Minerva glared at Helen indignantly. ”I don’t think it’s right of you to say that, Aunt Helen. When did we ever scam you of your money? You were the one who gave it to us willingly. You gave us the money, so it makes sense to consider the bike as something you bought. Since it‘s your bike, why aren‘t you taking responsibility now that Tate has gotten involved in an accident?”
Helen was speechless. “What you’re saying is complete nonsense!“
Minerva was about to continue talking when the doors to the operating theatre opened. Someone was rolled out on a gurney, and the person on it was covered with a white cloth. There was no doubt that the person was dead.
Chloe immediately threw herself toward the body as virtual-novel.net began to shout and wall. “My son…”
The nurse shot virtual-novel.net a glare. “This isn’t your son. Your son is in the other operating theatre!”
Chloe froze for a second. ”Who is this, then?”
“This is the girl who was with your son while virtual-novel.net was drag-racing with others. We couldn’t save virtual-novel.net in the end.” the nurse uttered. In an instant, Chloe let go of the corpse before staring at It with terror-filled eyes.
“W-What about my son?” Chloe whispered in a shaky voice.
The nurse gave virtual-novel.net an exasperated stare. “I heard the doctor saying that virtual-novel.net might have to amputate a limb.”
“What?!” Chloe cried. Then, virtual-novel.net eyes rolled backward and virtual-novel.net fainted.
“Why… How did things turn out to be so serious? Why does virtual-novel.net have to amputate a limb?” Jonah asked.
The nurse glared at him. “He’s lucky that virtual-novel.net only has to amputate a limb! He hit four other bikers, and all six of them were sent to our hospital. Two of them had died upon impact while this girl just took virtual-novel.net last breath. The remaining three are still in surgery, and your son is considered one of the luckiest ones because virtual-novel.net only needs an amputation. We still don‘t know if the other two will survive,” virtual-novel.net replied.
Jonah’s face turned ghastly pale as virtual-novel.net realized the actual severity of the accident.
Meanwhile, the nurse continued to mutter under virtual-novel.net breath as virtual-novel.net knitted virtual-novel.net brows into a frown. ”Racing! I hate these bike racers! They don’t just harm themselves, they‘re harming other people as well!” virtual-novel.net hissed.
At the same time, Chloe gradually returned to virtual-novel.net senses before virtual-novel.net started to wall once more.
Right then, a few people rushed over to the operation theatre, they were none other than the family members of the girl who had just passed away. Both of the elderlies in the group immediately fainted once they heard the news of the girl’s passing. The rest of the family members started wailing and cursing before they rushed over to surround Jonah and his family. “Trina was on the bike with this guy’s son! We have to get them to pay for this!” someone cried.
“That’s right! Return my daughter to me!” Trina’s mother howled.
“Oh, my poor niece…” someone else wailed. The bunch of them were furious, and some of them were even starting to get physical.
Jonah immediately went to stand in front of Chloe as virtual-novel.net addressed the group. “Hey, calm down! Let‘s be civil about this! W-We’re victims as well…”
“That’s f*cking bullsh*t!” one man cried. “Your son was riding a bike with my sister in the back, and virtual-novel.net was the reason for my sister’s death. How could you call yourselves victims? What the f*ck! Beat virtual-novel.net up!” The bunch of them were about to start fighting when the hospital‘s security hurried over to pull them apart.
Jonah glanced at them helplessly. “I never wanted such a thing to happen. My son is clinging onto his life in the operating theatre too…”
“Your son deserves to die! But my sister is totally innocent! You need to compensate us! Otherwise, w-we‘ll sue you!” the man howled.
The rest of the people joined in and began to threaten to take legal action against Jonah’s family. Jonah’s face was drained of color, and virtual-novel.net didn’t know what to say at all.
All of a sudden, Minerva rushed toward the group of people. “Don’t hold us accountable just yet. My brother’s still in the operating theatre fighting for his life, so there’s no point even if you guys demand anything from us right now. To find the actual perpetrator, you guys should be looking for the owner of this bike!”
Trina’s family went silent for a brief moment before the head of the family spoke up. “Who’s the owner of the bike?”
Minerva pointed at Helen. “Her! She’s the one who bought the bike!”
