Chapter 1840: Is This Normal?

When Lucian arrived at the hospital, Sonya was still in the emergency room. His arrival startled the hospital director, who rushed over to check on Sonya and reassured them that she would be fine.

“Mr. Farwell, your mother has regained consciousness, and all her vital signs are normal. She suffered only a mild concussion from the impact to her head, but as long as she stays in the hospital for observation, she should be fine!”

Lucian nodded and thanked the doctor before immediately going to check on Sonya. Sonya’s expression was still a little dazed, but when she saw her son, she immediately smiled. “Lucian, I got into a car accident, but thankfully I’m okay. Don’t worry; I’m fine!”

Seeing her son’s concern, Sonya felt unexpectedly happy; it had been a long time since she had felt his care. Lucian approached her and asked if any part of her body was hurting.

Sonya shook her head. “I’m really fine. My head just hit the airbag. Fortunately, I wasn’t driving too fast, but it’s a shame about the spilled soup…”

“You’re involved in an accident, and yet you’re still worrying about soup? Why are you so careless?” Elias pushed open the door and walked briskly to his wife, taking her hand and checking her anxiously. He worried that something might have been missed during the examination.

Seeing her husband’s nervousness, Sonya felt even happier and said with a smile, “I’m really fine. I wasn’t paying attention, so I got into an accident. Oh, and I’m sorry about Roxanne’s car!”

Lucian immediately said, “Mom, the car isn’t important! We can just buy another one. But what about you? Were you not well-rested, and did that cause you to lose concentration?”

“No, I don’t think so! But I felt like the brakes were acting up. Fortunately, I was driving. If it had been Roxanne, and if she was driving fast, it could have been worse!”

Sonya’s offhanded remark caused both Elias and Lucian to freeze, their expressions turning serious.

“Mom, are you saying the brakes failed? That was Roxanne’s car!” Lucian’s heart skipped a beat; he felt this accident was not as simple as it seemed. Elias’ gaze confirmed Lucian’s suspicions.

“Lucian, go to the traffic department and find out what happened. I’ll stay here with your mother,” Elias said, nodding slightly and gesturing for his son to leave.

“Okay, then stay with Mom. Let me know if anything happens. I’ll go to the traffic department!” Lucian turned and left hurriedly.

This made Sonya roll her eyes at her husband. “Our son finally showed concern for me, and you made him leave in such a hurry. Why are you in such a rush?”

“You’re too carefree! Sudden brake failure isn’t normal. Plus, Roxanne was still using that car yesterday! How could it just coincidentally fail today?” Elias revealed the seriousness of the situation.

Sonya thought about it, her eyes widening in shock.

“Are you saying someone wants to harm Roxanne? Coincidentally, I borrowed her car, and because I usually drive so slowly, the accident wasn’t serious.”

Elias frowned, looking at her. It was Sonya who had initially raised this possibility. “Didn’t you mention it yourself earlier? Did you not consider this?”

“I was just joking at first. How could I have thought of such a sinister plot? Who could it be? And how did they have the opportunity to tamper with the car?” Sonya’s questions mirrored Elias’ confusion.
