Jessica had already disappeared.
The living room was empty.
Although Carl guessed that she might have left, he still went to the kitchen with a glimmer of hope.
But there was no one in the kitchen. Then he went to the bathroom.
The bathroom was empty, too.
Sitting hopelessly on the sofa, Carl suddenly remembered that Jaron had told him yesterday that Jessica had a performance today.
At this time, his phone rang.
It was Kalyan.
Carl immediately put on a grim face, as Kalyan would not call him early in the morning unless in an emergency.
Carl answered the phone and said, "What's it?"
"Mr. Carl, Jayvion had an accident..." Kalyan replied in a serious tone.
Carl finally decided not to see Jessica's performance but drive away.
Before leaving, he called Jessica, but she didn't answer. Probably she was performing.
So Carl texted her saying, "I have to leave for something urgent."
As he was about to start the car, he thought for a while and picked up his phone again. He decided to send another message and said clearly, "It's very important."
After sending it, he put down his phone and drove to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, Kalyan was waiting for him at the gate.
Kalyan briefly explained the situation to Carl when they went upstairs.
There was a crowd of people gathering at the door when they arrived.
Carl pushed the door open and went in. Jayvion, who was lying on the bed, was about to sit up. At the sight of Carl, he froze and hurriedly turned his head to look out of the window.
He was too ashamed to face Carl again.
"I came to see you early in the morning and you just treat me like this. Don't be so indifferent." Carl raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Jayvion with a faint smile.
Jayvion knew that Carl was speaking ironically.
He sighed and slowly turned to look at Carl.
"You shouldn't have come. I don't want you to see me like this."
"You don't want that? But everyone is here outside." Carl raised his chin and pointed to the door.
"I know." Jayvion smiled weakly and said, "I've been awake for a while, but I didn't dare to call anyone."
He had enjoyed splendid moments before, but he didn't expect that he would be like this.
