Seven Years of Marriage with Jake novel Chapter 2

Chapter2

The head of the department, Mr. Larson, quickly assessed the situation around the vehicle and organized kind-hearted passersby to help drag me out of the car.

The moment I was brought to a safe area, the car behind me exploded and was swallowed by the flames.

Mr. Larson, with his rich experience, checked my injuries.

A circle of passersby surrounded me, chattering and asking about the situation.

"How can you let a pregnant woman drive out alone? This family is really irresponsible!"

"Is she okay? I called 911, but I don't know why the line was always busy. I finally got through, and when I told them the location, they said I was making it up. They hung up before I could say the words 'car accident'! It's like they've lost their minds, what kind of people does the hospital hire?"

"Honey, you can't go out alone when you're pregnant. Your belly is so big, it looks like you're about to give birth. What's your husband's phone number? I'll help you contact him."

They didn't dare to come forward just now because they were afraid of the explosion, but the concern they showed now made my nose tingle.

I endured the excruciating pain all over my body and shook my head weakly.

Even strangers I met on the street could show such concern for me.

But my husband of seven years, for a woman who had dumped him, wanted to take my life and my child's!

The seven-year itch, truly lived up to its name.

It seemed that everything that happened after my rebirth was a reminder from God of my stupidity and blindness.

No one noticed that Mr. Larson's face grew darker and darker as they spoke.

After checking my condition, he immediately took out his phone and dialed the emergency room.

The moment the call connected, I heard him angrily questioning:

"Send an ambulance to the intersection immediately! Don't you know there's been a car accident? If I hadn't passed by on my way to work, the victim would be dead now! How many times do I have to call to get you here? Who gave you the guts to do this?"

"Do you know the importance of the emergency room? If you can't make it to this shift, you're all fired!"

Five minutes later, I was loaded into an ambulance.
