Bethany zoomed out of the pastry shops with full force after dumping Sandra and the chauffeur.
She kept driving downtown, as it got darker and there were no street lights along the roads in the suburbs area. She soon egan driving slowly for safety.
Out of the blues, her car suddenly collided with a loud thus and she immediately came to a screeching halt with her heart wheezing heavily against her chest.
It was a good thing that the road was more remote, workout any car passing by.
Bethany got out of the car to have a look, after heaving a heavy sigh and giving herself a pet talk.
I won't die now!
However, the barrier on the road was a thing, but a man!!
.It was so dark that she couldn't see the face of the man, but it was evident that the man was lying in a pool of blood unconsciously.
Upon seeing the state of the man in front of her, she became frightened and her face turned deadly pale almost immediately.
She smashed into a helpless man!!
It was the first time, she had encountered such an accident in her entire life. As nervous and frightened as she was, Bethany gradually calmed down and called the ambulance. Then, she called Sandra and asked her to stay for the night.
She didn't want to leave them alone at the hospital after she had supposedly hurt him.
The ambulance arrived as soon as she needs her phone conversation with Sandra.
“ He looks like he was inappropriately shot at. It's a gun wound. However, he was lucky the bullet just crashed around”
The doctor grumbled after be simply treated the wound.
Feeling anxious, Bethany didn't pay any attention to what he said.
She moved along with the man into the ambulance with the paramedic.
As soon as she was settled inside the ambulance with the man, only then did she notice his appearance.
The man, lying on the stretcher, had slender, fair skin and strongly marked features. His appearance was indefectible, and he had an aura of dignity around him which makes him look like someone who is unapproachable and extremely difficult.
Bethany also noticed his Sapphire blue suit, which was customized.
That suit was not in the market – It was probably designed for only him.
When she thought about it, her heart sank into an abyss of sadness.
She was not afraid of crashing the rich, instead, they should be scared of what she can't do. However, the accident would be a little harder to handle now especially in this case.
That's because the rich men stiff at compensation



.
Nevertheless, it was still a puzzle why the man was lying along the road in the countryside.
While the ambulance bumped along the road, the wounds on his abdomen were torn open. He pursed his lips and frowned deeply, suffering the pain while in a coma
In terms of endurance, the man was highly endearing.
In the next splitting second Bethany turned her face and her gaze fell on the man's face. Her face instantly crushed into a look of recognition as she stared at the man intensely. Seeing the man, she pursed her lips and kept her cool.
He was sweating on the forehead profusely due to the pain.
At this sight of this, Bethany felt guilty for the pain he was enduring, and she wiped his sweat off subconsciously.
As her fingertip landed on the man's skin, he quickly grabbed hold of her hand like she was a shield board, it felt as if he's awake.
Bethany lowered her head and saw the man open his eyes.
However, as their eyes met, the man fainted again.
His hands remained fisted on hers, it didn't relax at all.
Bethany tried to resist his grip but failed. So she let him hold her hand, worried that her movement would rest in more pain.
Her hand was tightly grasped all along the way right to the operation theater, even when the doctors stitched up his wound.
All the paramedics guessed that they had an intimate relationship as it is.
However, Bethany was quite clear that he was trying to prevent her from escaping.
After about an hour of surgery, the doctor declares that the injury was no longer life-threatening so the man was then transferred to the general ward.
It was until this moment that he finally let go of the woman.
After being grasped for about an hour, Bethany felt numb and painful.
One could easily imagine his strength.
When he was finally settled in his new room at the hospital, Bethany went along with him and sat by his side for a while. Then, she suddenly stood up from the bed while facing around the room.
She wore a gloomy look on her face, and twitched her lips sadly before saying.“Tsk ! tsk, tsk . You seems to have many people coming after y, Mr. Zayn Meyer. I wonder how many people you've offended and how many are after you now?”. She said with her arm crossed around her chest as she continues to pace.
“I don't want to hurt you as yet, so why did you come in my way and force your issues on me? You don't have to be in a great hurry, I'm going with full force, you hear me? After what you did, don't expect me to go easy on you”.
After that, a smile appeared at the corners of her lips but then, it was instantly replaced by a look of agitation
“Are you the family member of the patient? we need you to sign this document ”
Bethany suddenly heard a voice from behind and she swerved around to see the nurse standing behind her with a file.
“N-No.....”
Bethany was about to deny, however after a glance at the man she was forced to change her words. after all, he was only in this situation because of her.
She quickly picked up the pen and signed the reports.
After signing the papers, she patted her hands as she crossed them around her chest.
I'm not a murderer and I won't let him die so easily.
What was worse, there was no clue to his identity he must lose them around the way, since Zayn was never the type of person to go out without a means of identification.
Bethany couldn't contact any of his family members – not like she wanted to do that in the first place.
Worried about his condition, Bethany curled in the narrow couch and stayed for the night.
In the morning of the next day.....
zayn woke up after the night's sleep.
His deep eyes scanned around, and then he realized where he was.
It seem that he was out of danger.
He placed one hand on the bed and tried to get up. However, as he sat straight, he felt the throbbing pain from his abdomen, which made him groan in pain.
Bethany sitting by the bed did not sleep well. She woke up immediately by the slight noise.
Raising get brows, she glanced into his cold eyes. But the nan was still frowning in pain and did not have the time to look back at her.
She was bemused and asked. “How do you feel, Mister?”.
The woman had a delicate face, with finely carved features. However, her lips were pale, and her eyes were sunken.
It was evident that she had stayed for the whole night.
There were some bloodstains on her blouse.
Glimmers of memories flashed across his mind.
It seems like this woman had saved him!.
He uttered in a deep voice.“You have saved me. You can ask for anything you want”.
Bethany was bemused once again, and she said sarcastically to herself.
he's very proud of his wealth, isn't he?
After a couple of seconds, she said calmly.“It was not me”.
She didn't expect that the man would misunderstand the incident that had taken place when he woke up.
However, he was not planning to get away from it without taking responsibility for it. It would be more troublesome if he learned of the truth later.
“I knocked you down last night....”.
Bethany took the initiative to explain the whole process to him.
She wasn't afraid of his reaction but she was just willing to find a way to get through to him and telling him the truth is the best way right now.
It seemed like he did not care.
Bethany could hardly understand his attitude, so she mentioned the compensation, “Mister, I didn't call the police because I wanted us to settle this privately with you. How much compensation would be appropriate for you?”.
She did not involve the police concerning the accident, because she didn't want that to hinder her plans of getting closer to the Meyers as well as the Medina.
who would want to associate with a person with bad publicity?
Zayn replied with a cold voice without raising his eyes, “There's no need for that”.
His voice was deep, but a little tired.
Bethany was frustrated.
Is there something wrong with this man? why is he bent on frustrating all of my efforts like this?
Then, Bethany decided to conduct a general checkup on him and make sure that there was nothing wrong with him at this moment.
Just then, the man raised his head to meet her gaze and he looked puzzled for a couple of minutes when he saw the face of the woman who had saved him.
isn't she the same woman from the pastry ? or did I mistake her for another person?
With puzzling looks, he decided to ask her to be sure.“Aren't you the same woman from the store?”
Bethany was startled for a while after his questions penetrated her thoughts. She quickly wore a smile and replied, saying “We meet again. We've met twice in a day. What a coincidence ”.
After saying that, she quickly changed the topic as she said.“Are you hungry now? I'll go get food for you from the cafeteria”.
Without waiting for his response, she quickly dashed out of the room.
