Chapter 454 Drink Driving “It’s up to you to decide, Elisa. Both of us are impressed with you. Who will you choose in the end?” A mysterious smile tugged at Will’s lips. His eyes were filled with elation that Elisa had never seen before.

Elisa squeezed a faint smile and said, “You’re asking the obvious.”

Will smiled. “I just wish to hear more words of affirmation from you, just like...” He drew closer to Elisa and softened his tone.

“Just like what you told the other person on the phone just now.”

Elisa’s expression changed as she kept a distance from Will. Noticing that the light in Linda’s car had switched off and they were leaving the car park, she quickly said, “They’re leaving already. I should head back too.”

“I’ll give you a ride.”

After ensuring that Linda’s car had left, Elisa opened the car door immediately and said, “It’s okay. My car is here.” With that, she got out of the car while Will did not stop her. Seeing that she was striding away, he blurted, “I’ll pick you up at your office tomorrow at noon.”

Elisa stopped and turned to glance at Will speechlessly. “Mr. Darcey, could you possibly be more high profile?”

The grin on Will’s face widened as he became more lighthearted. “I see, so you prefer me to be more high profile. You’ll see it tomorrow at noon then.”

Elisa freaked out, worrying that Will would do some horrible things. “Please don’t act recklessly. Goodbye now, and please don’t come and find me tomorrow!”

She didn’t want to continue talking to Will, so she strode to her car and left after starting the engine. The whole process was swift and resolute.

Will narrowed his eyes as he watched Elisa drive away skillfully. It’s rare for a woman to have such good driving skills. She never fails to surprise me. Will sighed as he wondered how much longer till he wins Elisa’s heart.

...

When Elisa arrived home, it was already 9 P.M. Before she could change into her home slippers, her phone rang, and she was surprised to see Sheena’s incoming caller ID.

“Hey, Sheen.” Elisa answered the call.

“Carle had an accident!”

The expression on Elisa’s face changed all of a sudden with her pupils constricted. “Where is he?”

“Central Hospital. Come quickly!” Besides the worry that tinged Sheena’s voice, Elisa sensed her anger too. Elisa’s countenance turned pale. Did my words just now agitate him?

Without wasting more time, she dashed out of the house. She sped all the way and reached the hospital in no time. Then, she called Sheena and found their exact location.

Besides Sheena, there were a few other young men standing in the corridor who looked around their age. Elisa reckoned these were the friends who were with Carle just now.

Walking up to Sheena, Elisa suppressed her anxiety and asked, “What exactly happened?”

The moment she said that, the sound of running footsteps came forth from the other end of the corridor. The crowd turned to see Rachel running over while panting. Looking panicked, she gasped, “What happened? How did Carle get into an accident out of the blue?”

Elisa’s expression turned ghastly. “He drove?!”

Drink driving?! Someone quickly explained, “No, he didn’t drive. He was hit by a car while walking.”

Elisa staggered and was at a loss for words. The next second, Sheena grasped her right wrist furiously.
