If it wasn’t the one I loved at first sight, buying more later wouldn’t matter. Just like people, if we didn’t see them clearly from the start, we were already wounded beyond repair by the time we discovered the truth.
I wouldn’t have him since Michael never truly belonged to me.
On the way back, I sat in the backseat, staring out the window. At an intersection, the car suddenly jerked violently.
At that moment, I saw Michael pull the steering wheel and protect Olivia with his body.
The accident happened suddenly. When I regained consciousness, my legs were numb and I was trapped in the narrow space.
Screams and cries for help mixed with the sounds of ambulances and police sirens.
Half-conscious after being rescued, I heard Michael shout at the medical staff, “Hurry and save Olivia first! Can’t you see her arm’s all scraped?”
The medic hesitated. “But the woman in the backseat is more severely injured. Without quick treatment, she could become paralyzed.”
Michael’s eyes were reddened with anger “I’m her husband. I order you not to treat her. Save Olivia first!”
“As long as Olivia is in critical condition, she can’t get treatment.”
