Chapter 60
Emily's POV
"Oh my God, look out for that car!"
"Get out of the way, it's dangerous!"
"Emily!"
I tried to dodge the rushing car, and Andre ran towards me, and I couldn't let him get hurt because of me!
But time is already too late, the speed of the car is very fast, in the time I think it is almost in front of me. If I don't do something about it, Andre will only see a bloodied corpse if he gets in front of me.
"Bang!"
"Emily! Are you hurt?"
I used all my strength to lunge onto the side lawn before the car hit me, spraining my ankle from hitting the curb. But that was the best thing that could have happened to me, at least I didn't get hit by the car!
Andre rushed to me and helped me up from the ground, looking me up and down nervously to check if I had any fatal wounds. I was so happy that I had sprained my ankle, but I didn't let Andre get hurt again because of me. And I didn't get hurt so badly that Andre and I could never see each other again.
"Andre, don't worry. Nothing happened to me, and as you just saw, I dodged the limo in time. I just sprained my ankle, it's not a fatal wound."
Although my ankle was now very sore, I managed to put up a smile to comfort Andre, and I held on to his arm to stand, and I didn't think I would be able to get out of bed and walk for some time to come. This was a very bad thing, I had only been back at work for a few days and this was happening to me.
"Andre, what are you doing? Put me down now!"
Andre suddenly took me into his arms in a princess hug, and the gazes of many people around us gathered. Their ambiguous gaze made me feel very shy, and I pushed Andre's chest to make him put me down. But Andre didn't listen to me and carried me to the company parking lot.
"Wait, Andre put me down first, I see someone familiar."
"Whoever you see now, Emily, you can't go talk to him because you have to come with me to the hospital right now. You need to undergo a very thorough professional examination before we can determine that you have only sprained your ankle and that you have not suffered any physical damage from the impact."
I couldn't believe my eyes, I hadn't seen Bella for a long time after I had kicked her out of the villa and now she was actually in front of Andre's business and even running towards the car that almost hit me.
Bella seemed to know the person driving the car, and she looked terrified, banging on the door and calling out the driver's name. Bella kept trying to ask for help, but passersby shook their heads and walked away, just standing very far away and watching.
I panicked and asked Andre to put me down, and I wanted to see who the driver was that Bella was pleading with a stranger!
Could it be Toby? But why would he want to hurt me, in such a drastic way?!
"Andre put me down now, or you can carry me back over to the crash site. I saw Bella, and I need to know who the person was who drove into me!"
I had a strong feeling that this person must know him. And he must have had a very close relationship with Bella, but I couldn't even guess who he was. I didn't think Toby would have had the courage to hit me with his car, but then again he did kidnap Hellen once before.
And now this situation, only Toby and Bella's relationship are the most intimate, but also the most likely to let Bella put aside her pride to plead with passers-by. After all, Toby is Bella's husband, and Emma is already in prison, Toby simply can not pay to get her out.
Andre didn't intend for me to return to the scene of the crash at first, and I knew he must have hated and even feared seeing that scene because I almost died there.
If I hadn't ducked in time, that car would have knocked me off my feet, and wouldn't have hit the big tree next to the tarmac at all because I couldn't brake in time.
But after he heard what I said, he thought for a moment and chose to carry me back to the sedan. I'm sure Andre is now wondering who the person was that tried to hit me.
"Bella, why are you here? Who is that person in here ......Emma?! Gosh, Andre, did I see it wrong?! The person in the car is Emma!"
Bella saw me and Andre and tried to hide. Bella froze at my question and then tried to block the broken window to keep me from seeing the driver.
But I still saw the person inside, and it was Emma, who was already in prison! Andre and I looked at each other and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes that Emma had been released from prison, and that neither Andre nor I knew about it!
"You go away, the person here is not Emma! She, she just looks like Emma, she is my sister's daughter, not Emma!
Bella pushed me and Andre away from the limo. She panicked and explained to us that the person in the car was not Emma, but I knew her too well, if the person inside was not Emma, Bella would never have been so nervous! But I couldn't figure out how on earth Emma had gotten out of jail. Did Toby love Emma so much that he chose to pay to save her?
"Emily, you're not wrong, the person inside is Emma."
Andre affirmed my answer, and he looked at Bella as if he was thinking about what to do next. I guess Andre didn't expect that Emma would be rescued and no one would inform him.
I felt like I smelled gasoline, and the vehicle should have had a tank leak from the impact, which also meant that the sedan was at risk of exploding at any moment! If we don't get Emma out soon, she's going to get blown up in the limo!
"Bella, I don't think you should be here right now arguing with us about whether or not the person inside is Emma. you should call a fire truck as soon as possible, I can smell gasoline and this car could explode at any moment!"
As much as I hate Emma and resent her for hurting me over and over again. But I still didn't want to see her die in front of me in such a tragic way.
And she wasn't the only one hurt by the limo explosion. There are a lot of people coming in and out of Andre's office every day, and if we don't deal with this car soon, more people will be hurt by the explosion!
"Bella, I don't think you need to hide anything from me, I want to know exactly how Emma got out of jail or I might choose to call the police again and report her escape!"
Andre and I helped Bella get Emma into the hospital and my ankle was seen by a doctor who told Andre that it would recover with some rest.
Andre also wanted to take me for a full body checkup, but I stopped him. All I wanted to know now was the reason Emma got out of jail and if the car accident today was planned by her and Bella.
Andre and I went to Emma's hospital room, she hadn't awakened yet, Bella was sitting outside the room with her head down wondering what she was thinking?
During my time with Andre, I've learned how to target people's weaknesses for threats. I guess Bella must have expended a lot of energy trying to save Emma, she would never allow her daughter to enter that horrible place again!
Andre gave me a look and didn't have any objections to my words. He was even very happy that I had finally learned how to fight back against the people who hurt me.
"No, Emily, I beg you, don't send Emma back to prison! It cost me a lot of money to get her out of jail, she can't go back to that horrible place!"
"What are you doing? Get up, Bella!"
I sat in my wheelchair and looked at Bella in disbelief as she knelt directly at me to plead with me to let Emma go, I bent down to help her up, but she refused my help and looked at me with a pleading face.
I didn't know how to answer her, Bella's behavior made me very surprised but very admired. She could throw away all her pride for Emma, even if she knelt to me, whom she once hated, she didn't care!
Andre squeezed my shoulder, and I knew he was reminding me not to be soft-hearted. I had chosen to let Emma off the hook too many times for that reason, and this time I wondered if these were plans they had thought up to take advantage of my sympathy?
"Bella, did you and Emma plan the car accident today? You wanted to kill me, and if you didn't succeed you used my sympathy to get me to let you go?"
I wasn't in the mood to talk too much to Bella and questioned her directly. Although she could have lied, Andre was by my side and he was so good at socializing with people that he would have been able to spot the signs of Bella's lies.
"No, Emily, we didn't plan it that way, you must believe me. I just took Emma to the neighborhood to buy clothes today. I've divorced Toby and Emma is having serious mental problems! She is suffering from mania and depression, I plan to take her out of the country for treatment, I didn't think she would suddenly grab my car and hit you today!"
