Chapter 289 The Car Accident

"E-Eva, do you know who was behind this report?"

Caleb stuttered as he addressed her.

"Granduncle lan knows about it. Did you guess who it was too? Luca?"

Indifferent, I hummed in assent.

If Caleb and I could have guessed it, everyone else would have too.

Only a handful of people were in the meeting room then, so there wasn't a need to overthink it.

However, lan wasn't unbothered that the project had been put on hold, so I wouldn't pursue the matter further either.

In fact, I asked Crystal to get involved in other projects. The studio could not possibly rely on the Harmons tove.

I had also started looking for a place to move, and staying in the same building as the Harmon Group made me feel uneasy.

"Luca has crossed a line, but Granduncle lan wouldn't say anything about it. I can't believe it."

Caleb seemed to have lost his words and could only grit his teeth in fury.

We didn't talk much throughout the journey and were simmering in our frustration.

I suddenly felt the car speeding up.

"Quick, Eva! C-Call the police! I'm losing control of the car."

Caleb's voice croaked as if he was about to cry...

I saw him desperately slamming the brakes, but the car continued to speed up with no signs of slowing down.

When I took my phone out, the car skidded while it turned, veering straight into the nearby pasture.

I instinctively tightened the grip on my seatbelt.

With a bang, the car crashed into a guardrail.

I held my breath as the airbags sprung up.

I intended to avoid it but couldn't stop my head from slamming to the back of the seat.

I couldn't tell if I was too weak or if the airbag was only a fail-safe from serious injuries-my vision started to blur. Chap 2014 The Car Account

Caleb was injured severely too. I could vaguely see the blood flowing from the corner of his forehead. "E-Eva? Eva? Are you okay?"

He pushed me a few times, but I could look at him with squinted eyes, completely unable to utter a single word.

Caleb quickly answered his phone when he heard its ringtone. Then, his exasperated voice came through, laced with frustration.

"Have you lost your mind? This is blatant murder! If she and I die, you are going with us! I

you I would transfer the money to you. Will you get your money if either of us is dead?"

told

I couldn't hear the rest of what he said clearly, but my heart harbored doubt.

Was Caleb in debt? Wasn't he studying abroad the entire time?

Then, in the next second, I felt my consciousness fading away. I seemed to have heard Emma and Leonard's voices.

In the end, I was unsure when I passed out. When I woke up, I was in the hospital.

I took a deep breath and smelled a familiar scent infused with the aromatherapy Jill brought the other time. I instantly knew I had returned to the VIP hospital ward.

Jill had foresight and kept this ward for me.

'Eva? You're awake, Eva. Can you see me?"

Leonard's voice sounded. Catching a whiff of his familiar scent, I slowly opened my eyes.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his under-eyes were dark.

I wanted to caress his stubble, but I stopped myself as I thought about our relationship.

Suddenly, I widened my eyes and remembered being in the hospital. Did it mean that Leonard could see my medical records?

"What's the matter, Jill? Don't scare me."

Leonard wanted to keep me down, but I tried to prop my body up.

Jill was shocked when she entered with a plate of fruits.

"You're awake, Eva. Ah, calm down. Don't worry. Everything is fine."

When I saw her blinking at me, I finally calmed down.

With her present, everything would be fine.
