Chapter 1171
Aleigha was really scared that Charlotte was gonna leave her again.
When the light finally appeared and someone lifted Charlotte out, Aleigha calmed down a little.
"Girl, give me your hand." A middle-aged man held out his hand to Aleigha.
The man tried to pull her up, but she didn't even have the strength to stand up. She gritted her teeth.
"Sir, I'm fine. Please take my grandaunt to the hospital. I'm hanging in there."
"Wait a minute, young lady. I'm gonna get you some more help."
The man got up and went for help. Aleigha raised her head and looked around desperately. When she finally saw an ambulance, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, the man came back. Aleigha did not dare to move. The gnawing pain blurred her consciousness.
All of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain in her legs. The man had picked her up.
"Are you alright, young lady?"
Aleigha shook her head. The pain was so intense that she had no strength left. Even a smile could exhaust her. "I'm fine. Thank you."
She was sent to the hospital. It was two days later when she came out of the operating room and regained consciousness. The police came in to make a record, and she recalled what she had gone through. Fortunately, Charlotte had been rescued in time and was out of danger. She was lying on the bed beside Aleigha.
At this moment, Charlotte was looking at Aleigha with her eyes were full of tears. "Aleigha, it's okay."
Aleigha nodded. "Thank God you're fine."
As soon as Charlotte woke up, she heard from the doctor that they had a serious car accident. Fortunately, they were wearing seat belts, and the injuries were not that serious. Charlotte knew the one who saved her was actually Aleigha, who offered to have her taken to the hospital first.
By the time Aleigha got to the hospital, she had lost too much blood and was unconscious.
Fortunately, her life didn't end there.
The driver who caused the accident had been arrested for drunk driving.
Aleigha knew it was not just a traffic accident. If she was right, the driver would apologize in public later.
This matter had a great impact. That driver was severely punished.
At noon on the third day, the Gardners arrived at the hospital. As soon as they entered the door, Lainey burst into tears.
Charlotte pretended not to see her fake grief. She just talked to Dustin.
"Sis, you're so lucky. You survived a car accident this bad. That's amazing." Emilia said.
Aleigha smiled faintly. She didn't say anything, nor did she seem to be unhappy. Her heart was ice cold.
When the time was right, she would take her time torturing Emilia.
"Keep your mouth shut or get out of here."
Charlotte couldn't hate Emilia more. She looked at Emilia with her eyes full of warnings.
"Emilia, off you go." Lainey hurriedly mediated the dispute, as if she were a kind-hearted person.
"Get out, all of you. I get a headache when I see you guys."Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Charlotte glanced at Lainey and Marcos with obvious disgust. Aleigha was kind of amused.
Dustin didn't say anything. He could do nothing about this sister.
"Aunt, have a good rest. We're leaving now." Lainey smiled and pushed the angry Marcos out of the ward.
Because of this injury, Aleigha had to ask for leave again.
As soon as she got home, she heard from the maid that Emilia told everyone she was carrying Adrian's child.
Aleigha did not take this matter to
heart. A he would never come true. Emilia knew very well Adrian had
nothing to do with this child, and so did Adrian.
However, Aleigha seemed that have underestimated the impact of the news. Even Adrian heard about it.
In the afternoon, Aleigha sat by the window in the sun. It was late autumn and she felt a bit chilly.
When her cell phone rang, she frowned impatiently. The ringtone was so harsh that it made her feel uneasy. "Hey, what's up?"
"Is this how you talk to your boss?" There was a hint of excitement in the man's tone, but it made her helpless.
She didn't know why, but she was always annoyed by his jocular tone.
She put on a smile. "Of course not. What can I do for you, Mr. Xiao?"
"Heh. Is it because I agreed to work with you that you don't care about me anymore? Where have you been these days?"
Adrian was too busy these days. The
frequent accidents caught him off
guard. The release of the latest
product had been postponed, and he
hadn't had a good rest for a while.
He finally got a half-day off, and the first thing he thought of was to call Aleigha. He wondered if she had heard of that thing.
"Mr. Xiao, how dare I?" Aleigha said perfunctorily. She did not want Adrian to know that she was injured.
"Let's meet. I missed you," Adrian suddenly softened his tone and said in a gentle voice.
Aleigha's heart missed a beat. She blinked her eyes in a panic, and it took her a few seconds to regain composure.
"I haven't been feeling like going out lately," said Aleigha. Her injuries were not yet healed, and she
still imping. She did not want Mas.
meet Adrian at this time.
A sigh came from the other side of the phone. He
was angry.
"Then tell me where your home is. I'll come to you."
"No, let me come to you. Where should we meet?" Her biggest fear was that he would get angry.
"Fine. By the way, don't dress up just to please me." Adrian was clearly much happier than before.
What? To please him?
Aleigha wished she could slap him in the face and kick him out of his arrogance.
After hanging up the phone, Aleigha was lost in thought. She had not recovered yet. What would Adrian do if he found she was injured?
After all, she hadn't told him that she was actually his fiancee.
"Thump! Thump!" The high-heeled shoes made a shrill noise on the smooth floor.
Aleigha suddenly had an idea. She got up and walked out with a cane.
