Chapter 266 A Car Accident

Even if there was someone in the company who could find a better way around things, Nicholas still
wouldn't use any of their ideas. He didn't trust anyone else.

The sun shone brightly in the sky outside. Its rays shone in through the glass windows, brightening up
the office.

Nicholas, with his back to the light, studied his own shadow.

After a while, he seemed to remember something. "Kevin, I'll give you an unexpected gift."

The setting sun could be seen from the car. The excellent weather made the sunset particularly brilliant
as it extended across the clear suburban sky.

"Miss Anne, Mr. Kevin says that he'll be returning later," said the servant who was accompanying Anne
to the examination.

"I see," Anne replied calmly.

Suddenly, something slammed into the car. The air bag in front of Anne was activated, and there was a
scream.

"Miss Anne, are you okay?" the servant asked, alarmed, as soon as she came back to her senses. She
was afraid that something might have happened to Anne.

The driver immediately got out of the car and opened the door to bring Anne out.

However, as soon as the door was opened, someone else reached in and pulled her out.

Anne was frightened, and she felt pain in her belly, but she was conscious. When she finally made
sense of what was happening, she realized that the person in front of her was the one she had met in



the baby store earlier that day.

"It's you," Anne said, her eyes fixed on him.

She frowned slightly because of the pain, but she made no mention of it.

Nicholas gazed at her, equally stunned.

"Why are you still standing there? Take Miss Anne to the hospital at once! If something happens to her
baby, you're dead!" the servant declared.

That seemed to bring Nicholas out of his daze. He held Anne carefully and brought her to his car.

Few people came to the hospital as it was getting late. They only did so if they were seeking
emergency treatment.

So when Sam saw Anne, he quickly grew concerned.

He was wearing a white doctor's gown, which he no longer bothered to remove. He hurried over to her.

"What's going on?" he asked worriedly upon seeing her pale face.

"We got into an accident. It's this man who hit our car. Mr. Sam, please check on Miss Anne first," the
servant said, concerned.

He glanced at Nicholas indifferently but said nothing. Then he helped Anne to her feet and took her to
the emergency ward for an examination.

The servant and Nicholas waited outside the examination room. The man already had a cold
temperament, but his thin, black overcoat made him look even colder.



Half an hour passed before Sam came out. The servant and Nicholas stood up at the same time and
asked, "How is Miss Anne?"

"Her life is not in danger for the time being, but she needs to stay under observation in the hospital for
around two days. We're keeping our eyes peeled for other conditions that may come up," Sam spoke
gently as he faced the servant.

However, when he turned to Nicholas, there was an obvious change in his demeanor.

"Someone will come in a moment to deal with what you've done. I hope you'll stay and take
responsibility for what you've done," he told him coldly.

Nicholas was stunned. He said, firmly, "That's fine. It was indeed my fault. I'll handle it."

Hearing the man's statement, Sam said no more. He simply nodded slightly and left.

The room had been specifically prepared for Anne, and so the space smelled fresh. Sam was worried
that she would not be able to sleep well, but Kevin had informed him of her preferences.

Anne lay on crisp white bedsheets and was covered with a white blanket. Her eyes were closed, but
deep lines showed on her brow.

Anne was so frightened just now that the fear had made it into her subconscious and her dreams.

When she woke up, she was sweating all over.

She opened her eyes to see Kevin sitting beside her. The feeling of relief washed over her.

"Were you having a bad dream?" Kevin held her with one hand and wiped away the sweat on her face
with the other.



"Yes, I was." There was a violent collision in her dream, and she thought that she had lost her child.
She broke out in a cold sweat.

"What did you dream of?" he asked, helping her sit up. He handed her a glass of water and listened.

"Nothing," said Anne. She wanted to be casual about it, but she couldn't help but place a hand on her
belly.

Kevin saw this and understood.

"Our baby will be fine. Don't worry," he patiently coaxed her until she seemed to calm down.

"Well..." Anne found herself frowning again, this time at the thought of Nicholas.

"The person who rammed into us today was the person whom I saw in the baby store that day," Anne
said slowly.

Kevin's face darkened.

"Was that him?" he asked with a bloodthirsty smile. His knuckles were turning white with rage.

"He is not simple as he looked, but I don't think he did it on purpose," Anne explained, her voice still
slightly trembling with fear.

"Don't worry about it. Take good care of yourself. I'm just going to check on him. Protecting you and our
child is my responsibility," Kevin said as he held Anne.

She couldn't help but smile upon hearing his calm voice. With him by her side, she did not have to
make big decisions. She was always taken care of.

On second thought, she hadn't accepted his proposal. She didn't know if he was only showing concern
for her because of the child.



Since she got pregnant, Kevin had always be gentle to her.

She touched her belly. Her mind was still a mess.

"It seems that you're still upset. Didn't you rest well?" he asked.

"I'm okay. I'm just a little tired, and I want to rest some more. Go back to work," Anne replied. With that,
she pulled the blanket up to her chin and closed her eyes.

Kevin thought that she must be exhausted. He bent forward, kissed her on her forehead, and left the
room.

In the office.

The door and the window were both open. Wind flowed freely through the open space, giving people a
feeling of spring-like calm.

Sam was by himself, looking something up. He raised his head when Kevin walked in.

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you with Anne? I've dealt with the company's management plan.
There's no need to come to me again. And you must keep your end of the bargain," he said seriously.

Kevin took a deep breath and said indifferently, "This is not the right time to talk about this. Where's the
man who drove his car into Anne's?"

"Well, his name is Nicholas Si. He just returned from England. These things happened just as he
returned. Didn't you see him outside?" Sam asked hesitantly.

Nicholas had said that he would wait for Kevin to come, but now, he was gone. Had he been waiting for
an opportunity to escape?

"No," Kevin said coldly.



He frowned upon realizing that Nicholas had encountered Anne twice.

"You have to look into this. We can't let Anne suffer while the culprit goes unpunished," said Sam,
frowning.

"Of course, I'll look into it."

"That's good. I have a patient to check up on. As for the investigation, I'll leave it to you." There were
lots of affairs in the hospital that Sam had to deal with. Helping Kevin out had already taken too much
of his time and energy.

"As if I would leave that to you," Kevin sneered as if he found Sam's naivete amusing.

Everything about Anne was important and he would take care all of it personally.

How could he leave this task to others?

Seeing the stunned look on Sam's face, Kevin said slowly, "I'm going back to the company first to look
at how things are going."

In the Luo Family's house.

Laughter resounded from the European-style living room.

The huge vintage clock in the middle of the wall indicated that it was three in the afternoon. It was time
for the appointment that Liam had made with the company's executives.

"There's nothing to worry about. You may rest assured, Mr. Liam, that the company is running
smoothly." Eden Zhang was a steady man who was neither humble nor pushy. Liam found this
reassuring.



"I promoted you. I trust you. Now, I'm old. Let Rose take care of the company's affairs. You can help
her and teach her in time. Although L Group has a new leader, I think it would continue to benefit
greatly from your help." Liam sighed.

Eden Zhang had always known how much Liam valued him, so he didn't dare back down from this
great responsibility.

Additionally, even if Liam hadn't asked him to, he knew in himself that he would try his hardest to help
Rose. He couldn't help but smile as he thought of her face.

This did not escape Liam's attention. He said, calmly, "Rose has been hurt before. I don't know what
the future has in store for her. If you are destined to be together, I'll be happy for the two of you."

Eden Zhang knew what he meant. If Rose had no feelings for him, nothing should be forced upon her.

In his eyes, Rose was a magnificent woman. How could he be so foolish to do anything recklessly?
When she was engaged to be married to Kevin, he had given it all up. He had let her go. Eden Zhang
was a person who knew how to be grateful. Because Liam had been kind to him. He would not do
anything to harm the company.

"Mr. Liam, it is my desire to see L Group prosper. Miss Rose wants the same thing. I would never
dream of anything else for the company."

Liam felt at ease upon hearing what Eden Zhang had just said.

The latter opened his lips and leaned forward as if there was something that he wanted to say, but he
decided against it.

"What's wrong?" Asked Liam.



"When I got here, I heard about Anne getting in a car accident yesterday. Now, she's in Sam's
hospital."

"What?" Liam asked, surprised. In the blink of an eye, he was on his feet.

Just then, Valentina came in. Her entrance made the atmosphere in the room awkward. "I think we've
discussed everything. I'm leaving now."

With that, Eden Zhang left the Luo Family's residence. He had no comment on other people's family
affairs.
