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?"

Cordelia was speechless. Homework? In the hospital?

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

Lucky for Yates, he chose the passenger seat today; otherwise, it could've been curtains. The backseat got totally smashed!"
