I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 590 - 588: The Truth about Amnesia (6)

The police car arrived quickly, and an ambulance soon followed...

The area was cordoned off, and medical staff rushed to the scene to treat a few affected pedestrians. One of them hurried to Vera Wave, asking if she was injured.

Vera just shook her head in Kris Cooper’s arms, her face as pale as paper.

The body of the driver responsible for the accident was carefully removed from underneath the car, placed on a stretcher by the staff, and loaded into the ambulance. Kris Cooper and Vera Wave were also taken by the police for questioning.

Under Kris Cooper’s calming influence, Vera’s emotional state improved somewhat, and she promptly recounted the events to the officers.

"I was originally sitting in the passenger seat. I saw the car rushing towards us in the rear-view mirror. I jumped out of the car, and then it crashed over... I was terrified, so I turned and sprinted to the side..."

The police carefully recorded her statement and Kris Cooper’s, then had her sign to confirm it.

By then, employees from the American branch, having heard the news, had also hurried to the interrogation room. Seeing that both Kris Cooper and Vera were unharmed, one of the staff members heaved a long sigh of relief.

A short time later, once the basic procedures had been completed, Kris Cooper brought Vera back to the hotel.

After all the commotion, their trip to the castle was naturally off.

Staff brought in lunch, but Vera had no appetite. Kris Cooper personally fed her some soup. She forced down a few sips, then raised her hands to press against her temples.

Her brows furrowed, her small face etched with an extremely agonized expression.

"Vera?"

Noticing her strange expression, Kris Cooper hurriedly put down the soup and supported her shoulders.

"Don’t touch me!" Vera suddenly shrieked, pushing him away. She scrambled up from the bed and rushed towards the door, crying out shrilly, "Help... help!"

"Vera!"

Kris Cooper quickly got up to chase after her. He caught her arm before she could open the door and turned her to face him. "Look carefully, it’s me, I’m Kris Cooper..."

"Get away, don’t touch me..."

Vera just struggled frantically, scratching, hitting, and shrieking at him...

Fearing she would run out and harm herself, Kris Cooper didn’t dare use too much force. He let her thrash and struggle while one arm held her fast, preventing her escape. His other hand reached over to steady her darting face, meeting her eyes.

"Vera, I’m Kris Cooper, look carefully... Vera, focus... Vera, it’s me, Kris Cooper..."

He repeated it over and over. In Vera’s terrified and panicked gaze, a flicker of clarity finally began to emerge.

Her eyes, originally blurred, gradually focused, meeting his.

Gazing into those amber eyes filled with heartache for her, the color slowly returned to her small face.

"Kris Cooper?"

"Yes, I’m Kris Cooper. Look at me carefully." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

After studying his face, her arms, which had been braced against his shoulders, wrapped tightly around him.

"Kris Cooper, they... they were bullying me..."

She had barely spoken a few words before she burst into tears, her voice choked with grievance.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, Vera. Kris Cooper is here, your husband is here... No one will dare to bully you again. Not anymore... no one will ever bully you again. Your husband is here... There, there, Vera, don’t be afraid..."

His heart ached unbearably. He just held her, gently comforting her.

Only when she had cried her fill and was leaning exhaustedly against his shoulder did he gently lift her. He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, still holding her in his arms.
