NovelGoldChapter 1417: 1417. Sudden Accident "Speaking of which," she again flashed that deceptively charming little canine tooth, and even though Elly Campbell knew that this young man's thoughts were impure, she nonetheless felt embarrassed to scold him.
Preoccupied with her thoughts, Elly Campbell didn't talk much to Leo Hall, and instead quickened her pace toward the hospital building.
Watching Elly Campbell's retreating figure, the seemingly clear and innocent youth's eyes were suddenly tinged with a sinister smile.
"Such an interesting woman would surely be even more delightful as a specimen." Beautiful fingers lightly brushed over the chin, fixating on Elly Campbell's departing silhouette, which gradually disappeared from sight.
Ever since that day Adam Jones had spoken to her about William Hall, Elly instinctively distrusted the father and son duo.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough Leo Hall looked harmless, he was too harmless; to the point where Elly felt it was unreal.
It was by chance she ran into him again at the hospital, and thinking about her previous anxiety, she quickened her steps even more.
After triple checking that everything was normal, Elly once again instructively reminded her bodyguards several times before she left the hospital.
When she cout, she found that the driver was not waiting in place, and as she was about to call him, the driver's call cin at that moment.
"Madam, the car's tire has been slashed. I'm at the repair shop changing the tire, please wait over there for a moment." "Okay." After hanging up, Elly Campbell's brows furrowed ever so slightly.
The tire was slashed? The car was parked in the hospital parking lot just fine, so how could the tire be slashed? She couldn't help but remember encountering Leo Hall at the hospital entrance, and her suspicions deepened.
She didn't wait inside the hospital, but walked to the side of the road at the hospital's main entrance.
At this time, it wasn't the peak of rush hour, and there weren't many cars and pedestrians on the road. At the nearby bus stop, a few people were scattered, waiting for the bus.
Just then, a disturbance, accompanied by crashing sounds and the screams of the crowd, emanated from not far away.
Elly instinctively looked up, only to see a large truck charging directly towards her at high speed, without any indication of braking.
The truck was big and fast; by the tElly realized what was happening, it was already upon her. A wall was right behind her, leaving no place for her to hide.
Cold sweat climbed instantly up her spine, and in the next second, an immense force pushed her forcefully aside, followed by a deafening crash right beside her ear.
Watching the scene before her, Elly was completely stunned.
The truck had hit exactly where she had just been standing; had she not been pushed away, she would likely have been crushed into a pulp by now. At that moment, her legs were weak, and she could only stare blankly at the damaged wall in front of her.
Remembering the person who had just pushed her, she suddenly snapped back to reality.
A low grunt was heard by her side, along with a plaintive "Sister-in-law" ringing in her ear.
Elly turned her head and saw Leo Hall lying pale beside her, his expression in pain, but he was biting his lip and enduring it. When he caught her gaze, he managed to show her a comforting smile and with a weak voice, said, "I am fine." Elly: "..." She hadn't even asked if he was okay.
Even though she knew he was seriously injured, that deliberately subdued weak voice -was it too obviously feigned?
