The President's Accidental Wife novel Chapter 383

But she did not find Charlotte, nor heard her answering. Dean was calm. He asked around if anybody had seen a four-year-old in a pettiskirt with a strawberry cake box in her hand.

At last, one person responded. "I saw a little girl you just described. She ran out of the supermarket seconds ago."

Dean chased out at once, while Summer was on his heels.

Men run faster than women. Dean had his heart in his mouth when he found Charlotte standing in the middle of the road, picking up a kite in the traffic.

He quickened his pace and ran as fast as he could while calling out to Charlotte. “Stand there, Charlotte! Don't move!"

Charlotte heard Dean’s voice and turned around, happily raising the kite in her hand to show Dean. “A kite, Uncle Dean!"

Just when Dean was two steps away from Charlotte, a car suddenly came to a couple of meters away from Charlotte.

The driver of the car did not see this coming and panicked, mistakenly stepping on the gas instead of

the brake pedal.

The car sped up toward Charlotte. Dean gritted his teeth and lunged forward to protect Charlotte in his arms. The car hit them head on, sending both of them i n the air before they crash-landed on the ground. Blood started to flow.

There was blood on Dean's head and Charlotte's body. They lay on the ground, motionless, unconscious.

The cake that Charlotte was holding had been thrown far away with the cake and the box falling apart.

The white cream was stained with blood. It looked glaringly bright, with red on white. It was not known whose blood it was-Dean's or Charlotte's.

A crowd had gathered, and people were discussing among themselves. Some were taking out their cell phones to call for an ambulance.
