Chapter 647: Chapter 348: The Craniotomy Was Not Very Successful
Kay Forrest hung up the phone and looked at Jane Quinlan, shaking his head. "The situation doesn’t look too optimistic."
This morning, Evelyn Claire drove Wendy’s car onto the highway, then headed to Anchester.
The police in Anchester have been in touch with the police in Anchester.
The news from over there is that the car was found at the bottom of a cliff."
"Oh my god," Jane looked at Kay, her eyes somewhat panicked, "Then Wendy..."
"Don’t know, I heard they’re trying to save her in Anchester’s hospital."
Jane looked at him: "What do we do now?"
"What can we do, we can only wait for the results."
Jane was also puzzled: "Wasn’t the car driven by Evelyn? Why did she come back, but the car ended up off the cliff? Isn’t that very strange?"
"Only Evelyn can explain this. But as you see, she’s pretty stubborn."
Jane frowned slightly: "Isn’t there any other solution?"
"There is, later we can check Wendy’s car’s dash cam.
If the contents haven’t been deleted, maybe... we can find the answer."
"Deleted?"
Kay nodded: "I suspect that Evelyn is very meticulous in the way she does things.
If she planned to send that car off the cliff, she likely would have deleted the contents of the recorder in advance."
Jane shook her head in disbelief: "Only today I realized that people can truly be inscrutable.
Look at Evelyn, gossiping although she usually seems so kind.
Who would have thought she would be audacious enough to... commit murder."
"Wendy was too eager to impress others. If she had reported to me as soon as she sensed something wrong, she might have avoided this ordeal.
It’s a pity, she was too determined to prove herself, that’s where she fell short."
"Who in this world is without flaws? You have them, I have them, everyone’s got them."
Jane still thought Wendy was quite pitiable.
Kay patted her shoulder: "No matter what you’re thinking, what’s going to happen will still happen; you can’t change anything, so... just sleep.
As for the issues that need to be dealt with, I will handle them tomorrow with the company’s people."
Jane nodded, yes, what Kay had said made sense.
Even if her mind is filled with restless thoughts, sleep is necessary, otherwise... how could she let down the baby in her belly.
She went to the bathroom to freshen up, while Kay called Manager Annie.
Because she was the manager from the assistant’s office, both employees who had accidents were under her, and she was quite astonished.
"Let’s not talk about how this could have happened for now.
Tomorrow morning I need to make a trip to the hospital in Anchester to check on Wendy’s condition.
After coming back, I also need to visit the police station, you’ll accompany me then."
"Okay, Director Forrest."
"Right, you handle notifying Wendy’s parents.
If her parents have any conditions they want to discuss with the company, you’re authorized to handle them."
Annie nodded: "I got it, Director Forrest; I’ll wait for you downstairs at the company tomorrow morning."
"Alright."
The next morning, Jane got up early to prepare breakfast, and she went to wake Kay.
Kay looked at the time: "Darling, it’s only seven o’clock."
"There’s plenty of time for lazy sleep, but you should have a lot to deal with today.
Better get up early.
Here, I’ve prepared clothes for you.
The toothpaste is squeezed, you go freshen up, and come out for breakfast in a bit."
Kay got out of bed lazily: "Alright, alright, as you command, my dear wife."
Jane pursed her lips lightly and went out first.
During breakfast, Jane added some food to his bowl: "Give me a call after you’ve seen Wendy."
"Don’t worry, I won’t keep you wondering for long.
However, no matter the outcome, I still hope you can keep your emotions in check."
Jane understood what Kay meant; he wanted her not to be too saddened.
She pursed her lips lightly and nodded.
"Also, don’t go to the company today, stay home and rest.
I won’t be there in the morning, it wouldn’t mean much for you to be there."
Jane smiled lightly: "It’s even more meaningless for me to stay at home.
It’s boring alone.
I’ll go to the company, at least there are people there."
"If you can’t make it back by noon, I’ll go join Uncle for lunch,"
"That’s fine, if I’m not back by the time work ends, you should drive home early by yourself."
"Yeah," Jane Quinlan nodded, "there’s no need for you to worry about me, I’m not a child."
"Right, you are not a child, you are a child’s mother, it’d be strange if I wasn’t worried."
Kay Forrest shook his head with a sigh and put down his chopsticks: "Alright, I’m full. I haven’t had your cooking in several days; I ate a bit too much this morning."
After finishing speaking, he stood up: "Let’s go, I’ll give you a ride to the company."
Upon arriving at the company’s entrance and seeing Annie, Kay Forrest stopped the car and said to Jane Quinlan at his side, "You go up first."
"Hmm, be careful on the road."
"Don’t worry," Kay Forrest rubbed her head reassuringly.
Jane Quinlan got out of the car and nodded to Annie: "Manager Claire."
Manager Claire pursed her lips and gave her a kindly smile, a stark contrast to her former stern demeanor: "Jane, are you heading upstairs?"
"Yes, Manager Claire, I wish you all the best today."
Having said that, Jane Quinlan went on her way, while Manager Claire said to Kay Forrest, "Director Forrest, let me drive."
"No need, get in the car."
Quickly, Annie scurried to the passenger seat, and as soon as she got in, she couldn’t help but exclaim how different the experience was in this brand-name sports car.
"How did you handle the matter I asked you to deal with yesterday?"
Annie respectfully replied, "Director Forrest, I’ve called Wendy’s parents and sent a car to bring them to Anchester overnight.
However, the specific details can only be known once I arrive in Anchester."
"Were you aware of Evelyn Claire’s personal circumstances before?"
Annie shook her head: "If I had known earlier that she was struggling mentally, I certainly would have talked to her.
She was always so outgoing and sociable at work, I really thought she was a lively girl.
Who could have imagined she had such a dark side?
A few days ago, I had a meal with Wendy, and she inquired about Evelyn Claire.
I asked her why she was asking, but she wouldn’t say.
If I had known earlier, perhaps I could have helped resolve the misunderstanding between them.
Wendy may be a bit sharp, but she’s not a bad person at heart.
How could such a disaster befall her?"
As Annie spoke, she unconsciously touched the necklace around her neck, her heart also aching.
Wendy was a sensible woman to her.
Kay Forrest glanced at Annie: "Didn’t you read Evelyn Claire’s resume?"
"I did," Annie nodded, not daring to hide anything at this time.
"Didn’t you know why her father died?"
Annie felt a surge of anxiety: "I knew, I talked to her when she first came to work under me.
I asked her if she would resent the company or hate Mr. Forrest because her father worked here and died while still employed. She said she didn’t have such thoughts, everyone has their own fate.
She needed to live, to earn a living to support herself.
She sounded sincere when she said those things at the time.
And I thought the HR department must have vetted her, so I didn’t think much about it.
She has been working at our company for not just a year or two.
Although she didn’t have any major achievements, she always followed the rules.
Some accidents really catch you off guard.
I was genuinely startled when you called me yesterday.
Evelyn Claire and Wendy usually didn’t have much to do with each other.
I don’t understand where such deep animosity could have come from."
Kay Forrest remained silent, and after speaking a few sentences, Annie also stopped talking, realizing it was futile to continue.
The car took over forty minutes to arrive at the central hospital in Anchester.
After inquiring around, the two arrived at the door of the Intensive Care Unit.
Wendy’s parents were both crying desperately at the door, heartbroken.
Seeing them, Annie stepped forward: "Mr. and Mrs. Yang, hello, I am the assistant manager of Skyward Group, and this is our Deputy President of Skyward Group.
We came here specially to visit Wendy today, how is she doing now?"
Upon her speaking, the two cried even harder.
Kay Forrest felt that it was impossible to communicate with people immersed in grief, so he turned and went to the doctor’s office to inquire about Wendy’s condition.
After talking with the doctor, he realized why Wendy’s parents were crying so intensely; apparently, Wendy had just been rushed to emergency surgery again before they arrived.
She had suffered a severe intracranial hemorrhage, and since she wasn’t brought to the hospital in time, the craniotomy couldn’t be considered smooth.
