Chapter 48
Jim was infuriated. He pressed on the accelerator without thinking and drove towards Abel’s Hummer without thinking. His sports car then collided with the Hummer.
The moment the cars collided harshly with each other; the intense impact caused Jim’s body to jerk forward. When he tried to sit back in the car seat, he hit his arm on the car door.
He hissed in pain. He could tell that he had hurt his left arm.
Abel sat in his Hummer. He did not mind the dents and scratches on his car at all.
He faced Jim, who was seated in his sports car, and spoke up in an arrogant tone. “What a weakling! You’ve underestimated your own abilities!”
After speaking, he started his car and drove away at once. Jim punched his steering wheel angrily. His fist hurt so much that he clenched his teeth.
When Skyler picked up Jim’s call, Jim was in an ambulance.
Despite how painful Jim’s arm was, he could not stop himself from speaking. He told Skyler about everything. “Skyler, you don’t know how arrogant that rascal was. F*ck him! He pointed his middle finger at me and even told me that he did everything on purpose. I almost exploded in rage. I’ll murder him after getting discharged!” Skyler replied to him in a flat tone, “How amazing. You tried hitting his car, but you ended up getting hurt instead!”
Jim did not back down. “He was the one who challenged me first. He hit my car first! That rascal must have caused trouble with me on purpose because we brought away the designer from your company last night!” Skyler felt slightly speechless. “Quit the nonsense. You were driving a sports car. Why would you
try hitting a Hummer? Are you brainless? If you really wanted to hit his car, you should drive a tank and smash him to pieces the next time!”
Jim had been feeling rather aggrieved. However, he lit up in joy after hearing what Skyler said. “You’re right!”
Skyler hung up on the phone and rushed to the hospital straight away.
Meanwhile, Jocelyn watched Lexie fall asleep in her ward. She then got up to purchase some daily necessities for Lexie.
There was a large market on the east side of Claude Hospital. However, one had to cross a small alley by the hospital to access the market.
Jocelyn was still thinking about how she should tell Davis about Lexie getting hospitalized. She then heard a panicked voice ringing out from the depths of the alley.
“Drag him over at once! Don’t let anyone see him! Beat him to death!”
Immediately after, the sound of kicks and punches rang out. Angry shouts and curses were blended in among the noise as well. “Don’t you enjoy acting all righteous, you hypocrite? You’ll lose the ability to have righteous grandsons after today!”
Jocelyn frowned. She did not need to guess to know what had happened over there.
She pondered upon it for a few seconds and took out her phone at once. She searched for the audio of a police car’s sirens online and started playing it in a loop.
She held her phone and ran toward the alley while shouting, “The police are here!” Panicked footsteps rang out in the alley. “Stop hitting him! Hurry up and leave! The police are coming!”
“Hurry up, the police siren is ringing just outside the alley!”
Jocelyn heard the hurried footsteps of those men running away. It seemed like they had run toward the other end of the alley.
She headed toward the area where the group of men had been beating someone up just now and walked over furtively.
As she walked closer, she caught sight of a man in a gunny sack. He had fallen the ground, and he seemed to be trying to escape from the sack. Jocelyn walked over in a hurry. She helped the man to remove the sack from his head. Jocelyn did not expect a handsome face to appear before her after removing the sack. In the past, Jocelyn assumed that people were exaggerating when they described men being as delicate asjade and incomparably handsome. She thought these descriptions only applied to people from the faraway past.
However, she felt that these descriptors were not exaggerated at all when she saw the man before her. This man looked as fine and delicate as pure jade. He was fair and handsome as well.
He was completely different from Skyler, who was suffocatingly handsome and had an angular
face.
Humans tended to be attracted by good-looking things. Jocelyn stared at the man in a daze. The man then spoke up in a warm tone, “Miss, you were the one who played the audio of the police sirens, right?”
Jocelyn immediately returned to her senses. She did not expect him to be smart and good looking NôvelDrama.Org content.
She pulled him up at once. “Let’s go out first. It’d be bad if those men returned!” The man nodded, and they both left the alley in a hurry. After arriving on the street, they let out sighs of relief.
Jocelyn looked at the wound on the man’s face. He should have gotten hurt after being beaten up just now. She was rather worried. “Are you alright?”
The man shook his head and said, “It’s nothing much. I just got beaten a few times. It doesn’t hurt. Right, I haven’t introduced myself to you!”
He reached out his hand and greeted her. “Nice to meet you, I’m Zayn Claude. Thank you for helping me just now!”
If it were not for Jocelyn , he would have undoubtedly left with more severe injuries than he did.
Jocelyn was slightly stunned when she heard his name. Zayn Claude. Why did it sound so familiar?
Suddenly, a notice that she had seen flashed across her name. She widened her eyes at once.” You’re the director of Claude Hospital?”
A look of shock flashed across Zayn’s face. “Do you know me?”
