Chapter 385 You Fell In Love With Her
Tiffany’s lips trembled as she stared intently at the white cloth on the bed. “Who is this?”
“A victim of a drunk driving car accident. He was brought here an hour ago, but we couldn’t save him. Why, do you know him?” the doctor said.
Tiffany instinctively let out a sigh of relief when she heard that. This doctor has seen Derrick before. If he doesn’t know who this victim is, then it probably isn’t Derrick.
“No. I got a call from a doctor saying Derrick was involved in a car accident, so Amelia and I came rushing over as soon as we could. Do you know where he is?” Tiffany asked anxiously with her hands tightly clasped.
The doctor gave it some thought and replied, “Mr. Hisson isn’t among the car accident victims that were brought here, so it’s possible that the nurses made a mistake. I’ve been in this operating theater for an hour now. Maybe you could try calling Mr. Hisson again? There must be some kind of mistake. Anyway, I have some other stuff to take care of, so I’ll be on my way now.”
Right as they were racking their brains trying to figure out where Oscar and Derrick were, Tiffany got a call from Charles.
Although a little disappointed, she answered the phone anyway.
“Hey, Tiffany! Derrick and Oscar are currently in my office. Where are you? You can come straight to my office if you’re in the hospital,” Charles said.
“What? Derrick is with you? All right, Amelia and I are coming over right now!” Tiffany shouted excitedly before hanging up the phone.
With tears of joy in her eyes, she grabbed Amelia by the hand and said, “They’re fine, Babe! They’re in Charles’ office at the moment. Come on, let’s go see them!”
“Yeah, let’s go!” Amelia replied with reddened eyes.
She felt as if she had been brought back to life and could finally breathe again.
Tiffany and Amelia rushed into Charles’ office the moment he opened the door for them. Derrick and Oscar could be seen sitting inside with their arms covered in bandages. “Derrick, are you okay? How did you get yourself into an accident like this?” Tiffany asked worriedly as she ran to his side.
Amelia, who was unable to see, asked with her arms outstretched, “Where are you, Oscar?”
“Here, I’ll take you to him,” Kurt said while holding her hand.
Before he could do anything, however, Oscar stepped forward and shot him a complicated look. Kurt instinctively took a step back to give them some space.
Kurt had always been a man of few words, but he spoke even less after Oscar showed up. Seeing Amelia love Oscar so much had worsened the pain in his heart, and he could feel a bunch of mixed emotions raging about within him.
“I’m fine, Amelia. Don’t worry,” Oscar said gently.
As Amelia frantically felt his body to assess his condition, she accidentally touched his wounded left arm, causing Oscar to grunt in pain.
“What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” Amelia was worried sick about him, and the fact that she couldn’t see only worsened her anxiety.
“I’m all right. It’s just a wound on my arm, that’s all,” Oscar said casually.
He then sat her down on the chair as he continued, “Derrick and I were on our way back when we encountered a truck that was going really fast. The drunk driver lost control, and his truck came speeding toward us. Fortunately, Derrick is a skilled driver and managed to dodge the incoming truck in time. Even so, we ended up crashing into the guard rail on the side. We were lucky enough to get away with some minor injuries on our arms. That truck then rammed into another car shortly after. There were three middle-aged men in the truck, and two young men in the car. We were all rushed to the hospital as soon as the ambulance arrived. My phone fell out when we hit the guard rail, and Derrick’s phone had ran out of battery. That’s why we had the nurse call you to inform you that we’re both safe.”
The mere thought of something like that happening to Oscar sent a shiver down Amelia’s spine.
“Thank goodness you’re all right, Oscar! Please don’t ever scare me like this again! My heart almost stopped when the nurse told us you and Derrick were sent to the hospital! I’ll do anything you want as long as you stay safe! I’ll go back to the city with you once my eyes are all better! I don’t care if Mom doesn’t like me. I’ll beg her for forgiveness or something. I won’t make things difficult for you, Oscar!” she said submissively.
Amelia felt like her entire world had come crashing down on her the moment she heard about Oscar’s potential death. Nothing else seemed to matter in the face of life-and-death situations. She was willing to agree to anything as long as Oscar was safe.
Oscar gently caressed her cheeks and frowned when he felt how cold her skin was. “Why is your face so cold?”
Amelia placed her hand over his as she replied, “I’m fine. I was just scared by the news of your accident, that’s all. I’ll be fine now that I know you’re safe. Oscar, I want you to inform me if anything happens in the future. I don’t want to hear about you from someone else, okay? People tend to miscommunicate, and it can really scare me to death. Once is more than enough. I don’t want to experience something like this ever again!”
Oscar gently pulled her into his embrace. “I’m sorry for making you worry. It won’t happen again.”
Amelia smiled as she leaned against his chest. The sound of his steady heartbeat reassured her that everything was all right.
Seeing such a scene hurt Kurt’s heart so much that it felt like it was being pierced by countless needles, and he decided to leave the room silently. He had just stepped out the door when he saw Hugo standing outside.
The two exchanged glances, and Kurt simply flashed him a wry smile in response.
Hugo looked at the closed doors behind Kurt. “Let’s go get a drink.”
Kurt nodded without saying a word, and the two of them left the hospital.
They sat down at a nearby pub where they ordered food and some beers.
Hugo opened two bottles and handed Kurt one before raising his own as he said, “Cheers.”
Kurt clinked bottles with him before chugging his drink down aggressively.
Hugo had a rough idea as to what happened when he saw that. “Let me guess, you fell in love with Mrs. Clinton?”
Kurt paused and stared at Hugo without saying anything.
“It’s obvious that you’re a lovelorn man, Kurt. You can’t hide it from me.” Hugo took another sip of his beer as he continued, “You know Mrs. Clinton belongs to Boss, and yet you fell for her anyway? Aren’t you afraid of what Boss might do to you if he finds out? He trained us, remember? None of us is a match for him if he so much as decides to take action against you.”
Kurt fell silent. The look in his eyes grew increasingly conflicted, and he felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his chest.
