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 multiple-vehicle collision had occurred on Stoughton Overpass at 8:05AM. A truck driver who was driving under the influence of alcohol had caused the accident that left 12 victims injured. A few ambulances from the nearest hospital, Melrose City Hospital, have already arrived at the scene.”

Courtney had just finished cleaning the dirty dishes when she heard the voice coming from the television. Feeling her heart skip a beat, she quickly took off her apron and wiped her hands dry. That was when her phone rang.

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

The first batches of ambulances were already at the hospital’s entrance when Courtney arrived. Without even changing into the proper attire, she immediately stepped forward and pushed a patient into the emergency room.

“A steel bar punctured the left chest. Prepare an x-ray to check the extent of the damage. And inform Chief Lawson from the thoracic department to come here.”
