Chapter 26: Charlotte, You are So Cheap!
What answered her was scattered screams at the other end which was mixed in with police sirens and
also sound of ambulances.
The next moment, an anxious female voice sounded, “Hello, may I know are you related to the owner
of this phone? He has met with an accident, and it was pretty serious, we’re at…”
Charlotte felt a shudder run through her and her phone immediately dropped to the floor with a loud
crashing sound.
…
In the central hospital.
Charlotte rushed to the hospital like mad, and the operation being carried out in the operation theatre
was coming to an end.
The door was swung open and a nurse hurried out of the theatre.
Charlotte lurched forward and grabbed the nurse’s hand with force. She asked with a shaking voice,
“That man inside has met with an accident in a place just five hundred metres away from the hospital?
How is he now? Is he…”
The nurse retrieved her hand and lifted her gaze at Charlotte for a moment.
“Are you his wife or?”
Charlotte straightened her body and shot a wary glance elsewhere. She then said with hesitation, “We
are… friends.”
The nurse let out a sigh and said with a sorry tone, “He is so young too, that’s unfortunate. His nervous
system has been buffeted greatly, and he has become a vegetative. Nobody can guess now when will
he come back to reality.”
“A huge truck hit him from the front and he was immediately sucked underneath the truck. It was a
miracle that he wasn’t smashed into pieces. The perpetrating driver has been arrested.”
A vegetative…
Charlotte trembled and sat down on a bench behind her.
“Miss.” The nurse held her and said, “At this point, I hope you well and nor be drown by sorrow.”
Sorrow?
It was initially hopeless to reunite with her family members, and the only detective who knew about
their news had turned into a vegetable.
“Sorrow” was not enough to describe her life right now.
Charlotte reached out to cover her eyes with reddened face as she wailed in despair.
What should she do now?
How to deal with the terrible situation?
At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps approaching her, and the sound stopped just beside
her.
A very chilly voice boomed, “Are you sad because he has turned into a vegetative?”
Hearing a familiar voice, Charlotte snapped her head up only to meet a pair of desolate eyes.
There were two person standing in front of her.
Lawrence stood there dressed in his usual suit, and his eyes were burning with anger. His knuckles
were holding two bank cards smeared in blood.
The cards were exactly the ones that she gave the detective. Why are Lawrence holding it?
“Are you wondering why the bank card I have given to you is now back in my hand?” Lawrence began
suddenly.
Before Charlotte could respond, he tossed the card hard at her face.
“Charlotte, you are so shameless!”
The blood on the card spilled to Charlotte’s face, which made her deathly pale face looked more
pronounced in contrast.
She was just staring at her with a pair of reddened eyes, seemingly unable to digest what he meant.
“Miss Garcia.” Allison who was next to Lawrence started talking in grace and elegance as usual.
“Lawrence is an accomplished person in his career. I don’t mind if he’s fooling around before getting
marriage, but you can’t make him into someone you can simply take advantage off and use his money
to provide for another man. If this accident did not happen today, how many more men are you
planning to raise out there?”
Charlotte widened her eyes as she rose from the long bench. She looked at Allison incredulously,
“What the hell are you talking about?”
