Chapter 171
“Who’s calling you sister‘? Don’t flatter yourself! Yolanda said, blushing. Im not going to your place for dinner anymore. You can
back by yourself. Yolanda, embarrassed by having her feelings exposed, jumped out of the car and ran away. Ella didn’t stop her. After all, there was plenty
of time.
Ella fastened her seatbelt and turned on the music, ready to drive off. Unexpectedly, Yoland’s returned Changed your mind? Hurry up and get in,”
Ella said
“No, get out,” Yolanda replied. “I want to drive your car. I need to take care of something
“Where’s your car!” Ella was puzzled.
“I think your car looks better. You can drive mine, and I’ll return it to you tomorrow. Yolanda urged.
Ella’s car was a Maybach with a two–tone design, very businesslike, intended for meeting clients. Yolanda’s car was a small Panamera and could only sent two people. Since Yolanda wanted to drive, Ella handed over the keys without further thought.
As Yolanda drove off, a car began to tail her closely. She floored the accelerator, reaching nearly a hundred miles per hour on the city roads, yet the car behind didn’t let up
Ella had just gotten into her own car when her phone rang. It was Hank, his voice urgent. “Ms. Willow, where are you now?
“I’m in the garage. What’s wrong!” Ella replied
“Go back upstairs immediately. I’m coming to get you. The Watson family’s been up to something lately. I just discovered Simon sent someone to follow you. I’m worried they might mean you harm, Hank said.
Ella’s heart skipped a bear. Yolanda had just driven off in her car. Wait Why did she suddenly switch cars! Did she realize something” Ella thought with growing dread.
At that moment, a message popped up on her phone. It was a voice message from Yolanda. Ella hung up the call and played the message. [Jaden is my family. So are Simon, Mom, and Dad. If they’ve done something wrong, I hope you and Jaden will show mercy and not push them to the brink No matter what happens to me later, please spare them. Ella, you’ll promise me this, won’t you?||
Yolanda, usually so cheerful and lively, spoke with a tone of melancholy as if she were leaving her last words. When Ella heard the voice message, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She called Yolanda, but there was no answer. Ella was frantic as she muttered to herself, “Yolanda. please don’t do anything foolish!”
Ella called Hank. “Yolanda took my car. She left me a strange voice message. I think she’s
she’s planning to do something reckless. Find out where she is
пок
As she spoke, a mechanical female voice cut through on the car radio. “A chain–reaction collision has occurred at the intersection of Eastgate Road and Southshore Road, causing significant traffic congestion. Police and emergency personnel are on the scene. We advise drivers to avoid the area”
Ella’s head was spinning. She instinctively felt that the accident involved Yolanda She rushed to the scene, but traffic was already backed up over a mile from the intersection. Ella parked at the side of the road and hurried on foot, walking so quickly that her stomach started to cramp. She doubled over, holding her belly.
At that moment, a food delivery driver stopped to check on her, “Miss, are you alright? You look like you’re in pain”
“I need to get to the front… Can you take me there? I’ll pay you,” she gasped, wincing in pain.
“Hop on
Ella climbed onto the scooter, her anxiety growing with every second. When they finally arrived at the crash site, the police had already set up a cordon. The air was thick with the stench of blood. There was fire and the scent of gasoline. She immediately spotted the wrecked Maybach. It was her car. She tossed her wallet to the driver and stumbled off the scooter.
A police officer stopped her. “There’s been an accident ahead. You can’t go in…”
“My sister is in there… Let me through Ella lost control of her emotions, nearly screaming. Hearing this, the officer allowed her to pass through
Ella saw Yolanda lying in a pool of blood, a metal shard piercing her abdomen, with a bloody gash on her forehead. Blood gushed out like water from an open faucet. The paramedics had arrived and were lifting Yolanda onto a stretcher. Ella got into the ambulance with them.
“Stop the bleeding! Give her oxygen! Start CPR the paramedic instructed.
Ella watched, her heart clenching tight, her nails digging deep into her palms. “Please save her..” she murmured, afraid to speak louder, fearing she might disturbs the medical staff. She clung to Yolanda’s icy haul, which had none of the warmth of a living person. Tears streamed down Ella’s face as she tried to console herself, thinking, “It’ll be okay… Everything will be okay…
Chapter 171
Yolanda had steered onto the median to avoid hitting anyone, only stopping after crashing into a lamppost. She hadn’t been seriously hurt at first, but then another car rear–ended her, crushing the vehicle beyond recognition. Yolanda, trapped in the driver’s seat, had been critically injured and was now unconscious, her life hanging by a thread.
The driver of the car that hit her was drunk and had already been arrested. His license was revoked, and he faced a minimum of five years in prison. The police interrogated him repeatedly, but he claimed he was drunk and thought the car ahead had gone through a green light, so he followed. This person was definitely going to jail. He had taken all the blame, so it was impossible for him to implicate anyone else.
Ella knew this was all the doing of the Watson family. The police asked her to inform them when Yolanda’s condition stabilized so they could take her statement. After they left, Hank finally spoke. If Miss Yolanda hadn’t switched cars with you, it would’ve been you in that crash. You might be able to survive, but your baby….
Ella’s eyes turned cold. Yolanda has not only saved my life but also the life of my unborn child. How can I ever repay her? the thought, overwhelmed with sadness. The memories of Yolanda brought tears to Ella’s eyes. She would hunt down every last culprit and tear them apart. “Put up a sign at the hospital entrance,” Ella instructed
Perplexed. Hank asked, “What sign?”
Ella’s face was icy, her gaze chilling, her red lips parting to utter each word slowly and clearly. “No members of the Watson family- are allowed inside.”
