Chapter 47 The other end of the phone suddenly went silent. Jocelyn said, “It’s Senior Lang, whom you’ve missed so badly throughout the years!”
As soon as Jocelyn finished speaking, a loud “Ah” rang out on the other end of the call. The sound of a heavy item falling on the ground suddenly rang out. It sounded like objects were crashing against each other.
Jocelyn grew slightly panicked. “Lexie, how are you?”
After some time, she heard Lexie’s shaky and pained voice. “Jocelyn…I lost my balance just now. I fell down the stairs!”
Jocelyn’s face paled at once. “Wait there. I’ll call the ambulance. I’ll come over immediately!” Jocelyn started panicking. Lexie lived alone. She did not know how badly she had fallen.
Jocelyn felt extremely guilty. She knew how important Chance was to Lexie. She should not have told her about him so suddenly.
Jocelyn called for an ambulance and took leave from the company. She then rushed over to the hospital immediately.
Meanwhile, Lexie lay on the ground alone at her place. Her body hurt terribly, but she laughed out loud like a fool.
She had finally managed to find him. Jocelyn would not joke about something like that with her. If she told her that she had met him, that meant that she had seen him.
Lexie recalled the moment she had heard about the news from Jocelyn. Her mind instantly went blank as she walked downstairs in a dazed manner. She then missed her footing and rolled down the stairs.
She had just experienced such a terrifying experience, but she did not feel any lingering fear at all. She was so overjoyed that she felt the urge to cry right then. When Jocelyn arrived at the hospital, Lexie had already been sent to the emergency rescue room.
Jocelyn waited outside the emergency room anxiously. She felt like a fish out of water. An hour later, Lexie finally came out of the operation theatre.
The doctor told Jocelyn that Lexie had wounded her leg severely. She had a slight concussion, and her left arm was broken. Other than that, everything was fine.
Jocelyn finally let out a sigh of relief. The nurse pushed Lexie into a ward, and Jocelyn hurried over immediately.
Lexie’s left arm was put into a cast. Her eyes shone when she saw Jocelyn walking in.
Jocelyn had never seen such a bright glint in Lexie’s eyes for the past three years that Chance had disappeared. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
She let out an inward sigh of exasperation. She then heard Lexie ask, “Jocelyn, you saw him, right?”
Jocelyn nodded after seeing how anxious Lexie was. “Yes, I saw him!”
“Where’s he right now? I want to see him!” Lexie seemed rather panicked. It looked like she wanted to leave the hospital and look for Chance at once.
Jocelyn looked at her in irritation and said, “Although the doctor said that you only broke your left arm, you still need to be hospitalized for up to two days for observation. Can’t you be obedient stay in the hospital?” Lexie looked at her pitifully as an upset expression flashed across her cold face. “But I’ve waited for three years. You just told me that you saw him. How can I stay here calmly?!”
Jocelyn sat down by her bed and said, “Calm down. Listen to me. He’s not called Chance now. He changed his name to Davis. Also, you don’t need to be afraid that you won’t get to see him anymore. He’s now my direct supervisor. I’ll tell him about your accident and ask him to meet you. How’s that?”
Tears welled in Lexie’s eyes as she asked, “Really?” Davis had disappeared after graduating from university. She had been hoping to find him for the past three years. She had never expected him to appear in front of her. Jocelyn nodded and said, “Yes, absolutely. Since he has already met me, there’s no need for him to continue hiding from us! Besides, it’s likely that he vanished and changed his name back then because of family-related matters. I asked him about it briefly in the morning, but he didn’t really want to bring it up. Be more cautious when you meet him. Don’t ask him too many questions!” Lexie nodded and said, “Yes, as long as he comes here, I won’t say anything!”
Jocelyn looked at Lexie. Her heart ached for her. Lexie did not seem like herself anymore after developing a crush on Chance!
When she first knew Lexie, she always had a cold poker face. However, ever since Chance appeared, her emotions seemed to have become more complicated. She was no longer the cold and calm person that she was anymore. Chance seemed to have become the person that affected all her emotions. She looked at Lexie and spoke to her in an angered tone, “Now that you’ve asked me all the questions that you wanted to, it’s time for you to explain things to me next. I just told you that I saw him. How can you fall down the stairs? Do you know how worried I was while talking to you over the phone?”
There was a guilty expression on Lexie’s cold face. She bit her lip as an apologetic expression flashed across her face. “I’m sorry, Jocelyn!” At that moment, her mind had gone blank! She did not know what she was doing at all!
Jocelyn looked at her in exasperation. She felt slightly frustrated and extremely angered. She was worried as well. However, she could not scold or hit Lexie.
At the same time, on a street nearby Claude Hospital.
A sports car and a Hummer collided with each other.
Jim was beyond angered. “Abel, is something wrong with you? Don’t you know how to turn on
your signal? Do you know how to drive?!”
Abel sat in his Hummer and rolled down his windows. He pointed his middle finger at Jim and spoke up in a provoking tone, “I did it on purpose. Is there a problem?”
