Elder Mr. Henderson froze for a long time and seemed to be displeased and just lowered his voice,
“What happened? What’s wrong?”
Clara forced back her tears and said, “Jakub got into a car accident. Hurry over!”
Elder Mr. Henderson was silent for a while and just hung up the phone.
Clara remained motionless and wiped away her tears which she didn’t know when had run out of her
eyes.
The doctor who was performing the emergency treatment suddenly said, “Something is wrong.”
Clara was terrified and immediately rushed over, “What’s wrong?”
The doctor was too swamped to answer her. Clara was then pulled away by a nurse who told her not to
influence the doctor.
Clara could barely stand up and leaned against the wall.
There were quite a lot of patients who were sent to the emergency room at this time and their relatives
were all crying and shrieking.
Clara was feeling dizzy.
Jakub was the sincerest one to her in the whole Henderson Family.
Clara was not a fool and knew what elder Mr. Henderson and old Mr. Henderson were up to.
Family love in this kind of family was never pure and interests were always factored in,
Elder Mr. Henderson and old Mr. Henderson both wanted her to find a reliable man to assist her in the
future.
At the end of the day, they were considering this for the whole family.
Maybe it was because that Jakub hadn’t entered the society, he was still innocent.
He was genuinely sweet to Clara.
Clara had heard many times of him talking back to elder Mr. Henderson for her in private.
He told elder Mr. Henderson not to scheme her and said that his knew how to live his own life and
didn’t need other people to pave the way for him.
He also wanted to Clara to lead a carefree life and knew that she was not happy.
Recalling this, Clara covered her face and started sobbing.
Elder Mr. Henderson rushed to the hospital in a while and was obviously worried.
But Jakub’s emergency treatment wasn’t over yet and from the doctors’ conversations, Clara learned
that Jakub seemed to have had some kind of medicine before the car accident.
Elder Mr. Henderson could hardly contain himself and yelled to the doctors to rescue Jakub or he
would let them suffer.
Clara went to pull elder Mr. Henderson’s arm and said, “Dad, let’s go out first. Don’t influence the
doctors.”
Elder Mr. Henderson was clearly worried sick and suddenly slapped Clara on the face, “You just don’t
want your brother to be safe and sound, right?”
Clara instantly froze.
She covered her face and started at elder Mr. Henderson.
Face distorted, he yelled, “I warn you. Don’t be too cocky. Even if something does happen to your
brother, you won’t be able to get a single share of family assets. I would rather give all that money to
your uncles. You piece of shit. It’s your brother who is lying inside that room and how dare you to be
gloating?”
Clara frowned, “I’m not gloating!”
Elder Mr. Henderson just ignored Clara’s words and turned back to those doctors and sounded
threatening, “If my son cannot be rescued here, you all would sure to be punished. I wouldn’t spare
anyone.”
The nurse hurriedly called the security.
Clara wiped her tears and went out.
The bench outside the emergency room was crowded with family members of patients.
They were sure terrified and worried, but they were still sensible enough to wait outside for the result.
Elder Mr. Henderson was the only one who was causing a scene inside and getting in the way of
doctors’ work.
Clara stepped aside and leaned against the wall.
She can feel the throbbing pain in her brain and the pounding of temples.
The security staff hurriedly came over and it took three people to bring elder Mr. Henderson under
control.
They then took him outside and Clara didn’t even look at him when he passed by.
Patients were then wheeled out of the emergency rooms one by one. Some of them were transferred
into intensive care units or the general wards.
They were relatively safe for the moment.
Clara compressed her lips and was praying that Jakub would also be like that.
The doctor who was performing the surgery then came out in a while and Clara hurriedly asked him
how was Jakub.
Wearing the mask, the doctor stared at Clara for a long time and then said sorry lightly.
Clara blinked her eyes, “Is he going to be transferred into the intensive care unit? It’s okay. I will pay
the fee right now.”
The doctor sighed, “I’m sorry. We weren’t able to bring him back. His car accident injuries aren’t fatal,
but he seemed to have taken the pesticides beforehand, but we have to take some tests to be sure.”
Clara froze, “Pesticides?”
The doctor then asked, “Does the patient have some sort of mental disease? Depression for example.”
He the paused a bit and explained, “While we were performing the surgery for him, he was conscious
for a moment and said that he was too tired and didn’t want to live anymore.”
Clara paused, “Depression...”
She shook her head, “No, no. It can’t be. He is quite fit. There is no way that he wouldn’t want to live
anymore. How can it be...”
But then she just burst into tears.
Actually, she knew that something was wrong with Jakub for a long time. All of his behaviors were
clearly signals asking for help.
But they all ignored him.
He said that he was tired and wasn’t happy, but no one took it seriously.
All they did was to sign him up for cramming schools and forced him to be excellent and outstanding.
He said he wanted to take a rest, but they just thought that he was whining and didn’t pay heed to him.
Clara cried uncontrollably.
The doctor said that Jakub’s body would be moved to the morgue in a while and he would let them
know when the analysis of the residues in his stomach came out.
The doctor was quite busy and just left after telling her all this.
Clara leaned against the wall and just slowly collapsed.
After elder Mr. Henderson was taken out, he seemed to have got some fresh air and was clear-minded
now.
He pushed the security staff away and said, “Don’t touch me. I’ll just wait here.”
The security didn’t want to make a scene for there were many people around and just let him go, but
they were still worried and watched him closely.
Clara went out in a while and had spaced out.
Elder Mr. Henderson immediately charged towards her, “What happened? How is your brother?”
The half of Clara’s face was swollen and gum was still numb.
She looked up and answered, “Jakub probably committed suicide. He had pesticides beforehand.”
“Bullshit!” Elder Mr. Henderson shouted, “What suicide? No fucking way! The company would be his
one day. How can he be willing to die?”
His eyes changed then.
Clara knew what he was thinking about.
She had fought with him several days ago because of Jakub.
It wasn’t actually for some serious matters. She just felt that they had put too much pressure on Jakub.
She persuaded elder Mr. Henderson to give Jakub some freedom.
But elder Mr. Henderson must have taken it wrong and thought that she just didn’t want Jakub to take
over the company in the future.
