Roxanne shook her head and said, “No, thank you, Mrs. Farwell. This soup is really delicious!” Roxanne began to drink the soup, which had a unique and fragrant aroma. She also praised Sonya’s cooking skills.
Sonya was rather embarrassed and eventually said she would help Lucian tidy up his study. When Roxanne saw her go upstairs, she finally relaxed a little.
After all, Sonya was an elder who used to give off an intimidating aura. But now, she was polite and gentle, which made Roxanne feel a different kind of discomfort.
Roxanne had two bowls of soup but found it difficult to finish the second. Despite that, she eventually managed to drink it all. When Sonya came down after tidying up the study, she was delighted to see that Roxanne had finished all the soup.
“Mrs. Farwell, your soup is really well-made and delicious.” Roxanne praised the soup once again, causing Sonya to feel a little shy. Suddenly, Roxanne’s lower abdomen started to ache again, so she decided to go upstairs and lie down
“If you like it, I can make some more later. You can have it for lunch or dinner,” Sonya offered. Hearing that Sonya wanted to make more, Roxanne didn’t want to refuse Sonya’s kind offer, so she quickly changed the subject.
“Mrs. Farwell, this soup is so good. Why don’t you send some over to Lucian? He’s been working hard lately and hasn’t had a chance to get proper nutrition.” Sonya thought it was a good idea and decided to make some more soup while Roxanne rested in her room.
Over an hour later, Roxanne was dozing off when Sonya suddenly knocked on her door. “Roxanne, Roxanne…” she whispered softly, not wanting to disturb her. “Mrs. Farwell, what’s the matter?” Roxanne asked.
“Well, my car suddenly broke down, and I don’t know what’s wrong with it. I’ve called the body shop to come and take a look. But the soup is ready, and I thought I could bring it over to Lucian while it’s still hot. Lucian’s cars in the garage are either too uncomfortable or too big for me to drive. So, I was wondering if I could borrow your car for a bit?”
Roxanne thought it was a small matter and that the car keys were already hanging in the hallway, so there was no need for Sonya to ask her for them.
However, she still politely replied, “Sure, no problem. The keys are hanging in the hallway. Mrs. Farwell, please drive safely.”
Sonya nodded and left the room. Arriving downstairs, she picked up the keys and turned to leave. The butler suggested that a driver could drive Sonya there, but she refused. “I want to do it myself. It’s meaningful only if I personally deliver it. If you do everything for me, what use am I as a mother?”
The butler couldn’t argue with her and just reminded her to drive slowly. Half an hour later…
“Attention, breaking news for all drivers on the road! We have received reports of a major traffic jam on the second ring road caused by a serious car accident. A vehicle collided with the guardrail, blocking two lanes and bringing traffic to a standstill. The police and hospital emergency teams were dispatched to the location. As a result of the impact, all airbags were released, and a female driver is currently unconscious. However, brave and kind-hearted Good Samaritans are lending their assistance at the scene…”
When Lucian received the call from the hospital informing him that his mother had been in a car accident, he froze for two seconds before urgently asking, “Is she okay? I’m Lucian Farwell from Farwell Group. Please treat my mother as soon as possible! I’m on my way!”
He suppressed his impatience and anxiously waited for a response from the other end of the phone. “She’s okay. She’s just unconscious due to head trauma. All vital signs are normal, and there are no other injuries or fractures. Please rest assured, Mr. Farwell. We will do our best to save her!”
When the doctor on the other end of the line heard Lucian’s name, he suddenly became more serious and made a promise to do his best.
Lucian finally felt slightly relieved when he heard the news that his mother was okay. He immediately had Cayden prepare the car to go to the hospital. Taking the private elevator down, Lucian quickly informed his father of the situation.
When Elias heard that his wife was involved in a car accident, he panicked. Lucian hurriedly told him what the doctor said.
“Lucian, I’m on my way to the hospital. You’re nearer to the hospital, so please hurry over as well. How could this happen? Just before your mother left, she was still showing off to me about making soup for you. How could this happen?”
When Lucian arrived at the hospital, Sonya was still in the emergency room. His arrival even startled the hospital director, who rushed over to check on Sonya and reassured them that she would be fine.
“Mr. Farwell, your mother has regained consciousness, and all her vital signs are normal. She only suffered a mild concussion from the impact to her head, but as long as she stays in the hospital for observation, she should be fine!”
Lucian nodded and thanked the doctor before immediately going in to check on Sonya. Sonya’s expression was still a bit dazed, but when she saw her son, she immediately smiled. “Lucian, I got into a car accident, but thankfully I’m okay. Don’t worry; I’m fine!”
Seeing the concern in her son’s eyes, Sonya felt unexpectedly happy, as it had been a long time since she had felt her son’s care. Lucian approached her and asked if there were any parts of her body that were hurting.
Sonya shook her head. “I’m really fine. My head just got hit by the airbag. Fortunately, I wasn’t driving too fast, but it’s a shame about the spilled soup…”
“You’re involved in an accident, and yet, you’re still worrying about soup? Why are you so careless?” Elias pushed open the door and walked briskly to his wife, grabbing her hand and checking her anxiously. He was worried that something might have been missed during the examination.
Seeing her husband’s nervous appearance, Sonya felt even happier and said with a smile, “I’m really fine. I wasn’t paying attention, so I got into an accident. Oh, and I’m sorry about Roxanne’s car!”
Lucian immediately said, “Mom, the car isn’t important! We can just buy another one. But what about you? Did you not rest well, and is that why you lost concentration?”
“No, I don’t think so! But I felt like the brakes were acting up. Fortunately, I was the one driving. If it had been Roxanne and if she was driving fast, it could have been worse!” Sonya’s offhanded remark caused both Elias and Lucian to freeze and their expressions to turn serious.
“Mom, are you saying that the brakes failed? That was Roxanne’s car!” Lucian’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt that this accident was not as simple as it seemed. Elias’ gaze confirmed Lucian’s suspicions.
“Lucian, go to the traffic department and find out what happened. I’ll stay here with your mother.” Elias nodded slightly, gesturing for his son to leave.
“Okay, then stay with Mom. Let me know if anything happens. I’ll go to the traffic department!” Lucian turned and left in a hurry.
This made Sonya roll her eyes at her husband.. “Our son finally showed concern for me, and you made him leave in such a hurry. Why are you in such a rush?”
“You’re too carefree! A sudden brake failure isn’t normal at all. Plus, Roxanne was still using that car yesterday! How could it just coincidentally fail today?” Elias revealed the seriousness of the situation. Sonya thought about it, and her eyes widened in shock.
“Are you saying that someone wants to harm Roxanne? Coincidentally, I borrowed her car, and because I usually drive so slowly, the accident wasn’t serious.”
