Chapter 574 Unforeseen Accident

All he could do was yell in desperation, while the driver was sweating profusely. He was feeling fortunate that he managed to hit the brakes in time, or else he would've been involved in the crash. Meanwhile, smoke was still rising from the car in front of them, but nobody knew for sure how things were inside.

"Quick! Bring me over there!" Satan cried out to the driver. Then, Hades came to knock on the window of the car, to whom Satan quickly asked, "Hades, how are things in there?"

"I don't know. For now, I'll have someone send you back home!"

At that moment, Satan realized he had always been a burden to everybody else around him. I can't save her, nor can I be of help. I'm a nuisance who'll only give people trouble by staying here.

Later on, he watched as Jude's bloodied figure was carried into the ambulance. It happened that he also had firsthand experience of being carried into an ambulance on a stretcher, so he could totally empathize with Jude. He knew how much despair she must be feeling, but there was nothing he could do to ease her suffering.

After that, Jude was rushed to the hospital. While she was being treated, Satan waited for her in his wheelchair outside the emergency room. Fate sure works in weird ways. We used to be in a similar situation but I was the one lying in there, while Jude was the one waiting outside. Now, things have flipped.

Later on, Hades approached Satan to give him a tap on the shoulder. "Satan, why don't you go home for the time being? I'll update you as soon as I have news."

Satan didn't move, nor did he speak. In the end, I'm someone who has to rely on others' care.

"Satan, I'm not trying to imply anything. Jude's condition has yet to stabilize, so you can't do much by staying here. It would be better if you wait for my updates at home."

Yeah, I'm just a burden who can't do anything to help. There's no point in me staying here. Without a word, he turned around to leave in his wheelchair.

Upon noticing that, Hades immediately ordered one of his subordinates to follow behind Satan. Then, he lifted his head to check on the lights of the emergency room. Jude, you need to be alright, or else I'll be a sinner!

The lights on the emergency room sign went out after half an hour. Aside from the fact that Jude was wrapped up like a mummy before being transferred into a regular ward, she seemed alright. Hades followed her inside before chiding, "You have taken too huge of a risk!"

On the other hand, Jude was still spacing out a little. The doctor diagnosed her with a minor concussion, so she had to be hospitalized for further observation. "He won't believe that the accident is real if I came out unscathed. Satan is too observant, so we can't fool him that easily."

The accident was actually a plot they came up with. In fact, Jude had spent a long time before coming up with the idea. Knowing that she was the only one whom Satan was still concerned about, the only way to make him want to stand up again would be to fake an accident where she would get hurt.

They had to make sure Satan could only watch in trepidation, which should trigger him to want to recover. Therefore, Hades didn't agree to the plan right away during their initial discussion. They even consulted a psychologist on the matter.

According to the psychologist, it might be a plausible solution to their predicament. However, the psychologist also warned them of the two possible radical outcomes that were on two ends of a spectrum. Either Satan would try to stand up in order to protect the person he loved deeply, or he would try to commit suicide due to a self-destructive streak while feeling like trash. Either outcome was possible.

After some discussion, Jude and Hades decided to put the plan into action. Initially, they only planned for a minor accident, as Hades didn't want Jude to get hurt. However, he didn't expect her to change the plan without informing him. In the end, she got hurt. If things went wrong, she could have died.

"Where's Satan? Did he wait for me?" Jude looked toward Hades anxiously.

"He did, but I managed to convince him to leave." Hades sat down on a chair that he found in the ward.

"Did he say anything?"
