Chapter 013 Jenny Had an Accident?
“A deal?”
“Don’t you want money? Well, I want the bracelet. Give it to me and you’ll get ten million.” Laura
blurted out. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ten million?” Jenny sneered, “The bracelet is worth a hundred million. You’re asking me to make a bad deal.”
Laura gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, a hundred million then.”
As expensive as it was, if she got the bracelet and married Barret, she would have ten billion, not to mention a hundred million. It was worth it.
“Did I hear you right? I heard from my mother-in-law the other day that you’re less favored in your family, so I’m wondering where you can get a hundred million for me.”
“That’s none of your business. I’ll give you the money anyway,” Laura said somewhat
impatiently.
Jenny pulled her wrist back and hid the jade bracelet in her sleeve again, while glancing at the Divorce Agreement in Laura’s hands.
“I won’t sell the bracelet at any price. By the way, thank you, Laura, for kindly reminding me that under the marriage laws in this country, I can ask for an equal share of the property in the divorce, so it does seem that I should sign a new Divorce Agreement and divide my and Barret’s property properly.”
“What are you saying?”
Laura clenched her fists. She couldn’t believe what she had heard.
This Jenny was so shameless and she was pushing her luck.
“Jenny, stop right there. You are broke, so who the hell are you to ask for Barret’s property.”
Seeing Jenny get up and leave, Laura wheeled her wheelchair and chased after Jenny emotionally.
Soon, the two of them were outside the hospital.
The street at the main entrance was full of traffic.
There were many people and even more cars coming and going.
Laura just kept on chasing after Jenny. She was frantically wheeling her wheelchair and racing.
along.
Suddenly, a car drove up on her right and by the time she noticed it, it was too late. She and her wheelchair were in the middle of the road.
Bang.
Her wheelchair was instantly knocked over and Laura fell to the ground with a thud.
When Jenny turned around at the sound of the crash, she saw Laura and the wheelchair on their backs.
Her heart skipped a beat and she rushed to go back.
Luckily, it was outside the hospital and an emergency doctor soon came running and wheeled
Laura into the emergency room.
When Jenny ran over, there was only Laura’s phone left on the ground, spattered with warm
blood and reeking strongly of gore.
She had just picked it up when she covered her mouth and threw up wildly.
She didn’t feel better until her stomach was so empty that she was almost on the verge of vomiting bile.
Just then, a man got out of the car, looking at Jenny and cursing, “Hey, are you related to that woman?”
Jenny was about to say no when the man continued, “I’m telling you, I was driving properly and following the traffic rules. She ran the red light, and I had nothing to do with it.”
“No, you caused the accident. You have to wait for the police.” Jenny grabbed him.
The man was extremely impatient and pushed Jenny away. “You’re so annoying. I told you it was
her fault. Listen, there’s no way you’re going to extort money out of me for that medical bill.”
“Get the hell out of my way. I’ve got work to do.”
The man passed her, got into his car and drove off quickly.
Jenny sniffed at the strong smell of alcohol from him and frowned hard.
That man was obviously driving drunk, and he had the nerve to put the blame on someone else.
Silently keeping his license plate number as well as his appearance in mind, Jenny went quickly into the hospital.
She didn’t have time to deal with the man here. The most important thing now was to keep
Laura alive.
And if Laura did die…
She couldn’t imagine it.
Barret would definitely hate her.
The words “Emergency Room” were illuminated. Jenny took a look at them and felt her legs go
weak.
She opened her bag and tried to find some wet tissues to wipe the blood off Laura’s phone, but
for some reason, her hands kept shaking.
She fumbled around in her bag for three minutes, but she couldn’t find any tissue.
Then, she simply emptied the contents of her bag, quickly found a bag of wet tissues and took
some out to wipe the blood off Laura’s phone.
She held the phone, took a deep breath and dialed the number that she knew so well in her
mind.
“Laura” Barret’s voice came quickly and softly from the other end.
“It’s Jenny.”
“Jenny? Isn’t it Laura’s phone? Why do you have it?”
With a sigh, she continued, “Laura had an accident and she’s in the emergency room. Come over
here now!”
“Where are you?”
“The First Hospital.”
When she hung up the phone, Jenny felt as if all her energy had been sapped and she collapsed onto the floor like a puddle of mud.
She didn’t like Laura indeed.
No wife would like a dissolute and scheming woman who had been taken as the love of his life by her husband.
But she never wanted the woman to die!
When Barret arrived, Jenny was crouching on the floor and waiting. Her hair was disheveled and the contents of her bag were scattered all over the floor.
“What happened? Why were you with her?”
His hair was slightly messy and his chest heaved as he gasped for air.
It was obvious that he must have climbed the stairs up.
Jenny looked up seriously at Barret with her dark eyes. “She may have seen our Divorce
Agreement and thought I was getting too much of your property, so she wanted me to sign a new one and leave with nothing.”
“I didn’t agree and left. She didn’t give up and frantically chased after me. A racing car knocked
her over outside the hospital.”
With that, she lowered her head again, her dark eyes fixed on the floor.
She didn’t dare look Barret in the eye, not knowing what he would say.
It would be all right if Laura was saved and it would all have nothing to do with her.
If Laura died, Barret would believe it was her fault, even if she had nothing to do with it.
However, Jenny waited for five minutes without hearing Barret’s response.
She looked up again and saw him pacing anxiously outside the emergency room.
Two hours later, the lights finally went off and the doctor came out.
Jenny hurried over. The doctor took off his mask and looked at Barret. “Are you related to the
patient?”
“Well, I’m her fiancé.”
Her fiancé?
Jenny was stunned to hear that. Her husband said he was another woman’s fiancé when they
weren’t even divorced. It was really the biggest joke in the world.
“Luckily you took her here in time. The bleeding in her head is all under control now, and she got some minor concussion. Make sure that she’s taken good care of and come back for a check in three days.*
“Alright, thanks.”
Hearing this, Jenny let out a sigh of relief.
She saw Barret finally unclench his fists that had been clenched tightly and unknit his eyebrows that had been knitted like mountain peaks.
It was really different when it came to his beloved.
He’d never been so anxious about her.
And soon Laura was wheeled into the ward.
“Barret, I know what that driver looks like. He…”
Jenny said, trying to tell him about the driver.
But Barret had left. He was wheeling Laura into the ward with one hand and holding her hand with the other as if she was his beloved wife.
Meanwhile, Jenny was left alone outside the emergency room.
