The front desk lady was half-convinced, thinking it was a prank, but afraid it was the truth.
If it was the president's wife who had a traffic accident and she didn't inform in time, the president's anger wouldn't be something she could bear.
After much thought, she still called the president's office.
Jack was also astonished when he heard the news.
Just half an hour earlier, Vivian had left the president's office with a smile.
Just as the secretary was hesitating whether to tell Raymond or not, Raymond came out. Seeing her pacing back and forth at the door, he spoke unhappily:
"What's wrong?"
"No... Nothing? Jack was still hesitating and had not made up his mind.
"Speak." Raymond had no patience to watch Jack keep him in suspense. He was in a bad mood at the moment.
Jack was startled by one of Raymond's words and knew that it was a sign of Raymond's impatience. He could no longer hide it and hurriedly said:
"President, the first hospital of Frances City has called to say that the lady has had a car accident and is rescuing you to see if you need to come over." After saying this, Jack finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What?" " Raymond's eyes darkened. "Are you sure?"
"No, no, no... It's not too late yet." Raymond's aura is so overwhelming that even after following him for many years, Jack's tongue is now a bit stiff.
Just as Jack felt that Raymond's eyes were about to strangle him, the pressure suddenly dropped.
"Deduct a month's bonus and report to the finance department yourself." Raymond spat out a few words and strode out.
Jack watched Raymond walk away as if he were indulging in an amnesty. Fortunately, fortunately, her hesitation didn't cause too much of a consequence.
Raymond was sitting in the elevator and calling Vivian.
In a few seconds, the call was connected, and before he could speak, the other person had already spoken:
"Is this Miss Vivian's family member, please?"
"Yes."
"This is the emergency department of First People's Hospital. Mrs. Steven is not in good condition at the moment. Please come here as soon as possible."
"Um." Raymond frowned slightly, with little change on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he cared about Vivian's injury.
It was as if the news was like a small stone falling into the sea to him, causing almost no waves.
Except that the phone was almost deformed by him.
By the time Raymond arrived at the hospital, Vivian had already completed her emergency treatment.
"How is Vivian?" He asked coldly to the nurse coming out of the ward.
The nurse saw the man in front of her, who was like an emperor, and couldn't take her eyes off him for a long time. He seemed to shine with his own light. Just standing here with his lips slightly open, everything around him had already dimmed.
There was a look of disgust in Raymond's eyes. He wouldn't have spoken to such a woman who was prone to infatuation if he hadn't needed to hear from Vivian.
"How is she?"
The nurse was brought back to reality by Raymond's cold question. In just a few seconds, she felt that the man was like ice that had been frozen for ten thousand years, almost freezing to death.
"She, she's nothing serious, just a mild concussion, mentally frightened." The nurse replied feebly.
Raymond hummed and was ready to go and see Vivian.
But the nurse, though she had finished speaking, still stood at the entrance of the ward and refused to leave.
"Get out of the way." His cold words were full of malice.
"Yes... Sorry, sorry." The nurse was so flustered that she nearly knocked over the treatment tray she was holding in her hand.
Vivian was awake at the moment, but her mind was still in a daze, and whenever she thought of the moment it happened, she was terrified, with severe headaches and dizziness.
Although she was not entertained at House of Johnson, she was a rich young lady and had servants taking care of her on ordinary days, so she rarely had a cold or a fever, let alone an accident like today.
Vivian was in a state of unease, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, her pale little face, her slightly quivering lips, and it was not hard to tell that she was really in a panic.
When Raymond entered the ward, the first thing he saw was Vivian lying on the hospital bed, lifeless, without the slightest sharpness of her usual life.
She was really shocked this time. She had never been so close to death since childhood.
That feeling...
"Vivian."
Seeing her like this, Raymond subconsciously lowered his tone when he called her.
The cold, familiar voice reached Vivian's mind, and she finally came to her senses.
Looking dazzlingly at the speaker, there was something flashing before her eyes as if... It's like when you're hit.
That dreadful feeling is back!
Vivian suddenly became anxious and began to struggle as if she wanted to avoid something, to shout something, and her mind was completely in a mess.
Seeing Vivian's abnormality, Raymond took a quick step forward and pressed her hand with the infusion tube.
"Don't move, close your eyes and have a good rest."
Vivian actually calmed down. It was Raymond.
There was a hint of worry in Raymond's voice, deep and steady.
Vivian knew she shouldn't rely on it, but for the first time in her life she was so close to death that she couldn't restrain her instincts at all.
She clung tightly to his big hand, as if she were about to drown alone in the deep sea, with fear and unease, only this man could be relied on.
"Vivian." Raymond called again, and saw that she was gradually calming down before he felt relieved.
He looked closely at Vivian, and fortunately, there was only a slight scratch on her forehead.
Vivian, suppressing her throbbing stomach, groped her way and whispered, "Raymond, I'm fine."
It was her sanity that returned, and she let go of him almost immediately.
Her reply made Raymond look much better, but her action made him blush again.
Despite Vivian's reflexive struggle, Raymond grabbed her hand instead to prevent her from moving around.
From entering the ward until now, he has only called her name twice, but it has brought Vivian unparalleled peace of mind.
He didn't let go of Vivian until she had calmed down and looked relaxed.
Vivian calmed down, "Raymond!" Fear and grievance were still hidden in the words.
Raymond's black gem-like, shining eyes looked straight into Vivian's face as he bent down and moved closer to her.
Even at this moment, Raymond remained expressionless.
"Have a good rest... Vivian, remember that you're House of Steven's man and there's no need to be afraid."
Vivian looked at him, feeling that the world was truly amazing.
Not long ago, the words "You are House of Steven" had brought her endless humiliation and coldness.
But now it was the same six words that made her feel as if she had found a safe haven and could close her eyes with peace of mind.
Yes, she was the House of Steven, the House of Steven's wife, Raymond's wife.
She has to do the duty of a wife for Raymond, and she can also enjoy Raymond's protection.
She is a House of Steven.
