Maya's scream rang out in the car, and it took Elaine a while to realize what just happened.
Quickly, she looked at Ronan, who was sitting next to her. Seeing that Ronan was struggling to move his body, she immediately stopped him. "Grandpa, don't move!"
Ronan looked like he was in pain. " Elaine... Are you guys all right?"
She tried to move her body. Fortunately, she did not feel any pain, so she thought she should be fine.
"I'm fine, Grandpa..."
Elaine answered.
Ronan tried to move his leg, but the next moment, he felt some discomfort. "My leg is stuck..."
Elaine comforted him. "Don't be afraid. The hospital is right in front of us. We'll be fine. Someone has already called an ambulance, and it will be arriving soon..."
The accident occurred on the main road. Hence, many people flocked over when they saw the accident happen. Some of them even tried to help them out of the car.
Maya was extremely shocked. Elaine was unsure whether Maya was seriously injured, but she heard her shouting non-stop.
On the other hand, the driver was panic-stricken as well. He kept muttering to himself.
Soon, the sound of the ambulance's sirens could be heard getting louder.
Not long after, the car door was opened, and Elaine was dragged out of the car by a medic. She lost her balance for a moment...
After calming down, she wanted to check up on Ronan, but a nurse stopped her. "Miss, please sit here and don't move around. Leave the rest to us!"
Nodding, Elaine stood where she was, feeling relieved that she was still alive.
Coming to think of what happened earlier, she felt a chill run down her spine.
After a while, Ronan was also pulled out of the car.
His leg was injured, but he was relatively clearheaded...
The scene was in a chaos.
It suddenly occurred to Elaine that when the accident happened, she was on the phone with Howard...
After finding her phone on the ground, she noticed that the screen had already gone black. She wondered if her phone was already broken.
Grabbing her phone, she followed the medic and got onto the ambulance.
At the Emergency Department.
As soon as Elaine got out of the ambulance, she saw Howard standing by the door. Stunned for a moment, she said, "Dr. Perkins..."
Immediately, Howard strode over. Seeing that she was fine, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Elaine told him the whole incident, "We were caught up in a car accident on our way here. Fortunately, Grandpa was not seriously injured. He only hurt his leg..."
As they were talking, the medic pushed Ronan out of the ambulance.
Hurriedly, Howard walked up to him. Holding Howard's hand, Ronan uttered, "Howard, you..."
"I'm fine, Grandpa. Don't worry. Let the doctor treat your leg first." Howard comforted him. "Once you get treated, we'll talk about what happened to me."
Ronan nodded.
Both the driver and Maya suffered minor injuries, and the doctor brought them inside to clean up
their wounds.
Although Elaine did not suffer any serious injuries, her arm was bleeding.
Watching Howard and the doctor leave, she stood frozen for a while before following after them.
Along the way, blood kept oozing from her wound. Covering the wound with her coat, she approached a nurse to ask for help. "Miss, can you help me clean up my wound?"
Taking a look at her wound, the nurse asked, "Did you come alone? Where are your family members?"
Howard did not notice that she was injured. However, it was not convenient for her to tell him since he already had enough on his plate. He must be worried sick about Ronan. Anyway, it was just a small wound, so she thought there was no need to add to his concern.
Seeing Elaine keeping quiet, the nurse did not ask any more questions and moved on to treat her wound.
"Thank you." Elaine thanked her.
Seeing that she was all alone, the nurse felt sorry for her. So, she said, "Go and buy some antiinflammatory medicine. Also, come back tomorrow to change your bandage. You'll be fine after a few days. It's nothing serious."
Elaine hummed.
Only after the nurse left that Elaine went back to the emergency room.
