Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 182

Inside Greenfield City Medical Center, Barbara forced herself to stay calm. After seeing Calvin and Janice go into the operating room, she took a few deep breaths and dialed Edward's number.

"Mom?" Edward answered. He was still awake as an uneasy feeling had been keeping him up.

Barbara gasped, her voice trembling. "Edward, you need to come back! There's been an accident!"

Edward sat up in bed instantly, his heart pounding. "What happened?" he asked, his voice tight with worry.

"Calvin and Janice were hit by a car," Barbara replied, trying to steady her voice.

Upon hearing the news, Edward's mind went blank, leaving him silent for a moment. Then, he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll come back right away."

He didn't even have time to ask about Calvin and Janice. It wouldn't have mattered as he was thousands of miles away.

After hanging up, Barbara forced herself to hold back her emotions. But the image of Janice pushing her aside, a move that had probably saved her life, wouldn't leave her mind. Janice was too kind.

If Calvin's driver hadn't reacted quickly, steering the wheel to the left and partially blocking the oncoming car, Calvin and Janice would have been run over. The thought of it made Barbara's heart race. Even so, they were still seriously injured.
