Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Chapter 893

Richard looked down at her, his heart twisting when he saw her tremble with the force of heaving out

the next round of anguished sobs. He had no idea how badly injured her mother was.

All he knew from the photos that were sent to him was that the other driver in the collision had died on

the spot and that Angela’s mom had been unconscious when they ferried her to the hospital.

Whether or not Angela’s mother could survive remained a variable.

Just then, Angela held the door jamb for support as she got to her feet. She was still sobbing as she

looked up pleadingly at the man in front of her, then said, “Could you at least let me call my dad and let

him tell me how my mom is doing? Please?”

Richard nodded slightly in agreement, relieved that she was settling for a call instead of leaving.

She was just about to walk out when her legs caved under her weight and made her stagger. Sensing

this, Richard quickly reached out to hold her, his arms wrapped securely around her frame as he

steadied her. He assessed her pale face and how feeble she was, then asked quietly, “Can you walk?”

Angela straightened up when she heard this. With her back stiffened, she walked toward the

conference room where he and his men worked. This was her silent protest against his heartless

display earlier.

As soon as she arrived in the conference room, the four men working in front of their computers

glanced up at her worriedly. They could tell she had been crying just from looking at her red and puffy

eyes, and they grew even more concerned.

“Don’t worry, Miss Meyers, your mother will be fine,” Trevor comforted softly.

“Do you have a video of the car crash?” Angela asked hoarsely. “I want to see it.”

Jared immediately closed his laptop and peered at Richard, who stood at the door with his arms

crossed. When Richard shot him a hard look, he stammered a little awkwardly, “N-No, we only got a

call about it. No videos were sent to us.”

However, Angela had already seen through him. Her gaze fell on his laptop, and she rounded the long

table to where he sat. Then, she shoved him aside and opened up his laptop, thereafter. searching

her eyes.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Jared looked at Richard, silently asking for help. Having

already seen Angela’s break-down earlier, Richard walked up to her and closed the laptop, then said,

“We should wait for the hospital to get back to us on this.”

The tears spilled down her cheeks once more as she pondered on the meaning behind his words. If he

so stubbornly refused to let her see the video, then it could only mean that the accident had been a

brutal one and that the chances of her mother surviving were slim to none.

At the thought that she would miss seeing her mother one last time, Angela felt a pain so all-consuming

that she could not register anything else going on around her. She hyperventilated as disbelief and

panic coursed through her, and suddenly, everything went dark, and she fell backward.

Trevor, who was closest to her, caught her before she fell. “Mr. Richard, she fainted!” he cried out in

alarm.
