True Love Waits

Chapter 1243 Phoebe Had An Accident

Before Erica could see what had happened, the grip on her hand loosened, and Phoebe fell backward. A scream escaped her lips as she landed on the ground.

Eric's hand was still frozen in midair.

It happened so fast that she was dumbfounded.

Camille snapped her phone shut and ran toward Phoebe. She squatted on the ground, gently grabbed her sister by the shoulders, and asked, "Phoebe, what happened? Are you okay?" "Sister... my belly... hurts..." Phoebe clutched her abdomen and writhed in pain as she spoke.

Incensed, Camille stood from the ground, turned to Erica, and coldly demanded, "What did you do to my sister? Didn't you know that she is pregnant? That is Matthew Huo's child. Can you afford the consequences should anything happen to the baby?"

Erica was shaken from her astonishment at the reminder that Phoebe was carrying Matthew's child. She glanced at the woman on the ground and said, "I didn't do anything. It's her fault. But if I were you, I would be calling an ambulance."

Camille was rendered speechless at the reminder of her thoughtlessness. She grabbed her phone and warned Erica as she dialed the number, "Don't you dare go anywhere. I'm going to tell the police what you did and have you arrested!"

The exchange between the women caught Watkins' attention. He ended his call and jogged to Erica. "What happened?"

Erica didn't respond. Instead, her eyes widened with shock when she saw the rapidly growing bloodstain on Phoebe's clothes. She grasped Watkins' sleeve and yanked hard several times. "Blood... Blood..." Watkins seized Camille's arm to stop her. "It's too late to call for help. I'll drive her to the hospital," he offered.

Without waiting for a response, he gathered Phoebe in his arms and rushed toward the car. Camille, who was close behind, opened the car door for him. A brief moment later, Phoebe was placed in the back seat, and Camille settled next to her.

Watkins returned to Erica, who seemed frozen. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "Erica, get in the car. We need to get to the hospital."

Erica took several deep breaths. She still couldn't believe what she had witnessed. Never before had she seen so much blood! Weak-kneed, she followed Watkins to the car and climbed into the passenger seat.

Watkins reversed his damaged car, bypassed Camille's parked vehicle, and pressed hard on the accelerator.
