Chapter 103 A Sudden Accident âJoeâ¦â
Being humiliated in public, Wendy felt deeply resentful. She looked at Joe with a sense of grievance, but his gaze remained fixed on Charlotteâs retreating figure.
It felt like a resounding slap on Wendyâs face.
Her eyes filled with resentment as she stared in the direction Charlotte had left. She couldnât take it anymore!
Joe hadnât noticed her unusual behavior.
In that split second, an odd sensation gripped his heart. He felt that if he didnât follow Charlotte, he would regret it later.
With that thought, Joe also walked quickly with a gloomy expression.
Charlotteâs heart raced as she ran, eventually flinging her high heels aside and continuing barefoot.
She rushed to the garden area, where she saw Ben lying on the ground with closed eyes. Anna was crying by his side, breathless. Danny, who should have been with them, was nowhere to be found.
Trembling, Charlotte hurriedly approached, half-kneeling on the ground to check on Benâs condition.
At that moment, Benâs eyes were tightly shut, his face and hands scraped, with bloodstains on the ground beneath him, indicating bleeding from somewhere.
Charlotte dared not move him recklessly. With a tremor in her voice, she called his name, trying to awaken him, and she cradled Anna in her arms.
Ben didnât respond. Then David arrived and covered him with his suit jacket, furrowing his brows as he looked at Joe. âYouâ¦â
âThe doctor is on the way,â Joeâs voice was deep, his gaze fixed on Ben.
Charlotte took a deep breath, suppressing her anxiety, and asked Anna in a gentle voice, âAnna, donât be afraid. Tell Mommy what happened.â
Anna cried, her face turning red, and it took her a while to catch her breath. She said in a broken and intermittent voice, âBen fell down the stairs! He fell from such a high place⦠and thereâs so much blood⦠Please save him! Mommy, I donât want Ben to die!â
Hearing Annaâs helpless voice, Charlotte was nearly overwhelmed by regret. Why had she thought the banquet hall was safe without watching them all the way?
Mrs. Lucky Johnson, who had rushed over, was also shocked. She asked urgently, âHow did this happen? Whereâs Danny?â
When Anna heard Dannyâs name, she suddenly hid in Charlotteâs embrace, âHe pushed Ben! He pushed Ben!â
The people present changed their expressions as soon as those words were spoken.
Mr. Goergie Johnson raised his eyebrows, âAnna is still young. She is talking nonsense. How could Danny possibly push Ben?â
Annaâs already nervous emotions gradually collapsed, and she burst into loud sobs. âI didnât lie. Danny indeed pushed Ben!â
Seeing the little child cry hard, Joe spoke before Charlotte, âSheâs just a three-year-old child. Mr.
Goergie Johnson, is it necessary to doubt her honesty?â
Upon hearing this from Joe, Charlotteâs heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, at that moment, Anna hadnât heard Joeâs words clearly and didnât object either.
David also frowned. Danny seemed like a shy child; he shouldnât be capable of such an act.
In a gentle tone, David said, âAnna, could it be that you were too scared and misunderstood? How could Danny push Ben?â
Suspected by the trusted elder, Anna became even more distraught, crying uncontrollably.
Charlotte tried several times to comfort her with gentle words and finally managed to soothe her somewhat.
âAlthough my daughter is young, she will never lie. Letâs talk about the details after we find Danny.â
Charlotte said coldly.
Davidâs heart suddenly skipped a beat, and before he could explain, the doctor had arrived quickly.
