Chapter 604
Was he hiding something?
She picked up her cell phone and immediately started tracing the call to find out his location.
Half an hour later, Nora paused when she saw Charles’ location. She stood up, rushed out of the house, and drove straight to the hospital.
That’s right.
Charles was in the hospital!
After Nora rushed to the hospital and got out of the car, she immediately saw a group of nurses and doctors moving about in a hurry and busy at work. Ambulances arrived at the entrance of the hospital one after another.
A lot of people in white lab coats were anxiously giving first aid to the victims being carried out of the ambulances.
Their white clothes were dyed red, and some of the victims’ blood had wet the white sheets, forming a shocking and harrowing sight.
All the non-urgent passages in the hospital had been closed, and all the doctors had rushed over to deal with the victims of the traffic accident.
Nora stood at the door and looked at her busy colleagues. She heard a doctor approaching and asking, “What happened?”
“Sigh, it’s a long story. A bus got into a traffic accident. All fifty-odd people in the bus are injured!”
“Really? How did this happen all of a sudden? I’ll take over the patient here, you can take care of the one over there …”
Although the doctors were flustered, they dealt with the victims in an orderly manner. The other patients also wisely stepped aside.
When a real disaster occurred, everyone knew that life was more important than anything else.
Beep, beep, beep… A medical instrument started sounding a warning beep. Nora looked to the side and saw that an unsupervised victim had suddenly gone into shock.
Upon hearing the warning beep, a panicked nurse shouted, “Where is Dr. Wilson? Where is Dr. Wilson?”
“A patient went into cardiac arrest just now, Dr. Wilson has gone over!”
The nurse was in a huge panic. “This patient has gone into shock! What do we do now?”
Nora rushed over subconsciously. She was wearing a black shirt. She took a white lab coat from the side and put it on. Then, she walked over to the nurse and said, “Let me do it!”
“You? Who are you?”
The nurse looked at her dubiously. “Are you a doctor?”
Nora’s one-liner made the nurse shut up: “I am Anti.”
The name Anti was most definitely a regal existence for people in the medical industry.
Therefore, a look of joy came over the nurse’s face at once. “What should we do about this patient?”
Nora took a look at the patient and immediately instructed, “Start CPR at once. Inject 5ml of…”
Perhaps because her voice was simply too calm and collected, the nurse gradually calmed down. Under her orders, she began to perform CPR on the patient.
What came after that was a slew of first aid measures. At last, the patient’s heartbeat returned to normal. Nora touched his abdomen and said, “The patient has internal bleeding. Send him for surgery at once!”
“Yes, doctor!”
Patients typically needed to go for X-raysand on top of that, it wasn’t even known which part of the body required X-raysbefore they could receive treatment. In the process of finding the cause of their illness, they ended up missing the most optimal treatment time.
However, with just a casual touch, Nora had figured out the cause of the patient’s condition, thereby speeding up the rescue process. This also saved them a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After the first aid was completed, the people outside gradually dispersed.
Most of the patients had also been categorized. Patients with minor or moderate injuries were currently resting in the corridor outside due to a lack of beds.
As for patients with serious injuries, they had been pushed into the operating rooms.
There were enough doctors in the hospital. Thus, after the initial panic, the order resumed and they started to provide medical treatment in an orderly manner.
Nora took off her mask and gloves, and then tossed the white lab coat into the room next door. When she looked around, she noticed a man standing at the door to the operating room. He was talking to a nurse excitedly. “I’m so excited. Oh my god, I’m so lucky. Really, I’m really too lucky… This is a whole bus of people we’re talking about. The bus even rolled over, and everyone is injured, but not me! Look at me, I didn’t even get a scratch!”
The nurse said, “… Yes, okay, sir, we understand, but I’d still suggest that you have a full-body examination done. After all, there could still be many internal injuries.”
The man patted his chest. “No way, I really am fine! There’s nothing wrong with me at all! Look at me, look at how energetic I am! I am the luckiest person on earth!”
As the man spoke, he began to turn on the spot.
Nora had initially taken notice of the man because of his behavior, but the very moment he turned around, Nora suddenly froze.
Because… there was a mole on the side of the man’s face, and there was even a strand of hair on the mole!
When one connected this to the reason why Nora had come to the hospital…
She narrowed her eyes. Suddenly, she took a step forward and patted the man on the shoulder.
The man turned around.
Nora narrowed her eyes and stared at him. “What a coincidence, Charles.”
Charles was stunned. Then, he said excitedly, “You know me? Young missy, how come you know me? How did you know my name is Charles? Haha, do you know? I was really lucky today. The bus overturned, and everyone in it was injured, but I didn’t suffer even a scratch. I must have saved the world in my previous life!”
For the fifty-year-old to say such things, Nora couldn’t help but find it rather odd. Many older people, even if they surfed the Internet a lot, rarely said such things in real life.
She frowned. “Do you know who I am?”
Charles didn’t seem surprised at all. “It doesn’t matter who you are. Isn’t what matters the fact that I dodged the bullet today? Do you know how dangerous it was? The bus’ brakes had suddenly failed and it was rushing straight toward a mountain in front of us, you know! The woman in front of me was screaming the whole time in fear, and even I thought that I was dead meat. But unexpectedly, even though the bus overturned, I turned out fine!”
Nora frowned upon hearing his description of what had happened. “How are you okay?”
Charles replied, “I don’t know. I was just very fortunate. The bus overturned and quite a few people died on the spot. Did you see? You don’t even have to try saving a few of those people who were pushed in just now… Sigh, do you know?”
His expression turned a little nostalgic. “I am actually not a good person. Of course, I am not a bad person either. I just did some bad things back in the day and helped some bad people in the past. Over the years, I have been devoting myself to God. And look! Results are showing! God must have been watching over me this time, that’s why I managed to escape….”
The more he talked, the more excited he became. He actually looked a little like he was going to cry bitterly. He said, “After I go back, I must be even more pious. I shall donate all my money to the church!”
None of the other nurses were paying attention to him. In addition, seemingly because he had met Nora, someone who was willing to listen, he was very excited.
Nora looked at him in silence.
No wonder Jessica had said he was a lunatic. There was indeed something wrong with his mental health, and he seemed crazy.
She lowered her eyes and slowly asked, “How much money do you have?”
The man suddenly lowered his voice, but it seemed like he couldn’t quite control his volume. Thus, even though he had lowered his voice, he was actually still very loud. He said, “Don’t be fooled by my ordinary clothes. I am no ordinary man! I have a lot of money! I used to work for a very impressive person. More than twenty years ago, she even paid me up to $15,000 a month!
“$15,000 a month, you know! Do you know how much $15,000 was worth over twenty years ago? It was worth even more than $150,000 today! I was really basking in the limelight back then!”
Charles seemed caught in his memories. He said, “After that, I earned a whole lotta money, but I didn’t dare to spend it. I would’ve felt guilty if I were to spend that money…”
He burst into tears and said, “I have five million dollars, but I hid the cash at home. I didn’t dare to spend it, you know? But after this accident, I’ve sorted out my thoughts. You know how a person would have epiphanies at near-death moments? Why didn’t I dare to spend that money? All that money belongs to me!”
Nora frowned.
Even if her mother had given him $15,000 a month, that would only amount to $180,000 a year. For him to have five million dollars, he would have had to work for thirty years! Yet! As far as she knew, after her mother passed away, she hadn’t given those three people any more money.
So, how would Charles possibly have five million dollars in cash?!
Also, why was he saying that he dared not spend the money? Where had that money… come from? Were they benefit that her mother had given these people, who had worked under her for years?
But if that was the case, why didn’t Old Maddy receive any?
She frowned and asked, “Who gave you the money?”
Charles glanced at her and then chuckled. “I can’t tell you that, young missy, I can’t. I went against my conscience for that money, so I can’t tell you… Sigh!”
He went against his conscience for that money…
Nora narrowed her eyes.
At this moment, the family members of the victims had all reached the hospital. Some rushed over to the operating rooms while some rushed over to the bodies of the people, who had been pronounced dead, and started to cry bitterly.
All of a sudden, the hospital became a mess again.
When Nora was about to ask Charles about something, a voice came over. “Charles, are you okay?”
She turned to see a fifty-year-old man approaching them. He was standing in front of Charles and looking him up and down. “You don’t have any family, so they called me instead!”
Charles replied, “What can happen to me? I’m fine, I’m totally fine! Bro, let me tell you, I was really very lucky today…” Charles then started to recount in detail again what had happened that day.
Nora: “…”
The man was seriously neurotic.
She rolled her eyes and walked up to the two of them. Just when she was about to ask something, Charles’s friend suddenly said, “Okay, okay, I get it. I know you went through life and death today, you are soooo lucky. But why are you suddenly so chatty?”
Nora paused and looked at the two men abruptly.
Charles was still babbling on and on neurotically. “Because I’m agitated and excited. I thought I could only be a stevedore for the rest of my life. Did you know? I thought that I didn’t deserve happiness anymore. I thought I could only be like you for the rest of my life, only be a laborer!”
His friend’s expression changed. “What do you mean by that? Who are you looking down
on?”
