Chapter 872
John soon wound down the window and stuck his head out to investigate his surroundings. At thesame time, several frustrated drivers directly got out of their cars and stepped forward to find out moreabout the crash. When they passed by John’s car, he could notice the helpless look on their faces andtheir irritated sighs.
John was not a busybody himself, but it seemed that Sophia had rubbed off on him; after all, this timethey often hung around each other. Therefore, he opened the car door and stepped out of his car. Afterlocating the crash, what came into John’s sight was a victim in a school uniform lying down in a pool ofblood. While the traffic was heavily congested, the ambulance needed some time before arriving.
Meanwhile, John remained still, noticing a car right beside the victim as a man, who seemed to be thedriver, was standing next to the vehicle in bafflement. He was seen instinctively explaining to thebystanders that he was driving normally when the boy suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.Then, he pointed at the surveillance camera and vouched for his innocence. “You could take a look atthe surveillance footage, and you’ll know that I didn’t cause this.” Nevertheless, no one seemed to beinterested in hearing his defense as they were all desperate for the victim to be taken to the hospital.
At that moment, John stared at the boy lying motionlessly on the ground, so he wasn’t able to see howinjured the victim was. A few moments later, the traffic began to clear shortly before the ambulancearrived on the scene. Then, the paramedic team quickly approached the victim to examine his injury.
As the victim was placed on the stretcher and carried away, John managed to catch a glimpse of theboy’s face. Although there were initially bloodstains on it, they were all wiped off by the paramedic teammembers. In that instant, John frowned, finding that face familiar as if he had seen that boy somewhereelse. As soon as they entered the ambulance, the paramedic team quickly set off for the hospital,
escorted by the traffic police ahead of them.
Like many other bystanders, John headed back to his car and drove off. The moment he opened thecar door and got in, the face that he had just seen earlier rang a bell. Wait a minute! That boy isIsabelle’s brother, Dexter! I first saw him back when Isabelle and I were getting engaged. At that time,he looked very much younger.
At that moment, John paused for a short while before he closed the car door, driving off as soon as thetraffic ahead cleared. When he drove past the crash scene, John took a quick glimpse at the trafficpolice officers taking a statement from the driver before he moved on.
Soon, John arrived at the rendezvous and began the discussion with his client. However, it didn’t takelong for both parties to come to an agreement, thanks to the client’s easy-going attitude. Then, Johngave an excuse that he had to leave for something urgent and moved along. Upon hesitating brieflyoutside the café, he decided to call Isabelle and told her what he saw. Meanwhile, Isabelle, who had noidea what she was going to hear next, felt surprised to receive John’s call. “John, what’s up? Is thereanything you want to tell me?”
John clicked his tongue and answered her question, “I saw a car crash at the junction just now, so youmight want to give Dexter a call and see where he is now.”
As soon as John said that, Isabelle quickly caught on to what he was trying to say, so she instinctivelyargued back in denial. “Nah, that’s definitely not Dexter. He is in school right now.”
At the same time, John wasn’t quite sure about what he saw since he hadn’t seen Dexter in a while.Well, I only just caught a glimpse of the boy’s face. Maybe that wasn’t Dexter but his doppelganger.
Then, he responded with an affirmative hum and said, “Okay, good then.” Without anything much tosay, John proceeded to hang up the call.novelbin
