Chapter 670: Chapter 670: How Could It Possible?
The next morning, when Laty woke up, Edie already left. She wrote a long letter to Scarlet.
Apparently, Scarlet must be Edie’s best friend. She would take care of her in the following days.
Scarlet arrived on time. She knocked on the door at 7 o’clock in the morning.
She received a strange text from a strange number. It was her "old friend". She wanted her to come to A. She wanted to see her again. If Stuart didn’t come, she would post the video recording her naked dance in a college dorm on the Internet.
Stuart thought it must be her roommate in college. Edie has passed away. Which one would be?
Only they know her naked dance in the college dorm. Scarlet thought it must be their trick.
When the door was opened, Scarlet saw a little boy.
The boy looked so cute. His face looked quite familiar. He blinked his big shining eyes, and asked her in an innocent voice, "Are you Scarlet? Nice to see you."
"Who are your parents?"
Scarlet was quite shocked because the little boy looked like Stuart and Edie.
"My mom is Edie Lara, and my dad is... Stuart Yates...."
Hearing this answer, Scarlet was quite shocked.
She widened her eyes, "How possible? But you’ve died with your mom.... so, is it your mother sending a text last night?"
So much information at the moment. Scarlet froze for a moment.
It was quite difficult for her to digest all the information.
She didn’t know how she stepped into the house and tried to understand everything that happened.
The boy was actually a girl. She was Edie and Stuart’s daughter. Edie didn’t pass away that year.
Edie changed her identity and became a photographer.
"So, you’ve spent five years escaping all around the world?"
"No. Only Edie. She left me at Arther’s house."
Scarlet immediately understood that this silly girl was escaping for her love for Stuart in this way.
But she was lying all the time.
When Laty gave the letter to Scarlet, Scarlet could feel Edie’s deep guilt from those words. In the letter, Edie asked her to give her a favor. She wanted her to take Laty to Stuart to live with him. This was all she could do for Stuart.
After reading the letter, Scarlet frowned. She asked Laty, "Have your mother told you where she went, and when she came back?"
"No," the little girl shook her head.
Scarlet kept frowning. Edie might not come back anymore.
Scarlet stood up. After learning everything, she decided to go to Stuart. She must find one of these little girl’s parents and asked him what happened that year.
On the way Scarlet took Laty to the L.N building, they were blocked in a crossroads. It was a traffic accident there. All cars were blocked.
Scarlet wanted to arrive in the building as fast as possible. So she got off the car and walked towards the building. It was quite close.
But at the moment, Laty stopped suddenly when she got off the car.
She held Scarlet’s hand tightly.
"Scarlet...."
Her voice was trembling.
Hearing her voice, Scarlet had a bad feeling. She turned towards Laty, seeing her looking at the spot of the traffic accident. It was in the middle of the road.
The car looked quite familiar. The men were also quite familiar.
Stuart and Ivan...
Their car crashed.
***
At the same time, Edie already arrived at the airport. She chose a city randomly. All she wanted was to escape from this place.
She sat in the waiting room. Scarlet might already find Laty. She took her phone out and checked whether she sent her any messages.
Scarlet called her. Laty called her.
When she wanted to call them back, Laty called her again.
She answered the phone immediately. Before she said anything, Laty already cried out on the other side.
"Mom...dad’ car crashed just now... he was bleeding everywhere now....would he die?"
"What...."
Edie stood up immediately. She didn’t believe her ears at the moment.
"Mom, I am so scared...." Laty’s crying on the other side made Edie more annoying and perplexed.
"Where are you now? I would be right back."
"On the ambulance. They only admit one family to get into the ambulance. Scarlet would drive to the hospital later. Mom, please come back."
After knowing the hospital’s name, Edie hung up the phone and rushed out of the airport.
She got in a taxi. The driver was listening to the news.
"Important news. At 8:40 this morning, at the crossroad of South Street and Jade Street, a truck ran the red light, causing several cars tailgating....."
Edie’s face turned pale. She couldn’t hear anything else.
When the taxi arrived at the hospital, she immediately got off the car and rushed into the hospital. This hospital was the closest hospital to the spot of the accident. All injured people were sent here.
Inside the hospital, all doctors and nurses were running. Most injured people should be sent to other hospitals.
Edie stopped a nurse and asked her, "Excuse me. Do you know a patient named Stuart Yates?"
"Do you see two injured men here? Ivan and Stuart?"
"Excuse me, is Stuart still in this hospital?"
But...
No one answered her question. No nurse knew where Stuart was. They all asked her to look for him by herself.
Edie dialed Laty’s number anxiously. But no one answered. Bloodstained her clothes and hands. When she dialed the number, she could smell the smell of iron from the blood.
Finally, Laty answered the phone. Edie asked them where they were. Laty told her they were on the third floor.
She ran upstairs immediately. There were several mass wards on the third floor. A ward accommodated several beds.
Laty was standing in front of a bed and crying. A piece of sheet covered the man on the bed. Edie saw the electrocardiogram already stopped. That meant that the man on the bed already passed away...
Seeing Edie, Laty cried more loudly, "Mom...dad..."
Edie didn’t know how she walked towards the bed. Every step was really hard for her. Finally, she managed to tumble to the bed. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Mom...dad already passed away...." Laty pulled her clothes tightly and cried in despair. Her palm-size face was covered with tears. Her eyes were reddened. She might be crying for a long time.
She told Edie.
Dad already passed away...
Stuart passed away...
How could it be possible?
"No... impossible. He crushed before. But he didn’t die. He would not die. How could he die?"
She asked the air in a trembling voice. freewebnøvel.coɱ
At the moment, she heard other’s murmuring.
"Such a poor young man. When the truck ran the red light, they crushed for a moment. Two men were bleeding when they were dragged out. So terrifying."
"Yeah. Quite young. So poor. Such a pity. They were still so young. If it was us, it wouldn’t be so pitiful. After all, we’ve experienced life. "
"Holy crap. That truck driver should be killed. He dared to drive after drinking. He almost killed all of us. Such a bastard."
Many people around started sighing, for their luck to survive in the traffic accident, or for those young men passed away.
