Elaine looked very pale and shocked. She said, “Oh, I’m fine, my head simply hurts a little. The doctor checked on me and he said that I’m okay, it’s just that your father…the truck had hit his side…”
She wailed loudly.
It was a fatal blow to her that her husband might end up being permanently quadriplegic.
After a thorough investigation, Charlie discovered that the muck truck had already escaped after the accident. Elaine and Jacob were unconscious after being hit by the truck, so they couldn’t see the truck’s license plate nor any significant feature of the truck.
Later, they were sent to the hospital by Good Samaritans.
Elaine’s situation was slightly better. She was sitting in the front passenger seat at the time, so she was unconscious after the accident and suffered some bruises and minor injuries. She woke up after arriving at the hospital.
Jacob, on the other hand, was unlucky. Sitting in the driver’s seat, he suffered a major impact as the truck had hit his side and he ended up in this miserable state.
Charlie sighed dejectedly and thought, ‘God is so unfair.’
Although Jacob was an egoistic boaster who loved to pretend to be an expert despite his lack of knowledge, he was not a bad person overall, only a little cowardly and foolish.
However, the accident had caused him to be permanently quadriplegic. If he didn’t do something right now, he would be in misery for the rest of his life.
On the contrary, Elaine was not only a typical snob, but she was also a wicked shrew who wanted to marry her daughter off like it was a trade for the sake of wealth and glory. She had no moral standards
or any line in her life.
And then what? She ended up fine!
Charlie couldn’t help but sigh, an evil thought brewing in his mind. Why wasn’t Elaine the one on the bed and at the risk of being quadriplegic?
If she was disabled, he would finally have a leisurely life in the Wilson family…
At this moment, the door of the ICU opened and two figures walked in.
Charlie’s face suddenly darkened when he laid eyes on the young man walking in front. He was Jason Grant, the man he had humiliated at the auto show yesterday.
Behind him was a middle-aged man carrying a medicine chest with a big red cross on it.
Claire asked, “Mom, why is he here?”
“Oh, I asked him to come. Jason knows the hospital director. He was here visiting his relatives when we were admitted to the hospital. When he saw our conditions, he immediately arranged for your dad to be admitted to the ICU.”
Then, he put up a warm smile and said affectionately, “Jason, you must be tired from all the arrangements. Come, have a seat!”
Jason plastered a smile on his face and said, “It’s okay, I’m not tired.”
Then, there was a swift change in his expression when he suddenly saw Charlie standing behind Elaine.
The disgusting loser was here.
Yesterday, at the auto show, it was because of Charlie’s interference that he was humiliated in front of Claire.
Since then, he hated Charlie down to the marrow of his bones.
Besides, he didn’t think that Charlie would be so incredible. He had been finding a chance to unravel his disguise.
His wrath of fury started to burn when he saw his nemesis standing in front of him. At the same time, he intended to reverse the bad impression made and regain Claire’s favor.
Elaine sighed heavy heartedly, wiped her tears, and said, “Jason, a while ago, the doctor said that Jacob might be paralyzed for the rest of his life. What should I do…”
Jason pointed at the middle-aged man behind him and introduced him to Elaine. “Don’t worry! This is Joshua Lynch, a famous Chinese medicine doctor in the country and I’ve invited him to treat Uncle Jacob! Don’t worry, with his skills and professionalism, Uncle Jacob will heal in no time!”
