The piercing sound of car alarms left Everett's ears throbbing.
"Jeffrey, Jeffrey!"
Everett called out, but received only silence in response.
Something was wrong.
Everett hastily dialed Kevin's number, instructing him to find out where an accident had occurred on the route to Bay Residence.
Langston, sitting next to him, was already a step ahead. He pointed to his phone screen, "It's likely on Labor Avenue; there's a massive traffic jam there."
Everett glanced at him, nodding without hesitation. "Stay at home. I'll give you access to the Lopez Corporation systems. Don't leave until I'm back."
Langston nodded. This wasn't the time to cause trouble. "Alright."
...
By the time Everett arrived on the scene, Jeffrey had already been rushed to the hospital.
Everett headed straight for the hospital, where he found Heather standing outside the emergency room. Her makeup was smeared from crying, and she seemed unable to stand without the support of the wall.
"Everett...you're finally here! How could something like this happen to Jeffrey?"
Everett's gaze first landed on the glaring red light of the emergency room before shifting to Heather.
"Who called to inform you?"
Jeffrey was on the phone with him when the accident occurred. There's no way he could've contacted Heather!
Caught off guard by his question, Heather momentarily forgot to continue crying. But she was a seasoned liar, quick on her feet.
"The hospital called me. They must've thought I was a relative since my number was on top of his contact list."
