Female Novel
Chapter 200 A Car Accident
Richard and Amy went back to their villa and lived a peaceful life, leaving the other Carters behind who
wouldn't change their mind and wanted nothing good for the couple anyway.
"Amy, buy something for dad and something good. And you can go there first. I'll join you after work."
Richard walked to Amy's office and said to her.
"Alright, I am planning on buying him some clothes. I'll skip work then and take him shopping this
afternoon." Amy replied. Today was Stephen's birthday. Amy had been occupied with too many things
lately and had no time to pay him a visit. She couldn't miss this chance today.
After the heart surgery, Stephen recovered very well and had been living a full life. He ran in the
morning, took a walk in the park and practiced Tai Chi every day. He was quite busy and got healthier.
When Amy called him for the shopping, he refused right away but agreed later because Amy was very
persistent. Moreover, he thought it was a good thing that Amy cared about him.
Stephen prepared for the dinner first thing in the morning. He bought everything he needed and put the
stew on the burner.
As soon as Amy entered the house, she smelled the stew. "Dad, what are you stewing? It smells
good." Amy sniffled.
"Your favorite. Small intestine. I'm simmering it over low heat. It'll be just perfect by dinner." Stephen
pointed at the crockpot and said to Amy.
"Wow, I miss your cooking. Dad, I love you. You always remember what I love to eat, but I haven't done
much for you." Amy felt like crying as she spoke. Ever since her mother left, Stephen had been both a
father and a mother to her. And the years had wrinkled his face.
"Silly, don't be sad. I'm only fifty, not very old. I haven't even been a grandfather. You two can start
working on it." Stephen patted Amy on the shoulder.
"Okay, sure." Amy nodded. She turned around and wiped away her tears while Stephen wasn't looking.
"Let's go, Dad. We're going shopping for a long time. You have to be prepared." Amy turned to
Stephen, looking lively again.
Stephen looked at his daughter, feeling sorrowful. Though she was born a business talent, Stephen
wanted for her a simpler and more peaceful life.
The father and daughter arrived at the mall. Amy wanted to buy some clothes for her father. His clothes
were all a bit old, but he didn't want to throw away any of them. Amy knew that Stephen didn't want her
to spend too much on him. But how could she not? It had cost Stephen too much to raise her up, she
was just repaying him, now that she was capable.
"This is so expensive." Stephen looked at the five-figure price and didn't really want it.
"Dad, you're already fifty. Carpe diem! This T-shirt looks nice on you, so does this pair of trousers, I'll
take them both." Amy had the salesman cut off the tags.
"Alright, but I'd better take them off. I have to cook later." Stephen's heart ached in such expensive
clothes.
"Plenty of time till then. Keep them on. You can change at home." Stephen was a handsome man, and
now even more handsome in his new clothes.
"Dad, let's go buy you a pair of shoes. Those on your feet look worn-out." Amy looked at his shoes
which were out of shape.
"Alright, let's go buy shoes." Stephan wanted Amy happy and no longer said no. In any case, she
wouldn't give up on the shoes now with all the clothes.
Except for the clothes on Stephen, Amy bought some more. Stephen couldn't bear to see her pay the
bill.
Although he knew that the Carter family was rich, Stephen didn't want Amy to live on them. They might
use it against her.
"Dad, it's alright. These are my money, my salary. Not theirs." Amy read his mind and explained.
After they finished shopping, they walked out together. Remembering two seasonings that they hadn't
bought, Stephen wanted to go to the supermarket not far away to have a look.
Arm in arm, they walked towards the supermarket while talking and laughing.
All the while, a black car that had been waiting at the door drove out and followed Amy and Stephen.
Suddenly, Amy seemed to see a man and a woman walking ahead. The man was very caring to the
woman. His arms were around her waist and she was leaning on his shoulder. The man was in the
same outfit that Richard wore this morning.
Just as Amy was staring blankly, the woman spoke.
"Richard, I want to buy something in the supermarket." With that, she inadvertently took a glance back.
It was Allison.
The man did not look back but touched Allison's belly, looking very concerned.
Allison laughed happily.
The car behind them had accelerated towards Amy. But Amy was numbed by what she saw. How could
he ask for her trust and do such things behind her back?
Amy's eyes were wet. Stephen noticed it but didn't have the time to find out why. He saw the black car
was at a high speed and was about to hit Amy.
There was no time to think. Stephen pushed Amy away before he was knocked over and flew meters
away. The car was almost red with all the blood.
"Dad, Dad." Amy finally came to her senses and rushed over.
Stephen was lying in blood, which kept flowing out. He struggled to open his eyes and raise his hand to
touch Amy's face, as if ready to say something.
However, the car had no intention of leaving. Although the windshield of the car was covered innovelbin
Stephen's blood, the car accelerated again towards Amy.
