Chapter 203

When Silas got to the scene of the accident, he almost threw up his lunch. There was blood everywhere. Police officers roamed the area. Cars had to us one side of the road, causing even more congestion.

"Hey, I'm looking for Mrs. Stone," he said, approaching a young cop.

"She's in the ambulance," the cop replied.

Silas's eyes widened. "Is she okay?"

But the cop had already walked away.

Panic stirred in his chest as he rushed to the ambulance. He breathed in relief when he saw Ivy seated in the back of the vehicle, a brown blanket wrapped around her.

When she saw him, her eyes welled up with tears.

He rushed to her, crushing her in his arms. "Are you okay?"

Ivy nodded.

Silas stepped back to study her. He expected to see bandages, but when he saw none, he hugged her again and kissed her forehead, until he noticed the blood on her hands.

He took her hands, his heart pounding. "Does... it hurt?"

"What?" She looked down. "No. It's not mine."

Her eyes gleamed with pain, filling his own with concern. "I'm sorry you had to see that. Was... that your driver?"

"Yes. Jonathan," she said softly. "All of them are unconscious."

Silas moved closer and sat beside her, his heart aching as he kissed her hands. "I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault," Ivy said, her voice cracking. Then she turned to him slowly. "It was Rosie."

Panic formed inside him, but he fought to control it. "Are you sure about this?" "Yes. I already told the police. She was the one driving. I saw that blonde hair." The panic surged again, and this time he couldn't hold it back. His hands shook and Ivy squeezed them gently

"Hey, it's okay," she said softly, offering a reassuring smile. "I'm sure they'll get her soon."

He nodded, but he didn't believe her. Rosie had carried out her threat, and the thought shattered something good inside him, making him

uncomfortable.

He stood up, his lungs suddenly tightening.

"Hey," Ivy said, trying to reach out to him.

"I just need air, please," he replied without looking at her. He stepped back and exhaled, trying to steady the thudding in his chest.

He couldn't tell Ivy about Rosie's plan. That would only make her more paranoid than she already was.

Yet, he couldn't find Rosie. She had hurt his wife and he just wanted to rip her head off!
