I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 541

The instant Aidan left the Pearson Group's meeting room, Jonathan came over in a hurry and said, "Something has happened, President Pearson."

"What's the matter?"

"Mrs. Pearson was involved in a car accident ten minutes ago…" Seeing how the man's expression changed instantly, Jonathan hurriedly continued, "It wasn't very serious, though. Her car only got rear-ended. We've sent her to the hospital, so don't worry about it, President Pearson. She isn't at risk of losing her life."

Aidan turned around and strode toward the elevator before questioning coldly, "Have you looked into the matter?"

"Yes. It seems to be an accident. Those involved in the accident were cooperative, and they've gone to the hospital as well."

Aidan pressed his lips together and entered the elevator without saying a word. While standing behind him, Jonathan added, "I'll follow up on the investigation."

Aidan ordered, "Don't let anyone find out about the car accident."

"Yes."

"Whoever makes a move at this point is the culprit."

Jonathan nodded. "I got it."

Aidan arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later. His subordinate came over and reported, "According to the doctor, Mrs. Pearson only suffered a mild concussion and passed out, President Pearson. She'll be fine after being hospitalized for two days."

"Where is she?"

"She's in the ward now."

Aidan stopped in his tracks and asked coldly, "Where are the people who rear-ended her car?"

The subordinate replied, "The police are asking them questions outside Mrs. Pearson's ward."

"Show me the way."

"Yes."

In front of the ward, a man explained, "We didn't do it intentionally, sir. We didn't notice the roadblock in front of us, and she stopped her car abruptly. We couldn't step on the brakes in time!"

Another person played along by saying, "Yes, that's right. Our car has been badly damaged as well. We'll just ask for an insurance claim, so she won't need to compensate for anything. We'll just consider it a stroke of bad luck."

The police shot them a look. "Are you saying that you're not in the wrong? You should've focused on the road. Don't you keep your eyes on the road while driving?"

The man said, "I'm not trying to blame her or anything, but if I were in her position today, I wouldn't have stepped on the brakes so abruptly, and all of this wouldn't have happened. As you know, female drivers can be clumsy sometimes. I guess she was just anxious—"

"Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to hear such nonsense and don't blame it all on her just because she's a woman. You should've kept a safe distance from her car. Based on what we've seen from the surveillance footage and the traces on the road, you're fully responsible for this accident."

"I suppose both parties are in the wrong. You can punish us as you see fit, and we won't refute it. Can we leave now?"

The police said, "No, you can't leave before she regains consciousness."

The men exchanged glances and fell silent.

Just then, a series of footsteps were heard coming from the corridor as Aidan came into sight. When both men saw him, they quickly hung their heads low. Watching as Aidan approached, the police asked, "Are you the patient's relative?"

Aidan stopped and replied, "I'm her husband."

"Alright, then. I just have a few questions for her. When she wakes up, I'll talk to her. You may take a look at her."

Aidan grunted, but before he entered the ward, he swept a glance over the flinching men. Then, he took a look at Jonathan and shuffled into the room. Following that, Jonathan stepped forward and said, "Hello, I'd like to know the details of the car accident."

The police pointed at one of the men. "You'll tell him everything in detail, and don't spout any nonsense again."

…

Presently, Leanna was lying inside the ward. Her forehead was wrapped in a layer of bandages, and her breathing was stable. Aidan sat down beside her and took her warm hand. He gently let out a breath, feeling relieved.

Over 20 minutes later, Leanna's eyelashes started fluttering as she slowly opened her eyes. Aidan touched her hair and whispered, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Leanna looked at him and frowned. As she parted her lips, she replied in a hoarse voice, "I'm just a little dizzy."

"The doctor said you're suffering from a mild concussion. It's only natural that you feel dizzy. They'll check on you soon."

Leanna nodded and curled up her fingers to grab the man's hand. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Aidan's lips curved into a smile. "Okay."

Several minutes later, a few doctors came in and examined Leanna. One of them then said, "So far, we don't see any problems other than a mild concussion. We'll observe her for several days, and she'll be discharged if everything's okay."

After the doctors left, the police came in and spoke to Leanna. As such, Aidan stepped out of the ward. Jonathan approached him and said, "I've talked to them, President Pearson."
