Chapter 315 That’s Not What I Meant
Once he was done with all the tasks on hand, he finally walked back to the ward.
When he reached the door, he received a call from Luther.
Byron stopped and answered the call with a frown. ” What is it? Have you found the driver?”
On the other end of the call, Luther looked very solemn as well. “Our men have checked all the
surveillance footage nearby, but the driver is hiding well. We can’t see his face clearly in any of them. We
have a few suspects, but we can’t be sure.”
Byron’s expression darkened slightly. “And what about the cops?”
His mother had said that the incident took place in broad daylight. How could the perpetrator be so hard
to find?
Luther’s tone was a little heavy. “It’s the same with the police. They took in all the suspects for
questioning, but I don’t think they’re the ones.”
Byron said in a low voice, “I see. Keep looking.”
Luther promised to do his best.
Byron’s expression was solemn as he hung up.
The incident had happened out in the open, yet his men still could not locate the perpetrator.
Luther seemed to imply that the man had planned this in advance, too. That was how he managed to
hide himself from all the cameras.
No matter how Byron looked at it, something was fishy here.
Just as he was frowning, deep in thought, the room door opened. Melody walked out and berated him
when she saw him standing there. “What took you so long? I even told the others I’d look for you. Come
on in!”
Byron kept his thoughts to himself and followed his mother into the room.
Wendy was lying in bed while her parents cared for her.
Her injury was actually pretty serious. It still hurt slightly after it was bandaged, and she was pale from
the pain.
She had been raised in comfort all her life. Such a wound was unprecedented for her.
She had really pulled out all the stops to win Melody’s trust this time.
Wendy broke out of her reverie when she saw Byron entering the room. Forcing a smile, she said,
“You’re back, Byron.”
Byron gave her a long look and nodded.
Wendy was about to continue when Byron suddenly said, “Did you see the face of the driver who
crashed into you?”
Wendy was caught off-guard, she hurriedly suppressed the panic rising in her heart and replied
nonchalantly, “It all happened so quickly. Auntie and I were so busy trying to survive that we didn’t have
the time to look at the driver.”
She turned even paler as she spoke, as though she was still shaken by the memory.
Melody concurred. “We were terrified, and it was so sudden, of course we didn’t try to look at the driver’s
face. By the time we realized what had happened, he had already made a run for it.”
Byron nodded slightly.
He was just asking on a whim. He did not actually think they would give him any useful information.
However, Wendy stared at him, looking hurt, she said self-deprecatingly, “You don’t think I planned this
whole thing, do you?”
Before Byron could say anything, Melody was already turning to him angrily. “You have no idea how
dangerous it was! Wendy would be crazy to plan something like that. Besides, she was the one who
asked the driver to apologize at the time. If she really was behind the accident, why would she have
asked him to show himself?”
Byron felt a headache coming on. “Calm down, Mom. That’s not what I meant. I was just asking.”
Melody was still determined to defend Wendy. “I’d rather you suspect me than Wendy! ”
She had personally experienced the terror of that moment, so she had nothing but faith in Wendy. Byron
nodded, but he still felt as though something somewhere was off.
