Seeing her like this, J was startled, "What''s wrong? Did something happen to Edna?"
Delia shook her head. "Miss Edna is fine..."
Hearing that Edna was okay, J breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, as long as Edna''s alright.”
Delia continued, "It''s Darleen who''s in trouble. Miss Edna said on the phone... Darleen, in her attempt to find the young master, got identally hit by
a car!"
"Hit by a car?”
Hearing this, J was visibly shocked and immediately stood up from her chair, "What happened exactly?"
Delia went on, "I''m not entirely sure about the details. Miss Edna mentioned that Darleen is still in emergency care. She was worried you''d be anxious
and specifically asked me not to tell you! But I couldn''t keep this from you; my conscience wouldn''t allow it... after all, Darleen got into this situation
because of something to do with the young master..."N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
J couldn''t believe that Darleen was in trouble and asked, "Which hospital are they at now?"
"I think they''re at Lifeline Medical Facility,” Delia answered.
J hurriedly said, "Quick, contact the driver! I need to go to Lifeline Medical Facility immediately!”
Gerard was standing upstairs, overlooking everything happening below.
The plot Edna and her daughter had cooked up was not bad!
But no matter how they yed their parts, he would never allow Edna to marry into the family. Never!
J quickly arrived at Lifeline Medical Facility.
Darleen was still in the ER.
Edna was sitting outside on a blue stic chair, crying her eyes out, "Darleen, you can''t be in trouble. If something happens to you, how am I
supposed to go on?"
"Edna!"
J quickly approached her.
Seeing J, Edna locked incredulous, "J! How did you find out? I... I didn''t want you to know..."
J cut her off, reproaching, "You child! Such a serious matter, and you thought to keep it from me! Is Darleen okay?"
This kid, just too kind-hearted!
J sighed internally, her eyes full ofpassion.
"I didn''t want you to worry," Edna sobbed.
Just then, the door to the emergency room opened, and a doctor came out.
Edna immediately approached, "Doctor, how''s my daughter?"
J chimed in, "Doctor, money is no object for our family! Please, do everything you can to save my granddaughter!”
The doctor pulled down his mask, smiling, "Fortunately, she was brought in on time, so the patient is no longer in danger.”
Edna then asked, "My daughter is about to take her SATs; will this affect her exams?"
The doctor hesitated, then replied, "As long as she gets proper rest, it shouldn''t affect her SATs.”
"Doctor! Thank you!" Edna bowed deeply to the doctor, overwhelmed with gratitude.
Hearing that Darleen was okay, J also let out a sigh of relief.
The doctor continued, "The patient has been moved to a room now; you should go see her."
Edna and J went to the room
Darleen had a head injury, with bandages wrapped around her head, looking very weak.

"We found him! Yes!" J nodded repeatedly, "Darleen, don''t worry, Gerry is safe now. You just focus on getting better.”
Darleen sniffled, crying, "J, I''m sorry, it''s all my fault. I caused you to misunderstand Gerry... I''m sorry..."
