In the hospital.
The effect of the sedative began to wear off slowly. Grace gradually regained consciousness, opening her eyes.
Charlie rested his head on the bed, sleeping and wrinkling his handsome brow deeply.
Grace also frowned. She raised her hand and subconsciously touched his forehead, trying to smooth out the wrinkles on his brow.
Charlie was woken up from light sleep. He opened his eyes and asked, "You're awake? How are you feeling?"
"Quite well." Grace moved. "By the way,
how's the person I hit last night?"
She was in a daze at that time. She only remembered that she was very dizzy.
All she could see was a white flash.
When she bumped into the car in front of her, she was not completely unconscious. She remembered clearly that she had hit someone!
"The man was slightly bruised, but the woman was seriously injured. She had an operation last night. It was successful, but she's still in a coma. If she can wake up in forty-eight hours, she'll be safe."
"What if she can't wake up?" Grace asked.
Charlie paused. "Then she'll be in danger."
Grace fell silent, looking out the window. Charlie didn't know what she was thinking.
"I won't let anything happen to you!" Charlie stared at her, saying in a deep voice with a heavy heart, "I'll protect you!"
"What if they want to sue me?"
"As long as they are human beings, they have weaknesses. I'll grab their weaknesses!"
Charlie answered, "I will find their weaknesses no matter how long it takes."
