Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 289

Cordelia anxiously tried calling Yates, but couldn't get through.

Frowning, she was about to give up when Flame rushed over. "Lia, Yates had a car accident today and couldn't make it to school. He asked me to let you know!"

Cordelia was baffled. "A car accident?"

Scratching his head, Flame explained, "Not sure about the details, but it doesn't seem too bad. He asked if you could jot down today's homework for him. I'll swing by the hospital to drop it off."

Cordelia was speechless. Homework? In the hospital?

Nodding, she handed over the day's assignments to Flame, who then darted off.

A thought struck Cordelia. Was Flame skipping class again?

By lunchtime, Flame was back, handing over Yates's assignments from the previous day. "The accident wasn't serious, just unlucky. Driving along fine and bam! A billboard fell on the car. Lucky for Yates, he chose the passenger seat today; otherwise, it could've been curtains. The backseat got totally smashed!"

Yates had recently been chauffeured around, following an odd rule set by Mr. Hackett, and had taken to studying from a vocabulary notebook and literature summaries during rides.

Today, on a whim, he sat in the passenger seat, finding it easier to read there due to better light...

And then, the accident happened.
