Chapter 424
Jared had nothing to do with this, and he shouldn’t be dragged into it.
However, Agnes knew that she would become enemies with Alyssa in the future, and the relationship with the Whitfield family would deteriorate. Rather than having their marriage suffer, it’s better to end things amicably now.
However, Agnes couldn’t let go as easily as she thought she could.
These past few days, she felt like she was living in a dream.
The pain deep within her was a harsh reminder that she was still alive.
Agnes was mindlessly holding her phone.
Suddenly, her phone started vibrating again.
Agnes checked, it was Laura,
Agnes frowned and answered the call.
“Agnes, your dad’s had an accident, he crashed into a guard rail on the highway. He’s at Hope Hospital, get over here now!”
Agnes froze for a second!
Then, she quickly got up and went to Hope Hospital.
At the emergency room entrance were Laura and Beatrice.
The moment Beatrice saw Agnes, she started blaming her, “Agnes, you bring bad luck. If you hadn’t stressed dad out, he wouldn’t have been drunk driving. If anything happens to dad, it’s all on you.”
Agnes ignored Beatrice.
She walked/straight up to Laura, “What happened? How did dad get into an accident?”
Laura, crying, said, “I don’t know, he went out for a meeting today. I have no idea how much he drank. He drove back himself at noon and had a car accident on the highway.”
Upon finishing, Laura started sobbing, “Preston, how could you be so heartless? If something happens to you, we’ll be left alone. And what about Starlight International Group’s huge debt?”
“Don’t cry. Dad’s not dead,” Agnes said coldly.
But Agnes felt her heart trembling.

She looked at the closed door of the rescue room and the red light indicating that the rescue was in progress.
She felt like she was being strangled, she couldn’t breathe.
Years ago, her mother was rushed into the rescue room and never woke up again.
It felt like history was repeating itself.
The smell of disinfectant enveloped her.
She felt like her blood was getting colder.
Agnes stood at the door, while Beatrice continued to blame her.
But Agnes didn’t hear a word Beatrice was saying.
All her attention was on that door.
Agnes closed her eyes, clasped her hands and prayed for a not so cruel outcome.
Even though she couldn’t forgive Preston, he was still her father.
No matter what, Agnes didn’t want anything to happen to him.
Agnes didn’t know how long she had been waiting outside the rescue room.
Until the doctors and nurses came out.
Agnes and Laura immediately surrounded them.
“Doctor, how’s my husband?” Laura asked anxiously.
The doctor looked regretful, shook his head, “We did our best, but the patient has a severe cranial injury. We’ve operated, but he’s not out of the woods yet. Even if he survives, the chances of him waking up are slim.”
Laura sat down on the bench in the corridor in pain.
Beatrice couldn’t accept the news, “Are you saying my dad’s gonna be in a coma? Can’t you doctors treat him? I don’t believe it. How could my dad be in a coma? He’s the chairman of Starlight International Group!”
The doctor frowned and replied, “Nothing’s certain yet. If he falls into a coma, that could be seen as a relatively good outcome. With treatment, he might wake up. But right now, since he just had a craniotomy and hasn’t passed the critical period, the next three days are crucial. You need to be prepared.”
