Chapter 43
Theodore moved to the opposite side.
He stared out of the window, looking unusually embarrassed.
He swallowed hard as he tried to conceal the bulge in his pants.
The humming sound of the engine was the only sound that could be heard as the tension continued to build up.
Ariana didn’t have the courage to look at Theodore again.
She couldn’t stop thinking of how soft and warm his lips were, and the bulge she felt while her hand rested on his crotch.
These thoughts were driving her crazy.
The car suddenly jolted and halted again.
Caught off guard, Ariana fell to the side.
Her forehead hit Theodore’s hard shoulder.
The pain made her cry out and brought tears to her eyes.
Theodore stretched out one hand to help her up.
Then he turned to Horace.
“Why the hell are you driving so recklessly?”
Horace replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, sir.
It wasn’t intentional.
There’s a car accident ahead.
We are stuck in a traffic jam.
”
Ariana pressed her palm against her aching forehead.
She looked out of the window and saw that there was a crowd ahead.
A private car had crashed into a taxi.
“I guess we will have to wait for a while,” said Horace, turning off the ignition.
Theodore didn’t say anything.
When he saw that Ariana was still curiously looking out of the window, he was about to say something.
But her face suddenly changed.
She wrapped her scarf around her neck and got out of the car in a hurry.
“I’ll be back in a jiffy!” she uttered before running off.
Horace quickly wound down the window and shouted behind her, “Where are you off to, Ms.
Edwards?”
Ariana didn’t look back or respond.
She soon vanished into the crowd.
Horace turned to look at Theodore.
“Boss, should I go after her?”

Theodore didn’t respond.
He stared broodingly in the direction where Ariana disappeared.
Meanwhile, Ariana made her way through the crowd until she got to the accident scene.
From afar, she had caught a glimpse of the woman in the back seat of the taxi.
Her clothes were the same as the ones Sarah had on earlier.
They also looked alike.
It was indeed Sarah.
She was in a very bad situation.
Shards of glass were everywhere.
”
The car had hit the taxi so hard that the front of the taxi was crunched up.
The taxi driver passed out cold.
Sarah was still conscious, but it appeared she wouldn’t be for too long.
There was blood oozing from her nose and other parts of her body.
Despite the bad state she was in, she still held a kid tightly.
“Sarah, are you okay?” Ariana asked, intending to pull her out of the taxi first.
Sarah opened her eyes and shook her head weakly.
“Please help me.
Take my child first.
Don’t let the paparazzi take pictures of her.
”
Ariana looked at the kid in her arms.
The little girl was badly shaken up by the accident.
She held on to Sarah tightly with a blank look on her face.
Ariana noticed that there were many white spots on the little girl’s face.
She wondered if it was caused by some connate disease.
Now wasn’t the time to think about such things.
People were gathering in their numbers.
Some onlookers had already recognized Sarah.
The media could arrive any moment from now.
