Chapter 387 Car Accident
Chapter 387 Car Accident
“Someone has done something to the car.” although Chloe Malan didn’t say this, but he felt that something was off with the accident, “Go to the parking lot of Baohua Temple to check who did it.”
He didn’t pay attention to her for only half a day and an accident happened.
Olive Steele watched the oil gauge went down all the way and her nervous heart was relieved a little.
She was sweating that her clothes was soaked.
She thought that when she was going to get over it, a dog suddenly jumped into the lane followed by a child.
She slammed the steering wheel for fear of hitting the child and hit the roadside flower bed instead.
She only heard bang and screaming. She wanted to ask Chloe Malan and her mother of they were okay, but suddenly everything was dark. She had no clue what’s going on.
When she woke up, she found herself lying on the hospital. She opened her eyes and saw a full moon up there in the sky. The city light was glowing bright.
Her head hurt, her left arm couldn’t be lifted, and her legs were heavy. Her whole body was a mess.
Everything was faint and floating as if she was having a dream, but it was dark. She heard someone calling her name over and over again. She wanted to answer, but her mouth was zipped. She could hardly open her eyes.
At that moment, she felt that her hand was being held.
She woke up and tried to sit up. He was stupefied for a small second before reaching out and touching her face, “You’re awake.”
“I’m sorry. I must have worried you.” the palm holding her hand was familiar.
“You scared me to death. I think I have to put you in a 24/7 monitoring in the future.”
“My mother and Chloe, are they okay?” she asked anxiously.
“Don’t worry. They only suffered a little bruise. They have gone home to rest.”
Olive Steele breathed a sigh of relief. At that time, she knew she couldn’t escape the time. She could only try to minimize the impact of the car crash on them.
Something popped in her mind. She finally told him, “Babe, I think someone mess with my car.”
“Do you have anyone in mind?” when Kent Bai went to the temple to check the parking lot, he found out that the place was open and there were many cars. There was no surveillance camera either. It would be better if she could provide a clue right now.
“I don’t know, Ophelia? Chloe and I met her and your mother in the temple.”
“Why don’t you think that it’s my mother?”
She shook her head, “It wasn’t her. She had a conversation with me in the hall. I could feel that her rejection and hostility were not as strong as before, probably because I saved her. But, Ophelia had a verbal clash with Chloe, but I just couldn’t figure out how she managed to find people to do it in such a short time. She didn’t know that we were there in the first place.”
Alan Hoyle kissed her forehead, “Give me a little time. I will uphold justice for you.”
It was about time to end all these nonsense.
“Very well.” she nodded, “what time is it?”
“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
“What about you? Have you eaten?” she stroked his head. She was worried that this man would forget to take care of him own self, “Let’s order fish, stirred fried veggies, and stewed ribs with sweet potato.”
“Okay.” as long as she wanted it, he would get it for her.
Olive Steele watched him made a phone call and ordered the food to her likings. This man really did love her.
When the food arrived, she wanted to get out of bed and started eating, but he stopped her, “Don’t move. I’ll feed you.”
He used chopstick to feed her. She couldn’t help laughing, “I feel like a baby. Here comes the train, say ah~”
“You’re indeed a big baby.” Alan Hoyle stroked her hair and fed her. After she was done eating, he wet a towel and rubbed her face in the gentlest way.
“Does it hurt?”
“It hurts.” she lied, “Do you want to blow it for me? It won’t hurt of you blow it right.”
Olive Steele had learned a thing or two from her daughter. He gently kissed her face. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
On the other side of the world, Aoba Hoyle grabbed Chloe Malan’s clothes. She was unhappy about it. She kicked him off the bed.
Baohua Temple, old witch, Ophelia Meyer, brake failure…
She suddenly turned over and stared straight to the ceiling, “Let me tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“Today is not an accident.” in fact, she wanted to tell Alan Hoyle this from the start, but she didn’t want to scare him.
“Do you mean something orchestrated it?”
“When we left, the car was in a good condition. It was almost impossible for the brake to suddenly fail.” She was telling him that Mrs. Hoyle and Ophelia Meyer were in the temple at the same time as them, “Well, of course the main target was Olive. Me and my godmother were incidental casualties.”
“My mother won’t do something like this.”
“It’s not that I suspect your mother. It’s just that she has possible motives, but the most important thing here is Ophelia. If only you had seen the hatred in her eyes when she saw Olive. I swear even Buddha will fear her. I don’t know whether it was her personal agenda or a collaborative one with your mother. It is probably one of them. I’m just guessing.”
“Believe me, my mother won’t do something like that. It’s not her style. She will use money to send people away.”
“Well, she’s your mother. It’s only natural for you to defend her. Sleep. We have to wake up early in the morning tomorrow to visit Olive.” she didn’t want to argue with him on this matter. It was a waste of breath to tell this man that his mother was crooked.
She believed that Olive Steele must have had the same suspicion, but she didn’t know whether Olive Steele would tell Alan Hoyle about it or not for she liked to bury things for herself. But, if Olive Steele wouldn’t tell, Chloe Malan would. She wouldn’t let go of Ophelia Meyer easily this time.
However, she had most of her bet on Ophelia Meyer. The old witch, Mrs. Hoyle didn’t seem to be hostile today. But, again, the old lady’s mind was hard to guess. Only God knew what trick she was playing.
Early in the morning, all the family member woke up and went to the hospital. Aoba Hoyle was too. They rushed to Olive Steele’s ward. When they looked at her laughing and talking, the big stone weighing their mind all night fell to the ground.
Mr. Steele said to Alan Hoyle, “You have stayed up all night. You should go back and get some sleep.”
“It’s okay.” Alan Hoyle wanted to keep his wife close. He felt at ease when he looked at her.
Olive Steele stroked his head, “Be obedient. Go back and get some sleep. You can come back again tonight to accompany me.”
He didn’t sleep much last night. After midnight, he narrowed his eyes and lied on the sofa, but it was uncomfortable for him.
“Dad, I’m here. I will take a good care of mommy.” Annie said.
Alan Hoyle picked up his daughter and kissed her, “You have to be good, okay?”
Annie learned from Olive Steele and stroked his head, “You too have to be good.”
The little girl made everyone laughed.
Alan Hoyle couldn’t help laughing too. His fatigue seemed to be lifted up from his body, “Well, if you need anything, you can use mommy’s phone to call daddy.”
“Okay!”
“I’ll go back and come back later.” Alan Hoyle said to his wife.
He left the room and Chloe Malan followed, “Alan, wait.”
“What’s the matter?” he turned around and asked.
Chloe Malan pulled him into a quiet corner and told him her guessed she had last night.
Alan Hoyle looked at her, “I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful this time.”
“What? You don’t believe me?”
“Olive guessed the same. I will deal with this matter myself. I suggest you focus on your relationship with Aoba. You have to decide whether you are serious or that he is only a rebound. Think carefully or else, you will regret it later.” Alan Hoyle dropped the word and left without waiting for her to reply.
Chloe Malan froze for a moment. She felt like the dark corner of her heart was being exposed to the sun. Now, she had nothing to hide.
Before leaving the hospital, Alan Hoyle went to see a doctor.
“My wife’s sight is sometimes blurry. What does this mean?”
