Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Clarence!”

Miranda hung up the call, ready to leave. “Let’s go to the hospital, my mom just had an accident.”

​ 

Clarence hurriedly said to Johnson, “Hang in there for a bit, Johnson. I’ll go visit my mother first and we’ll see how it goes.”

Johnson heard through the phone that Clarence’s mother-in-law had gotten into an accident.

“Master Howard, you have to be quick!

“They don’t have the time to deal with me yet, so I’m calling you from the toilet right now.

“Once they finish discussing everything, they’ll need to find a scapegoat, so I’ll be in big trouble then.

“By the way, Master Howard, we’ve crippled your wife’s ex-boyfriend.

“From today onward, he’ll be one part less a man,” Johnson quickly mentioned his efforts in getting revenge on Sheldon, as if he was afraid that Clarence would not actually come for him.

Clarence shuddered briefly. “Alright, wait for me.”

After hanging up the call, Clarence and Miranda rushed straight to the hospital.

Inside the ward, Peony was laying on the bed unconscious, with a distraught Armstrong by her side.

Belle, George, Melody, Kaysen, and the others were already there.

“Haha, Mom got into an accident and yet you two took forever to get here,” Belle laughed in a cold and weird tone.

Melody laughed coldly as well, “We left everything when we heard mom got into an accident.

“Kaysen was supposed to work overtime to settle some problems in Sunshine District, but he still sent mom here himself, didn’t he?

“As for you two, you weren’t busy doing anything, yet you were still the last to get here.”

Clarence’s brows furrowed a little.

He had an idea of what was going on.

After Peony got into that car crash, the first ones to know about it were Belle and Melody. Miranda, on the other hand, was completely forgotten.

It was only after Peony was admitted into the hospital did they let Miranda know about this.

However, Melody was now accusing Miranda of not caring about her own mother, and blaming Miranda for her lateness.

Clarence was not happy. “Belle, Melody, this has nothing to do with Miranda, does it?

“You guys didn’t tell us anything about the accident until everything had been settled, so how is it our problem that we arrived after you?”

“Shut up, what makes you think you have the right to speak right now?” Belle chided him.

Melody mocked him coldly, “What’s the point of telling you, anyway? Do you have any connections in this hospital?

“If it wasn’t for Kaysen communicating with the hospital, do you think that mom would have been transferred to the ICU this fast?

“You’re acting so snide with your comments. What are you trying to do?”

Miranda tugged at Clarence’s sleeve and said, “Belle, Melody, we came here as fast as we could.

“We’re to blame for our tardiness.

“What happened? How did mom get into an accident?”

Belle explained everything to Miranda.

Armstrong and Peony were taking their usual walk in the park after having dinner.

Unfortunately, there had been someone speeding on the road.

Armstrong managed to jump out of the way, but Peony suffered a terrible crash. She fell unconscious straight away.

Armstrong called Kaysen immediately and had Peony sent to the hospital.

“Did you catch the culprit?” Miranda frowned.

Kaysen replied in a defeated voice, “We got him… It’s the third young master of the Wright family.”

“Which Wright family?” Miranda was stunned.

Melody retorted, “Which Wright family? Is there another Wright family in the whole of Mediterranean City?”

Miranda shuddered. “Don’t tell me it’s the Wright family of the Three Big Families?”

Everyone nodded, not saying a word.

The room suddenly fell into absolute silence!

Clarence broke the silence. “Since we know who the culprit is, and since he was speeding at peak hour, there should have been many witnesses in the park, right?

“The third young master of the Wright family should bear full responsibility for Mom’s accident, then!”

Everyone looked at Clarence like he was a psycho.

Belle laughed coldly, “Clarence, I think there’s something wrong with your brain!

“Do you know what kind of person the Wright family’s third young master is?

“Just a word from him, and you’ll be dead the next second.”

“You’re seriously trying to hold him accountable?” Melody mocked him.

Clarence tried to explain his reasoning. “Since we all know who the culprit was, and we have witnesses, why shouldn’t he be held responsible?”

Kaysen looked at him like he was an idiot. “Clarence, you really don’t think things through, do you?

“Do you have any idea what kind of power the Wright family holds? You had better believe that you’ll be the one going to jail if you dare accuse the third young master of this.”

Crashing into someone else in broad daylight.

Having witnesses at the scene of the crime!

Just because the Wright family had committed the crime, nothing could be done about it?

Clarence was at a loss for words. “Are we just going to let it go?”

“If you have the guts, why don’t you go ahead and try to reason this out with the third young master?” Belle looked at Clarence in disdain.

“That’s right, why don’t you try that! Let’s see if you can defeat the Wright family!” Melody chimed in.

Clarence was furious. “All of you are so afraid of this?

“It’s your mom who’s been hurt, not just some stranger!

“All of you act so high and mighty, but when faced with the reality of this situation, you’re actually afraid?

“What great sons and daughters you are!”

Clarence’s words hit the Murphy family’s children right where it hurt.

Kaysen then retorted, “You piece of trash, who gave you the right to insult us like that?!”

“That’s enough, stop fighting.”

Armstrong’s baritone voice thundered at them. He was frustrated by all of the noise they were making.

Miranda stood beside the bed and asked, “Why is the doctor not here yet?”

Peony was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her brow furrowed and tense. She had beads of sweat all over her forehead. Even when unconscious, she was still suffering.

Kaysen regained his composure and replied, “I’ve contacted Dr. White, but he’s in a meeting right now.”

“Can’t he understand what kind of situation we’re in right now? Why is he still in a meeting when Mom is lying here unconscious?

“If he doesn’t do something soon, who knows what other problems might crop up?

“I’ll go get him!” Clarence rushed out of the room.

He had been able to assess Peony’s condition by looking through her body.

Peony’s ribs and sternum were fractured, and a few of her organs had sustained impact damage from the crash, causing internal bleeding.

If surgery was not performed immediately, there would undoubtedly be complications. Even worse, they might become fatal if enough time passed!

“Miranda, what is he doing?

“Dr. White said that he hates being disturbed while he’s in a meeting!

“If we offend him and he decides not to treat Mom, what are we supposed to do then?” Belle screamed in horror.

“That idiot, his stupid idea is going to get us all in trouble. Stop him right now!” Armstrong roared as he rushed out of the room.

The others followed suit behind him.
