The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 991

The car only stopped for a few seconds. Realizing that he had knocked someone down, the driver hastily made a sharp turn and fled at lightning speed.

In the dark night, only two dazzling taillights cutting across the air were visible.

Natalie hadn't the presence of mind to care about the hit-and-run car. Instead, she lowered her head and stared at the young man lying on the ground.

Jerry's face was rubbed raw, and blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth.

“Uh... Fortunately... I made it in time...” Jerry muttered laboriously.

“What do you mean?” Frowning deeply, Natalie ordered, “It's best that you don't say anything right now. It's uncertain yet whether you have broken bones or internal injuries. I'm going to call for an ambulance immediately to send you to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup.”

However, Jerry seemingly turned a deaf ear to her. He continued stuttering, “Let my father... off the hook...”

“What do you mean, Jerry?” Natalie questioned, narrowing her eyes a fraction.

“P-Please... let my father off the hook...” As Jerry spoke, he vomited blood. Nonetheless, he grabbed her sleeve weakly, his eyes brimming with obstinacy and imploration. “Have mercy on him... I beg you...”

Closing her eyes, Natalie took two deep breaths.

The car accident was strange in the first place.

Coupled with the man's pleading at that moment, she instantly discerned the culprit behind the car accident.

When she opened her eyes again, she stated mildly, “I can't promise you that right now.”

The light in Jerry's eyes dimmed. “You—”

In a cold voice, Natalie intoned, “Have your wounds treated first, Jerry. I'll promise you that after you've had your checkup. Otherwise, forget about it.”

Jerry was racked with pain, so he could only give up in the face of her unfathomable gaze.
