Chapter 210 He Lost the Right Leg

Susan just turned to leave, and didn't wanna waste more time on Manuel. It didn't matter to her whether he really loved her or just did it to keep a foothold in Phillips family. She just wanted to marry Henry now, then cut off all the relation with Manuel and Justine.

"Susan." Manuel watched her leaving and reached out to pull her.

Susan was disgusted with him. It was true that she hated it a lot when Manuel took the initiative to do anything to her. At that moment, she went extreme. She knocked his hand off crazily the moment Manuel grabbed her arm.

She admitted that she did it with strength, since she really disliked it when Manuel was getting close to her or touching her.

But her strength was little to Manuel, and she didn't expect that Manuel would lose his balance and take a few steps backwards.

It was a main street of the city behind his back. There were still few vehicles on the street in the night, though not too many. At that moment, a car coming towards them very fast from far away.

The driver didn't have enough time to jam on the brake and stop the car when he saw Manuel on the street. He did slow down a little but Manuel was still hit by the car.

Bang!

Susan hadn't realized what had happened and simply saw Manuel bump onto the hood, fall onto the ground and roll over a couple of times. Then she found him with blood all over. It was blood everywhere... She was frozen there. She just pushed him randomly but she'd never thought of getting him killed. Seriously, she had never wanted him to die. She was glued to the spot for a while, and she even forgot to stop the hit-and-run driver.

Later, instead of calling Henry, she called Hannah with shaking hands. It seemed that she trusted Hannah only in this world, and she could only count on Hannah.

There came the footsteps from the corridor of the hospital.

Hannah and Susan looked back at the same time, seeing Edward, Justine and Henry hurrying towards them.

"What happened? How did the car accident happen?" Edward asked with concern.

At that time, Justine's face was deadly pale.

Susan bit her lips hard but said nothing, while Hannah didn't explain for her, either.

"What's going on in the ER now?" Edward asked again.

"He's been in there for around thirty minutes." Susan said in a low voice.

"How did it happen?" Edward was confused but comforted Justine instantly, "Don't worry. Everything's gonna be OK. I believe Manuel will be fine. Don't freak out."

He was always so good and sweet to Justine. It was true that he had loved her for a lifetime and cared too much about her.

Susan watched them coldly, gnashed but didn't blow up this time. She chose to be silent because of Manuel's accident. Henry had come to Susan and held her in his arms, looking like he was comforting her. Hannah felt kinda embarrassed at that moment. She glanced at Henry quietly and then looked away. A while later, there came the footsteps from the corridor again.

It was the traffic police. It was a serious car accident, so they came for investigation. Susan told them the whole thing.

Justine couldn't help it any more, "You pushed Manuel?"

Susan looked down.

The traffic police confirmed with Susan once again, "Miss Phillips, I want you to confirm one more time if you've pushed Manuel Johnson to the street and caused the car accident."

Henry cut in directly while Susan was about to answer him, "They should have pushed each other. Susan called me and told me that she was having a fight with Manuel. Was that right, Susan?"

Susan looked at Henry. Apparently, Henry was smart enough to get her out of trouble. Hannah used to think Henry did care so much about Susan that he would break the law for her, but she got to know now that he was only consolidating at every step for himself.

"Was that true, Miss Phillips?" The traffic police asked again.

Susan finally nodded. She knew Henry was trying to help her.

"OK." The police finished recording and said, "We're tracking the hit-and-run driver. We'll contact you as soon as we replace it. Please keep your phone on 24/7 and don't leave the city."

The police left. It was quiet again in the corridor, where they were waiting for the end of the surgery in silence. But things had become more terrifying in the quietness.

Susan felt her heart beating rapidly and disorderly, feeling that she would be occupied by anxiety until Manuel came out.

It had been a long long time. Finally, the door of the operating room was open. A doctor came out first and looked a little tired.

Justine and the others ran over to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how's my son?"

"The surgery was a success. The patient is out of danger now. Fortunately, you've brought him in right on time." said the doctor.

Hearing it, Justine sighed with relief. And Susan felt weight off her shoulders, too. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if Manuel died...

"But..." Suddenly, the doctor paused and added, which had made everyone nervous again.

"The patient's legs were the most seriously injured, especially the right one. It almost broke off. We've managed to sew it up and stabilize it with the support, but we're not sure it will work." "You mean..." Justine stared at the doctor unbelievably and said, "My son will be a cripple?"

"For the time being, the left leg can walk properly after appropriate treatment and recovery, but for the right leg... Sorry. I can't guarantee it now." the doctor said straightforwardly. "No! My son can't lose his right leg! No!" Justine was agitated.

She'd never lost control of herself in so many years, and always appeared to be a very noble and elegant lady. But she was much too upset to remain the image now.

"Please calm down, Ma'am. This is our preliminary estimation only. When the patient gets better and receives appropriate treatment, miracle might happen." the doctor consoled them.

Miracle?

In this world, miracle seldom happened.

But in the end, miracle did happen.

So, Hannah was calm and cool while the others were down and sad. Then she threw her eyes on Susan, who was so guilty that she would rather die for what she'd done!
