Madeleine said to her affectionately, “Darling, this is a gift I bought for my godson or goddaughter. You
are not allowed to pay the bill, or I will never forgive you.”
Ophelia put the gold card back into her bag.
Madeleine paid the bill and spent over ten thousand dollars. Fortunately, Madeleine was a freelance
writer, and her novels have been well sold ever since they were published and the royalty she got was
quite impressive, so she got quite a saving.
Ophelia smiled and said, “Madeleine, Secrets of Follower should sell well this time, right?”
Madeleine nodded and said, “The readers are really awesome. I have sold hundreds of thousands of
copies and received quite a generous payment. If you and Zachariah divorce, we can raise the baby
together.”
Feeling warm in her heart, Ophelia said with a smile, “You are so proud of yourself now.”
Madeleine put her arms around Ophelia’s shoulders, “Honey, you husband is out for a business trip.
Would you like to stay with me for a few nights?”
Ophelia thought for a while and nodded.
They walked out of the mall together and had dinner at a restaurant before heading toward the
underground parking lot. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the entrance of the parking lot, an Audi
drove to them like a wild charger.
Both Ophelia and Madeleine’s eyes opened wide due to shock. Madeleine was the first to react and
pushed Ophelia away, shouting loudly, “Be careful!”
Ophelia staggered before keeping her feet, watching the wild Audi directly knock Madeleine into the air,
and then fled quickly, disappearing into the night.
Ophelia was dumbfounded before running over with her foot and hands synchronized in horror. She
crouched and stared at Madeleine, who was covered in blood.
Ophelia shouted in fear, “Madeleine...”
She yelled several times. Unfortunately, Madeleine did respond to her calls at all.
With tears messing up her face, Ophelia took out her phone to dial 911. However, she was shaking so
terribly that she couldn't even press the keys properly. She asked in a sobbing tone, “Can you please
call the ambulance for me?”
The passers-by stood around her and replied, “Miss, don't worry. We have called the police and 911.
The ambulance will be here soon.”
“Thank you.”
Two women forced a way in and said to her, “Miss, we are doctors. Let's give your friend an emergency
rescue first.”
Ophelia pulled them over with excitement, and said sincerely, “Please save my friend.”
The two doctors gave Madeleine a simple inspection, and then said solemnly, “Miss, your friend was
badly hurt. We just gave her a quick check, but can't guarantee whether she can be rescued…”
Ophelia’s face turned paled in an instant.
Fortunately, the ambulance arrived quickly and they carried Madeleine into the ambulance. Ophelia
followed the nurses in.
When they arrived at the hospital, Madeleine was sent to the emergency room. Leaning against the
wall, Ophelia almost collapsed and was staring at the emergency room.
“Madeleine, please be strong, or I won’t feel at ease my whole life. How can I tell your mom and dad?”
Ophelia said in a low voice, feeling uneasy.
Ophelia had no idea how long she had been waiting. A policeman and a policewoman walked in. The
policewoman said politely, “Nice to meet you, Madam. We are the police from Jinsaw District. We are
here to get more information about the car accident. It’s your friend who was hurt, right?”
Ophelia took a deep breath to suppress the sadness in her heart, and stretched out her hand politely,
“Nice to meet you.”
The policewoman shook her hand and said, “Did you see the license plate of the car escaped?”
Ophelia nodded. She specially checked the plate number when the car hit and ran. As a woman with
good memory, she directly told the policewoman the license plate number in her mind.
The policewoman nodded and said, “Okay, that’s all. Don't worry, we will find the driver as soon as
possible and hold him accountable.”
Ophelia nodded and replied with a “Thank you.”
The policewoman said a few more words before leaving with her partner.
As soon as they left, Ophelia leaned against the wall like a puppet fell apart, her eyes fixed at the
emergency room.
Five hours passed in the blink of an eye. It was grueling for Ophelia. Every minute seemed to be killing
her.
She kept praying that Madeleine would be fine. It’s just that the car was too fast, and Madeleine bode ill
rather than well.
She didn't dare to think about the consequence. She was afraid that Madeleine might not get through it,
and she would never forgive herself.
Just when Ophelia was woolgathering, her phone rang.
Ophelia took out her phone in a flurry, and when she saw the caller ID, her eyes instantly turned
red.
