Chapter 869 Sudden Car Accident
A week later, Saffron's leg injury and mental state had improved. Officer Alfonso brought some photos for her to identify the perpetrator.
Saffron had her leg broken by the perpetrator because she had torn off his mask, not because she called the police. They naively thought Aaron would never call the police.
"No, no..."
"No..."
After looking at hundreds of photos, Saffron angrily cursed, "Are you cops all useless? Who are these people you're showing me? No, no, no!"
Elara quickly said, "Sorry, Mr. Carr, Saffron has looked at too many photos and is feeling dizzy, which is why she's losing her temper. How about we take a break?"
"The clues we have are limited, and we can only rely on Ms. Cooper to identify the perpetrator. Time is of the essence, continue."
"I'm so tired, I don't want to look anymore."
"Saffron, don't be stubborn. Mr. Carr is also anxious to find the kidnapper. Don't you want to bring the person who hurt you to justice as soon as possible?"
"Will you chop them up and feed them to the dogs after you catch them?" Saffron said viciously.
Alfonso felt a chill in his heart from her fierce gaze. "The law will punish them."
"So they'll just go to jail? That's too easy for them. I want to break all their legs and arms, then cut their flesh piece by piece and throw it into the sea to feed the sharks."
Alfonso was shocked by Saffron's venomous words.
"Mr. Carr, Saffron is still young and speaking out of anger."
"I'm not speaking out of anger. If you catch them, hand them over to me. I want to torture them myself." Saffron's expression was terrifying.
"Let's catch them first, then we'll talk. Continue."
Saffron looked at over a hundred more photos, and just as she was about to go mad and start cursing.
"It's him! It's him!" Saffron suddenly pointed excitedly at a man with a scar in the photo.
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"He broke my leg. I'd recognize him even if he turned to ashes. There's no way I'd be wrong." Saffron ground her teeth in hatred.
"This man is named Oscar. He used to work at a casino, has been in and out of jail several times for robbery and assault. He's a tough guy. Rest well, we're issuing a city-wide manhunt for him now!"
"Mr. Carr, can you hand them over to me after you catch them?" Saffron clutched the bedsheet and asked urgently.
"We'll follow legal procedures; we can't use private punishment."
"But..."
Alfonso left.
"Just letting him go to jail is too easy for him. Dad, you have connections with Mr. Carr, ask him to hand the person over to me. I want to break his legs."
"Don't be ridiculous. He's a police officer and has to act according to the law. How could he hand someone over to you?"
"So he'll just go to jail? No, that's too easy for him. I won't be satisfied!" Saffron said with extreme hatred.
Before she broke his legs, she wanted him to rape Juniper, or she wouldn't be able to swallow this anger.
The person she hated the most was Juniper! She wanted that bitch dead.
Only if Juniper died, the Cooper Group would be hers!
"Let's talk about it after we catch him."
Two days later, Juniper came to the hospital.
Saffron was struggling to reach for the water on the table, about to fall off the bed.
"Let me help!" Juniper ran over to support her, but Saffron angrily pushed her away.
Caught off guard, Juniper fell to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in her scalp.
"Stop pretending to be nice!"
"Don't touch my stuff!" Saffron shouted.
Juniper was in so much pain she couldn't speak. Her stomach seemed to have been hit, and it hurt a lot.
"Juniper, Dad's not here, you don't have to pretend to be a good person."
"You made me break my leg, are you happy? Now that I'm a cripple, I'm no threat to you, right?"
Juniper gasped in pain, unable to speak.
"Let me tell you, even if I have to use crutches, I won't let you off. I will get my revenge. The harm you've done to me, I will repay a thousand times over. Just wait, I will make you die a horrible death."
Juniper sat on the ground for a while before she could get up, leaning against the wall. "You're crazy!"
"Yes, you've driven me crazy. Can you guess what a mad person is capable of?" Saffron laughed coldly and grimly. "You've pushed me to the edge, I will retaliate madly. Get ready to die!"
Her stomach hurt so much, she must be injured. Juniper left in a panic.
A nurse came in, and Saffron ordered her, "I'll pay you, follow her and see where she goes."
Juniper hurried to the gynecology department, where the doctor performed an ultrasound and said the baby was fine.
Juniper finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pain had been so intense earlier, she was worried about a miscarriage.
"But you must have been too tired lately, your mental state isn't good, and you're a bit anemic. You need to rest more. Your mood also affects the baby, so try to relax. Only then will the baby be born healthy."
"I'll prescribe some supplements for you. Remember to take them on time every day, don't miss any."
"Thank you, doctor." Juniper touched her belly, still feeling scared. She must stay away from that lunatic Saffron in the future.
"What, she's pregnant?" Saffron's eyes flashed with hateful cold light. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I asked the doctor. She's been pregnant for almost two months."
Was it Anthony's child?
It didn't matter. As long as it was in Juniper's belly, it had to die.
Juniper had killed her baby back then, now it was time for a life for a life.
Saffron's mind was consumed by hatred.
No, one life for one life wasn't enough. She wanted her to die with her baby! Only then would she feel relieved!
'Juniper, you're dead.'
The near-miscarriage incident left Juniper terrified.
After two days of hesitation, she decided to tell Anthony about her pregnancy first. Once Ruben accepted him, she would let the Eilish family know.
Having made up her mind, she took out her phone, and just then Anthony called her.
"I was just about to call you, and you called. Is this what they call telepathy?"
"Yes."
"Are you free tonight? I..." She was about to tell him the good news.
"My dad wants to meet you again."
"Really? He wants to see me?"
"Half and half. My mom also played a part, but his attitude has changed a bit."
"Alright, let's meet tonight." She wanted to tell him the good news in person and see his surprised expression.
"Okay. I'll pick you up tonight?"
"No need, you go with your parents. I'll take a cab. Don't worry, I'll make a good impression tonight." Juniper said confidently.
"Alright, I'll wait for you."
To prepare for the meeting, Juniper left work two hours early and went to the design studio to dress up. She didn't overdo it but made sure she looked presentable.
She walked out of the design studio, very satisfied with her look today.
Ruben was willing to see her, and she could tell Anthony the good news about her pregnancy. It was definitely a double blessing.
Juniper thought happily as she crossed the street to hail a cab.
But just then, a van suddenly lost control and rushed towards her.
Juniper didn't have time to dodge, and the next second, her body was sent flying.
'My baby...'
