Selena received a call from Wyatt when she was on her way back. “Hey, Selena. I’m sorry for disturbing you at this hour.”
“What’s wrong? Jude will be back home soon. Are you missing her already?”
“What do you mean? She told me she’d be busy for the following days due to her work.”
For that moment, Selena didn’t know how to reply to him. She thought Jude had told him the truth, but her friend had lied to him instead.
“What happened to her? Selena, please tell me what happened to her. Why did she lie to me?” Wyatt became agitated.
Left with no choice, Selena decided to tell him the truth. “Satan was involved in a car accident, and he’s now in the intensive care unit. Anyway, Jude has left the hospital, so you should wait for her at home.”
“I see…” Wyatt finally found out the man’s name. Before this, he never asked Jude what the man’s name was, and she never talked about him.
“Don’t read too much into this. Jude must have lied to you because she didn’t want you to worry. She should be back home soon. It goes to show that she cares about you,” Selena quickly explained.
“Okay. I’ll be waiting for her.”
After the call ended, Selena wanted to call Jude to explain what happened, but her phone had shut down automatically due to low battery. Left with no choice, she had to go back first. At that instant, she prayed that both Wyatt and Jude would be fine.
After leaning on the steering for a long time, Jude straightened up and returned to the hospital. In her heart, she told herself that she had to wait for Satan to regain consciousness. If he couldn’t awaken, she would be devastated for the rest of her life.
When she reached the hospital, she headed for the intensive care unit and realized that no one was outside the room when just moments ago, the nurses kept getting in and out of the room. However, now, she saw no nurses at all, so she wondered what had happened to the patients inside the room.
Just then, an idea came into her mind. She tried to push the door open and realized that it wasn’t locked. In a stealthy manner, she got into the intensive care unit. There were many compartments which were filled with critically ill patients.
After some searching, she finally saw Satan’s name on a door and pushed it open. His body was connected with many devices, which kept beeping. His heart rate and other physiological parameters were shown on the screen. His entire body was wrapped in bandages, so only his eyes were shown.
After Jude blinked, her tears dropped on the floor. She took a seat by the bed and held his hand. “Satan, you came to Digton to see me, didn’t you? The black car was yours, right? You saw Wyatt and me, right?” She spoke in a choking voice. At that moment, she could only try to connect the dots using her imagination.
Perhaps Satan became agitated after seeing how intimate Wyatt and I are. Furthermore, he isn’t familiar with the streets in Digton, so he unknowingly drove his car to the viaduct in the wrong direction, which then caused the accident.
“Satan, I didn’t tell you everything. Indeed, I went to look for you to save Selena’s son, but every single word I told you was sincere. I have never lied to you before. I really love you.”
However, Satan remained lying on the bed like a mummy.
