StarNovelChapter 294 A Multi-car Crash It was as if | had finally opened a mysterious door. | rushed in, checking room after room, but there was no sign of anyone.
Then, a nurse saw me. “What are you doing? This is a sterile area. How did you get in? Get out!” grabbed her. “Where's the person they were just trying to save? How is he?” “Get out! Which one are you talking about?! There are many people here!” She tried to free herself while pushing us towards the exit. “Hurry up and leave!” “Mr. Atlas, the one they were just trying to save, how is he?” | persisted.
The nurse forcefully pushedout. “I don’t know!” Then the door shut, and | heard the lock click.
| slumped against the wall, feeling deflated and lost. | wanted to cry out, “Atlas, please tellhow you are!” “Chlo, listen to me. Let's go back,” Carol said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWe left the hospital, but | couldn't shake the feeling that he was somewhere in the building. If | left now, | might miss him.
Carol drove directly back to the office. It was nearly the end of the workday. Ryan must have been waiting forto return.
Now that he sawat the entrance, he waved to everyone, “You're dismissed!” People glanced at me, then quietly turned and left.
Back in my office, | sank wearily into the sofa, feeling a kind of exhaustion | had never experienced before.
“Chilo, is there still no news?” Ryan cautiously inquired while Carol gave him a meaningful look.
After a while, | looked up and asked, “Where's Grayson?” II call him right away,” Carol said, picking up the phone and dialing Grayson’s number.
Grayson arrived in my office less than twenty minutes later, | stood up, looking at him intently.
What's the news? What have you found out?” I've looked into it Mr. Atlas left Starlight International around 11 a.m. and took a car with Dylan, a driver, “There was a multiple—car collision in the accident, but...the most severe damage was to Mr. Atlas’s car.” His voice sounded somewhat weary. “According to the officers on site, six people were injured...and one person didn’t make it.” My hands turned ice—cold, horror fillingas | looked at Grayson. “Was it one of ours?” “I don't think so.” “Now, | just want to know about Atlas’s condition,” | said, my voice helpless but resolute.
There was no room for doubt.
Grayson nodded. “Alright, I'll find a way. If you couldn’t get any information at the hospital, the Pierce family likely ordered a news blackout. So, this news might not be as bad. Chlo, try not to worry too much.” “Just letknow,” Ryan added, concern in his eyes as he looked at me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI knew | must look awful.
| didn’t refuse his offer to drive me. | gave Grayson a few more instructions and then headed downstairs.
In the car, Ryan glanced at me, hesitating before finally speaking. “Chlo, | know you're anxious. But he’ll be alright!” Everyone said the sthing, but what was happening? What was Celine up to? | couldn't shake the feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed. Atlas’s plans were meticulous.
But what if Celine had plans of her own? Thinking back to the expression on Celine’s face when she spoke those words to me, | felt that this woman was nothing short of inhumane. Her blood ran cold.
At that moment, | truly believed in Atlas’s instincts. The plane crash that took his parents couldn't have been that simple, just like this car accident.
| had a gut feeling that there was more to it. How coincidental that he had everything planned out, only to face such a massive incident right before boarding a plane.
On top of that, in the face of life and death, she casually uttered, “He’s not dead.” It was as if life and death were mere trifles to her. She didn't respect others lives, which | could understand somewhat.
It meant she was cold and heartless, devoid of humanity. She was heartless even regarding her family, However, | couldn't tell Ryan all the details.
Suddenly, the phone in my hand rang, joltingfrom my thoughts...
