Chapter 922
Tyler held Rachel as they walked out, almost carrying her into the car out of fear that she might lose her balance.
Throughout the journey, he didnโt make a single mention of Samantha, and instead chose to chat with her about mundane matters.
โI heard from Wanda that Sunny toppled the flower pot at home and Ray taught her a lesson.โ
Rachel knew that Tyler was worried about Samanthaโs accident affecting her, and chuckled to ease his worry.
โIs that so? Seems like Sunny is slowly getting used to life at home. I remember she was very easily frightened when she first arrived.โ
โItโs good that sheโs finally getting used to things. Wanda said that Sunny and Ray get along very well now.โ
When they returned to their apartment, Tyler made Rachel sit down on the couch before pouring her a glass of warm honey water. He heated up some soup which he brought to her.
โDrink some soup. Donโt rush, thereโs more in the kitchen.โ
Rachel wasnโt used to Tyler being this way. With the bowl in hand, she said, โIโm fine, really. Go be busy.โ
โIโm almost done with work, anyway. Iโve told William to stay by Samanthaโs side at the hospital. Heโll call me if he has news.โ
Rachelโs hand subconsciously tightened over the bowl. She felt her throat constricting.
โHow is Samantha doing?โ
โItโs hard to tell right now, but donโt feel burdened. This has nothing to do with you. Samanthaโs suffering the consequences of her actions. If she hadnโt tried to push you, she wouldnโt have gotten hit by a car.โ
Rachel nodded. She was simply shocked by what happened at that time. She didnโt really feel guilty about it.
As Tyler said, if it werenโt for the wicked thought Samantha had in mind, this accident could have been avoided.
Seeing Rachel sipping on the soup and the color returning to her cheeks relieved Tyler, who pulled out his phone and saw a text from William.
[Samanthaโs out of the operating theatre. Her legs were crushed during the accident and they have to be amputated in order to save her life.]
Tylerโs fingers flew across the screen of his phone.
[Got it.]
After sending the reply, Tyler put his phone away and concentrated on being with Rachel.
He didnโt want such bad news affecting Rachel. He wanted her to focus on the pregnancy with a peace of mind and await the coming of their wedding.
Meanwhile, Samantha stirred awake at the hospital.
As the anesthesia slowly wore off, she felt a soul-crushing pain coming from her legs. When she tried to move them, she realized that there was nothing below her waist. The familiar feeling under the sheets was gone, leaving nothing but cold emptiness.
โMy legsโฆwhere are my legs?!โ
Samantha threw back the sheets and shrieked when she saw that the legs of her pants were flat. Her screams were so agonizing, all the nurses outside jumped in fright.
โWhere have my legs gone?โ
William walked in from the corridor at the commotion and saw Samantha on the brink of collapse on the bed. His face was wiped clean of emotion and sympathy. He wore a cold, blank stare as he relayed the news.
โThe doctor said that your legs were too severely injured and had to be amputated, or your life would be at risk.โ
โAmputated?!โ Samanthaโs eyes widened as she glared at William. โWhy didnโt you stop them? William, were you looking forward to me being an invalid?โ
William frowned, his voice cold.
โSamantha, get this straight. You were the one who tried to push Rachel and ended up getting yourself into an accident. You reap what you sow. Iโm already doing what I can by staying here with you.โ
โDoing what you can?โ Samantha laughed, tears rolling down her cheeks. โWhat did you say when you pursued me back then? You said youโd treat me well my entire life, youโd protect me forever! Now that Iโve become like this, youโre telling me youโre doing what you can? William, youโre nothing but a liar!โ
