One Night Surprise

Chapter 466 It Reeked of Blood

“In today’s morning news, multiple accounts of car accidents have been recorded happening in and out of the city caused by obstructed vision due to heavy rain.

A few ambulances from the nearest hospital, Melrose City Hospital, have already arrived at the scene.”

“Understood. I will head straight to the emergency room.”
