The accident happened just like that. Before Sharon could react, her knees went soft, and she almost kneeled to the ground.
"Sadie!"
She let out a cry as her heart was surrounded by fear and she quickly ran toward the scene.
Ariah took Seamus and followed after her. Propping her body that was on the verge of collapse, Ariah looked very serious as well. Then, she shouted at Jimmy, who was still on the phone, "Jimmy, come over here!"
Jimmy heard her voice and looked over, then his expression changed as well. Instantly, he hung up the phone and called the police and ambulance as he ran towards the scene.
"Get out of the way!" He pushed the onlookers away and saw that the train had been detached by the impact.
Shocked, he strode over and found Stanley lying on the ground. Sadie, on the other hand, was well protected by him and thus wasn't hurt at all.
Sadie looked confused though. She didn't know what was going on and her mother picked her up from the ground.
Sharon hugged her daughter tightly.
Curling up in her arms, Sadie timidly called out to her.
"Don't worry, baby!" Sharon carried Sadie in her arms as tears dripping down her face.
On the other hand, Stanley, who was lying on the ground, remained motionless. Jimmy didn't know where Stanley was hurt, so he didn't dare to move him. Just as he was worried, Ariah cried out, "There's blood..."
Jimmy's face blackened as he saw the pool of blood under Stanley's body.
Sharon also spotted that and she almost passed out on the spot. Although her body was trembling in fear, she gritted her teeth hard and pleaded in a shaky tone, "Jim-Jimmy... please... save him!"
Hearing that, Jimmy gave Ariah a look, who then quickly held on to Sharon. Upon touching Sharon, Ariah realized that her body was cold and rigid, whereas her pale face had scared Sadie to the point that she started crying.
"Sharon, calm down!" Ariah patted her arm. "Relax a little. You're scaring Sadie!"
Finally, Sharon came back to her senses and looked at Sadie, whose eyes were already filled with tears, and immediately let go of her. "S-sorry, darling. I must have hurt you..."
Seeing that, Ariah carried Sadie over to Seamus, who was also a little frightened. "Seamus, take care of your sister. Don't be afraid. Your dad will be fine. The ambulance is coming soon, and your mom will be alright too."
Getting Ariah's enjoinment, although Seamus still looked bloodless, he nodded obediently. "Okay, I'll take care of her!"
"Good boy!" Ariah touched his face.
Soon, the ambulance and the police arrived. Because it was Jimmy who called, the officers were quite serious about the accident and even set up a crime scene tape.
Nevertheless, Jimmy didn't stay with his colleagues to investigate the scene. Instead, he went with Stanley to the hospital.
Outside the operating room- NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Seamus and Sadie were waiting on a bench. Leaning against her brother's shoulder, Sadie stared at the adults who were standing not far away anxiously, and she grew worried too.
"Seamus, will our dad die?" Sadie grabbed her brother's hand.
Hearing that, Seamus gave her a light squeeze on the hand. "No, he won't. The doctors will save him."
To be honest, the two kids didn't understand the meaning of death yet. They only heard it on the TV. However, when they saw how the adults reacted and what happened in the amusement park, they naturally got afraid.
As time passed, the surgery was still going on and Sharon stood rooted outside the room, looking fixedly at the door.
Jimmy and Ariah kept comforting her, but she didn't listen to a word.
Just now when Stanley was sent into the operating room with blood all over his body, Sharon somehow thought of the scene of him getting shot and falling into the river four years ago.
She was afraid that he would disappear again like last time.
After being parted from him for four years, she didn't want to experience it again.
Subconsciously, Sharon probably hadn't realized that all she wanted was for Stanley to be safe and sound, and the grudges were no longer important.
"Sharon, how are you doing?" Ariah saw her standing there for a long time with a pale face. "Don't worry too much. Stanley will be fine. It wasn't too big of an accident. He will survive. Trust me."
Jimmy followed immediately. "Exactly, back on the ambulance, the doctor had already helped him to stop the blood. It won't be too serious."
Despite that, Sharon still stood there without moving a bit.
Sighing, Ariah tried to change the subject. "I took the kids to do an examination just now. They both are fine. Sadie wasn't injured in the accident."
When it came to the children, Sharon finally reacted and thanked Ariah.
Ariah just said, "Thanks to Stanley. He used his own body to protect his daughter, so Saddie wasn't hurt a little. However, she's still frightened and will probably have nightmares."
While they were conversing, the door of the operating room was suddenly opened, and a doctor came out. Immediately, Jimmy asked, "How is it? Is he still alive?"
Ariah rolled her eyes at him, then asked, "Doctor, how's the patient?"
The doctor took off his mask and reassured with a smile, "He's all right. We will transfer him to the ward shortly."
Relieved, Sharon sighed and her body collapsed to the ground at the same time.
Ariah and Jimmy were startled and quickly went to help her up, to which Sharon waved her hand awkwardly and said, "I'm... fine."
She was just too excited and thus lost her footing suddenly.
Upon getting the doctor's permission, they went to Stanley's ward. He was lying in bed with his eyes closed. His head was wrapped in gauze, and his face was bloodless.
The two children were frightened when they saw this. They grabbed Sharon's hands tightly, especially Sadie, who looked like she almost cried. Seeing that, Jimmy's heart ached a little, and he carried the kids out, saying, "Let's go and buy something to eat. When Daddy wakes up, we'll come over."
Sadie put her arms around his neck and sobbed lightly, but nodded.
When he saw the pity look on her, Jimmy's heart grew soft.
Meanwhile, Stanley had a long dream, in which he returned to the time when he first met Sharon-he was brought to a basement that had a poor environment by Anthony.
There, he saw Sharon, who was thin and delicate. Her life seemed very fragile, but the determined look in her eyes shocked him.
He knew that her father could save his mother's life, which was why he was here, to ask if she agreed to let him take her father away.
However, when he looked into her bright, dark eyes, he said, "I can save your father, but you have to marry me."
