Chapter 88
Chapter 88
Catherine comforted Sophia for a long while. Then she took her to see a lot of animals. Finally, Sophia became happy again.
They stayed in the zoo until the afternoon. Suddenly, the weather changed. Catherine checked the weather forecast, which showed that there would be a downpour in two hours. She discussed with the kids, and they decided to hail a cab to her apartment before they were picked up.
Both Sophia and Lincoln felt tired. As soon as they got in the car, they lay on Catherine from both sides. Looking at their sleeping faces, Catherine felt warm in her heart. How she wished that she could keep them stay with her. Shortly after they got in the car, dark clouds gathered above the city. Then big raindrops smashed on the roof of the car.
On the way back from the zoo to her house, there was a winding road on the mountain. Although the road was wide and smooth, it looked extremely creepy in the downpour.
For some reason, a strong uneasiness surged in Catherine’s heart. “Mister, the weather is bad. Please be careful driving…” she reminded the driver.
Before she could finish her words, a huge truck approached them, closer and closer. Anxiously, Catherine roared, “Step the brake! Mister, the brake!”
‘It’s… it’s too late,” the driver answered in a trembling voice.
Different scenes flashed through her mind. Looking at the truck that was rushing to them in horror, Catherine desperately covered her children under her…
“Bang!” She heard the huge bang.
When she woke up, Catherine saw the white ceiling of the hospital and smelt the medical alcohol. Recalling the frightening scene, she rolled off from the bed and pulled a nurse anxiously. “Where are my children? Where are Sophia and Lincoln?”
“Ma’am, you are awake. Hold on. I’ll call Dr. Elliott over.” The nurse rushed to call Antonio. Catherine followed her like a robot. When seeing Antonio, she asked with her reddened eyes, “Where are Sophia and Lincoln?” They couldn’t be injured!
Looking at the beautiful woman who was soulless, Antonio answered, “They are both in comas. But they are fine. Now they are under observation in the ICU.”
Upon hearing that both her children were fine, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief.
Squatting down on the floor, she unconsciously said with reddish eyes, “They are both fine. That’s good. That’s good.”
Seeing her expressions, Antonio couldn’t help getting worried. He wanted to tell her that there was another victim in this accident besides her and her children, but he was afraid that she couldn’t bear it.
After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed the words that reached the tip of his tongue.
Catherine calmed herself down. Then she stood up and looked at Antonio with a pale face. “May I see them?”
Another unexpected man was lying in the ICU. Judging her current status, Antonio was quite unwilling to let her go there. “I’m afraid you can’t. It’s not the visit time for the ICU yet.”
Catherine’s expression changed. She looked at Antonio with her pale face. “Are you hiding anything from me?”
Antonio was the owner of this hospital, which was a high-end private one. Hence, the rules were quite different from the public ones.
There were only a few beds in ICU. Last time, when she was in the ICU, Sophia, Lincoln, and Anderson could get in. Antonio parted his lips, trying to figure out how he could tell Catherine so she wouldn’t be more upset.
Right then, an elegant woman who was weeping miserably rushed to Catherine, slapping across her face suddenly. Catherine raised her head, only to find Aubrey. A bad hunch raised in Catherine’s heart.
‘I’ve told you not to pester my son! Stop pestering my son! Now you are happy!” Aubrey snapped in a harsh voice, her eyes swollen like two walnuts.
Catherine felt so uneasy. “Aunt Aubrey, what happened to Owen?” “You’ve murdered him! Are you happy now?
“You are just a jinx. When you were young, you killed your twin brother. When you’re grown up, you destroyed the Johnson family and killed your parents. Now you’ve almost killed my son!
“Catherine Johnson, why don’t you die?” The woman, who was always gentle and elegant, cursed her so viciously like a lunatic.
She kept pushing Catherine to the window. Catherine was afraid to fight back, and nor did she want. Closing her eyes, the despair and pain had drowned her.
Antonio couldn’t stand it any longer. He pulled away Aubrey, “Aunt Hunter, I know you are quite sad now. But it’s an accident, and Catherine didn’t expect it either.”
“She’s just a jinx! All her families were killed by her! “They are all dead!” She couldn’t stop curing Catherine.
Finally, the security and nurses took Aubrey away. She was injected with the tranquilizer. Huddling up on the floor, Catherine only exposed her fragile reddened eyes. “Can you tell me what has happened exactly now?”
Antonio squatted down. “According to the driver, when he wasn’t able to dodge that truck, a Bentley rushed up from the behind. The driver of the Bentley was Owen.”
Upon hearing Owen’s name, Catherine couldn’t help shedding tears.
“His car appeared in front of the taxi and was hit by the truck. Then the taxi hit the back of the Bentley because of the inertia.” “How is Owen now?” Catherine’s voice trembled. She was so afraid that she would hear any news that she couldn’t accept. Heaving a sigh, Antonio answered, “He is in a vegetative state. I’m afraid he wouldn’t wake up his all life.”
Catherine saw black.
“I want to see him.”
This time, Antonio didn’t stop her. He asked the nurse to disinfect her and put the protective clothing on her.
As soon as Catherine walked into the ICU, she saw Owen lying on the bed quietly. His lips were pale and there were still uncleaned bloodstains on his mouth corners. On his ever-handsome face, she could see different wounds.
Catherine couldn’t hold on any longer. She burst into tears. Lying prone on the edge of his bed, she called between sobs, “Owen, wake up!
“Wake up!”
He had always responded to her request.
However, he didn’t this time.
They were still playing video games a few days ago. She couldn’t accept that now he couldn’t move at all while lying here. Catherine muttered, losing her wits, “You’ve said you’ll protect me all my life. You must wake up. Or, I’ll be angry at you.” She sounded proud and coquettish.
However, her tears dropped in silence.
When Anderson walked in, he saw Catherine was waiting beside Owen’s bed like a damaged doll. He felt that something had stabbed in his heart fiercely.
“How’s she doing?” Anderson asked Antonio. Upon hearing his voice, Catherine turned around. While weeping, she laughed, “Anderson Clark, are you happy now?
“Haven’t you always threatened me with the Torres family?” Catherine pushed Anderson. “Wonderful. Now, what else can you threaten me with?”
Looking at her craziness, Anderson frowned deeply, “If it goes on like this, will she be OK?” “She should vent her emotion in some way.” Antonio asked, “What are you doing here?”
Anderson frowned. “Johanna’s blood type is also RH negative, which is quite rare. Her attending doctor informed me that there’s not enough blood left in the blood bank.”
Upon hearing it, Catherine took half a step back. Looking at Anderson in horror, she roared hysterically, “Anderson Clark, you sickened me! You devil! You are such a scum bag!”
How could he still want her blood at this moment?
“You devil!” Catherine roared at him harshly. After that, as if she was afraid of bothering Owen, she suddenly knelt in front of Owen’s bed. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Owen.”
