Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 62

I rush to the operating room. The lights inside are still on. I lost my strength and collapse to the ground.

"Are you the patient's family?" The nurse asks me.

"Yes!" I grab her hand. "How's my mom? Is her life in danger?"

The nurse's probably used to it, so she looks calm. "She just went into surgery. We are not sure what's going on yet."

"Why did she suddenly pass out? Who sent her here?"

When I left, my mother was still at home. If she passed out at home, no one would know unless she called an ambulance.

Thinking of this, I feel extremely regretful. Why didn't stay at home with her?

The nurse checks the record and says, "She didn't pass out. She had a car accident."

"What?!" I stand up from the ground and take the record from her.

It says my mom had a car accident at 4 p.m.

"A car accident? How could that be?" I'm

completely in shock.

Mom doesn't usually go out in the afternoons. How could she have a car accident at this time?

And the accident took place at a crossroads in our neighborhood.

While I'm confused, two policemen come to me. "Excuse me, are you Chelsea Hodges?"

"Yes, I am."

"The driver is under investigation. We're here to ask you something." A policeman explains.

But I don't know anything about the accident.

The policeman looks at me and says, "According to what we know, your mother was crossing the street when she was hit, and the driver didn't see her."

"But my mom doesn't usually go out."

The policeman shakes his head. He says that he'll contact me at the first time if there's any progress.

After they left, I sit on the bench. In less than half a year, my mother had two operations. I wonder if she can take it.

She's been the most important person to me. I don't know if I could have gotten through the divorce without her.

But God doesn't treat her well. Bad health, car accident... What if she passes away?

Siting alone in the empty corridor, I feel extremely sad.

The next morning, the lights in the operating room finally go out. I stand up from the bench subconsciously. The next, I feel dizzy and almost collapse, because I haven't eaten anything for a long time.

"Are you all right?" The nurse quickly comes over to support me.

I shake my head and stand up. "How's my mother?"
