Grant gently helped Bella into the backseat of his car just as Steven hurried over, out of breath.

"Ms. Bella! Are you okay?!"

Bella's expression was complex, but she forced a faint smile. "Don't worry, Steve. I'm fine."

"Ms. Thompson was nearly hit by a truck and fell on the same leg from her previous accident." Grant did not give her a chance to pretend to be strong and spoke frankly. "I'm worried her old injury might flare up, so I'm taking her to the hospital."

"How did this happen?" Steven's voice was heavy with guilt. "Ms. Bella, it's all my fault! I was negligent!"

"It's fine. It's an accident. It's not your fault," Bella said with a faint shake of her head, then turned to Grant. "Mr. Salvador, thank you for saving me. But my secretary can take me to the hospital. There's no need to trouble you further."
