Chapter 530

"James got into a traffic accident on the way to the airport,” Debbie saidworriedly. “The doctors are operating on him right now, but he's not outof danger yet.”

Isaac's face fell right then.

James was in trouble? And it had to be now?

He could not return at the moment either.

"Got it. Which hospital is he in?"

"Aiken. It's a small hospital nearby, but he needed help urgently.”

"I see."

Isaac hung up and quickly called Zachary.

Zachary might have quit his job as a doctor, but he had built a networkin his time as one. Isaac would also have peace of mind with himkeeping an eye on things.

Zachary was shopping with Ember at a store for luxury goods-since hewas supposed to appeal to her emotionally in order to replace out whathappened to Lulu, it meant spending time and effort to earn her favor.Ember was naturally basking in the sweet world he fabricated for her,thinking that all her hard work had paid off as she had finally wonZachary's love.

"That looks really nice," she said, pointing at a four-leaf clover bracelet.Zachary beckoned for a sales assistant. "Could we try that on? We'llbuy it if it looks good."

Ember wrapped her hands around his arm, grinning ear to ear. "You'reso wonderful, Zachary.”

He forced a smile. "As long as you like it. Also, we're married, so don'thold back."

Ember's heart could melt from Zachary's charm then-she had gottenwhat she wanted!

Suddenly, Zachary's phone rang.

He whipped out his phone, and seeing that it was Isaac, he told Ember,"I need to take this."

Ember nodded tamely. "Okay."

Zachary made sure to get somewhere quiet before answering. "Hello?""James was involved in an accident. He's at the hospital now-go checkon him."

"What?!" Zachary exclaimed in disbelief.

He had bickered a little with James, but it was inconsequential and theywere certainly not at odds.

As such, he asked worriedly, "I just saw him hours ago. How did thathappen?"

“I don't know-I'm abroad right now, but I'm worried. Check on him forme, will you? Call me right away if something's up.”

"Okay," Zachary replied, pausing before asking, “I heard that Irene is introuble too. Is she going to be okay?"

"Just take care of James for me," Isaac said quietly-he would not beable to give Zachary the full picture over one phone call anyway, andhe would rather Zachary not be distracted.

He could not help them from Zidonia anyway.

“I'll go right now," Zachary said.

Zachary knew Isaac-if Isaac did not want to say it, Zachary would notask.

Sliding his phone into his pocket, Zachary hurried to the counter, whereEmber was still trying out the bracelet.

Seeing him return, she held out her wrist in front of him, asking, "Doesit look good?"

"Yeah," Zachary said without looking and whipped out his wallet to takeout a credit card.

Handing it to the sales assistant, he said, "We'll take it."

“Very well." The sales assistant was certainly happy about sealing the deal so quickly, andtook the card to the cashier counter.

Ember actually became distracted just then and tried to ask casually, "Who was that?"“Isaac,” Zachary replied without a pause.

He obviously was not lying either, so Ember was relieved. "Did something come up?""Yeah," Zachary said. "James Cross was caught in an accident and rushed to the hospital.Isaac is abroad and can't come home soon, so he asked me to check on him."

“I'm coming with you," Ember said, adding before Zachary could protest,” Mr. Cross has beenvery nice to me. I'm worried about him too.”

zachary held her gaze for a moment, but eventually nodded.

The sales assistant soon returned with Zachary's card and the bracelet packed up. Takingboth items, Zachary said, "Let's go."
