In the small car, the man handed the crying Janelle over to Scarlet.
Unexpectedly, Nana’s daughter had miraculously survived!
Scarlet leaned forward to receive the baby in the swaddle, carefully examining her for a moment, her face showing disgust.
At that moment, the man turned his head and asked, “The child is still alive. What should we do?”
Hearing the question, Scarlet looked anxious and thought for a few seconds before responding, “Give the child to me for now. Are you sure Nana is already dead?”
“She might still have a breath left, but her injuries are severe. She definitely won’t last until the ambulance arrives,” the man explained.
With these words, Scarlet felt relieved. She took such a big risk because her goal was to completely eliminate Nana.
Once Nana was declared dead, Scarlet could take advantage of William’s grief over Nana’s death.
However, now that Nana’s daughter had survived, it was undoubtedly troublesome.
“Stop crying! You’re giving me a headache with all the noise!”
Scarlet became increasingly irritated, feeling annoyed as soon as she saw the child.
Initially, she had thought about killing Janelle directly, but after considering it, she decided to hand her over to Grace.
On that morning, the two of them had arranged to meet at a secret location.
When Grace appeared and saw Scarlet holding the baby in her arms, she immediately recognized her as Nana and Carl’s daughter, Janelle.
“How did this brat survive?” Grace asked incredulously.
Scarlet shook her head in confusion, pretending to look troubled. “I can’t handle young children, so it’s up to you to decide what to do with her.”
Their collaboration was a risky endeavor, and once things were exposed, no participant would escape.
To lighten her own charges, Scarlet made preparations. She would let Grace handle the dirty work, while she would remain a mere accomplice.
Thinking this through, Scarlet saw Grace frowning and remaining silent. She tentatively asked, “Miss Panchak, how do you plan to deal with this child?”
Hearing Scarlet’s curious inquiry, Grace responded coldly, “You don’t need to worry about this matter. Nana is dead anyway, and our cooperation happily ends here!”
With that said, Grace handed the promised payment to Scarlet and both of them hastily went their separate ways.
After the car accident, a passerby noticed Nana barely clinging to life inside the car and immediately called for an ambulance.
Nana was quickly transported to a hospital in the city and received immediate and intensive care.
That morning, William discovered that Nana had checked out with her daughter and assumed she had left without saying goodbye. He frantically called her.
After making several consecutive calls, someone finally answered, but on the other end of the line was an unfamiliar male voice.
“Hello, are you a friend of Miss Nana?” the voice asked.
This question caught William off guard, and he instantly had a sense of impending doom.
“Yes, I’m her friend. Who are you?” William asked cautiously.
“I’m a police officer. Miss Nana was in a car accident an hour ago and is currently being treated at the hospital.”
Upon hearing the response, William was dumbfounded, feeling as if a thunderbolt had struck his head.
He rushed from the hotel to the hospital, arriving outside the emergency room in a hurry.
By that time, the rescue operation had already concluded, and Nana had just been wheeled into the intensive care unit.
Learning that Nana had survived, William sighed with relief.
However, just as his tense nerves began to relax, another question crossed his mind.
“Nurse, what about Nana’s daughter? How is she? Is she badly injured?”
William anxiously stared at the nurse, unaware of why Nana had secretly left the hotel with her daughter, or how they had ended up in a car accident.
Everything had happened so suddenly and seemed illogical and incomprehensible to him.
In William’s impression, Nana was not a person who broke her promises. Since they had made an agreement, there was no reason for her to unilaterally cancel it.
At this moment, the nurse glanced at William with confusion and asked, “When the patient was brought to the hospital for treatment, she was alone. I heard that the driver in the car died on the spot. There were no other injured passengers.”
“What do you mean? Are you saying Nana’s daughter wasn’t in the car?” William listened in a daze, finding the overall sequence of events perplexing.
“Yes, there were only the driver and Miss Nana in the car,” the nurse confirmed.
Upon hearing this, William was stunned. Could it be that Nana had suicidal thoughts, which is why she didn’t bring Janelle with her?
Thinking about the accident location being on the way to the suburbs, William, unaware of the truth, followed this line of thought and found a plausible answer.
“Nana, why did you have to do this…” William sighed in front of the closed door of the intensive care unit.
Less than two hours after the rescue operation ended, he learned that Nana’s condition was not optimistic, and she could pass away at any moment. He immediately contacted other hospitals to arrange a transfer and do everything possible to save her.
He quickly transferred her to another hospital, using his own savings to ensure Nana’s survival.
With the relentless efforts of the medical team, Nana finally escaped the danger of life the next morning, only needing a few more days of observation.
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, William breathed a sigh of relief, shaking the doctor’s hand excitedly. “Thank you, doctor. You saved her! On behalf of Nana, I express my gratitude to you!”
William thanked the doctor while bowing, his eyes unknowingly moistening.
The doctor smiled calmly, helping him up and explaining, “Actually, we only played a part. The patient’s strong will to survive is what made the difference, and we could all feel it.”
“Really? That’s great! Thank you, thank you!”
These words gave William hope for Nana’s recovery in the future.
The recovery from any illness relies on the patient’s willpower, sometimes playing a decisive role.
Through the doctor’s reminder, William realized that Nana couldn’t let go of her daughter. Even in a coma, she was fighting for her life.
With his suspended heart finally at ease, William felt happy. However, other thoughts flashed through his mind.
Since Nana had an accident, why not take advantage of the opportunity to fake her death?
This way, he could get rid of Carl, and Nana wouldn’t have to endure his harassment after waking up.
With this in mind, William withdrew some money from his card.
He went to the hospital where Nana was initially treated, intending to bribe the hospital staff to issue a fake death certificate for Nana.
The next morning, while Carl hadn’t contacted Nana for the past few days and was focused on writing a new script.
Carl’s recent works were closely related to real life, with many details directly inspired by his own experiences.
Therefore, writing came naturally to him, and he completed a great script in just three or four days.
With a new script in hand, Carl used the excuse of sharing this good news to visit Nana and their daughter at the hotel.
However, when Carl knocked on the door, he discovered a pair of unfamiliar lovers inside.
He went to the front desk and inquired, only to be shocked to learn that Nana had already checked out with Janelle.
