Chapter 83 For the first time, she hated herself so much
“Doesn’t Miss Baker hate Carter? Why do you still care where he is?” Cliff Ford stood up and looked at her condescendingly, speaking through gritted teeth.
“Cliff Ford,” Tess Baker said with some soreness in the corners of her eyes and tears spilling down the corners, “where’s Bowen Carter?”
She wants to see Bowen Carter, badly!
“Miss Baker, do you think you’re qualified to see Carter?” Cliff Ford swore that if it wasn’t for the possibility of Tess Baker waking Carter up early, he would never give her access to Carter again!
“Please … tell me … tell me where Bowen Carter is!” Tess Baker knelt in front of him, gripping his suit pants with both hands, and looked up at him with a steady stream of tears running down her cheeks.
She didn’t want to be so spineless, but she wanted to see Bowen Carter and find out how he was doing!
Seeing her on her knees, Cliff Ford’s anger instantly turned to shock, he had a stomach full of anger, but now it was all gone.
He knows how proud his sister-in-law is, and it’s because he knows that he’s shocked by this!
“Sister-in-law, get up.” Cliff Ford helped Tess Baker up, but his face still didn’t look too good, “Carter lost a lot of blood, right hand bone fracture right leg fracture.”
Tess Baker’s face paled with every item he heard him say.
Cliff Ford looked at her and continued, “Carter was in a car accident while calling you, and the doctor said that if Carter hadn’t been so lucky, he would have died!”
What he Carter suffered, he must let his sister-in-law know in the original!
“So where is he now?” Like a big ball of cotton in his throat, Tess Baker could barely breathe.
When he called her, why didn’t she answer?
Since the plane flight was cancelled, why didn’t she go back to Beauty Garden!
For the first time, she hated herself!
“Come with me. Carter is out of life threatening condition now, but is still in a coma. The doctor said that if you talk to him more, he might be able to wake up sooner.” Cliff Ford walked to the front of the room and pushed open the door.
Tess Baker stood in the doorway and took a few deep breaths before walking in with soft hands and feet.
When she saw the man who was covered in bandages and had his right hand and right leg in a cast, she bit the soft flesh inside her lips until the taste of blood spread in her mouth, and she still could not notice any pain.
Bowen Carter has never been this messed up as far back as I can remember!
“Sister-in-law, come and see Carter.” Cliff Ford sat on the edge of the hospital bed and moistened Bowen Carter’s lips with some water from a medicated cotton pad, “Carter was calling your name when he passed out.”
“He was calling you when he had the accident, unconscious and still clutching the phone, and then several people forcefully to break his hand and take out the phone.”
“Carter’s note to you was wife, and the hospital kept calling you after they got the phone, but you didn’t answer once. I really had no choice, so the hospital called me.”
Tess Baker held on to the wall and walked a little to the hospital bed. Looking at the person in the bed with her eyes tightly closed, her throat was unbearably dry and itchy, and her nose tingled.
Was it because she said she was leaving that he was so eager to call her?
Does he feel desperate when he calls again and again and she doesn’t answer?
“Can you give me a moment alone with him?” Tess Baker felt the cast on Bowen Carter’s right arm and felt a stabbing pain in her heart, as if she were being stabbed with a knife.
Cliff Ford glanced at her, then swept a glance at the man lying still on the bed, then turned and exited the room, closing the door behind him.
Tess Baker sat at the edge of the hospital bed, looking at it almost greedily.
He’s fine … so good!
If something really happened to him this time, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life!
“Why don’t you use a Bluetooth headset when you’re driving and talking on the phone, are you stupid?” She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch his features, but when she was about to touch him, she hesitated and her hand retracted.
She was afraid that the strength would not be good enough to hurt him.
“Bowen Carter, I’m really losing track of you.” Bitterness, guilt, sweetness and regret intertwined in her heart, Tess Baker was clogged up inside, “Have you really forgotten about Wendy Summer? Or does … still see me as a stand-in?”
But even if he used her as a double, so what?
The moment she heard that he had been in a car accident, she knew that she still had him in her heart, and this life was planted in his hands!
Bowen Carter’s fingers moved slightly twice, but the magnitude was too small for Tess Baker to see.
“Didn’t you always say you wanted me to give you a baby? I will give you birth, will you wake up?”
“And our first child, I didn’t even bother to get rid of it, he’s over four now, you’ve seen him twice!”
“Bowen Carter, I have so much to tell you and so many questions to ask, why aren’t you awake yet?”
Tess Baker touched the cast on his body and felt his heart as cold as the cast.
If she hadn’t sent him that text message, he wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to get to the airport, and he wouldn’t have been in a car accident … Would his heart have blamed her?
Knock Knock!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Tess Baker wiped her eyes and went to open the door. At the door stood Cliff Ford and two police officers, one of whom was an acquaintance of hers.
“Sister-in-law, these two officers are looking for Carter for something, come out and talk to them.” Cliff Ford hadn’t rested well, and there was a faint greenish tinge under his eyes.
Tess Baker glanced in Bowen Carter’s direction, then exited the hospital room and gently closed the door behind her.
“Master Carter ran a total of twelve red lights between 5:30 and 5:52 yesterday morning, causing traffic chaos and four traffic accidents, resulting in five vehicles with severe breakage, four vehicles with minor damage and six people with minor injuries …” had seen Tess Baker several times the police officer read from the top of the book expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Tess Baker’s face was bloodless.
Bowen Carter actually ran so many red lights to stop her, he … he don’t want to die?!
“I’ll go get my credit card.” Tess Baker slowed her mind and headed for the hospital room with weak hands and feet. Once again, she was glad that Bowen Carter was alive!
“No need sister-in-law.” Cliff Ford called after her, “I already paid the fine. I asked you to come see a couple of officers just to let you know: Carter really cares about you.”
Tess Baker turned around and looked at a serious Cliff Ford with mixed feelings.
For the first time, she realized that Bowen Carter really had her in mind!
The officer who had met Tess Baker several times had a somewhat unpleasant look on his face, “Lu Shao, Miss Baker, how you rich people play in private is beyond our control. But please don’t be reckless when you drive, this will not only harm you, but also threaten the life safety of other citizens.”
“I’m really sorry for the trouble I caused you, and I’ll definitely pay attention to it in the future.” Tess Baker apologized very sincerely.
The oldest officer gave her a critical lecture for more than half an hour before leading the others away, leaving Tess Baker and Cliff Ford alone in the hallway.
Tess Baker, filled with thoughts of an injured Bowen Carter, wanted to go back to the hospital room, but Cliff Ford called out to her, “Sister-in-law, let’s talk.”
