Chapter 346 It Won’t Be Long
They left the hotel rather early, at around eight o’ clock.
There were many cars on the road. Suny was looking out of the car window. When she suddenly thought of what Jasmine had said, she huffed out a laugh.
Austin blinked hearing her laughter, “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing. I thought of something interesting.”
“What’s that?”
Suny turned to him. As she was about to open her mouth, the look on Austin’s face changed instantly. The car that was driving at a regular speed swerved into the protection zone in just two seconds.
The airbags made Suny all dizzy, and it was not after a while that she became conscious and hastened to ask Austin, “Austin, are you okay?”
“Yeah,”
The car came straight towards them. In order to protect Suny, Austin spun the wheel sharply to right. And the car directly hit somewhere close to him and their car was crushed into the protection zone.
Austin felt some pain in his head due to the impact, raised his hand to his head, and felt something sticky on his fingertips.
He bowed his head and found it was blood.
Suny noticed that too, which made some pricking sensation in her heart, “Your head is bleeding. Let’s get out first.”
They were both conscious. Suny was mildly hurt after hitting airbags. Austin was more severely hurt. Some glasses cut his forehead and the back of his head was also hit.
When Suny was exiled from the car, she quivered slightly. But she hastened to the driver’s seat to help Austin.
He had a scary cutting on his forehead, one centimeter down. It would have cut the eye. And the blood kept oozing out.
Suny took some tissues out of her bag and gave Austin two, “Here, press on your wound, I’ll call the police.”
Austin reached out one hand to take the tissues and press them on the wounds while another hand took out his phone and called Ivan.
The car that hit them was already upside down, which made it hard to tell whether the driver was alright. The passers-by came to drag him out and it turned out he was not good. One leg limb but still able to talk.
The ambulance arrived in no time, followed by Ivan.
Austin and Suny went into the ambulance where the nurse treated Austin’s wound to stop it from bleeding.
When the two people came to the hospital, they had a full examination.
Both of them had a mild percussion. Other than that, Austin had some scratches and cuts while Suny had some bruises on her arm, which would be better after several days.
It was quite lucky that none of them had severe injuries.
Then they went to the police station to do some recording.
When they were hit, Suny was looking at Austin and did not notice anything.
But Austin was staring at the front. The hitting car ran a red light. The green light was just on and it was already coming directly toward them. If Austin had been slower, the speed that the car was at plus the crash could send him and Suny to ICU tonight.
Other police were getting the record of the driver and his alcohol test. Soon they would know whether the driver was drunk. But whether he was drunk or not, he should take full responsibility.
It was almost eleven when they went out of the police station.
Ivan was already waiting for them, and when he saw they were coming, he quickly opened the car door for them, “Mr. Johnson, Miss. Holland.”
Suny nodded and went into the car.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Suny’s house.
“Mr. Johnson, I will cancel all the meetings tomorrow.”
Austin nodded and got off first, resting his hand above Suny’s head and waiting for her to get off the car.
Neither of them had expected this whole thing.
After having a shower, Suny felt much better.
She rested her attention on Austin who was about to go to the bathroom, “Watch your wound. Don’t let it touch the water. ”
Austin gave her an assured look at the entry, “I will.”
Suny knew that everyone probably would know they had an accident tomorrow, so she texted Alicia, “We had a little car accident coming home, but we are fine.”
Alicia replied instantly, “How did that happen?”
Suny sighed, “Bad luck.”
What else could it be to run into a drunk driver?
“Did you hurt?”
“Not really.”
Alicia was relieved and told her to have a rest without chatting with her for long as usual.
Suny did feel a bit tiresome, and her head kept aching after the accident.
She withdrew from the chatting room and called Rosa after a thought, telling her to cancel all the meetings.
Suny collected her thoughts and turned to Austin, who did not spend much time in the bathroom, “Could it be Anthony?”
He should not do such things if he was not a fool.
The news just went out his morning that Austin was not a Johnson, and the two of them just met at the dinner party. If he really did plan the car accident, then everyone would probably know his intention.
Austin approached her, caressing her face, “I don’t think so. He’s not that stupid.”
Suny hummed, “Right.”
The scar on Austin’s forehead was not small. It was almost five centimeters and would not stop bleeding before being treated. Merely looking at it made her aghast.
Now that it was covered with gauze, she could no longer see it.
She raised her hand and touched it softly, “Does it hurt?”
“No.”
As he was saying, Austin turned off the light except for a dim one and pulled her gently to the bed, “Just have some sleep.”
“Okay.”
On the other side, hearing about the accident, Anthony could not resist laughing, “Is he dead?”
The person on the other side of the phone was a bit awkward, “No, he just had some scratches.”
He hummed coldly, “He’s really a lucky dog.”
Walking downs the stairs, when Albert saw his father was apparently in a good mood, he asked, “Father, what makes you so happy?”
Anthony said, “Someone told me that Austin had a car accident on his way home.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Albert also burst into laughter, “Is that true? Is he dead?”
Like father, like son. They responded exactly the same.
Anthony said pitifully, “No, just some scratches.”
“What a pity.”
Albert sneered, then something struck him, “How about us…?”
As he was saying, his face turned sullen and grim.
Anthony said furiously, “Are you out of your mind? Acting in such a circumstance, are you trying to get us some cops?”
Albert thought again and agreed, “Right, it’s not a good time.”
Anthony gave him a glance, “Don’t get hasty. It won’t be long before we take him down.”
Albert said with much expectation, “I’m looking forward to that day.”
“It won’t be long.”
Anthony was more than confident. Once he gradually bought in KLOC’s share, he would give Austin the final strike. At that time, though he doesn’t want to leave KLOC, there would be enough people to expel him.
Anthony had never thought that one day. He would be able to own KLOC. It seemed even the providence was on his side.
Austin was not Maddox’s son. Ridiculous, right?
