Chapter 29 % Third Persons POV Let go of me ! Do you have any idea who I am ? Do you know who my boyfriend , Jason Reed , is ? Ava screamed , her voice cracking .
Unfortunately for her , the security guards werent phased in the slightest .
If anything , they picked up their pace .
Whos Jason ? Even if the King of Heaven shows up , he still has to follow the hospital rules ! one of the guards barked , clearly fed up .
Yeah , pretending to be sick every day and causing a scene .
Just get lost ! another guard added , his tone just as dismissive I stood there , arms crossed , a cold smile tugging at my lips as I watched Avas public meltdown .
There was a strange sense of satisfaction that washed over me , knowing how much she deserved this .
Just then , Chase walked over his steps calm and deliberate He came up beside me , gave me a slight smile , and said , Its all taken care of .
I raised an eyebrow , surprised .
When did you acquire this hospital ? Chases smile didnt falter .
The same day Jason was live streaming I blinked , a little stunned .
I hadnt expected him to move that fast .
But then again , with Chases resources , buying a hospital was probably as easy as picking up coffee .
Thank you , I said , genuinely grateful Dont mention it Chase said , his voice soft as he handed me a warm cup of milk tea .
I just didnt want you to feel wronged .
Ava was unceremoniously tossed onto the street by the guards , looking like a mess she lay there , trying to get herself together .
She reached for her phone , but when she tried to call Jason , she found that he had almady blocked her Passersby began to murmur , pointing in her direction .
Isnt that Ave ? The internet celebrity ? ng the illness Yeah , I heard she got kicked out of the hospital .
Guess she was faking Serves her right .
She was so arrogant before , now shes getting what she deserves .
I could hear them as I walked away , a small part of me relishing the moment On the drive back , though , a sudden , inexplicable chill crawled up my spine .
My palms started to sweat as I gripped the steering wheel , I couldnt explain why , but I had this gut feeling that something bad was coming 2 Without thinking .
I slammed on the brakes ..
Almost immediately , a huge truck barreled past me , swerving into the lane where I would have been .
The crash was deafening , the Impact ringing in my ears .
I sat frozen in the drivers seat , still shaking , my heart pounding .
If I hadnt reacted in time , I couldnt even imagine what mightve happened .
My hand instinctively went to my chest , and I noticed that the safety jade pendant I always wore had cracked slightly Chases voice broke through my dazed state as he pulled me into a tight hug .
Thank goodness youre okay , thank goodness youre okay … he repeated over and over , his voice almost frantic.2 I gently patted his back , trying to calm him .
Its okay , Im fine .
Dont worry But deep down , I knew this wasnt just an accident .
The timing of that truck , the speed it all felt off .
It had been too intentional , too fast .
Someone had clearly been targeting me .
Meanwhile , back at the station , Jason , still detained , was flipping out when he heard Id al Emma , I was wrong , I was really wrong ! I didnt expect Ava to be so vicious , Id almost it been in a car accident Just then , my phone buzzed twice .
