Chapter 103 A Sudden Accident
“Joe…”
Being humiliated in public, Wendy felt deeply resentful. She looked at Joe with a sense of grievance, but his gaze remained fixed on Charlotte’s retreating figure.
It felt like a resounding slap on Wendy’s face.
Her eyes filled with resentment as she stared in the direction Charlotte had left. She couldn’t take it anymore!
Joe hadn’t noticed her unusual behavior.
In that split second, an odd sensation gripped his heart. He felt that if he didn’t follow Charlotte, he would regret it later.
With that thought, Joe also walked quickly with a gloomy expression.
Charlotte’s heart raced as she ran, eventually flinging her high heels aside and continuing barefoot.
She rushed to the garden area, where she saw Ben lying on the ground with closed eyes. Anna was crying by his side, breathless. Danny, who should have been with them, was
nowhere to be found.
Trembling, Charlotte hurriedly approached, half-kneeling on the ground to check on Ben’s condition.
At that moment, Ben’s eyes were tightly shut, his face and
hands scraped, with bloodstains on the ground beneath him, indicating bleeding from somewhere.
Charlotte dared not move him recklessly. With a tremor in her voice, she called his name, trying to awaken him, and she
cradled Anna in her arms.
Ben didn’t respond. Then David arrived and covered him with his suit jacket, furrowing his brows as he looked at Joe. “You…”
“The doctor is on the way,” Joe’s voice was deep, his gaze fixed
on Ben.
Charlotte took a deep breath, suppressing her anxiety, and
asked Anna in a gentle voice, “Anna, don’t be afraid. Tell
Mommy what happened.”
Anna cried, her face turning red, and it took her a while to
catch her breath. She said in a broken and intermittent voice, “Ben fell down the stairs! He fell from such a high place… and there’s so much blood… Please save him! Mommy, I don’t want Ben to die!”
Hearing Anna’s helpless voice, Charlotte was nearly overwhelmed by regret. Why had she thought the banquet hall was safe without watching them all the way?
Mrs. Lucky Johnson, who had rushed over, was also shocked. She asked urgently, “How did this happen? Where’s Danny?”
When Anna heard Danny’s name, she suddenly hid in Charlotte’s embrace,
“He pushed Ben! He pushed Ben!”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
The people present changed their expressions as soon as those words were spoken.
Mr. Goergie Johnson raised his eyebrows, “Anna is still young. She is talking nonsense. How could Danny possibly push Ben?”
Anna’s already nervous emotions gradually collapsed, and she burst into loud sobs. “I didn’t lie. Danny indeed pushed Ben!”
Seeing the little child cry hard, Joe spoke before Charlotte, “She’s just a three-year-old child. Mr. Goergie Johnson, is it necessary to doubt her honesty?”
Upon hearing this from Joe, Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, at that moment, Anna hadn’t heard Joe’s words clearly and didn’t object either.
David also frowned. Danny seemed like a shy child; he shouldn’t be capable of such an act.
In a gentle tone, David said, “Anna, could it be that you were too scared and misunderstood? How could Danny push Ben?”
Suspected by the trusted elder, Anna became even more distraught, crying uncontrollably.
Charlotte tried several times to comfort her with gentle words and finally managed to soothe her somewhat.
“Although my daughter is young, she will never lie. Let’s talk about the details after we find Danny.” Charlotte said coldly.
David’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and before he could explain, the doctor had arrived quickly.
