Chapter 480: 480: Almost Got Hit by a Car on the Way to the Hospital
Linton City Hospital was on Equinox Street. Enna Clark hailed a taxi, which quickly stopped at the corner of the street in front of the hospital.
Enna paid the fare and had just closed the car door when-
“Mom, come catch me!” A child suddenly darted from the sidewalk, bumping into her right waist. Enna, caught off guard, staggered and fell to the side of the road.
In the blink of an eye, they heard a sharp brake sound, and a car skidded towards her –
“Ah!”
She didn’t have time to scream before a middle-aged woman on the sidewalk who had been holding the mischievous child shouted in alarm.
Enna turned her head and saw the approaching car. Her face went completely pale, and she involuntarily retreated two steps. Due to the sudden movement, her ankle twisted, and her left foot gave out, causing her to fall to the ground.
Just as the car was about to hit her, the front of the car swayed sharply and, with a loud bang, took a turn and collided with an electric pole less than half a meter away from Enna.
The front of the car was wrecked.
However, the driver seemed to have activated the airbag in advance and appeared unharmed. He opened the car door and quickly got out.
“Miss, are you all right?”
Enna shook her head, “I’m fine.” The car didn’t hit her; she was just startled.
As she spoke, she got up with the help of her hands.
The man who had gotten out of the car suddenly seemed astonished when he saw her face, as if he had seen something unbelievable. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed her wrist, his eyebrows furrowed, “You… ”
How could there be two people in this world who look so similar?!
Enna’s left wrist was suddenly grasped by a stranger, and she struggled displeasedly, “Sir, please let go!”
Perhaps noticing her anger, the man quickly regained his composure and released her hand, apologizing like a gentleman, “Sorry for scaring you.”
Enna rubbed her wrist, picked up her bag from the ground, and with a slightly softer expression, replied perfunctorily, “It’s okay.”
“I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up.”
“Your car didn’t hit me, there’s no need.” Without a second thought, Enna was on her way to the hospital, holding her bag.
As she walked away, some vehicles immediately arrived at the scene of the accident.
A few black-clad bodyguards quickly got out and surrounded the road, protecting the area. From one car with a Linton City license plate, an extremely handsome man alighted – it was none other than Rupert Harris.
Rupert alighted from the car and calmly assessed the accident scene. He then strode over to the man who had just grabbed Enna’s wrist, furrowing his brow, “Master, are you okay?”
If the Habsden Family’s ruler’s visit to Linton was revealed, and a man of such great wealth came to harm, he would also be to blame!
The man called “Master” was in his thirties, with deep-set facial features and a charm that came with maturity and experience. His pair of deep brown eyes could drown any woman. He was still staring intently in the direction Enna had left, deep in thought.
“Master?” Rupert called out to him again.
He turned his head, seemingly snapped out of his reverie, and smiled, “I’m fine, Mayor Harris, no need to worry.”
“It’s a shame about your luxury car, though. I’ll send you another one someday.”
Rupert shrugged off the $1.5 million car loss and courteously said, “As long as you’re okay, Master.”
“I’m fine. I just discovered a very fascinating person.”
“A fascinating person?” Rupert was curious.
However, the man only spoke enigmatically, “I can’t tell you just yet, Mayor Harris. First, I need my people to investigate. If it turns out to be what I think, you’ll have a chance to meet her.”
Rupert’s curiosity only grew. Who could it be that intrigued the ruler of the Habsden Family so much?
