Chapter 85

At the mention of Vanessa being involved in a terrible accident, I scramble to my feet, the chair screeching as I push it away from the table.

Frank instantly gets up as well, wondering what’s going on with me.

As I get the details, it seems like with every passing second, my heart races even more.

“Where is the right now?” I ask the woman on the other end of the line.

It turns out Vanessa’s not too far away. The hospital she’s been admitted to is only

nutes from here.

The only thing on my mind right now is that I have to go there immediately.

As soon as she cuts the call on me, I leave the table in a rush, Frank walking in a hurry beside me as I head to the parking lot.

“Dude, what happened?” he asks.

“Vanessa was involved in an accident.”

“What? How?”

“I… I need to go right now.” I loosen my necktie, feeling like I can’t breathe as my body temperature rises.

Once I’m in the backseat, I instruct my driver to drive as fast as possible.

1 don’t have it in me to inform my father that I won’t be back at the office and what just happened to Vanessa, so Frank says he’ll take care of it for me.

On my way to the hospital, I dial the woman’s number again just so I don’t lose contact with her. I need more details about what happened. To my frustration, her phone doesn’t even ring, making me slam the seat beside me.

“Drive faster!” I instruct my driver.

He flinches a little. “Yes, Sir!”

Close to 5 minutes into the ride, something else hits me. Vanessa was with my sister, so what happened to her? Did they already part ways? And where did this accident even take place? These questions make my mind race even more as I try to make sense of all this.

Frank gives me a call right when the car turns at the corner and I can see the hospital.

“Hello?” There’s a slight tremble in my voice.

“Are you there yet?”

“I just arrived.”

“I’ve just informed your father. He’s on his way there right now.”

I abruptly end the call, my mind still racing about Sophie.

Just as the car comes to a stop, I step out, thinking about calling her, but to my surprise, I receive an incoming call from her. I’m so curious to
