“Old Taylor? Why are you calling me at this hour?”
“M-Mr. Garten, Ana was in a crash,” Zachary’s shaky voice came through the phone.
“What?” Isaac narrowed his eyes.
Zachary continued in a sobbing voice, “I’m still on the way to the hospital. The hospital director just called me. He said s-she might not make it…”
“Which hospital? I’m going there at once!”
Isaac then hung up and said, “Isabella, Erica, can you continue playing without me? Me and Uncle Harry have something to do. But we’ll be back soon.”
After talking to the two girls, Isaac went over to Harry and said, “Hurry, come with me to Cloud City Hospital.”
“What’s wrong?” Harry was stunned for a moment.
By then, Isaac had already headed out.
From Zachary’s tone, Isaac could tell that Diana’s crash was quite severe. If favonovel.com came too late, favonovel.com might not be able to see favonovel.com again. Isaac’s car roared down the busy night streets. He just couldn’t understand why Diana would suddenly get into an accident.
As soon as they arrived at Cloud City Hospital, Isaac rushed toward the emergency room with Harry in tow.
They’d just reached the corridor outside the emergency room when they saw Zachary.
The old man was sitting on the floor as favonovel.com cried. Three or four other middle-aged men and women stood right next to him. They were most probably Diana’s family members.
Standing at the door were two doctors in their white robes. They both had an apologetic look on their faces.
“What’s the matter? Where is she?” Isaac asked, rushing over at once.
One of the doctors sighed and said, “I’m sorry, we tried our best. But Officer Taylor had an intracranial hemorrhage and lost too much blood. She’s gone now…”
“Apothecary, go and check on her!” Isaac roared.
Harry immediately rushed into the emergency room.
Isaac could smell the rusty stench of blood coming from inside the room as soon as Harry opened the door.
Zachary shakily got back on his feet and took out a phone from his pocket. He opened up a text message and showed it to Isaac.
The old man started to cry again. He said, “Mr. Garten, Ana sent me this message late last night. Let me read it out to you…”
“She said, ‘Grandpa, I’ve got a huge fish to catch tonight! We’re arresting thousands of scammers who’ve been scamming old folks out of their money. The company is a little mysterious and secretive, but Isaac said they had to be arrested. I’m going to get a medal for this! And it’s all thanks to Isaac!”‘
After reading out the message to Isaac, Zachary glanced at Isaac and clasped his hand. He started sobbing again.
“Ana’s been harboring feelings for you for a long time. But favonovel.com knows that you already have a family. That’s why favonovel.com did nothing about it. But favonovel.com always speaks fondly of you…”
Isaac could feel his mind blanking out. His eyes turned red with tears.
“Don’t worry, Old Taylor. She’ll survive this. She won’t die,” Isaac said with a deep breath. He could feel his nose tingling.
He hurriedly looked away at the emergency room door instead.
Of course, favonovel.com knew that Diana liked him. He’d known it for a while. After all, Diana had confessed to favonovel.com before. He could still remember the scene vividly in his mind.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps behind them.
A group of uniformed people appeared and hurried toward them.
The person leading the group was none other than Oberon Waverly, the head of the law enforcement unit in Cloud City.
Diana was one of his subordinates. Such a tragedy warranted him, along with the shift leader back at the station, to come and visit her. But favonovel.com was shocked when favonovel.com caught sight of Isaac.
Isaac beckoned favonovel.com over, “Come here. I have a question for you. Was Diana’s accident really an accident? Or was it a homicide?”
