Love Contract novel Chapter 279

In the intensive care unit of a hospital, Frank was lying on the bed with an oxygen mask. His head was bandaged and his legs were in plaster. Due to his serious injury, he was currently in a coma and would not recover anytime soon.

In front of the glass window, William was shocked to see Frank like this.

"William!" Supported by someone, Felipe walked out of the ward and took off his mask. To William's surprise, Felipe seemed like he had aged ten years overnight.

"Uncle Felipe." William bowed respectfully to him and asked, "How is Frank?"

"He just had an operation, but I'm afraid he's still in danger." Felipe sighed and sat on the chair aside. "I don't know when he will wake up.

"He will be fine," reassured William. "Uncle Felipe, with all due respect, what happened to Frank?" he asked in confusion.

"He had a car accident in his sister's cemetery last night."

"The cemetery? Last night?" William was shocked. When he had left Frank alone, Frank was still well. Albeit hurt and miserable, he was alive. "How could this be?"

"Tell him!" Felipe waved his hand.

"Yes, sir!" The bodyguard standing aside said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Mr. Lan, according to my investigation, young master was hit by a car last night when he suddenly rushed out of the cemetery. Uncle Eden, the man who is guarding the cemetery, said that when he ran out, he was calling your name."

Hearing that, William frowned and his heart sank. He turned to Felipe and said, "Uncle Felipe, I'm sorry!"

"It's none of your business," Felipe responded in a hoarse voice. "It's lucky that he didn't die, unlike Sansa."

Sansa...

William's Adam's apple rolled and he clenched his fists tightly. Things were getting out of his control!

"I can see that he insisted on chasing after you. But you only feel responsible for taking care of him." Felipe heaved a sigh and continued, "I just hope he can understand this time."

"I gave him hope. I'm responsible for this, Uncle Felipe. I sincerely apologize." William lowered his head in shame and regret.

"I don't want you to apologize. I have let go of Sansa as well. I believe everything that happens is not always someone's fault. Everyone has his or her own fate. She was not satisfied with the marriage I chose for her. In fact, she would rather die for you."

Hearing that, William fell silent.

"William, I heard that you have children now?" Felipe asked again.

"Yes, I do." William nodded and added, "I have a family now."

"Good." Felipe nodded and held his crutch with his wrinkled hands. "You are better than him."

"He will be fine, too."

"No, he won't be," Felipe snorted. "I heard that he had been with a man from Japan in the past four years. Well, as long as he could wake up, I won't force him to do anything."

William stood aside and said nothing. He knew who Uncle Felipe was pertaining to. It was none other than Corbett! Who knew if the man from Japan really loved Frank? Anyway, it was none of his business. For once, it felt good admitting that something was out of his hands.

"William, I called you here today to ask for a favor. Would you mind?"

"Of course not!"

"That's good, that's good." Felipe nodded and said, "I came back in a hurry yesterday. About Frank's injuries, could you call a better doctor to check him up?"

"Okay," responded William while nodding, "I will take care of everything. Just leave it to me. Uncle Felipe, please take care of yourself."

"Okay. Thank you, William."

"You're welcome, Uncle Felipe." After pausing for quite some time, William spoke again. "I have to go now."

"Go ahead." Felipe nodded his head slightly. His eyes darted from William, who was leaving, to Frank, who was in coma. Slowly, he closed his eyes.

As William walked out of the hospital, he called his men and asked them to take good care of Frank. When he was about to put down his phone, he saw a name in his contact list. At the sight of her name, his heart ached.

Mary...

Without any hesitation, he dialed her number. Beep. Beep. Beep.

When Mary was driving, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID but when she saw it, she turned her face away, pretending not to see who it was.

Ring! Ring! Ring! The phone rang several times in a row, making Mary a little annoyed.

"Mommy, who is calling you?" Alick asked innocently. "Why don't you answer it?"

"You can't answer the phone while driving," Mary responded with a cold face.

"Right!" Elissa was so bored that she climbed from the back seat to the passenger seat. She grabbed the phone that was still ringing and mumbled, "Then let me check who is calling Mommy!"

"Put it down, Elissa!"

"No!" Elissa pouted stubbornly. All of a sudden, her expression changed when she saw the caller ID. "It's Dad!"

"Really?" Alick also came over excitedly.

"Don't answer it!"

Mary tried to stop them. However, Elissa acted so fast.

As soon as the phone was connected, William heard Mary's angry voice. Startled, he asked, "Mary?"

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

Two clear voices came through the phone, and William almost burst into tears.

"Good babies! Hi, Alick and Elissa!"

"Dad, I miss you so much!"

"I miss you too, Dad!"

"Dad misses you guys too!" William smiled. He was choking with sobs, but he did his best to conceal it. "Where are you?"

"In the car!"
