Chapter 0146
For a moment, there was silence as the realization of what just happened sunk in, then I broke out of my frozen state and ran over to the crash, my heart lodged in my throat.
There were already a number of passersby around the crash. Some called 911 while some uselessly brought out their phone to film the accident.
I dropped my bag and squatted beside the wreckage that used to be Mark's car. In there, Mark, his driver and his assistant were stuck in there, upside down. Blood trickled down Mark's temple. "Mark!" No matter how many times I screamed his name, he didn't open his eyes. "Mark! Hang in there..." looked around me and asked for the help of the people standing around. They could at least make their presence useful.
"Somebody, help!" I screamed and turned back to Mark. "I need help!" I continued shouting as I reached for Mark and attempted to pull him out.
"Help!" I looked up again and immediately looked back at Mark in the car only to snap my head back up. with a friend on my face. For a moment, I thought I caught a glimpse of Luigi among the crowd but when I looked again, it was just some random guy who had his phone up that stood ther
I shook my head. I must be seeing things. "Help!"
Two men rushed over to help me. I selfishly pointed to Mark first. "Please, help me get him out."
One of them looked inside and shook his head. "We'd need to raise the car a few inches, else he might lose one of his limbs." My heart tightened and my eyes watered at the pain Mark must be going through. The man hollered out to two other men. While three of them lifted the wrecked car, me and the man carefully dragged Mark out.
At that moment, the ambulance siren blared loudly from a distance. As soon as they got closer, the people who had formed a crowd cleared the path for the ambulance to drive through. A few feet away from the scene of the accident, the ambulance parked and the paramedics hurried out of the vehicle. A wheeled stretcher was rolled out and the men immediately lifted Mark and placed him on the stretcher. My heart tightened and I covered my mouth as choked sobs escaped my lips at the sight of Mark's bleeding head. His suit was in tatters and his legs and arm were also covered in blood.
I ran after them as they wheeled Mark to the ambulance and placed him in it. Mark's eyes fluttered open, his eyes settled on me and his hands slowly lifted as he tried to reach out toward me. Just as I moved forward to grasp his hand, it felt back and his lids slammed shut and my heart, at the same time, dropped. With the help of everyone, Mark's assistant and driver were also rescued.
I turned to the doctor as they were placing Mark's driver in too. "Doctor, will they be okay?"
The man shook his head without looking at me, he was changing his gloves and preparing to carry out some first aid on Mark's assistant who was hyperventilating.
"I'm not sure, ma'am. We need to get them to the hospital first." He lifted his face and looked at me, "Are you in any way related to any of them?"

I hesitated fir a moment. I am his ex-wife, a business partner and also Doris has made me promise to look out for him. I couldn't be more related to him.
"Yes, I'm related to the first man. The other two are our workers."
He nodded, "Don't worry, we'd try our best." Then he got on the ambulance and got in after him.
On our way to the hospital, I called Grace.
1 steadied my voice, "You don't need to come to the intersection anymore and I don't think you should keep helping that airhead with anything anymore. Mark just got involved in a car accident. We're currently in an ambulance on our way to the hospital."
Grace gasped, "Oh my god. A car accident?"
"I swear it still feels surreal," my voice shook as my gaze traveled to Mark. Despite everything the EMT was doing, he had remained still.
