The ambulance’s siren echoed across the night, its red and blue lights flashing. Janet sat in the back,
holding Ethan’s hand tightly. She wasn’t badly injured, save for some small cuts and bruises on her
knees.
Ethan, on the other hand, had a serious wound on his back. It hadn’t stopped bleeding, and he hadn’t
woken up yet. Beal and Johanna rushed to the hospital.
“Oh, my God! Are you okay, Janet?”
As soon as Johanna heard that the cinema collapsed, her heart practically stopped in her chest. It got
worse when she couldn’t get through to Janet. So it was a great relief when she saw her dear daughter
safe and sound.
Beal was also on the verge of breaking down. He looked Janet up and down carefully and wanted to
have her examined twice.
“Have another MRI scanning maybe. What if you have internal injuries?” Johanna nodded in
agreement.
“Your father’s right. Let’s have you checked again.” Tears welled up in Janet’s eyes.
“I’m fine, Mom and Dad. It was Ethan who got badly injured. He hasn’t woken up yet.”
Just then, a nurse came in and put Ethan on an IV drip. Seeing that Janet’s eyes were swollen from
crying, she tried to comfort her.
“Don’t worry, Miss. The doctor said that this gentleman’s wounds aren’t as bad as they look. He’ll be
fine.” Hearing this, Janet calmed down a bit.
“Thank you. How’re the others from the cinema?” The nurse checked the papers on her clipboard and
sighed slightly.
“You two were the luckiest The collapse caused heavy casualties. The ceiling fell right on top of your
row, killing the two people sitting next to you. Everyone else was injured, some worse than others. If it
weren’t for your husband, you two would have been crushed in an instant.”
Hearing this come from the nurse, Beal and Johanna exchanged glances. They finally knew that it was
thanks to Ethan that Janet was alive. In the blink of an eye, Johanna’s attitude toward Ethan changed
completely. Instead of being indifferent, she asked with great concern, “When will he wake up?” .
The nurse smiled apologetically and shook her head.
“We can’t say for sure. But don’t worry. The doctor said he’s fine, so he’s not in any fatal danger.”
At this time, the door to the ward swung open. with her bag in her hand, Lila rushed in with a worried
expression.
“I heard that the cinema collapsed. How’s she? Is she okay?”
Just as Lila was about to play the role of a caring sister in front of her parents, her eyes landed on the
person lying in the bed. It was Ethan, not Janet.
Beal looked up calmly and replied, “Janet’s fine. Ethan saved her.”
Janet glanced at Lila and smiled before turning back to look after Ethan. Lila froze for two seconds
before snapping back to reality,
“Oh, I’m so happy to hear that Janet’s fine. If anything happened to her, I don’t think Mom and Dad
would’ve been able to cope with it.”
As she spoke, Lila approached Johanna timidly.
“I was scared to death when you called me. I immediately cancelled the party with my friends and
rushed here.”
Johanna took Lila’s hand and smiled softly. “It’s good that you care about your sister. Sit down and get
some rest. You’re out of breath.”
“Nothing’s more important than Janet’s safety.” Lila said sweetly, but deep in her heart, she was a little
disappointed.
When Lila received the phone call from Johanna, informing her that Janet was involved in an accident,
at the moment, a thought occurred to her. Wouldn’t it be great if Janet died?
That’d make her the only daughter of the White family again, and her life would be as good as it used
to be.
