“Joan, please don’t leave me! I really need you. I can’t live without you,” Caiden pleaded to her tenderly.

What is going on? Is he erupting into a crying scene now? Joan glanced at him and decided to let him continue.

“Hey look, are they arguing?”

“I don’t know. Wow, that man is so handsome!”

Finally, he released her. That was probably because he felt her irritation. They then parted ways unhappily.

Joan did not turn around at all as she left the restaurant. Immediately, she hopped onto a cab to go home. On the other hand, Caiden remained rooted to the ground at the entrance and watched sorrowfully as she left.

Was I really wrong? Holding his head with both his hands, all he could feel was a pounding headache.

“Hey sir, there is a car right there!” a woman behind him screamed out loud.

However, he was so lost in his own world that he could not hear the voices behind him nor sense the movements around him. Before he knew it, he was in the middle of the busy road.

“Bang!”

A screeching slam on the break could be heard but alas, the driver could not stop in time.

“Joan,” was Caiden’s first word as he fell, and it was also his last.

Immediately, a curious crowd formed around him, and the ambulance arrived before long.

There was no one outside the operating theater when the doctors performed the surgery on him. No one could contact his family, and when they called Joan, she did not pick up either.

“Joan, your phone has been ringing for a long time. Why aren’t you picking it up?” Delilah asked her curiously.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m sure it’s one of those spam calls,” Joan said quietly.

I don’t think so. Who would make so many continuous spam calls? Delilah felt suspicious instantly.

“No matter what, this person has been calling you the entire afternoon. I think you should just pick up the call in case it is something urgent,” Delilah said purposefully.

Even though Joan did not mention it, Delilah knew that something was up. Joan was not one to ignore phone calls randomly unless she was deliberately avoiding something.

“Mm-hmm,” Joan responded and turned to return to her room.

Indeed, the name on the screen made her feel rather disgusted.

“Caiden Owens, what is it that you want? How many times must I tell you to stop calling me? It’s impossible for the two of us!” she roared into the phone.

She was already very emotional, and his clingy persistence frustrated her more than ever.

“Hello, Ms. Watts. I am not Mr. Owens. He was involved in a serious car accident. We haven’t been able to contact his family…” the nurse said softly.

Oh, so we are playing this game again? How annoying! Fury rose in Joan’s heart.

“I’m not his family member nor his friend. I’m sorry, but you have gotten the wrong number.” With that, Joan was about to hang up.

“No, Ms. Watts. I’m serious. Mr. Owens is involved in a serious car accident. If you don’t believe me, I can send you a picture. He is in the operating theater right now. I can take a picture…”

She was stunned for a moment but soon resumed her angry expression.

“That’s it, I will never believe in this kind of thing anymore. Just call someone else. I’m hanging up now,” Joan replied with a low voice and hung up immediately.

Whether he was really in a serious car accident or not, it had nothing to do with her anymore.

She had already made it clear that they were to have no more connection and would not disturb each other again.

She had pretty much repaid Caiden for saving her life. More importantly, she had already lost every ounce of trust in him.
