“Miss Linsey! Hold on tight!”
In the face of the sudden situation, Verda had to turn the steering wheel to the right sharply.

Cecelia, in the back seat, tilted suddenly. She quickly grabbed onto the handrest to steady herself.
Instantly, their car collided head–on with the other vehicle, producing a loud, jarring crash.
“Bang…”
The ident had be inevitable.
After the collision, their car crashed into the right–side guardrail. Due to its high speed, the other car
flipped over and skidded on the ground for several meters before stopping.
After the intense collision, there was a brief silence inside the car. Both Verda and Cecelia had fallen
into unconsciousness due to the ident.
Meanwhile, outside the hotel entrance, Petunia and Maggie had already gotten into their car. Both of
them witnessed the ident happening.
Petunia eximed in shock, “That was the car Cecelia was in, right?”
“Yes.”
Maggie replied in a cold tone and instructed the driver, “Let’s go!”
Their car drove away. Petunia thought about calling the police, but in the end, she didn’t make the call.
Selfishness had taken hold of her heart. It would be better if Cecelia had a fatal ident, wouldn’t it?
Then there would be one less obstacle for her.
Petunia and Maggie seemed indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with them, and they left
without offering help.
After a while, Cecelia gradually regained consciousness.
Her head had hit the back of the front seat, and her body was sore from multiple impacts. Upon waking,
she realized that Verda was slumped over the steering wheel, motionless.
Their car’s front end was severely damaged.

“Verda! Verda…”

No matter how Cecelia called out, Verda still didn’t respond. Cecelia forced herself to stay calm,
immediately reaching for her phone and dialing the emergency number.
After calling 911, she also contacted Remington..
Receiving Cecelia’s call, Remington asked, “Cece, I’m taking Doris home first. I’ll wait for you at the
Nelson family’s estate.”
“Remington, I had a car ident…”
“What? Where are you now?”
“Near the hotel…”
“Are you alright? Did you get hurt?”
“I’m fine, but Verda is badly hurt…”
Cecelia’s tone was anxious. She had exited the car, opened the driver’s side door, and found Verda
covered in blood, her injuries
severe.
“Call 911 first; I’m on my way!”
Remington’s car suddenly made a U–turn in the middle of the road. and returned to the hotel.
When they arrived at the ident scene, police cars and
ambnces were already there. Some médical workers were lifting Verda out of the vehicle.
“Cece!”
Remington sprinted over to Cecelia.
“How is Verda?”
“He’s pretty badly hurt! I hope he’ll be okay,” Cecelia said with at heavy heart as she looked at Verda.
Remington nced at Verda on the stretcher, his head covered in blood, clearly indicating the
collision’s severity.
“Are you injured too?”
“I’m fine! We need to find out the cause of the ident!”
Cecelia had a scrape on her forehead, butpared to Verda’s injuries, hers seemed insignificant.

“I know.”
The ambnce first took Verda to the hospital, with Remington arranging for Fredric to apany
him. The police then

investigated the cause of the ident and took Cecelia’s statement.
They also started looking into the information of the individuals involved in the other vehicle.
Remington had his people assist the police in their investigation, essing the hotel’s surveince
footage to see what had happened during the ident.
“Come with me first!”
Remington supported Cecelia and helped her into the car. Doris noticed the blood on Cecelia’s
forehead and grew worried. “Mommy, you’re bleeding!”
“I am okay.”
Cecelia held her daughter close, her mind still reeling from the recent ident. If Verda hadn’t reacted
quickly, they might not have survived the crash.
Remington let his mother care for Doris at the Nelson family’s estate. He then helped Cecelia tend to
her wounds.
He carefully treated her minor injuries and asked, “Luckily, they’re only minor cuts on the surface. Do
you feel anything else?”
“No, I’m fine. I need to go to the hospital to check on Verda.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.”
The two of them immediately headed to the hospital. They entered the emergency room and saw
Fredric waiting outside.
“How’s he doing?” Remington asked.
“He’s already been taken in for emergency treatment,” Fredric told them.
For now, all they could do was wait.
After waiting for over an hour, the emergency surgery was finallypleted. Cecelia was the first to
rush over when they saw the doctoring out.
“Doctor, how is the patient doing now?”
The doctor told Cecelia. “The patient suffered a severe head injury

with bleeding in the brain. We ‘managed to provide timely treatment, but whether he can regain
consciousness depends on his recovery ability.”
After sharing the information, the doctor left. Cecelia said with a heavy heart. “Verda did his best to
prevent the ident. What if he doesn’t wake up?”
“Don’t worry too much. He’ll wake up.”
Remington reassured her.
After waiting another ten minutes, nurses wheeled Verda out of the emergency room and into the ICU.
Seeing Verda’s head wrapped in bandages, Cecelia sighed deeply, praying for him and hoping he
would wake up soon.
“Cecelia!”
Hearing someone call her, Cecelia turned her head and saw Shepard approaching. “Shepard.”
“Why are you all here? Who got into an ident?”
Shepard walked closer and greeted everyone with nods.
“We had an ident just now. My subordinate, Verda, was seriously injured and had surgery.”
“Did you get injured too?” Shepard noticed the wound on Cecelia’s forehead.
“Just a minor cut.”
Shepard looked serious. “You’d better get checked out to rule out the risk of concussion.”
Cecelia felt it might not be necessary, but Shepard and Remington advised her to do so. “Just have a
check–up to put our minds at ease. I’ll go with you.”
And so Cecelia got an X–ray done as well. After Shepard examined the results and confirmed that her
brain was fine, everyone felt relieved.
Remington received a call and said, “Cece, they’ve found out some information over there. I need to go
take a look.
“Okay! Go ahead!”
Cecelia stayed with Shepard while Remington left the hospital.

Everest, who had received the news, rushed to the hospital with the children.
When they saw Cecelia, the children gathered around. “Mommy, are you okay?”
“I am fine.”
Everest, with a worried expression, asked, “Cecelia, how’s Verda?”
“He’s had emergency surgery and is now in the ICU.”
Cecelia turned towards the ICU ward. Everest and the children walked up to the ss window, looking
inside.
A bitter concern rose in her heart as Everest saw Verda wrapped in bandages.
Despite their yful bickering and his frequent jokes, he was the man who treated her the best and
warmed her heart the most.
She didn’t want anything to happen to him; she hoped he would wake up soon.
“Why did the ident happen all of a sudden?” Everest, her eyes. red?ening, asked Cecelia.
Before Cecelia could answer, Remington’s call came in. “Cece, we’ve figured out the cause of the
ident. You won’t believe who did it!”
“Who did it?”
