Chapter 32 He Risked His Life to Protect Her
Ophelia's voice was drowned out by the intense impact.
In the final critical moment, Finnegan sharply turned the steering wheel, redirecting the car towards a large tree. The airbags deployed as the driver's side of the car was crushed by the tree. After a loud noise, everything fell silent.
Under the impact, Ophelia fell unconscious, but Finnegan's condition was even worse. The car windows were shattered, and the door was caved in.
In a crisis, people usually prioritize their own safety, but in such a crucial moment, Finnegan chose to protect Ophelia and aimed his side at the tree.
He reduced the danger on Ophelia's side, placing himself in the most dangerous situation. Not long after, Ophelia awakened from unconsciousness. Her head felt groggy, but miraculously, she had no external injuries.
Ophelia shook her head, fully regaining consciousness. She saw Finnegan's forehead bleeding profusely; his arm was cut by shattered glass, and he was unconscious.
Ophelia panicked immediately, "Mr. Abbott! Mr. Abbott!" After calling out to him several times, there was still no response from Finnegan.
Ophelia unbuckled her seatbelt and struggled to get out of the car. Her leg had been hit during the accident and was in pain, making every step difficult.
Ophelia went around to the driver's side, forcefully opened the door, and dragged Finnegan out of the car.
The area was deserted, with almost no passing vehicles. Ophelia first moved Finnegan to a safe place, then went back to the car to find her phone.
Despite her calm exterior, she was panicking and scared. Her hands were shaking, and her voice was trembling as she dialed for an ambulance.
Ophelia was afraid that something had happened to Finnegan. The driver's side of the car was the most damaged. The fact that she was almost unharmed was not due to luck, but because Finnegan had taken on all the risks.
Ophelia didn't know why Finnegan would do this. People usually prioritize their own lives in a crisis, but he chose to protect her. If she said she didn't feel anything welling up in her heart right now, it would be a lie.
After making the call, Ophelia sat next to the large tree while enveloping Finnegan in her arms, "Mr. Abbott, you mustn't let anything happen to you. If something happens to you, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life. Our baby will have no father. Finnegan, you can't die; I'm talking to you; you're going to be a father..."
Ophelia kept talking to Finnegan, but he showed no response.
Soon, the ambulance arrived, and Ophelia went to the hospital with it.
Finnegan was rushed into the operating room, so Ophelia, covered in blood, waited outside the operating room. The blood on her clothes was all Finnegan's.
Doctors were coming in and out, making Ophelia extremely anxious; she began praying with her hands tightly clasped together.
Another doctor came out of the operating room, and Ophelia grabbed him to ask, "Doctor, how is he?"
"Don't be anxious; the chief surgeon is still operating. The situation is rather grim, please prepare yourself mentally," the doctor said, then hurried off to attend to other matters.
The doctor's response made Ophelia's heart sink.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and she nervously clenched her hands.
At this moment, the phone in her pocket rang. It was Finnegan's phone.
Ophelia had taken it from the car earlier and put it in her bag. Seeing that it was a call from Orchid Garden, she answered it and Lina's voice came from the other end, "Mr. Abbott, are you coming home for dinner tonight?"
"Lina, Mr. Abbott can't come back for now. He... he had a car accident and is being operated on," Ophelia's voice choked up a bit.
"What?! Mr. Abbott was in a car accident?" Lina was shocked and looked at Seraphina next to her.
This call was actually made at Seraphina's request.
Finnegan hadn't been home for two days, and Seraphina didn't dare to contact him, so she had to let Lina do it.
After hearing the news of Finnegan's accident, Seraphina was also greatly surprised and immediately said, "Lina, ask where Mr. Abbott is hospitalized and how serious his injuries are."
Finnegan's car accident was a good opportunity for her. She could take this chance to take care of Finnegan and cultivate their relationship. Seraphina didn't know that Ophelia was on the other end of the phone.
After asking for the address, Lina told Seraphina, "He's at the City B General Hospital."
