́Chapter 98 Joshua Has a Car Accident
At night, at the Dunbar’s place.
It was quiet at the dining table, except for the clatter of cutlery.
Dominic chatted with Lexie with a loving smile on his face. “Lexie, how’re things going between you
and Joshua? After the engagement was canceled, did he ever mention it again?”
Lexie’s hand stopped in midair.
Her father asked her to go home for dinner, and she knew what
he was up to.
Marisa sneered, “She caused such a scene before. Mr. Maltz
won’t marry her.”
Hearing the sarcasm, Lexie maintained her usual fake smile. “Joshua will marry me. It’s just that the
last time was a little
overwhelming for him. He needs some time to process it. So he
took a break.”
“A break?” Marisa didn’t believe her at all. “Do you mean a break from all mess or a break up with
you?”
“You seem to want me to separate from Joshua, don’t you?”
Marisa gloated, “Oh, I’m just being honest. You see, Mrs. Maltz doesn’t allow you to walk in her house,
and Joshua wants a break. How many chances do you think you have of marrying
him?”
“Since you raised doubts, how about I call Joshua over now and let him give you an answer?
“It’s just that Joshua hates it when people force him to do something. If you annoy him, well…”
Lexie did not finish her sentence, but everyone present knew
what she meant.
Marisa could see that Lexie was trying to scare her.
Ever since Lexie became Joshua’s girlfriend, she had been more
and more arrogant!
Marisa cast her fork on the table unpleasantly. Dominic gave
her a kick under the table. And he made a wink telling her to
stop.
When Marisa picked up the fork and began to eat, Dominic
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlooked at Lexie and said, “Lexie, the sooner it’s settled, the
better. I will feel relieved.
“Once a girl’s youth is gone, it’s gone. Joshua can’t delay it as
long as he wants. You should do it quickly and get married!”
“I’ll try my best,” Lexie agreed.
After dinner, Danica saw Lexie out.
“Are you sure about what you promised to your dad?”
With no one around, Lexie shook her head. “Not really.”
She had lied to Joshua and lost his trust. Besides, Joshua had been paying more attention to Anaya
recently, so she was not
sure about it.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she had saved his life five years ago, Joshua might break up with her
already.
However, Lexie didn’t actually save him five years ago. She lied
about that, too.
If Joshua knew about this, she would be completely finished
with him.
“I remember you said that Joshua started dating you because you saved his life. Is that right?” asked
Danica.
“Yes, so?” Lexie nodded.
“You saved him five years ago. He has always been grateful to
you, but it’s a long time. He might have forgotten about it,”
Danica analyzed seriously. “Why don’t you make an accident and save him again?
“After that, you can say some nice things to him. He would fall in love with you again. Then he would
definitely propose to you.”
Lexie was hesitant. “I have lied to him once before. If he finds
out I lie to him again…”
“Then just take the secret to your grave. You’ll be fine,” Danica grabbed her hand and said earnestly. “If
you seize this chance, you will be Mrs. Maltz!”
“Mom, forget it.” Lexie did not make up her mind.
Joshua had a rare blood type. Five years ago, Joshua had heavy bleeding. His life was in danger. It
was Anaya who drew blood
to save him.
Not to mention that she could not find anyone with a rare blood type in such a short time, it was difficult
for her to create
an accident.
If one thing went missing, Joshua’s life would be gone.
Although she wanted to be rich by making use of him, she wasn’t greedy enough to put his life at risk.
Anyway, she liked him.
Seeing that Lexie was hesitant, Danica did not say any further,
but she had other plans.
One day at noon, Joshua received a call from Danica.
“Hi, Joshua. I’m sorry to disturb you. Lexie said that she had a stomachache. I’m kind of tied up with all
the things, so can you go see her for me?”
Joshua knew that Lexie had menstrual cramps. When they
were in university, he took care of her several times.
He had nothing to do at noon, so he agreed and drove to
Lexie’s house.
He stopped to wait for the red light at a deserted intersection.
He waited for the green light.
Joshua tapped the steering wheel with his fingers as the
seconds ticked.
With a casual glance, he saw a speeding truck from the left
rearview mirror.
The truck was very close to the intersection, but there was no
sign of slowing down.
Joshua sensed that something was wrong. His blood boiled, and he stepped on the accelerator.
But it seemed a little late.
Bang!
There was a big crash at the intersection, which frightened the
others nearby.
Joshua’s car was knocked over in the middle of the road, and the truck fell into the green belt opposite
the road.
When Lexie received a call from Danica, she was having lunch
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith her colleagues.
Danica’s voice was a little anxious and excited at the same
time. “Lexie, come to Massachusetts General Hospital now!”
“What happened? Are you ill?” Lexie frowned.
“It wasn’t me. It was Joshua!” Danica seemed to laugh a little.
“He had a car accident! He’s bleeding a lot now and needs your blood. Hurry over!”
“Why did you do this without consulting me?” Lexie soon
connected everything together.
“I know you are angry with me, but what happened had
happened. There is no turning back. You must seize this
opportunity!”
Lexie stood up and couldn’t help but scream at the phone, “Why didn’t you discuss it with me? He can’t
take my blood at all!”
“What? Why? Didn’t you save him five years ago?” Danica was puzzled.
Lexie felt that she was going crazy. “I don’t have a rare blood type, and the person who saved him five
years ago was not me! Didn’t I tell you to forget it? Why on earth did you do this?”
“What?” Danica was stunned.
It was only at this moment that she began to panic. “Then what should we do? Joshua was in the
hospital. The doctor said that if he didn’t get blood in time, he would die.”
Although Danica had prepared for the worst, she was still in a
panic when facing it.
Lexie hung up and took it out on the chairs around her.
The others were frightened seeing her like that. They didn’t
dare make a sound.
Lexie paced back and forth in her room and called Anaya at last.
Anaya was going to the land auction at two o’clock in the
afternoon. After confirming all the details, she went to lunch.
As soon as she went to the cafeteria, her phone rang.
It was a strange number.
When it was connected, it was Lexie’s voice.
“Anaya, Joshua had a car accident. He is in Massachusetts
General Hospital. You have to go there immediately!”
Anaya wanted to hang up the phone in the first place, but when she heard what Lexie said, she did
not.
“Why did you call me? What can I do in the hospital?”
