Chapter 292
Chapter 292 Not Giving an Inch
It felt like an eternity before Grayson finally picked up.
My voice was trembling as I said, "Grayson... Where are you? Please...check for me... Atlas had an accident at a highway near the airport..."
"Don't worry. I've been looking into it as soon as I got the news." Grayson tried to reassure me as he heard the panic in my voice. "Where are you?"
"I'm at the hospital!" I took a deep breath. "Tell me when you find out."
"Absolutely! You take care. Do you want me to have Carol visit the hospital with you?"
"I'm fine! Do you know how seriously he's injured?"
He paused before saying, "According to eyewitnesses...it's...quite serious!"
My vision darkened. If they said it was pretty serious, then it must be far from just a minor accident.
"How serious is serious?"
"I'm still checking but I'll let you know as soon as I have any information. Don't worry!" He tried to comfort me. "I'll hang up for now, but I'll call you later!"
The call ended, and my heart felt like it had turned to ice. Suddenly, someone touched my arm, and I
looked up to see Carol.
"You came?" I said flatly, but I held onto her hand tightly.
"Chlo, don't panic! Everything will be fine," Carol comforted me softly.
Time ticked by, each second increasing my turmoil.
"Carol, find out... how long has it been? How long has he been inside? Why hasn't he come out yet?" I slumped, clutching on to Carol. She was my only support at this moment. She looked at me, and I released her abruptly, saying in a rush, "Ask... ask!"
She turned and left. I kept rubbing my hands together, staring at the door. I noticed Kenzie's gaze fixed on
me, like two cold beams of light.
Then, I saw Stella approaching me. Our eyes met, and I looked away.
I stared at the emergency room door, hoping it would open soon. The longer it took, the more my hope dwindled.
Stella's figure blocked my view. I looked up at her with a cold expression and said, "Move aside!"
"Chloe! I didn't expect you to be so audacious." Stella didn't budge and stared down at me. "Who are you
trying to fight?"
"Anyone works! You think you're all-powerful? Don't forget that this society is governed by law, not the Pierce family. I've never seen such arrogance." I stared at Stella, my tone unyielding. "Audacious? I've never feared anyone!"
"You're too arrogant, Chloe!" But so what? Your persistence won't change a thing. Even if you've slept with him, I don't mind. He's still mine. I just see it as him playing with a new toy." Stella's tone dripped with mockery.
I was genuinely shocked that such words could come from her mouth.
"Well, you're remarkably magnanimous!" I stood up, towering over her by a good ten inches, determined to assert my presence. "Even if I'm a toy, at least he prefers me!”
Stella's smiling face turned into a stony one. This was the first time I had seen Stella this way.
"Chloe..."
Just then, the emergency room door swung open...
