Chapter 2

Dinah entered the office with teary eyes, and everyone looked at her with sympathy.

They all knew that Dinah had given everything for Jeffrey.

Even his company was held up by her efforts.

Yet, Jeffrey did not cherish her and constantly had new women around him.

Just like today, Jeffrey had taken his new lover to a spa while Dinah had a meeting at the office late at night.

Dinah was already accustomed to such looks from others. She sat nonchalantly in the conference room and turned on her laptop. "Let's get started. We need to finish this today."

More than thirty employees worked in the conference room until dawn to complete Jeffrey's part.

She said to everyone, "That's it for today. We'll wait for Mr. Scott to sign the papers when he comes to work."

Dinah gave everyone a day off. As she left the company and turned on her phone, she saw hundreds of missed calls.

Most were from her mother-in-law, Wendy Scott, along with her father-in-law, Colin Scott, and several unknown numbers.

Jeffrey didn't call her.

Dinah called her Wendy back while frowning. "Hello..."

Wendy's angry voice roared through the phone immediately. "Dinah, Jeffrey had a terrible car accident and has been in surgery for five hours. Why couldn't we reach you?"

Dinah paused in her tracks. "Which hospital are you in?"

"The General Hospital. Get here immediately!"

The call ended abruptly.

Dinah could barely breathe.

She didn't snap back to reality until an employee accidentally bumped into her. She gasped for air.

"A car accident happened. It was another car accident!" She grabbed her purse and hurried to the stairs. After she ran down more than twenty floors, she reached the parking lot.

She sped all the way to the hospital parking lot.

When she reached the operating room's entrance, Jeffrey was still inside.

As soon as Wendy saw Dinah, the former stepped forward and slapped the latter hard. "How could you let Jeffrey drive on the treacherous mountain roads? Don't you know he has difficulty seeing at night?"

Wendy was about to slap Dinah again, but Colin stopped her. "Honey, you know how stubborn Jeffrey is. She can't stop him from doing anything if he insists."

The pain on Dinah's face slowly turned into numbness.

She said nothing and waited resolutely at the operating room's door.

She wanted to be the first to see Jeffrey.

Six hours had passed before Jeffrey was wheeled out of the operating room.

Dinah rushed forward, only to be knocked to the floor by a figure.

That figure clung to Jeffrey and cried desperately. "Oh, Jeffrey, why are you so foolish? I don't need you to protect me. As long as you're alive, I'm happy."

The doctor instructed the nurses to pull that figure away. "The patient needs to be transferred to the ICU immediately. Don't delay it."

But the two nurses couldn't pry that figure away. She held Jeffrey's hand tightly and refused to let go of him.

Seeing Jeffrey's face covered in bandages, Dinah widened her eyes.

She frantically got up from the floor and hurried to the doctor. "Doctor, where is Jeffrey injured?"

The doctor clearly recognized who Dinah was and sighed, "Mr. Scott is fortunate. The airbag absorbed most of the impact, but some of the shattered glass cut his face. All the pieces have been removed. The area near his eyes is the most severely injured, and he might lose his sight."

Dinah felt a sharp jolt in her heart and almost lost her balance. "Will he have scars?"

The doctor didn't expect her to ask that question and was stunned. "There will definitely be scars."

Dinah took a deep breath. "Get the best plastic surgeon to examine him and see if his eyes can be restored to their original way. They must be exactly the same as before."

Everyone was shocked.
