Finally, it snowed at the end of the year.
In just one night, everything was covered by the snow. Everywhere was white. The tree and house seemed to be made of snow.
Early in the morning, Jolene wrapped thick clothes around her baby. The baby was just left with nose and eyes. She was worried about the cold weather outside. Mrs. Harris went in to have a look on her daughter and grandchild. When she saw Jolene had dressed properly, she frowned, “Why you wake up so early? It is so cold. Why don’t you sleep for some more while?”
“I need to be back before breakfast. Jayden is alone at home. I am worried about him.” Jolene put the milk powder and bottles into a bag. Then, she put on the bag and picked up her baby.
“Jayden is not a child. He won’t eat if you are not there?” Mrs. Harris was worried that her daughter would be frozen as the weather outside was cold.
Jolene looked up at her mom for a few seconds and said, “Mom, I got to go.”
She had asked her driver to wait for her outside. Mrs. Harris wanted to ask her to stay and did not want her to go in a rush. However, thinking that Jolene had married and she had a very good relationship with her husband, Mrs. Harris did not persuade anymore. Instead, Mrs. Harris put on her mink coat to bid farewell to Jolene.
After sending Jolene into the car, she went back home. Jeffrey woke up when Mrs. Harris was taking off her coat. It might be due to the fact that the one who joined an army before could withstand cold, Jeffrey who was in his fall-style thin pajamas, asked, “Where do you go early in the morning?”
It was obvious that she was coming from outside as she was hanging up her coat.
Mrs. Harris smiled, “I sent your sister back.”
Jeffrey was a bit stunned, “She went back so early?”
“She said she was worried about Jayden. Although their relationship was not very good at the beginning of their marriage, I am glad that they are very sweet nowadays. You see, your sister knows how to take care of people now. Even though she just stayed here for one night, she was so eager to go back early in the morning and in the cold wind.”
Jeffrey did not say a single word anymore. He went to the table and poured himself a cup of water. He was thinking about Jolene and Jayden.
Terrell loved Jayden’s capability. It could not be denied that he was the most special guy among the silver-spoon kids back then. In just a few years, Jayden could take control of the company and even brought prestige to his company.
Jeffrey admired Jayden very much. He thought it was good for his sister could become Jayden’s wife.
He did not permit anyone to destruct this marriage.
He put down his cup, “I don’t want to have breakfast at home.”
After his words, he went back to his room. Mrs. Harris was unhappy, “Are you so busy until no time to eat?”
“I have a training.” Jeffrey opened the door and went inside the house, isolated everything outside.
It was snowing the whole night. The road was slippery.
Jolene looked out of the window. She looked at the beautiful scenery that only appeared during winter.
The crystal-like white colour was like snow kingdom. However, she had no mood to enjoy the view. She felt coldness inside her heart. The coldness was like this snow, nothing can heat it.
Squeak…
It was the friction sound between the tyre and the ground. Followed by the sound was the screaming sound of the driver, “Damn, the road was slippery, I can’t brake…”
The car skidded before he could finish his words. The driver did not drive very fast as he knew that the road was slippery. However, there was no baluster set along the road that he drove through. The car slid all the way down the road.
Jolene never experienced such an incident before. She was scared. She did not know what to do other than to hug her baby tightly.
Fortunately, a tree stopped the car halfway. There was a steep slope at both ends.
“Madam, please don’t move,” the driver’s face was as pale as a sheet. He was scared too.
The car was shaky. It might fall due to imbalance.
Jolene did not say a single word and did not dare to breathe. She was worried that the car would fall.
She held her breath.
“Quick, quickly call Jayden.”
The car might slip any time. She was extremely anxious. Furthermore, the newborn baby was with her.
It was too dangerous.
“Oh no, the road was slippery. Our car slips…”
“Ah!”
The baby inside Jolene’s arm cried before the driver finished his words. Jolene thought she had hurt him. She looked at him immediately. This slight movement caused the car to lose its balance.
Accompanied by Jolene’s scream and baby’s crying, the car slid down, rumbling snow all over the ground.
The car rolled down a steep slope.
The driver fell into a coma instantly. Jolene was neither in a better situation. Her leg was painful but she had no time to care about herself. She immediately looked at her crying baby.
When the car slid, she protected her baby out of her instinct. In order to prevent her baby from being squeezed, she used her leg to support the front seat until a narrow space was left and the baby was not squeezed.
It might be because of hunger, the baby cried even louder. Jolene stretched out her hand to pat him with difficulty, “Dear, don’t cry…”
The baby seemed to understand her and understood the danger they were facing now. Thus, he stopped crying instantly. He opened his eyes widely and looked at Jolene.
Jolene’s consciousness started to become fuzzy. However, she tried hard not to fall into a coma. She looked at her baby and tried to smile. She thought luckily the baby was fine, otherwise, she felt sorry for his parents.
Blood dripped. It was from Jolene’s leg. In order to support the seat, her leg was caught in the gap. Her consciousness was getting fuzzier. By the time she almost failed to keep her conscious, she heard something.
“The car is found here…”
“Jolene.” She seemed to hear Jayden’s voice while she was in a coma. She wanted to reply to him but not a single word could come out of her mouth. Finally, she lost consciousness and went into a coma.
Jayden was very anxious when he saw the blood on his son’s face. His heart was like being hooked by a claw. However, he realised that his son was not hurt when he saw his son’s eyes were turning agilely.
He was relieved.
Jayden stretched his hand to pick up his son. By that time then only he realised that Jolene used her leg to support the seat. The blood on the baby’s face was from Jolene’s leg. Jolene had already fallen into a coma. Jayden’s hands were trembling. After picking up his son, he commanded other people to lift the car in order to save Jolene and the driver.
Jayden brought many people there, thus, Jolene and the driver were saved in a split second. After that, they were sent to the hospital.
They were not in danger but were hurt.
Jolene’s leg was hurt badly as it was being squeezed for too long.
“The patient’s leg was hurt badly. The bone in the middle of the lower leg was badly cracked. If she wants to revive her walking capability, she needs to have an operation to add steel inside her leg. Of course, it is hard to become normal again but we will try our best to help her to walk as normal as possible…”
Jayden’s heart was rolling. Although the medical condition nowadays was good, the steeled bone differed from the normal bone.
Furthermore, it was hard for a comminuted fracture that relied on steel to get back to the normal situation.
He did not expect Jolene to hurt so bad.
“Do you agree to have an operation? If you agree, please sign here,” the doctor passed the agreement to Jayden.
Jayden took the agreement and signed it.
The most important thing now was to save her. He could not manage to change the accident. He just wanted to lower the risk to the minimum.
“Please use the best equipment to make sure that she can walk and do not have too much difference with normal people.”
“We will try our best,” the doctor took the agreement and went into the surgery room in order to ask his assistants to do preparation.
After the operation, Jolene was still in a coma for two days. Her first words were, “How’s the kid? Was he hurt?”
It might be because she slept for too long, her voice was dry and dumb.
Jayden held her hand, said, “Nope, you had protected him, he is fine.”
Jolene was relieved. She looked at the ceiling, “Luckily he is not hurt, otherwise, I feel sorry for you.”
