Chapter 241


    "As you can see, both of us are pregnant. We''ll be huffing and puffing after a few steps. How would


    we have the energy to go to ces with you? Come on, just go somewhere and kill time by


    yourself. I gotta go, I have things to do. I''ll call you tomorrow."


    It was not that I did not want to go have fun with him, but my body could not take strenuous


    activities. Besides, it was almost time for the yoga ss that Theo had signed me up for.


    I left the coffee shop and went straight to the yoga ss.


    Even though the sses catered for expecting mothers were rtively rxed and within my


    capabilities, I was sore all over before the 20-minute session was up as it was my first time, after all.


    I proceeded to sit behind the ss and cut myself some ck. I was really unfit for exercise.


    "Ms. Lane, your phone has been ringing," the employee there walked up to me and said


    I just remembered that I left my phone charging at the front desk. I walked over and found that it


    was Theo calling me.


    "Are you at the yoga ss? Something happened to


    Mason and Cecilia. I''lle to get you." Theo''s anxious voice sounded on the phone.


    Something had happened. My mind was nk and the phone in my hand fell to the floor.


    "Are you there, Wanda? Don''t worry, they''ve been sent t o the hospital and they should be okay.”


    Theo was worried since he did not hear a reply from me in a while.


    They were fine just now! What happened to them? I had no time to ask any more questions. I


    picked up m y phone and asked Theo to hurry. I then quickly went t o change out of my yoga


    clothes.


    I did not care about being sweaty, I did not even bother showering. I changed into clean clothes and


    rushed out of the yoga center.


    As soon as I stepped out of the door, Theo''s car arrived. I got into the car and asked frantically,


    "What i n the world happened?!"


    "I''m not too sure of the details either, but I know that they got into this ident together. They’re


    now in the emergency department of the People''s Hospital."


    Emergency department?!


    That term drained all the energy out of me and I nearly passed out. Theo patted me gently on the


    shoulder without saying much. He stomped on the elerator and headed toward the hospital.


    We rushed all the way there, and when we got to the hospital, I jogged anxiously to the operating


    room in the emergency department. I lost my bnce and nearly fell down in front of the operating


    room door because I was moving too quickly.

    Thankfully, Theo grabbed me from behind and persuaded me to sit down on the benches along the


    corridor. "Don''t worry, just be good and sit here for now. I''ll go see what’s going on.”


    "Go, quickly!” My tears were flowing uncontrobly. I did not bother wiping them off as I urged Theo


    to assess the situation.


    From the other side, Zedd ran all the way here too.


    Theo quickly came back and said, "A roadside coffee stall copsed when the two of them were


    patronizing it, so they got hurt. But Cecilia''s not badly injured. She just has injuries on her arms and


    head. Her wounds are being treated now.”


    My tightly wounded heart calmed down a little, but when I saw the red luminescent light above the


    door o f the operating room, I asked, "What about Doctor Lynch?”


    "All thanks to your best friend, he''s still fighting for his life. Both of you are truly besties since the


    way you gue the lives of others is exactly the same," Zedd, who was at the side, spoke unkindly.


    "Please watch your words, President Nichols. This was an ident, so how is it her fault? She was


    hurt too!" I was unhappy, so I snapped at him.


    "How is it not? If not for your best friend''s pestering, Mason wouldn''t have been in a dingy roadside


    coffee stall!" Zedd retorted.


    Even though the word ''pestering'' was a little exaggerated, I had to admit that he was right. Mason


    was not the kind of person who would frequent a roadside coffee stall.


    I did not reply to him and turned to Theo. "Were they the only ones who got injured?”


    "The stall owner and another customer were hurt too. I t was fortunate that it was in the afternoon


    when there wasn’t a huge crowd." Theo''s eyes were fixed on the operating room, his expression


    was solemn.


    When I imagined the scene of the incident as well as how terrified and helpless Cecilia must have


    felt, I was grateful that she did not sustain major injuries. I felt a tinge of remorse, and my body


    shivered uncontrobly.


    Zedd sneered. "You’re only afraid now? Wanda Lane, both of you are bad news. Whoever''s with


    you will find themselves drowning in bad luck."


    "Can you keep it down, Zedd?" Theo barked impatiently.


    Only then did Zedd keep his mouth shut and backed off indignantly. Even so, he was still ring at


    me.


    Cindy ran toward us from afar as she asked anxiously, "How''s Mason?"


    Zedd saw how she was panting and gently patted her back whileforting tenderly, "Don''t worry,


    he''s still in there."


    "Theowy..." Cindy turned to Theo.
