Honey, You're a Billionaire?

At last, Anastasia was assisted out of her car. Nobody knew about their secret conversation, nor the truth about the "accident".

The crowd returned to the manor, while Dawn continued waiting further down the road. She repeatedly checked the time and confirmed that there was no activity at the end of the road. "I guess it's done!"

Lizzie should have already taken Rose in. Otherwise, the latter would've arrived by now. It was also about time Evan woke up as well. Indeed, he had.

When he awoke, the room was in darkness. He searched for his phone on the nightlight and wanted to check the time but couldn't find it.

As such, he quickly turned on the light and saw his phone, with the charger, on the ground. He remembered he had plugged it in before sleep...

Evan initially frowned but soon relaxed his brows. Perhaps he had accidentally knocked his phone over amid his deep sleep.

When he picked up his phone, he saw it had been switched off. By the time the phone regained its battery, he realized he had missed the hour for the shift change.

He hoped Rose wasn't too exhausted, so he quickly left. When he arrived at the ward, he saw Yvonne sleeping in a nurse's company.

"Where's Ms. Shaffer?" he asked softly.

"Ms. Shaffer left about an hour ago. She took a call and had an emergency I think."

Evan didn't think much about the emergency. What was strange was he hadn't seen Dawn since he woke up. After much contemplation, he called her but realized that he couldn't reach her.

Despite several attempts, it remained futile. Recalling the fight they had this morning, he frowned. "She must be mad at me," he thought.

He knew she wanted to proceed with the wedding. Despite knowing he was only marrying her out of responsibility, he still felt repelled by it. After dialing her number a few times, he gave up.

Sitting by the road, Dawn watched as her phone rang repeatedly. It was Evan, but she dared not answer. She was afraid that he would find out about her deeds or become worried about Rose upon discovering her disappearance. Hence, she pretended not to see his calls and decided to hold off until later.

By then, even if Evan found out about Rose, Lizzie would've achieved her goal, and Dawn would have a better excuse for her absence.

As she contemplated her next steps, a searing pain struck her stomach. She held her belly and gritted her teeth, brushing the pain off. However, the pain persisted. She couldn't help but feel anxious. "It's okay. It's probably nothing..." Dawn comforted herself.

The cold wind grazed her skin, sending chills down her spine. Faced with the increasing pain, she couldn't take it anymore and fished out her phone to call Evan.

"Hello?" Evan's voice sounded.

She was lethargic from the pain. Hearing his voice resembled a lifeline for her. "Evo, help... Help me..."

"Where are you? What happened?" Evan asked anxiously.

Dawn couldn't possibly recite to him what happened. After a momentary daze, she knew she had to keep up the act. Ultimately, she cried, "I don't know, Evo. I'm... I'm at Ebott Road. I don't know where I am exactly. Help me, Evo..."

As long as Evan traveled along Ebott Road, he would find her!

At Finch Manor, 1 Mount Ebott...

In the office of the healthcare building, the room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Rose was unconscious, having suffered a concussion. Despite the doctor assuring him that she was fine, Jonathan remained solemn. The people in the room dared not relax.

"Anastasia, what exactly happened? How did you crash into her?" Lizzie asked amid the haunting silence. That was a question that everyone in the room had. As such, she needed to explain. Anastasia had scrapes on her head. As if petrified from the "car accident", she seemed increasingly fearful and unstable when asked about the crash.

"It was all my fault... I didn't notice the oncoming car. If only I'd arrived earlier, this wouldn't have happened...

"It's just that, lately, I've been pulling all-nighters at the company. I was so happy that Mrs. Finch Senior had invited me to the banquet. That's why I came immediately after work.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I wasn't in my best state and didn't want to be rude to Mrs. Finch Senior. As such, I parked by the road and retouched my makeup. Since I was exhausted, I decided to rest briefly.

"I thought it was a quick nap, but

when I opened my eyes and saw the

time... I started driving in a panic

because didn't want Mrs. Finchoet

Senior to wait. So, I forgot to check the road. Who'd have known that at the next second..."

The next second, she crashed into an oncoming car. That sounded perfectly reasonable. Everybody in the room knew her family had been in an inheritance dispute since Oliver's passing. Anastasia, as one of the managers in Young Group and Oliver's adopted granddaughter, naturally had the right to fight for it. As such, it was perfectly normal for her to be busy with work. Retouching her makeup... Taking a power nap... It all made sense.

Eleanor sighed. "You could've come in and rested. It's so dangerous to sleep in a car. No. This is on me. I shouldn't have invited you when you're busy and tired-"

"This isn't your fault, Mrs. Finch Senior. I'm glad that you invited me. It was my fault that I wasn't mindful of the road." Anastasia quickly interrupted Eleanor and took all the blame.

Glancing over at Rose, she seemed extremely aggrieved. "Thank goodness, Rosie is safe. Otherwise, I don't... Rosie..."

At that moment, Rose opened her eyes and heard her voice. Meanwhile, Jonathan was asking the doctor to reevaluate her CT scan to make sure she was a hundred percent fine from the collision.

As such, Anastasia was the first to

notice her. She even strode toward

Before she could act her script or get near her, she was blocked by an arm. She stopped and looked up only to see Jonathan intercepting

her. His face was grim, as though preventing her from nearing Rose.

The moment he turned toward Rose, however, his sullen expression vanished. "You're awake! Are you hurt anywhere? What about your hands? Your legs? And your head is it still dizzy?"

He shot her a series of questions. More importantly, his gentle and caring voice shocked everyone in the room.
