Chapter 389 Narrow Escape

Following behind them, Jose’s expression suddenly changed.

Not dead?

How could Johnathan still be alive?

Didn’t they say he crashed into a freight truck?

At that speed, even the best car would be totaled – so why was he still breathing?

Jose didn’t even realize how twisted his expression had become.

Susie, overjoyed, was just about to share the good news with her son when she saw the look on his face.

That wasn’t the face of someone relieved. It wasn’t the expression a younger brother should have after hearing his older brother had survived.

Susie’s heart dropped sharply, her face turning pale.

Chase didn’t notice Jose’s reaction. Seeing his wife’s sudden change in expression, he asked in concern, “What’s wrong?”

Snapping out of it, Susie forced a smile. “Nothing, I’m just really happy.”

Chase patted her hand and didn’t suspect anything. He felt the same way.

Though Johnathan was out of danger, he had been transferred to the ICU. No one was allowed in, so Sierra and the others could only wait outside.

Sierra stood by the window, peering in at Johnathan through the glass.

He lay motionless, still under anesthesia. His body was covered in injuries, and Sierra’s heart ached just looking at him.

Mateo and the others had wanted to convince her to go rest, but seeing her like this, they couldn’t bring themselves to say anything.

Once Wayne heard Johnathan was stable, he didn’t stay much longer. At his age, he was already pushing his limits.

As he left, he cast a complicated glance at Sierra and sighed quietly.

Chase and Susie also left soon after, leaving Sierra and Mateo behind. Stone and the others had gone to investigate what had happened. They wanted to do their part.

Johnathan was a close friend. Anyone who dared touch him had made enemies of them too.

Mateo had food sent over and quickly urged, “Sierra, eat something.”

Sierra didn’t refuse. She had regained her composure.

She knew she couldn’t collapse. For a long while to come, Johnathan would need her to take care of him.

Mateo had expected to have to talk her into it, but to his surprise, she had already calmed down. He looked at her with admiration. “Sierra, you’re incredible.”

Johnathan’s accident had shaken even them. But Sierra had managed to steady herself this quickly.

“As long as he’s okay, nothing else matters,” Sierra said softly.

After eating a little, she added, “If you find out anything, please let me know right away.”

“Don’t worry, Sierra. Whoever had the guts to go after Johnathan was asking for it.” Mateo’s usual playful manner was gone. His tone was cold and sharp.

Talking with Mateo helped ease her nerves a little more. Sierra glanced at the ICU again. Johnathan still hadn’t woken up.

“Don’t worry, it’s just the anesthesia,” Mateo reassured her.

Sierra nodded, then brought up Quinn. “Is there any security footage? I want to see it.”

Mateo immediately pulled up the clip of Quinn escaping. “Here. Watch this part.”

The nurse who entered had a similar build to Quinn, so it wasn’t obvious to anyone else what had happened.

Suddenly thinking of something, Sierra’s expression changed. “Where’s Dora? What about her-?”

Mateo quickly said, “Don’t worry. Once we realized Quinn had escaped, we arranged protection for Dora right away.”

They had also hoped to use it as a chance to recapture Quinn. But she was slippery – only this short clip remained, and after that, she vanished.

What’s more, she hadn’t even tried to contact Dora again. It was cold-hearted – far beyond what they’d expected.

Then Sierra suddenly thought of something and muttered, “Why didn’t I think to check their DNA?”

Maybe Dora wasn’t Quinn’s daughter at all. Maybe she was just a decoy.

The lab at the school had samples of both their blood. Sierra called Autumn and asked her to verify whether they were actually related.

After handling everything, Sierra looked back up – and froze.

Johnathan had opened his eyes.

She rushed to the glass, calling his name.

“Johnathan!”
