Chapter 16 Engagement Day
In Loganberry Lane of Saeville, everyone rushed toward it.
A pickup truck crashed into the sidewalk, and it knocked the guardrail at the side.
On the sidewalk, Freya fell on the icy ground; her trolley was ruined, and her t–shirts were scattered everywhere.
Her ribs were broken, and her body flung and she rolled to the side.
The driver who caused the accident fled the scene; this was a very severe accident. A red Ferrari also slammed into the truck.
Luckily, the Ferrari cushioned the impact of the truck; if not, Freya would have suffered more than broken ribs.
The accidents happened in an instant; all the vehicles lost control one after another. One car was rushing toward Freya; another slammed into the pickup truck, and the Ferrari ended up hitting the tree trunk beside the road.
The driver’s head was bleeding, and he almost fainted.
The bystanders were calling the police; none of them dared touch or move Freya around. But some of them were brave, and they tried to get the driver out of the car in case it exploded.
But none of them expected the man to limp toward Freya after he regained consciousness.
“Freya! Freya!”
Jacob shouted crazily, and he kneeled at her side.
He tried to phone her before, but it disconnected halfway through their conversation. And he could not reach her phone anymore.
Jacob could not focus at all on the business discussion in Hidalgo.
He felt that something was wrong with himself; he was losing control once he met Freya again.
He pitied her at the beginning, and he wanted to make it up for her. But he was overdoing it now.
He used to play with her when they were both young: she was easy–going and fun to be with. He became obsessive after seeing how much she changed.
He quickly settled all the businesses in Hidalgo, and he left the rest of the follow–up to his assistant. He hurriedly booked an air ticket and flew back.
He went to the red shift to look for her, but he did not know she had resigned half a month ago.
He used his connections to get some information from Peyton about Freya’s rental house, and he saw her when he was driving past Loganberry Lane.

He slowed down his car, and he was thinking about how to strike up a conversation with her. But he suddenly saw a pickup truck accelerate and rushed toward her.

Jacob completely lost his mind upon seeing Freya covered in blood.
The Vanara of Saeville was a newly developed island.

The reporters were pointing their cameras at Nathaniel; they were ready to witness this exciting
moment.
“Mr. Morgan and moment!”
Ms. Hill, please exchange your engagement rings; let’s all witness this happy
Everyone was applauding them. Abigail nervously grabbed the ring box; she ordered a ring that was specially made for him.
The guests all looked at Nathaniel; he took a deep breath, and Koen quickly handed him the ring box.
Nathaniel casually held it in his hand as he walked closer to Abigail. Suddenly, there was a commotion between his best friends; they were whispering among themselves, and Ozzy stood up and left.
They looked anxious, but none of them dared tell Nathaniel about what had happened; they did not want to ruin his important day.
Nathaniel frowned. He knew his best friends well; something severe must be happening for them to be this panicked.
Koen, what’s wrong?” Nathaniel stopped walking.
Koen was taken aback. Mr. Morgan, shouldn’t you be exchanging rings with Ms. Hill right now? Why are you asting this
He did not know what to say; what happened was too sudden. They were stunned, but Ozzy had left to help.
“Tell me!” Nathaniel hated people for hiding things from them; he hated to be treated like a fool.
Koen hurriedly whispered, “Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rivera was in a car accident; his forehead was injured.”
Nathaniel was stunned. Since when did he come back? Why is he not joining my engagement ceremony?
Wait. Hitting his head shouldn’t be a big deal. So why does Ozzy rush out?
Ozzy was the best surgeon in Saeville; a small injury should not need him.
“Koen, if you ever dare to hide anything from me, you know the consequences.”
Koen’s facial expression changed, and he muttered, “And… Ms. Gomez was also caught up in the accident. Her ribs were broken, and she’s heavily injured. And she’s in the emergency room now; Ozzy was called by Mr. Rivera to the hospital.”
Nathaniel froze. He was terrified from the bottom of his heart.
He had never been this afraid in his life; he turned and dashed toward the door.
