After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 Manuel Had an Accident

Hannah got out of the room hastily. Oscar watched her back and called Theodore.

"I think we're not under suspicion." Theodore said bluntly, thinking that Oscar was gonna ask him whether those guys who had followed them in the day time had suspected them.

"You've been wandering around with Hannah for a whole day and looked nothing's wrong with you. So, I bet we're off the hook now. And those guys are gone."

"OK." Oscar said and then added, "Go find out what happened to Manuel."

"What's wrong?" Theodore frowned.

"It might have something to do with Susan. Go check out and let me know."

"OK." Theodore hung up the phone directly. He knew that Manuel would definitely get killed one day because of Susan.

Hannah called Jimmy, who lived not far away from their house. Normally, he was on call 24/7.

She hated to bother Jimmy late at night but was afraid of going out alone considering what she had gone through recently. She got in the car and called Susan.

"Hannah." Susan heard her voice and felt she would freak out any time, "Are you on the way?"

"I'll be right there. Did you call 911?"

"I did. They said they would be right here." Susan said in tears, "What if Manuel dies? Will I be executed by shooting if he dies?"

She was still in the mood of thinking of herself, which meant that she didn't feel that bad.

"No, you won't. Wait for the ambulance. Stay cool!" said Hannah.

"Hmm." Susan nodded.

Hannah put down the phone and told Jimmy, "Jimmy, please speed up."

"OK." Jimmy said it and stepped on the gas without hesitation. It made Hannah feel that he was more anxious than her.

Very soon, the car arrived at the site of the accident.

Hannah got off hastily. The ambulance had arrived by then and they carried the man with blood all over to the vehicle. Hannah ran over to Susan, dragged her and went to the city hospital together in the ambulance.

Susan was sitting in the ambulance, trembling all over, and looked a little messy with Manuel's blood on her.

Hannah held her hand tightly and comforted, "Manuel will be fine. Trust me!"

She knew Manuel would survive, but she was still scared when seeing him stained with blood all over and looking so weak.

Susan nodded and cried at the same time. Probably, she had been scared out.

The ambulance arrived at the hospital shortly. Some medical workers had been waiting at the gate of the hospital. They carried Manuel out of the ambulance, put him on a hospital bed and wheeled him to the ER as fast as possible.

Hannah and Susan followed up, too.

"Ah!" Susan fell over suddenly. She was wearing high-heels and running too fast, so she fell down on her face. Hannah squat down to hold her and asked with concern, "Are you OK?"

Susan cried harder and choked with sobs, "It hurts a lot..."

"Watch out." Hannah said helplessly, "It won't help if you freak out."

Susan bit her lips hard and felt really bad, saying that she hated Manuel and Justine a lot, but actually she couldn't bear to do anything to hurt them. All in all, her bark was worse than her bite. She had a soft heart. She must feel terribly guilty for Manuel since he had the accident because of her.

"Can you stand up?"

Susan nodded. Then Hannah helped her stand up and limped towards the door of the ER, which Manuel had already been sent in.

"Hannah, tell me. Will Manuel die?" Susan stared at the light in the ER and asked with a shaking voice. She thought it was frightening both inside and outside of the ER.

"Isn't it what you want?" asked Hannah. She wasn't worried because she knew Manuel would be fine in the end.

Susan was frozen and said slowly, "But I'm afraid that I'll die, too."

Hannah was speechless to hear it, then she changed the topic, "What happened tonight? Why were you with Manuel? You don't like him, do you?"

Susan remained silent. In fact, Hannah knew why though Susan didn't tell her. She knew it in the previous life that Susan went out for fun in the night club tonight. She was getting married in a week, so she made the best of every day to go bar-hopping and had a blast almost every night. When she was enjoying herself, Manuel suddenly called her, saying that he wanna talk to her face to face.

At first, Susan didn't want to go see him but she decided to give Manuel one more chance. She was gonna make herself clear and make him stop loving her since she was getting married soon and getting rid of him completely.

Thinking of it, Susan had arrived at the place which Manuel had told her.

"Susan, please don't marry Henry." Manuel said.

Honestly speaking, she was annoyed and wanted to turn around to leave. But now that she was there to make herself clear, she held back the disgust and said, "You want me to marry you if I don't marry Henry?"

"If..."

"There's no if!" Susan interrupted him abruptly, "I don't love you at all. Don't think I have a crush on you because I kissed you! Don't get me wrong. Frankly speaking, we were teens back then and were curious about love, and longed for something beautiful. I must admit that you're a looker. I think I've also been attracted by your pretty face and lost myself in your charm. That was why I couldn't help it and did something stupid."

Manuel listened to Susan's sarcastic words and didn't say anything to retort.

"I thought you saw everything that I've done these years." Susan said, "I hate you already. Just don't make me hate you eve more."

Actually, Manuel knew Susan didn't like him. He thought she even felt disgusted with him.

At first, he'd made up his mind to give up and wished them a happy marriage. Then he would disappear from Susan's life. As time passed by, he would finally forget her one day.

But he regretted it and changed his mind now. He tried to stop her from marrying Henry since the wedding was a week later. He thought he must be a disgusting and gross man in Susan's eyes.

In fact, Susan didn't feel like wasting her breath with Manuel again. She felt nothing for Manuel. Or she was only a little touched. Anyway, Manuel was really good to her.

He was so good to her that she sometimes would think Manuel really felt that way about her. But she'd rather believe that Manuel did that to please her so that he could keep a foothold in the Phillips family.

Deep in her heart, she'd never tried to accept Manuel and his love. It was only an accident that she kissed him willingly that time, but she didn't love him.
