Chapter 644
The car window rolled up slowly, and the black sports vehicle was no longer in sight.
Benjamin was hemmed in by a crowd of people. People who were worried called the emergency number, and the ambulance came quickly.
No one dared to stop the black sports car.
The car had no license plate.
However, even if there was a license plate, it wouldn't have done much to help Benjamin.
Once the paramedics helped Benjamin to the ambulance, he was taken to the hospital. Meanwhile, someone discovered Benjamin's phone and found Lilian's contact number.
Alistair and Lilian were in the room when they heard the sound of the ambulance below.
Just as they were going to complain about how annoying the noise was, the phone rang.
When Lilian saw that it was Benjamin calling her, she was overjoyed and answered the phone, Baby!"
The tone of her voice was really caring and comforting.
The nurse on the phone couldn't help but shudder. She had never used that kind of tone even when she was screaming for her idols with excitement.
She adjusted her tone and said, "Hello, are you a family member of the person who owns this phone? Here's the thing. The phone's owner was involved in a car crash. Right now, we're on our way to send him to the hospital. If you can, please get yourself to the hospital right now."
It was at that point that Lilian stopped hearing what the nurse said.
The phone fell to the ground. Lilian's face turned pale and her body started trembling.
"What happened?" Alistair, noticing her stony expression, asked abruptly.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Lilian looked at him with bloodshot eyes and said, "Something happened to Benjamin. I have to go to the hospital."
Alistair's expression changed as well.
By the time Lilian got to the hospital, Benjamin had already been taken to the operating theater.
Once Lilian came, she seized a nurse and gripped her by the neck, demanding in hysteria, "What did you do to my son? Tell me now, where's my son?
"Listen up, if anything happens to my son, you will all pay with your lives!"
Shock radiated from the nurse's face. Thankfully, hospital security officers arrived on the scene promptly and restrained Lilian.
At this second, a few people approached.
Those who arrived were Elodia and four guards from the Northernville Manor.
At first sight of Elodia, Lilian hurled a barrage of curse words and insults at her. She even went as far as physically assaulting Elodia.
Elodia was the first to speak. "Something had happened to Benjamin. I've already paid the surgery fees for him. If it weren't for me, no one would have signed the consent form or paid the fees on his behalf. He wouldn't be able to have the operation even if he wanted to."
After hearing Elodia's words, Lilian fired back, "You're Benjamin's sister! It is your duty to keep him safe!"
She was still bitter at Elodia for breaking Alistair's leg. Impatiently, she continued, "Then why don't you foot the bill for your father's operation as well? Your dad is still in the hotel!"
Elodia seemed to be fine with it when she agreed, "Sure, I'll call for an ambulance to pick him up now."
It was only then that was Lilian satisfied.
She gave Elodia a disapproving look and huffed, "At least you're being courteous and still remember that you're from the Hudson family."
Elodia smiled and didn't say anything.
An hour later, Alistair was sent to the hospital as well.
The doctors and nurses were taken aback by what they found when they examined Alistair's leg. However, despite the severity of his leg injury, he avoided going to the emergency room. Instead, he stayed at the hotel to endure the pain.
This was really... something astonishing.
Was his leg still working?
Elodia was more than glad to pay Alistair's medical fees.
Two hours later, Benjamin came out from the operation theatre.
Lilian immediately rushed up and asked, "How's my son?"
The doctor said, "The operation went well. He survived, but he may have permanent damage to his legs. Still, he ought should be able to move around with the use of a crutch."
Elodia wasn't surprised since she only asked Skydragon's men to hurt Benjamin, but she didn't ask them to take his life.
Lilian was stunned.
By the time she regained her senses, the doctor had already left.
Seeing that the doctor was no longer around, Lilian pounced on Elodia, but she was held back by the guards. Unable to get close to Elodia, Lilian pointed her finger at Elodia and yelled.
"You're the reason for all of this bad fortune. If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to take some money from you, why would such a thing happen to Benjamin?
"My poor son, how bitter your life is!"
Elodia and the others had strange expressions on their faces. Elodia asked, "He said that he wanted to take the money from me?"
Lilian was still in the middle of screaming at Elodia, "Because of your uselessness, you can't even take your own money from the bank, and you need to deposit Benjamin's money in addition to ours. Under these circumstances, how is it even possible that anything this bad could happen to Benjamin?
"Why was it not you who got hit by the car? Why?"
Lilian was in hysterics.
Elodia's face became icy. She had long since given up hope for the Hudson family, so Lilian's judgment did not sting.
She sneered, So Benjamin used such an excuse to cheat both of your money.'
Lilian was stunned and she asked, "What do you mean? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Elodia said, "Didn't Benjamin tell you? He failed to kidnap me and I took back all the money.
"In other words, he doesn't have a single penny left. That's why he made up an excuse to cheat both of your money.
"Since he has both of your money in his hands, he will definitely flee. He doesn't give a hoot whether you're dead or alive.
"You guys have really raised a good son!"
Elodia was in a good mood.
Lilian was dumbfounded. She opened her mouth, but she refused to admit it. "Nonsense! My baby won't lie to us. He's been obedient and sensible since he was young. He's the best!"
"Yes, he's the best. Then why would he lie to you? Why would I withdraw money for you? You're obviously dreaming too!" Elodia retorted.
"Damn you, girl! You still won't admit it? Why did you help your dad and Benjamin out with the medical bills if you don't care about us?"
Lilian refused to believe Elodia.
She was certain that Elodia was afraid of them and was still willing to be used by them.
Elodia said, That's right! Why would I not care about you guys?
"At such a crucial time, I am the only one who's willing to cover the medical bills with the money that Benjamin cheated on you. Because of this, the hospital agreed to perform the surgery on him. "Oh, right, Alistair's surgical fees will be deducted from the fund as well.
"This is all the money there is. It won't be around for much longer. You should make the effort to save every penny there is. Perhaps the money will be sufficient to get them through till they can be discharged from the hospital."
Alistair Hudson was Elodia's father.
That being said, Elodia didn't even bother to glance back at Lilian before turning around and walking away.
The earth seemed to hold Lilian in place. Her thoughts seemed to be jumbled up when she tried to process Elodia's comments.
Elodia had already left by the time Lilian finished processing what she had heard.
