chloe gradually returned to her senses before she started to wail once more.
Right then, a few people rushed over to the operation theatre—they were none other than the family members of the girl who had just passed away. Both of the elderlies in the group immediately fainted once they heard the news of the girl’s passing. The rest of the family members started wailing and cursing before they rushed over to surround Jonah and his family. “Trina was on the bike with this guy’s son! We have to get them to pay for this!” someone cried.
“That’s right! Return my daughter to me!” Trina’s mother howled.
“Oh, my poor niece…” someone else wailed. The bunch of them were furious, and some of them were even starting to get physical. Jonah immediately went to stand in front of Chloe as he addressed the group. “Hey, calm down! Let’s be civil about this! W-We’re victims as well…”
“That’s f*cking bullsh*t!” one man cried. “Your son was riding a bike with my sister in the back, and he was the reason for my sister’s death. How could you call yourselves victims? What the f*ck! Beat him up!” The bunch of them were about to start fighting when the hospital’s security hurried over to pull them apart.
Jonah glanced at them helplessly. “I never wanted such a thing to happen. My son is clinging onto his life in the operating theatre too…”
“Your son deserves to die! But my sister is totally innocent! You need to compensate us! Otherwise, w- we’ll sue you!” the man howled. The rest of the people joined in and began to threaten to take legal
action against Jonah’s family. Jonah’s face was drained of color, and he didn’t know what to say at all.
All of a sudden, Minerva rushed toward the group of people. “Don’t hold us accountable just yet. My brother’s still in the operating theatre fighting for his life, so there’s no point even if you guys demand anything from us right now. To find the actual perpetrator, you guys should be looking for the owner of this bike!”
Trina’s family went silent for a brief moment before the head of the family spoke up. “Who’s the owner of the bike?”
Minerva pointed at Helen. “Her! She’s the one who bought the bike!”
