Chapter 34
Carter suddenly remembered-back at the scene of Kelly's accident, hadn't he received a call from Sharon?
But everything had happened so fast. The situation was urgent, and he hadn't had tto answer. He'd simply
hung up.
Recalling this now, he redialed Sharon's number.
The call rang for a long time. No one answered.
When the line finally disconnected on its own, his brows drew together, tighter and tighter.
He tried again. And again. Still, no answer.
Was she ignoring him just because he'd declined her call earlier?
Nate had once said that women shouldn't be spoiled too much. Maybe that was it. Maybe he’d been too soft on
her all along, and that’s why she felt entitled to throw attitude at him again and again. (1

In the hospital room, the phone on the bedside table buzzed against the wood. But Sharon was deep asleep by
then.
It wasn’t until the next morning, when she opened her eyes, that she noticed the missed calls flashing on the

Her lips curled into a faint, mocking smile. Without a word, she set the phone back down.
Half an hour later, someone knocked on the door.
Two traffic officers in uniform stepped inside to inquire about the accident.
Sharon recounted everything as it happened.
“I was turning, and she cout of nowhere. No slowing down at all.”
The officer jotted her words down, then asked, “Sharon, are you certain it was the other party who hit you-and
not the other way around?”
There was something off about their tone. Something she couldn't quite put her finger on.
“You mean,” she asked, “she’s denying she hit me?”
Accidents like this required a determination of fault.
The officer didn’t hide it. “Yes. The scene was in a rather remote location, and unfortunately, there's no
surveillance footage. We're currently collecting statements from both sides before making a judgment.”
“She's at this hospital too?”
“That's right. This was the closest one to the scene.” The officer paused before adding, “At the moment, the
other driver insists it was you who hit her. We're working on locating eyewitnesses and any other evidence. We'll
keep you informed.”
Sharon nodded politely. “Thank you.”
After the officers left, she stared at the door for a long time, her eyes darkening.
She didn’t believe in coincidences.
Of all the people she could have collided with, why Kelly?
Was this Kelly’s way of forcing Carter to make a choice?

In another hospital room, Simon spoke in a low voice beside Carter.
“The traffic officers said the other party isn’t admitting fault. In fact, they're claiming it was Kelly who hit them.
There's no surveillance at that stretch of road, so unless they find a witness, this might take a while to resolve...”
On the bed, Kelly's face suddenly twisted with fear.
“She cstraight atlike a lunatic. Didn't even slow down. Either she was drunk, or she was trying to kill
me.”
She looked down at the cast wrapped tightly around her arm, tears brimming in her eyes.
“I just wanted to hold one last concert. Now | don’t even know if I'll ever play again...”
Carter replied quietly, “I've arranged for a medical team. Just focus on recovering. I'll handle the rest.”
Kelly shook her head, voice trembling with tears. “She must've pulled sstrings. Had the footage erased...
That's the only
way we'd have no evidence. This whole thing will probably get swept under the rug...”
