The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 622 A Long Cut Across Her Face

The moment they reached the underground parking garage, Zachary ran ahead to get the car. Once everyone had climbed in, he handled the situation with Sophia.

"Sophia, try calling Ms. Remington's phone. See if we can find out how she's doing and which hospital she's in."

"Okay," Sophia said quickly, dialing Sierra's number.

The call connected right away, but it was not Sierra who picked up. It was the same stranger who had called earlier. "Hello, are you the family of the person who owns this phone?"

Sophia replied at once, "I am. Please, can you tell us which hospital you're at and how she's doing?"

"We're at Genesis Medical Center. She's not in great shape. She's injured and pretty shaken up. I've already called the police, but the guy who attacked her ran off, and she suffered an injury to her face."

Sophia turned on the speakerphone, and the stranger's voice filled the car, sending Melissa and Jonathan into a state of panic.

Jonathan pleaded, "Please, please help take care of our daughter. We're on our way now, and we'll surely repay you once we arrive."

"I promise I'll stay with her until you get here. Don't worry! Once you arrive, just call this number again."

"Yes, yes, of course. Thank you... Thank you so much!" Jonathan said.

"I need to take care of the hospital paperwork now, so I'll hang up."

"Yes, sure! Thank you!"

Jonathan agreed instantly, and Melissa broke down crying. "What are we going to do? Cee's hurt... How could something like this happen out of nowhere? Wasn't she supposed to be with Samuel? Where is he? Call him now!"

"There's no need to call Samuel," Zachary said steadily, keeping his eyes on the road. "If the good samaritan used Cee's phone to call you, it means Ms. Remington wanted that call to be made. She clearly doesn't want Samuel to know about this."

Both Melissa and Jonathan froze as the implication hit them, and neither of them said a word. But moments later, Melissa broke down again, sobbing even harder.
