Chapter 182 A Critical Time (1/2)

The chopsticks were put down on the table and Jean began to wring her hands helplessly. With lips quivering she tried to say, ”But I have been looking at him all this while. Apart from his slight breath, no other signs show that he is still alive. Zed, it is I who made him suffer. If it were not for my carelessness, he would have been fine right now...”

It took Jean a great deal of strength to finish her sentence. Right after, her shoulders shook with grief as she buried her face in her hands.

”What nonsense are you saying?” The very sight of Jean crying pierced Zed's heart. With an excited breath, he said, ”This is not all your fault. If he had walked by paying more attention to the traffic, such a serious traffic accident would not have happened.”

Zed's consolation wasn't hollow. He said this after he had done due diligence through his secretary who went to the police station to know the complete details of the accident.

As Jean's car sped towards Moore, he was busy answering a phone call. Unaware of his surroundings, he crossed the street when the signal for pedestrians was red-lit.

Therefore, technically, both Jean and Moore were equally accountable for the accident.

Though, what turned the law against Jean's favour was that she hit Moore. Worse still he was an overseas Chinese, which made a stronger set of laws protect him.

”It is not Moore's fault...” Jean shook her head and choked through tears.

Her guilt was gnawing her from the inside. If she could, she would lie in place of Moore in the ICU. The wait for Moore to wake up was a slow torture for her.

”It will be fine. You must not think about this too much. There are still fifteen hours for Moore to wake up, right? It will be alright. God can feel your kindness and purity, so he will help wake Moore up.” Zed knew that if he continued to say anymore, Jean's sorrow would become deeper. So he tried to comfort her by placing his arm around her petite frame.

Jean knew that Zed was well meaning. She wiped her tears and said, ”I have no appetite to eat. And you also have been busy dealing with this matter the whole day. You'd better go back home to have a good rest.”

”Won't you come home with me?” Zed couldn't extract himself away from her. He asked her without hesitation.
