NovelEnglishThe maid, Lana, was scared witless, fearing the blwould fall on her. She rushed to explain, "I didn't see anything."
Ever since Martin cut ties with his family, Florence was inconsolable and had gone hto recuperate.
"Mrs. Florence has been like a walking dead, numb and indifferent, sometimes even crying silently."
"Today is your engagement party, and Mrs. Florence hasn't slept since last night. She hasn't had a bite to eat or a drop to drink all
day, and at 7 p.m., she silently went back to her room."
"We thought she was just tired and wanted to rest, but then there was this huge crash, and when we ran out, we realized that Mrs.
Florence had jumped."
Lana, bowing deeply, quickly added, "Mr. Martin, | truly had no idea Mrs. Florence would take her own life. If | had known, | would
have stopped her by any means necessary, staying right by her side."
She never imagined that when Florence argued with Martin and spoke in anger, she meant every word!

Florence had said that if Martin insisted on marrying Serena, she would jump into a river, off a building.
In short, she wanted to turn his joyful occasion into one of mourning.
She wanted to make him feel guilty for the rest of his life!
"When we found Mrs. Florence after she jumped, we immediately had the driver prepare the car and called for the master and Miss
Diana. Mr. Ansel fainted on the spot when he saw Mrs. Florence's condition, and Miss Diana ordered us to take Mrs. Florence and
Mr. Ansel to the hospital, while she went to confront you on her own."
It was only moments ago, when Lana overheard Martin on the phone, that she learned Miss Diana had also been in an accident and
was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery.
"She's on the twelfth floor in surgery. Wait there for her, and letknow the moment the surgery is over," Martin instructed with
exhaustion.
"Yes, sir," Lana said quickly, bowing and retreating.
After a while, Martin received a video from one of his men.
"Mr. Martin, this is the road surveillance footage of Miss Diana's car accident."
Upon viewing the footage, Martin saw that on a mountain road, a truck driver seemingly fell asleep at the wheel, his vehicle
swaying dangerously. Diana's car was also speeding, and they were about to collide head-on.
Diana's frantic honking woke the truck driver, who swerved sharply, slamming into the mountainside.
Diana, in an attempt to avoid him, crashed into the guardrail, and her car tumbled down.
"This is a photo from the scene of the accident."
From the photo, Martin could see that Diana's car was completely mangled.
His heart ached; if the car was in such a state, what were the chances she was unharmed?
"The truck driver wasn't wearing a seatbelt at the tof the accident, and he was thrown through the windshield. He was

Martin watched the surveillance video and the scene photos over and over, his heart heavy with grief.
The despair and fear his sister must have felt as she fell.
Just then, his phone rang. It was Serena.
"Martin, how's Mom?" Serena's concerned voice cthrough the line.
"Serena," Martin's voice was heavy with sorrow. "Mom jumped. It's bad. Dad collapsed when he found out, had a stroke, and is in
the ICU. Diana's had a terrible accident; she's in surgery fighting for her life. | can't make it to the engagement party to be with
you."
Serena, without a hint of blame, spoke with understanding, "I'll cbe with you after I've seen the guests off."
Martin felt a touch of warmth. "You're still recovering, don't rush over here. | have to stay at the hospital tonight. After the guests
have eaten, just go up and thank them for me. I'll have the driver take you back to the estate, and the butler will handle the rest.
Don't trouble yourself."
