Chapter 38


    Chapter 38 Check on Him


    It wasn’t Waldron who answered the phone.


    She quickly asked, “What happened to him?”


    “He’s been in a car ident. Notify the rest of his family.”


    There was a “boom” in udia’s mind. Her entire body froze in ce. She did not even notice that the


    person had hung up.


    How did Waldron get into a car ident?


    He always drove so well.


    udia froze for a few seconds and immediately ran in the direction the two girls had juste from.


    Edmond pulled her back and asked in a low voice, “Where are you going?”


    udia was cold, her tone weak and anxious. “Waldron’s been in a car ident, and I’m going to


    check on him.”


    Watching udia stumble off on her feet, Edmond stared at her back, his eyes cold.


    Rodney in the car stuck his head out and sighed.


    “Mrs. Lamont was so concerned about Mr. Waldron. She may have really cheated.”


    “Shut up.” Edmond nced coldly at him and walked quickly toward


    the front as well.


    Rosalie saw udia and Edmond from a distance. Her eyes light up. She walked over quickly.


    “Have you finished your formalities?” Unable to contain her inner joy, she spoke briskly.


    udia simply ignored her and ran at a fast pace.


    Not getting an answer, Rosalie followed relentlessly.


    “Edmond, your divorce paperwork…


    “It’s not done yet.” There was some impatience in Edmond’s voice, too.


    Rosalie froze and smiled wryly, “So where are you guys going now? Isn’t the courthouse right next


    door?


    As long as Edmond and udia don’t go through with the divorce, she would always have to be


    treated like a mistress.


    udia was already worried about Waldron, and now she felt Rosalie’s words buzzing like a fly.


    She stood still, nced coldly at Edmond, and said, “Can you control your woman? What a racket.”


    Edmond didn’t say anything and gave Rosalie a faint look. Rosalie’s face flushed. “I was just being kind


    enough to warn you so you wouldn’t go the wrong way.”


    udia knew Rosalie’s thoughts and said coldly, “I don’t need you to remind me.”


    It was only a matter of time before she and Edmond got divorced, but Rosalie was just too obviously


    anxious.


    Hearing udia speak harshly, Rosalie moved closer to Edmond in


    aggravation. However, Edmond walked quickly as well, as if he didn’t see her face, and he walked


    forward with udia.


    Rosalie didn’t know what was going on up ahead and was too afraid to ask, so she could only follow


    behind.


    Waiting to walk to a crowded area, Rosalie stood on her feet.


    udia rushed into the crowd just in time to see Waldron, covered in blood, being carried into an


    ambnce.


    “Waldron!” rushed udia in a muf fled voice.


    The nurse stopped her immediately. “May I ask if you are the patient’s family?”


    udia nodded without thinking.


    “Then get in the car. The family will need to do the paperwork.”


    After udia got in the car, Edmond followed her.


    Rosalie froze at the sight of the broken limousine.


    That person actually stopped Waldron in such an extreme way, so she was suddenly chilled with fear.


    She scrambled to open her phone and saw a text message: “Done.”


    After reading it, she hastily deleted the message.


    Watching as Edmond got into the ambnce as well, Rosalie yed it cool and intended to go up as


    well, being pushed away by udia.


    udia’s eyes were cold to the bone. “You and Waldron aren’t family, so there’s no need for you to go


    with us.”


    The nurse closed the door in a hurry.


    Watching the car whi zzing away, Rosalie was angry and panicked.


    Edmond wasn’t rted to Waldron either, so how did he get in the ambnce?


    What did udia mean by this? Did udia know that she was Waldron’s biological sister?.


    Inside the ambnce,  udia held her breath as she watched the nurse administer first aid to


    Waldron. His face was blo ody, and her eyes were filled with tears.


    Spending time with Waldron these days had made udia think of Waldron as a friend and family


    member for a long time. The feelings of guilt grew stronger at the thought that he had been in a car


    ident on his way to pick her up.


    Edmond saw her sad face and thought of the night her grandmother died and how she was the same


    way like she was abandoned by the world.


    “The car was badly damaged, and it was a big truck that hit him. The driver fled.” Edmond hesitated,


    telling her the first thing he’d learned from his investigation, trying to distract her.


    Hearing the driver flee, udia looked up at him.


    “Don’t worry. The police are already after him.”


    udia nodded, thinking of Edmond apanying herself to the car and wanting to ask why he had


    followed her up, but ultimately didn’t.


    He had also known Waldron for years, and it was normal for him to want to be there to help.


    Edmond’s handsome face was cold, his dark eyes narrowed and fell on her like they were trying to


    burn her.


    In the Friedan’s manor, Thomas was still reeling from finding his daughter.


    Ervin and Derrick were sitting in the living room, their eyes darting toward the door every now and then,


    “Why isn’t Waldron here yet? Didn’t he say he was going to surprise us?” Derrick picked up a book andThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    read it in boredom.


    “Soon.” Ervin grinned and narrowed his eyes, and was in an excited mood.


    Waldron rarely called them together so formally, and since Waldron said it was a surprise, it was a big


    deal.


    Just then, Thomas’ cell phone rang.


    Several eyes focused on his cell phone.


    Thomas nced at the caller ID. It was the director of Wellfort Central Hospital, an old friend of his.


    He picked up the phone with a grin, “Why are you free to call me today?”


    “Thomas,e to the hospital. Your son was hit by a car.”


    Thomas stood up so violently that his cell phone snapped to the floor.


    The director’s voice was amplified for all in the room to hear.


    “It’s not looking good, and you’d better be prepared.”


    Thomas cked out, his eyes closed, and he fell backward.


    “Dad!”


    ***


    At the hospital, udia stood outside the resuscitation room and broke down into a crouch.


    All the way there, she couldn’t look Waldron in the face.


    She was guilty.


    “It’s all me…” If she hadn’t asked Waldron toe over, there might not have been a car ident.


    “There’s nothing to do with you.” Edmond lowered his eyes and crouched down, watching her


    shoulders shake vulnerably, and felt the urge to take her into his arms.


    Eventually curbing the emotion, he said in a low, husky voice, “There’s something weird about this


    crash. The surveince shows that the car followed him the whole way, so it could be an intentional


    killing.”


    If it was an intentional killing, it had nothing to do with her.


    Edmond pursed his lips, and his heart tightened as he watched her


    move.


    Just then, a few people came running over in a hurry.


    It was Ervin and Derrick.


    Derrick’s face was horribly grim as he took a step towards udia.


    “Didn’t Waldron go to get you? Why is he lying in there, and you’re not doing anything at all?”


    udia didn’t say anything, and her body shuddered.


    Derrick reached out and yanked her to her feet. “Why? You tell me! He said he was going to bring you


    to show us a surprise! Is this the


    surprise you wanted to show us?”
