“I‘m at the highway about three kilometers away from Laxis Town. There‘s been an accident Please send an ambulance at once.”
In the CEO Office of Carousel Group.
“Mr. Wright, this is all the documents about the market research on Laxis Town and Miss Gabriel has classified the hotels. She asked me to send them to you.” John said nervously, standing in front of Wayne’s desk with a stack of documents in his arms.
Wayne gave him a lukewarm glance and asked, “Where is Anna? Why didn‘t she bring the documents here in person?” – “Miss Gabriel hasn‘t come back yet because a car accident happened on her way back. She asked me to send the documents to you first,” John said.
When Wayne heard this, his face changed and he stood up immediately, asking, “She had a car accident? Did she get injured?”
John was taken aback by his reaction and stammered, “Miss… Miss Gabriel is fine. She hit someone accidentally while driving. That person is still being rescued in the hospital.”
Hearing that, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still darkened. “Which hospital?”
“What?” John was a little stunned. The next moment, he saw Wayne‘s cold expression and couldn‘t help shivering. Then he hurriedly told Wayne the name and address of the hospital.
“Mr. Wright, are you going to that hospital?” John asked cautiously.
Wayne glanced at him and asked, “Who said I’m going to the hospital? Don‘t you think you asked too many questions?”
John was scared and his legs felt weak, fearing that Wayne would be unhappy and fire him.
“You can go back to work now,” Wayne said as he waved his hand impatiently to ask John to go.
After John left, he fidgeted in his chair for a long time with his mind in a mess.
Is she all right now? Did she get injured?
“Mr. Wright, here is a document that…” Ten minutes later, Gabe knocked on the door and came in. But there was no one in the office.
“I have something to attend to and won’t come to the company until tomorrow afternoon,” Wayne said on the phone.
Then he hung up the phone, stepped on the gas, and drove onto the highway.
It was already evening. He drove at a fast speed all the way and arrived at the hospital two hours later.
As soon as he arrived at the ward that Anna was in, he heard Anna’s scream from inside. “What are you doing? Let go of me!” Without thinking, Wayne pushed the door open and rushed in.
On the bed, a man with gauze wrapped around his head put his arms around Anna’s waist.
After Anna struggled and broke free, he get out of bed and grabbed Anna’s arm again.
Seeing this, Wayne strode over at once, grabbed the man’s collar from behind with one hand, and grabbed the man’s wrist with the other hand. Then he had the man’s hands tied behind his back. The next moment, the man screamed in pain.
“Hey, let go of him. He’s just been rescued and woken up. Don’t do that,” Anna said anxiously. “Let go of him first.”
Wayne frowned and let go of the injured man with a snort. Then he said, “Such a rogue should have been killed in the accident.”
Haring this, the injured man shivered with fear, crawled on the bed in a hurry, and wrapped himself tightly with the quilt, only revealing his eyes.
The ward finally became quiet and Anna breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at Wayne and asked in confusion, “Why are you doing here?”
“The staff of my company hit others while driving. I’m here to help deal with this matter in case someone deliberately takes advantage of it and starts a rumor to ruin the reputation of the company,” Wayne answered seriously and calmly.
Actually, it was the public relations department who should be responsible for it and he didn’t need to come here at all. But Anna, who had just worked in Carousel Group for a few months, didn’t know about it.
“The police have made a thorough investigation on this matter. Fortunately, I installed a dash cam in my car. The video showed that he suddenly went to the middle of the road while I was driving. At that time, I was operating on the navigation system and didn’t notice him. And it was late when I stepped on the brake to stop the car. I’m also partly to blame for the car accident. Sorry,” Anna explained with a guilty look.
Hearing her apology, Wayne felt annoyed and thought, Does she think that I came here just to blame her?
“Why do you apologize?” he said with a frown. “I heard from your assistant that you hit a tramp. Is he the tramp? As he spoke, he looked at the injured man up and down,
The man didn’t look like a tramp at all. He was tall and strong with fair skin and delicate features. But he looked a little stupid.
Anna looked at the man and said with a confused look, “When I saw him, he was wearing ragged clothes. And it seemed that he hasn’t taken a shower for a long time and he was smelly. The doctor said that there was a blood clot in his brain. But I’m not sure if the blood clot had been there before I hit him.”
“I think he’s not all there,” Wayne said briefly. “Does he have any family? Can you get in touch with them?”
Anna shook her head and said, “We didn’t find any contact information about his family.” “Send him to the shelter in the town after he recovers,” Wayne said.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea. After all, I hit him and caused him to be injured. I have to help him find his family. Maybe his family is looking for him. Besides, if the blood clot in his brain problem was caused by me, I should be responsible for it.”
As soon as she finished her words, Wayne’s face darkened and he said, “It’s up to you.”
Seeing that Wayne was about to leave, Anna hurried to catch up with him and asked, “It’s so late. Where are you going?”
It‘s already dark outside. Does he want to go back to Birmingham?
Wayne glanced at her and said in an unhappy tone, “I’m going back to Birmingham. I have a meeting to attend tomorrow afternoon. Do you think I have a lot of time every day?”
He came here just to confirm if Anna was all right but her attitude made him displeased.
“It’s late now.” Anna frowned and said, “It’s said that there will be a rainstorm tonight. You’d better stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning.”
In the morning, meteorological authorities issued a rainstorm alert. The rainstorm was very likely to cause a landslide and it was dangerous to drive on the mountain road from Laxis Town to Birmingham. Therefore, she suggested Wayne go back to Birmingham the next day.
“Then where will I stay tonight?” Wayne asked.
“This hospital is not far from Laxis Town. The hotel where I live is quite nice. You may get a room and stay there for a night. What do you think?”
“Okay.” Wayne said without hesitation. Then he glanced at her and said, “Let’s go. I haven’t had dinner yet.”
Anna was stunned and thought, Why is he suddenly so easygoing? Then she quickened her pace to catch up with him.
