In the small hours.

Charlotte was taken to the hospital.

The doctor's initial diagnosis was: two broken ribs, a mild concussion, and numerous wounds of different sizes, but fortunately no critical damage.

Melvin sat alone on the bench outside the operating room, lost in his own thoughts.

After the accident, he asked Fred to notify the Matthews family.

Jamie and Katelyn, however, didn't arrive until dawn.

"Alas, my poor daughter. Why should this happen to her!"

Katelyn's crying voice could be heard from a distance in the corridor, she didn't shed a single drop of tear, but even seemed to be gloating about it.

On the contrary, Jamie walked up to Melvin with a sad face. Seeing Melvin's solemn expression, he said a few words to comfort Melvin.

Melvin didn't respond to Jamie's comforting, but just politely said, "Uncle, Aunt, please have a seat."

Jamie was not satisfied with his reply, "Mr. Freeman, I'm asking you as a father. What on earth happened, and how did Lottie get hurt like this? Who did this?"

It hadn't been long since his oldest daughter became a vegetable from a car incident, and now Charlotte was severely injured. Was someone going against his family? Or luck was simply not on their side recently?

Melvin was silent for a few seconds before answering, "I've sent Fred to investigate."

Jamie saw that he did not intend to continue with the conversation, and was too embarrassed to say anything else, so he sat down on the bench beside to wait.

Within two minutes, the light above the operating room door went off.

The doctor came out and said that Charlotte's surgery was successful. Except that she couldn't move around for a while, there were no major problems and she could be transferred to a standard VIP ward.

The three people on the corridor followed to the ward to see Charlotte.

Charlotte just woke up, her whole body wrapped in thick gauze. She struggled to open her swollen eyes, and she started crying as soon as she saw Melvin.
