Chapter 260 An Unexpected Accident
"Miss Linsey! Hold on tight!"
In the face of the sudden situation, Verda had to turn the steering wheel to the right sharply.
Cecelia, in the back seat, tilted suddenly. She quickly grabbed onto the handrest to steady herself.
Instantly, their car collided head-on with the other vehicle, producing a loud, jarring crash.
"Bang..."
The accident had become inevitable.
After the collision, their car crashed into the right-side guardrail. Due to its high speed, the other car flipped over and skidded on the ground for several meters before stopping.
After the intense collision, there was a brief silence inside the car. Both Verda and Cecelia had fallen into unconsciousness due to the accident.
Meanwhile, outside the hotel entrance, Petunia and Maggie had already gotten into their car. Both of them witnessed the accident happening.
Petunia exclaimed in shock, "That was the car Cecelia was in, right?"
"Yes."
Maggie replied in a cold tone and instructed the driver, "Let's go!"
Their car drove away. Petunia thought about calling the police, but in the end, she didn't make the call.
Selfishness had taken hold of her heart. It would be better if Cecelia had a fatal accident, wouldn't it? Then there would be one less obstacle for her.
Petunia and Maggie seemed indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with them, and they left without offering help.
After a while, Cecelia gradually regained consciousness.
Her head had hit the back of the front seat, and her body was sore from multiple impacts. Upon waking, she realized that Verda was slumped over the steering wheel, motionless.
Their car's front end was severely damaged.
"Verda! Verda..."
No matter how Cecelia called out, Verda still didn't respond. Cecelia forced herself to stay calm, immediately reaching for her phone and dialing the emergency number.
After calling 911, she also contacted Remington.
Receiving Cecelia's call, Remington asked, "Cece, I'm taking Doris home first. I'll wait for you at the Nelson family's estate."
"Remington, I had a car accident..."
"What? Where are you now?"
"Near the hotel..."
"Are you alright? Did you get hurt?"
"I'm fine, but Verda is badly hurt..."
Cecelia's tone was anxious. She had exited the car, opened the driver's side door, and found Verda covered in blood, her injuries severe.
"Call 911 first; I'm on my way!"
Remington's car suddenly made a U-turn in the middle of the road and returned to the hotel.
When they arrived at the accident scene, police cars and ambulances were already there. Some medical workers were lifting Verda out of the vehicle.
"Cece!"
Remington sprinted over to Cecelia.
"How is Verda?"
"He's pretty badly hurt! I hope he'll be okay," Cecelia said with a heavy heart as she looked at Verda.
Remington glanced at Verda on the stretcher, his head covered in blood, clearly indicating the collision's severity.
"Are you injured too?"
"I'm fine! We need to find out the cause of the accident!"
Cecelia had a scrape on her forehead, but compared to Verda's injuries, hers seemed insignificant.
"I know."
The ambulance first took Verda to the hospital, with Remington arranging for Fredric to accompany him. The police then investigated the cause of the accident and took Cecelia's statement.
They also started looking into the information of the individuals involved in the other vehicle.
Remington had his people assist the police in their investigation, accessing the hotel's surveillance footage to see what had happened during the accident.
"Come with me first!"
