Marriage And Love Again

That Austin and Suny had an accident was spreading everywhere the night it happened.

Elijah even jumped out of his bed at hearing the news and called Austin the minute he laid his hand on the phone.

But no one picked up his four or five calls.

In the flash of a minute, Mr. Brooks, who was quite familiar with dramatic routines, had some visions in his mind that Austin was in the emergency room and was about to die…

He felt his vein pulsating, and called Antonio while putting on clothes.

It had passed twelve and Antonio was about to sleep when Elijah called him.

He slightly frowned, “What?”

“Austin and Suny had a car accident. I called Austin four or five times, but no one answered. We need to rush to the hospital.”

Antonio almost said the f-word, “Are you sure they are not sleeping?”

Elijah was about to put on his pants, “Not likely. It’s still early.”

Antonio smiled resignedly, “What’s the time now?”

Elijah looked at his watch, “Twenty minutes past twelve.”

“Early?”

“Right, it’s a bit late.”

Elijah was still worried, “Are you sure we’re not going to the hospital?”

“You can go yourself.”

Then Antonio hung up the phone. He was starting to worry if Elijah would waste all their family property away since he looked not so smart.

People like Austin would inform them the moment something serious happened.

Looking at the phone that was hanged up, Elijah became dubious about their firm friendship.

Why does he seem so indifferent about the accident?

Just because Austin was not a Johnson, Antonio was going to abandon their friendship?

The indignation urged him to call Tate, who answered him during his sleep, “You’d better really have something to say, or we can go boxing this week.”

Elijah was speechless. A little bit violent, no?

He cleared his throat and said, “Austin had an accident. Did you know?”

“Yeah.”

“I called him but he did not answer. I think something grave happened to him and I want to go to the hospital.”

Tate was clueless, “Ivan informed you?”

“No.”

“I’m going to sleep. You can go to the hospital yourself.”

Then he hung up as well.

Elijah almost cast his phone away. “What kind of friends are they?”

He put on his pants, grabbed the keys, and went to the garage. Then he suddenly realized that he had no idea which hospital Austin was in.

He was about to call Ivan when Tate’s voice came to his mind.

Oops. He was being hasty.

Since Ivan didn’t say anything, that meant they were okay.

Elijah felt it must have something to do with his concern for friends and nothing to do with his own intelligence.

The whole night, people were talking about the car accident. But the people who had the accident had gone to sleep already.

It was not surprising that Anthony was suspected to have planned the accident the next morning.

After all, people were not stupid. Once Austin was out of the way, the biggest benefactor would be them.

Last night, Ivan had the driver investigated and nothing was found. The driver was drunk indeed.

Austin said blandly hearing Ivan’s report, “Alright.”

After hanged up the phone, he turned back to check Suny.

It was more than eleven when they slept last night, which far exceeded her biology clock.

He did not wake her up, and instead, he kissed her on the cheek and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

Suny was awakened by a nightmare. The accident happened again in her dream, except it was much worse. In her dream, she was not in the car which was completely deformed by the crash. And when she finally made it to the spot, she was told that Austin had passed away.

Then she immediately woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw the white ceiling, she realized that it was just a dream.

Her head felt better after the sleep.

She reached out for the phone and checked the time. It was almost nine o’clock.

“M, open the curtains.”

Suny washed up and went downstairs.

Austin was making breakfast in the kitchen. Thinking of last night’s dream, Suny could not help but to hug him from behind, “Why not ask for takeout food?”

“You are up?”

“Yeah.”

Suny answered him and noticed the gauze on his head. “Does it still hurt?”

Poor Austin.

“No.”

She smiled, “I wasn’t born yesterday.”

How could it not hurt?

Austin made her some gruel, “Here, careful. It’s hot.”

Suny opened her mouth and ate the yam gruel, “It’s delicious.”

“Good. I will take these out.”

Suny was about to wash the plate when her phone rang.

She lifted her eyebrow, and picked up the phone, “Robert?”

Suny believed he called to ask something about the accident.

“Were you hurt?”

“No.”

Suny was afraid Robert would not believe it, so she added, “My arm had some bruises, and Austin had cuts on his forehead.”

“How did it happen? The Johnson took moves?”

“No, it was a drunk driver.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Robert doubted it, “Have you looked into it?”

Property problem in a wealthy family is likely to spill blood or dead body.

“Austin’s dealing with it.”

Suny paused, “The rumor about Austin’s identity came out in the morning and we met Anthony at the dinner party. He’s not so stupid to take action so soon.”

Robert silenced for a while, “Maybe you should stay away from him for some time.”

Suny knew what he meant and smiled resignedly, “Robert.”

“Okay, I know.”

Robert, knowing that she was unharmed, restrained from asking her more, “Take care of yourself.”

“I will. You too.”

When she hung up the phone, Austin was already waiting for her at the table with the gruel.

Suny put aside her phone and smiled at him, “Sir, you look increasingly like a virtuous wife now.”

Austin stared at her, “Out of the two of us, maybe you will be in charge of earning the bread.”

Suny grinned, “That’ll be awesome.”

She took over the spoon, and thought about what Robert had just said, “Has Ivan found anything?”

Austin shook his head, “The driver was drunk.”

Which meant it had nothing to do with Anthony.

“Alright.”

Suny nodded and stopped the subject.

It was true that the accident had nothing to do with Anthony, but most people thought otherwise. And it followed that people began to doubt whether the rumor about Austin’s identity was true. Anthony’s ambition for KLOC was obvious for everyone to see.

However, how this thing would turn out was beyond the knowledge of common people for they merely wanted to step in and express their own opinions.

Though the accident merely influenced Austin and Suny, it had a grave impact on others.
