Second Chances At Love

5. Learning the truth behind the accident

Overseas, at the company's branch.

Albert, who had just finished his meeting, received another call from his assistant.

The assistant reported respectfully, "CEO, Young Master just went to the supermarket to buy a lot of nutrition products. He's on his way to the hospital now."

Albert stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office. Many men over the age of 30 had started to gain weight and had big bellies. However, Albert was different. The heavens seemed to favor him especially.

The 35-year-old man's figure was still tall and slender. Under the suit that fit him, the outline of his muscles could be vaguely seen. His shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow. Of course, the years still left traces on his face. No matter how well the 35-year-old man maintained his figure and face, his character had been tempered by time. It was even more steady but unpredictable, making it difficult for others to grasp.

"Has everything been arranged?" Albert's voice was low.

His assistant replied, "Everything has been arranged. Don't worry, Albert."

"Ok."

This matter was not simple. If it was any parent who had gone through the trials of society, they would be able to see the problem. However, it was different when it was a 16-year-old child.

No matter how mature and steady their temperament was, children who grew up under the protection of their parents would not be able to see the dark side of society. They thought that they knew a lot and could see through it, but in fact, they were extremely childish.

For example, in this incident, the boys thought that they were doing a good deed to protect the girl who was bullied, but they did not remember that they were attending an exclusive private school, and the students who were there had a special background. How could those gangsters have the guts to bully people from an aristocratic school?

Of course, nothing was absolute in the world. Perhaps they were just being reckless. However, the security of the elite school was top-notch. As long as the girl who was surrounded shouted, the security guards would appear in front of them in less than three seconds and subdue the hooligans. Was there a need for the students to act as vigilantes?

He was still too young.

Albert thought of his son's tender face. Everyone said that sons were the epitomes of their fathers, but Albert was not as impulsive and reckless as his son when he was young.

As a workaholic, the only person who could make Albert put aside his work for a while and think carefully was Adam. He was still worried about his son's character, the assistant on the other end of the phone added, "Well... CEO, Young Master met your wife when he was shopping at the supermarket today. Your wife happened to bump into Young Master when she went to buy a watermelon, but the two of them didn't communicate much. After paying their bills, they went their separate ways."

After the assistant said this, he felt that it was inappropriate. Did this sound like he was complaining to CEO? Saying that his newly married wife didn't have a good relationship with his son? That she didn't even want to maintain a superficial relationship?

When he thought of this, the assistant broke out in a cold sweat. He swore that he was just casually mentioning it. He didn't mean anything by it. If Boss was dissatisfied with his wife because of his words; and his wife found out through Albert that it was because he said something he shouldn't have said. His career would be in danger!

Fortunately, Albert did not probe further. He only said that he knew, and the assistant heaved a sigh of relief. However, at the same time, he also reminded himself in his heart to be careful when he spoke in the future. Now that he had the lady boss, he had more things to consider when dealing with people.

Hannah did not know that his assistant had casually told Albert about her first meeting with Adam. However, she was not afraid even if he knew. She did not do anything wrong. She just did not pay the bill for her stepson, there was no law that stated that a stepmother had to pay the bill for her stepson, right?

On the other side, Adam followed the address given by the School director and arrived at the hospital where the boys from the morning were hospitalized.

One thing led to another. It was wrong for them to harass female students, but it was another matter for someone to be hit by a car because of him. He wanted to inquire about the situation of that person from the school, but unfortunately, the school teacher did not say anything about it, so he could only personally come to the hospital

Because he did not know the name of the hooligans, he could only go to the nurse's desk and ask, "Hello, please help me find someone. He has yellow hair and a tattoo on his right arm. He is about 1.75 meters tall and very thin. He was sent here after a car accident."

He told her everything that he could think of.

The nurse was also very warm-hearted. As she peeked at Adam's handsome face, she searched through the computer system for patients that matched it. "I found him. He is in bed 26 on the seventh floor in the inpatient ward. He has a fracture and his condition is not serious. He will be fine after recuperating for a period of time."

Adam heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

He placed the nutritional supplements in his hands on the nurse's desk. "Can you help me pass these things to him?"

The nurse scratched her head. "Not really. The head nurse doesn't want us to help pass these things to patients. Why don't you take a look at the visiting hours and personally deliver them to him?"

Adam did not force her. After thanking her, he carried the things and walked towards the elevator.

After the nurse saw him get into the elevator, she quickly picked up her phone and dialed a number. She lowered her voice and reported something.

"Ding."

The elevator door opened and Adam strode out. He carried a bunch of nutritional supplements and walked towards the ward with some hesitation. Should he leave his things at the door later? Since he was fine now, he was relieved.

Because of the parents of the students, the ward where the hooligan stayed was a VIP ward. There were not many patients who could stay on this floor. The corridor was empty and very quiet.

As Adam walked forward, there was finally noise in the air.

"Hahaha, this is the first time I know that money is so easy to earn! These parents are really generous for the sake of their children."

"That's right, this is the legendary saying that rich people are stupid."

"No, they're not stupid. If we were the first to hit someone and were in the wrong first, those parents would kill us, we would all be squatting at the police station by now, let alone counting the money here."

"Right, right, right. The boss is wise. He knows how to lure the students to make the first move. We only asked those girls for directions. The students misunderstood it and thought that we were bullying them. In the end, we are the ones who are in the right."

Hearing this, Adam stopped in his tracks.

"I've asked around. The person who made the first move is called Adam. His family is very rich. His father is the famous Albert Black. He definitely doesn't lack money. I reckon that this time, we can at least get four to five hundred thousand or five to six hundred thousand from Albert."

"But our Donald is smart. He knows how to run on the road. Being hit by a car and fracturing his bone is nothing. Anyway, Adam is the one to bear the responsibility. As long as we are a little tougher, let alone five to six hundred thousand, he will give us a million!"

"Really? Can Albert really give us a million dollars for his son?"

"If it wasn't for Donald's cleverness, we wouldn't have been able to get so much money from the Black family. We'll give him the most credit, and he can take more after the money is here. Does anyone have any objections?"

"Of course. He is already injured, so no one will take his share of the money."

They laughed and discussed what to do with the money after they got it.
