Chapter 252 Catherine Almost Had a Car Accident
Venus's voice sounded a bit anxious.
"Boss, Sophia isn't reckless, and nothing should happen to her while she's with Richard, but you know that village area is quite special. If something really did happen..."
Venus and Sophia were twins and very close.
The small village was near the border, so there was no guarantee what dangers might be lurking in the shadows.
"When did contact get lost? I'll head over right away."
"Forty-eight hours ago. There was also some trouble at the site before contact was lost. You'll understand when you see it!"
Internal members of the Galactic Aurora Collective were required to send their coordinates every twenty-four hours.
With Sophia missing for this long, and together with Richard, this was definitely a serious problem.
Catherine glanced at her phone. She didn't have many classes these next couple days. Even if the paperwork wasn't processed yet, she'd have to skip class!
After hanging up, Catherine headed straight for the school gate.
Just as she reached the tree-lined path, someone suddenly blocked her way!
Before Catherine could see who was in front of her, the sound of honking came from the path, and a car careened out of control toward Catherine!
The person blocking Catherine saw an opportunity and nervously tried to rush forward!
As long as he played the hero and saved her now, Catherine would definitely remember him.
Even if Catherine remained cold and distant, as long as he got more involved with her, he didn't believe she would continue to treat him coldly.
"Watch out!"
Tiberius had just stood up from his wheelchair, about to rush forward, when he took a kick to the chest!
Catherine kicked the hood of the out-of-control car, and seeing Tiberius recklessly charging forward, she frowned slightly.
What was this idiot trying to do?
He couldn't possibly think that as a critically ill patient who could barely walk, he could save her at a time like this, could he?
Considering that Tiberius was Owen's grandson and her patient, it wouldn't be appropriate if something happened to him right in front of her.
Catherine simply kicked him in the chest, sending Tiberius away from the car's path, though he rolled several times on the ground!
Tiberius was already critically ill, yet he insisted on struggling to get up. This kick made him cough up blood and pass out unconscious.
The out-of-control car crashed into a tree trunk, its hood severely deformed and smoking.
The driver's airbag had deployed, and the driver was unconscious, clearly injured.
Catherine looked at the students gathered around. "Could someone please call for an ambulance?"
"Don't you need to go to the hospital with the ambulance to get checked out?"
What just happened was so sudden that they were all stunned!
They thought this really pretty girl was going to get hit by the car, but unexpectedly her moves were so smooth - using the car's momentum, she flipped and jumped herself to safety in one motion!
This student was so cool!
Catherine shook her head. "I'm fine. Let's get the injured to the hospital."
Charles, who had seen what happened from a distance, was covered in cold sweat. He rushed over and grabbed Catherine's hands, checking her up and down.
"Catherine, are you okay?"
He had just entered the school gate to meet Gabriella when he witnessed this horrifying scene. Charles was scared to death!
That car somehow went rampaging through campus without any care. If something had really happened to Catherine, Charles didn't dare think about the consequences.
"I'm fine."
"No, no, you still need to go to the hospital for a checkup. Have your second brother examine you thoroughly, otherwise I won't feel at ease!"
Charles pulled Catherine close, checking her carefully from head to toe, and only relaxed briefly after confirming there were no problems.
"It's not necessary, Charles. I'm really fine."
Charles's gaze was sharp as a knife as he looked at the dean who had rushed over.
"I think you owe me an explanation! Why would something like this happen on campus? If Imperial University can't even guarantee student safety, then I'll have to reconsider whether my sister should continue studying here!"
Charles's the Evergreen Group had just donated a building and countless laboratory equipment to Imperial University before Catherine enrolled, and educational investment projects were also underway.
Catherine studying here wasn't simply a matter between the school and one student - it also concerned Imperial University's reputation in Imperia City!
If something happened to Catherine at school, given the Windsor family's status as a top financial power, Imperial University would be in trouble too.
Catherine looked at the dean with a calm expression.
As if the person who had nearly been hit by the car wasn't her at all.
"It was indeed very dangerous. I remember cars aren't allowed on the tree-lined path. I'm fine, but it wouldn't be good if other students got hurt."
This kind of thing wasn't much to Catherine, but what about ordinary students?
Facing an out-of-control car speeding through campus, regular students would be injured even if they didn't die.
The dean's face was covered in cold sweat!
"Yes, yes, we'll definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give Catherine an explanation!"
Actually, the dean himself didn't know why this had happened!
How could an out-of-control car end up on the tree-lined path out of nowhere? And nearly hit someone!
The ambulance took away the driver and Tiberius lying on the ground. Only then did Charles notice there had been someone lying on the ground.
"Isn't that Tiberius from the Harrison family? What's he doing here?"
The dean's legs were shaking!
He felt like his career might be ending today.
"Tiberius is doing graduate studies at our school. He just enrolled recently."
Charles frowned. "Graduate studies at his age? I remember he was just in the ICU a few days ago - how is he already out?"
Catherine nodded. "He probably snuck out on his own. A few days ago, Juniper and I saw him in the ICU."
With many trees on the path and students crowding around, neither the dean nor Charles had seen Catherine kick Tiberius away.
They assumed Tiberius was just unlucky and got hit by the car.
Hearing that Tiberius was in poor health and had actually run away from the ICU, only to get in a car accident, the dean jumped into the ambulance without another word!
If this blew up, the school would crucify him!
The dean felt like he needed emergency care himself right now!
Charles was still worried.
"Catherine, you should go get checked out too. I'll contact George right away!"
Catherine shook her head. "I'll just check myself over. Charles, I need to leave for a couple days. Could you help me request leave?"
"Where are you going?"
Charles asked instinctively, then looked down to see Catherine's pure, bright face. Those eyes were as cute as a fawn's, and Charles's heart softened immediately.
Catherine must have been scared just now!
