After Eudora went back, she tidied up herself and prepared breakfast for Sugar Bun. Shortly after, Charlie also came back.
Eudora looked at Charlie eagerly. She could not relax until he had told her that everything went well and Juju was elated as well. Then, she felt at ease.
"That's good."
After a short pause, she said, "I've cooked a lot of food. All of you should eat it! I'll ask the driver to send me to the company."
She had not slept well the previous night. On the way to the company, Eudora relaxed and closed her eyes to rest for a bit.
They arrived at the crossroads.
The driver was murmuring in his seat, "There seems to be an accident in front. There are many people. Madam, shall we take another route?"
Eudora nodded in a daze, "Okay!"
Then, the driver turned around.
As soon as the car turned around, Eudora heard a sharp honk. Then, her whole body shuddered violently, and she heard a loud bang. She was completely awakened.
She felt a sharp pain on her leg.
The driver shouted, "Madam, are you alright?"
Eudora subconsciously rubbed her aching leg. She endured the pain and said, "I'm fine."
"I think we've been hit on the side. I'll call the police immediately!"
Although the scene was chaotic, Eudora felt calm for some reason.
"Then, I'll call for an ambulance!"
After she ended the phone call, the driver led her out from the other side. Eudora finally saw what had gone down.
Like what the driver had said, there had been a car accident in front of them, and half of the road was blocked.
There was only one lane left. In the end, a truck that did not slow down had hit them from the side.
The driver was anxious and kept asking Eudora, "Madam, are you really all right?"
"I'm fine. It's probably just a small fracture. It shouldn't be a big deal."
The calmer she was, and the more she said she was fine, the more nervous the driver became.
"I'm sorry, Madam. It's my fault."
"I'm seriously all right!" Eudora shook her head.
She was telling the truth. She had forgotten how many times her body and leg had been injured. She had already grown used to it, and she could theorize what kind of injury she had from the pain.
She did not think that she had suffered a major fracture. It should not be that serious and she would be fine after some rest!
The driver was almost scared to tears. Soon, Clint and the ambulance arrived at the same time.
The driver kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, Assistant Zuckerberg. It's all my fault."
Clint frowned, "Enough. Madam has already said that it's all right. Let's not talk about this. I'll follow her to the hospital. You, stay here and handle the police report."
Eudora tried to smooth things over, "It's fine. You don't have to take it too seriously."
Clint sighed and felt upset.
Looking at how tough she was acting made him feel worse. If Mr. Granger was still around, she would not have to act tough.
In the hospital, the diagnosis turned out to be the same as Eudora had expected.
It was indeed a minor fracture. The doctor gave her a suggestion.
The doctor suggested to her, "You'll need to stay at the hospital for at least a week. Well put a cast on your leg and you have to make sure not to touch the wound."
Eudora tried to talk her way out of it, "Doctor, I really feel fine. I have experience in this. I will take care of myself. Let me be discharged. I can find a doctor and get treatment..."
