With the thought lingering in his head, Jared, who was heading home, quickly turned around and drove
back to the restaurant.
Just as he reached the junction, he came across Nicole's car, which he could recognize through the
windshield, and decided to follow her.
As Nicole's mind was racing with all that had occurred at the restaurant, she became a little too
distracted while driving.
When she had reached the junction, she did not pay attention to the stoplight, and continued driving
forward.
At that exact moment, a truck came careening over from her flank, and before she knew it, the truck
had slammed into her.
Jared, who was tailing her from behind, became as pale as sheet upon witnessing that scene.He pulled
over at once and dashed over to Nicole.
As soon as he had approached the driver's side of the car, he wrenched the door open and yelled,
"Nicole, are you okay?!"
Nicole, whose hands were on her forehead, looked up and saw him, "Jared? Why are you all over the
place?"
Upon uttering the last word, she passed out.
Jared immediately carried her into his car.
Then, he floored the accelerator and rushed to the hospital.
"Please wake up, Nicole.Just hold on for a while longer! We'll be reaching the hospital soon,"
Jared said while keeping an eye on her condition, after which he took his phone out.
"Martin, Nicole got into an accident.I'm rushing her to the hospital now.I need you to come over right
away!"
"An accident!? That's it! I am coming over!"
Martin left all he was doing and rushed to the hospital.
Jared's car halted, whereupon Martin ran over and lifted Nicole onto an emergency stretcher.
As he was pushing her into the emergency unit, he asked Jared, "Where was she struck? Was it a
serious accident?"
"It was not a very serious one, but she got hit in the head," Jared said, attempting to describe the whole
situation to Martin.
"Excuse me."
Martin pushed Nicole to the emergency ward and began to examine her.
After a few tests, Martin became more relaxed, and turned to look at Jared, "Don't you worry.She only
lost consciousness.There are no injuries on the other parts of her body save for some bruises on her
head."Upon hearing Martin's diagnosis, Jared breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great.You should go
ahead and treat her."
Martin proceeded to treat the bruises on her forehead with utmost meticulousness.
While he was doing so, Nicole woke up, surprised to see him.
"Martin? Where am I?"
"You're at the hospital."
Martin held her down so that she would stay still.
"Don't get up.You got injured in a car accident, and I'm treating your wound now."
"Max, I need you to head over to and take care of Nicole's accident, " Jared ordered with his phone
held up to his ear.
"Is she hurt?" Max hurriedly asked.
"Just some bruises," Jared replied.
"She's fine."
"Alright.I'll deal with it now," Max finished.
Jared hung up and strode into the emergency room.
By now, Martin was done treating Nicole's wound while she was already sitting up.
"How are you feeling now?"
Jared quickly walked over and asked.Wide eyed, Nicole turned, and stared at him, "How are you here
as well?"
"He was the one who sent you here," Martin explained.
Nicole fixed her eyes on Jared.
As it turned out, the Jared she had seen in the crash site was not the one in her dreams, иσνєℓєвσσк.
¢σмbut once she recalled him having gone on a lunch date with Fiorella, a strange feeling came over
her.
"Weren't you having lunch with Fiorella? Why were you there when the accident happened?"
Nicole looked at him with a brow raised.
"I well, that's not important.How are you feeling now? Do you feel any sort of pain?"
Jared dodged the question and asked.
"That's none of your concern."
Nicole was still furious, and Jared's attempt at evading the question only made her more so.
"You should go," she said, not wanting to see him at this moment.
"What happened to the both of you?" Martin asked, sensing that something was wrong with the both of
them, and that they seemed to have had an argument.
Seeing that Nicole was upset at him, Jared decided that he should not insist on lingering, and
proceeded to leave her under the care of Martin, who he trusted.
"Nothing.Just do me a favor and send her home later on.I'll get going as I have matters to attend to."
"Hey Jared!"
Martin shouted, but Jared continued walking away.
