Chapter 4 Mister, Hang In There

Her original surname was Gienger. After she went to Gate City, she changed her surname to Bleu. Her name was now Eden Bleu. 

There was a loud crash.

She heard an ear-piercing car brake’s sound from the road ahead, followed by a loud crash.  

When the taxi driver braked, Eden was thrown forward. 

Eden slammed into the front seat. The impact made her head spin. 

"Miss, there seems to be an accident ahead, probably due to brake failure," said the taxi driver in the front seat.

Eden was in a daze while she glanced at the scene of the car accident. It was about six o'clock in the morning. There were very few cars on the highway.

Eden did not hesitate. She quickly opened the car door and got out of the car.

"Hey, Miss, you haven't paid yet!" The middle-aged taxi driver shouted at Eden, who was hurrying away. He did not seem very keen to get involved.

Eden frowned slightly as she took out the money from her backpack and handed it to the driver. Finally, she ran toward the scene of the car accident without turning back.

The taxi she had just taken whizzed past her.

She did not care when her white dress was blown up by the wind. Instead, she quickly took out her phone and made an emergency call.

The car involved in the accident was a limited edition luxury car. Eden walked over and tapped on the window.

"Mister, are you alright?" Through the car window, Eden saw a man lying on the steering wheel. Blood was dripping from his forehead, and the airbag had already popped out.

"Mister, mister..." Eden called him a few times, but the person inside the car still did not respond.

Eden reached out and pulled the car door and was surprised that it was unlocked. 

"Mister, are you alright?" Eden noticed the man lying on the steering wheel was still somewhat conscious. There was blood streaming from his head.  

"Mister, are you alright?" Eden helped him up and noticed that his forehead was still bleeding. The blood dripped down his cheeks and stained his expensive white shirt.

Eden was shocked by the glaring sight of the bright red blood.

She quickly rummaged through her backpack. Her hand tightened around a soft handkerchief. The picture printed on the handkerchief was her daughter’s award-winning painting. Eden made up her mind and pressed it against the wound on the man's forehead.

It was still early in the morning, and there were not many cars on the highway. Occasionally, some cars whizzed past them without stopping.

Eden was anxious and hoped that the ambulance would arrive soon.

She was just turning away. Suddenly, a hand gripped her arm tightly. 

Eden suddenly looked at the man. The man looked like he was suffering, and his face was covered with blood. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he did not say anything in the end.

"Mister, hang in there. The ambulance will arrive very soon."

Eden's hands were already stained with blood. She frowned slightly. They waited for about twenty minutes before the ambulance arrived. 

When the paramedics put him onto the stretcher, he still did not let go of her hand. Eden thought that she could take the ambulance back into the city, so she simply got onto the ambulance.

In a hospital in the River City, the man lay on the hospital bed in a ward, that was filled with the smell of disinfectant. The injury on his forehead was already treated. His injury was not serious. He had a slight concussion and got a few stitches on his forehead.

It was only then that Eden studied the man’s appearance. His fair skin looked pale and sickly. His facial features were well defined and angular, which made him look stern. His thick eyebrows, high nose bridge, and perfect lips shape made him look noble and regal. It was rare for a man to be so good-looking.

However, she seemed to have seen this handsome face before.
