I didn't want to get involved.
But after thinking about it, she was still the mother of my child, and now we were a family. She was crying hard. Maybe she was really hurt.
When I got to the scene of the accident, I saw Amelia carefully blowing on Shawn's forehead.
There was a small bump.
I looked Amelia up and down and confirmed again that she was unharmed, breathing a sigh of relief.
But before I could catch my breath, Amelia saw me and came up to grab my hand tightly.
Her palms were sweaty, maybe she was really scared.
But soon her words refreshed my understanding of her.
"Elijah, you've come at the right time! Now go to the car and sit there. If the traffic police ask, just say you were driving."
"What?"
I stood still in a daze, realizing that she was asking me to take the blame.
"Elijah, Shawn has lost his job and is looking for work. He can't have any violations on his record. Just do me a favor and help him, okay?"
My wife, asking me to do her ex-boyfriend a favor by taking the blame for him!
What an unreasonable person!
Before I could even object, the traffic police arrived at the scene.
Amelia pushed me out. "Officer, he was driving the car and ran into the person!"
