Chapter 100 100: Brakes failed

When Gabriel, Eveline, and Stefan arrived at the hospital, they discovered that the driver was in good condition and had only sustained a few minor scratches.

Before they chose to intervene, he was occupied with making a statement to the police officer regarding the whole incident.

Once finished, they all went into the ward.

"What caused this, Jay?" Gabriel asked intently. It was unexpected to witness such a serious injury to one of the skilled drivers. Still, he felt thankful the accident was not more serious.

"I discovered the oil leak gasket and chose to have the car towed in for repair, but while I was traveling, I discovered the brakes were not functioning. I had the car pulled over the cement slope for a safe stop." Jay explained.

Eveline scowled as some doubts were raised by Jay's remarks. The brakes failed first, followed by a leak in the gasket. Why does everything occur at the same moment? In addition, Gabriel would not have driven the vehicle if it was in poor condition.

"Should you have neglected to travel in the car if there was a problem?" inquired Eveline.

Both Gabriel and Stefan looked at her, their eyes scrutinizing her intriguing query.

"Indeed, however, the vehicle remained in excellent shape throughout. How come the brakes suddenly failed, I wonder?" His remarks did catch Stefan and Gabriel's attention. interest.

Indeed, the two began to comprehend Eveline's skepticism.

"That is alright. I am relieved that you were not harmed." Gabriel said putting an end to this awkward situation.

Gabriel was certain that Jay would not intentionally hurt him, but something made him wonder: maybe someone had broken the brakes on purpose while he was not around.

After they left the hospital, Gabriel asked Stefan to contact Dr. Lilith because he was unable to do so. She had switched off her phone, and there was no way he would storm her home to carry out this deceit.

"Do not worry, I will find a way to contact her," Stefan reassured before driving off from there.

Gabriel then turned to look at Eveline, who seemed quite off with the entire thing. The frown marred on her face was the epitome of her thinking hard about the whole accident.

"I know what you are thinking, but trust me, Jay will not purposely bring the car just to land them in a fatal accident." Gabriel's voice cut through her thoughts and he shook her head, refuting his assertion.

"It is not about Jay, but the person who got your car's brake failed," she uttered, her eyes shining with concern.

Sighing, Gabriel drew her into his arms.

"Do not worry, nothing happened to me," he reassured her, which calmed her racing thoughts.

Her heart ached at the idea of Gabriel trapped in the car, facing the collision. Even though she would not allow herself to feel anything for him, she would never want anything to happen to him.
