Chapter 474
When the bodyguard saw that Nolan had woken up, he stammered, “Mr… Mr. Goldmann.”
Titus frowned deeply and asked, “What happened?”
The bodyguard took a look at Quincy and then Nolan. He did not know how he should tell them the
news, but he still took a deep breath and said, “Ms. Cherie, M s. Vanderbilt, and her father… When they
were on their way back from the hospital, they ran into… a car accident. When we arrived there, the car
was already burning.”
Quincy grabbed the collar of his shirt and shouted agitatedly, “What did you say!?”
“We… We just received the news too. About an hour ago. All of them, including Ms. Cherie, were in the
car
Quincy froze, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
“Nolan!” Titus returned to his senses only to find that Nolan had gone down from his bed and was
rushing out.
At the scene of the accident, the police officers pulled a barricade tape to keep the crowds away and
shut down the intersection. All the vehicles had no choice
but to change their route.
After the firefighters and paramedics arrived on the scene, they immediately started putting out the fire
and saving the people. The vehicle was burned to the point that there was nothing left but its frame.
Nolan wedged through the crowd and dashed to the front. The police officers tried to stop him. “Sir,
please stay out-”
“Get out of my way!”
Nolan pushed them all away frantically. Just when the police officers were going to get him under control
by force, one of the police officers recognized him and stopped them. “Wait!
“Mr. Goldmann? What are you doing here?”
Nolan paid him no mind. He dragged himself toward the car with heavy steps and fell on his knees with a
plop.
The police officers were stunned.
“Zee, Zee, I know I was wrong. Please come back.
Please don’t leave me. Zee… We’re not getting a divorce anymore. Please don’t leave me alone…”
Nolan broke down and bawled his eyes out.
He had been the cold and regal Mr. Goldmann in front of everyone. However, he was kneeling in front of
the car right now and crying out loud like a kid.
Everyone in the surroundings instantly recognized him.
“Is that… Mr. Goldmann?”
“I thought Mr. Goldmann had gotten a divorce with his wife? Then what is he doing here?”
“Could it be that his wife was in the car!?”
There were a lot of discussions in the crowd.
It was only now that his bodyguards arrived.
“Mr. Goldmann, please get up.”
When they tried to pull him up from the ground, he pushed them all away.
“Get lost! Get away from me!” He continued to say to himself, “I can’t live without her. I can’t… Zee..”
When the firefighters retrieved the charred dead bodies from the car, Nolan rushed forward despite many
people holding him back. The police officers put both of the bodies into body bags, and when Nolan saw
them, he was stunned.
‘Why? Why is this happening?’
Even though both of the dead bodies were burned beyond recognition, he could recognize that one of
them was Cherie and the other was Stephen.
He held Cherie’s hand with a trembling hand as if he was saying a final goodbye to her.
“Mr. Goldmann, there are only two dead bodies in the car. Also, we found this,” a police officer said as he
handed the ring inside a sealed bag to Nolan.
Nolan took over the thing in the bag.
The ring had lost all its luster after being burned by the fire. It looked dull, and there were cracks
everywhere on its surface.
He gripped the thing tightly. “Zee…
In the hospital
“Dad, Chere. No, save them!” Maisie jerked up from the bed and froze. There was an IV needle on the
back of her hand, and her clothes had become the hospital gown,
She subconsciously touched her cheek, and a stinging pain spread from the spot wrapped by gauze.
Why am I in the hospital? My dad, Cherie, I thought I was…”
Maisie gasped when the scene returned to her head. She pulled the needle out of the back of her hand,
Even though blood began to seep out of the hole, she paid it no mind. When she got down from the bed,
her legs gave way, and she fell on the floor
At the same time, a voice came from the door. ‘Do you think you can walk out of the hospital in your
current condition?”
