Chapter 300: An Accident
Alexander was in his office when he suddenly received a call from one of his men, who was discreetly guarding Rain.
"Boss, Mrs. Lancaster’s car had an accident. She was rushed to Clayton University Hospital along with Matt," his man reported urgently. "She’s in the operating room now, and her father is leading the operation."
The news made Alexander’s hand slip, dropping the cup of coffee he had been holding. Without a second thought, he bolted out of his office, leaving Dion to scramble after him in a panic.
The words "accident" and "operating room" echoed in his mind as his chest tightened with panic.
"Dion, have the car ready now!" he barked, his voice trembling with urgency as he stormed toward the elevator.
"Boss, what happened?!" Dion shouted, rushing after him.
As soon as Alexander reached the car, he climbed in, Dion right behind him. "Rain had an accident," Alexander managed to get out, his voice trembling. "She’s at Clayton University Hospital. Just drive!"
The car screeched out of the driveway, the tension inside palpable. Alexander leaned forward, his elbows on his knees, running a hand through his hair repeatedly. His mind was racing, imagining every worst-case scenario despite his desperate prayers to keep Rain safe.
"Boss, we’ll get there soon," Dion reassured him, though his own voice betrayed worry.
