Chapter 63 - Fifty-Three
LEO
"How is he?" I rush out, not moving an inch from my spot as if my feet have rooted themselves in that place.
"Thankfully not too bad considering the viciousness of an accident he got into." Ruth says, professionalism pouring out from his every attribute with a hint of relief. "He has very good luck to count on."
"What do you mean?" I arch a brow, not quite understanding what he is talking about.
"I mean, this man is almost unscathed and that’s because of his extremely quick witted decision and luck." Ruth explains in an easy way, "When the two cars were about to clash he moved away from his seat to the passenger seat in a matter of seconds. In the process he sprained his ankle and hit his head. It caused him to lose his consciousness"
All of a sudden I feel like a large burden has lifted from my chest and I can breathe again though the worry and fear still lingers. "Thank God." I mutter underneath my breath, "B-But how do you know that?"
"Common sense." Ruth shrugs his shoulders, "The driver seat is usually on the left and he was rescued from the right then again the left side was completely crushed. Do you know what it means? It means if he was still sitting on that seat then he would end up like..." He tails off and a hint of grief flares in his green eyes.
He doesn’t really finish the sentence because it’s obvious that if Erwin still had sat on that seat then he would have ended up like Alice. A storm of cold shivers jolt down my spine. Every single hair in my body rises. An unbearable fear consumes my mind and my breath trembles.
Ruth notices my reaction and pets my shoulder, "But it’s all okay now, Leo." He tries to comfort me, "He is fine now. He can be discharged as soon as he wakes up. There’s no need to be afraid anymore."
