Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232

Serena still looked dazed, reluctant to leave Keith’s side when she only wanted to know how he was doing.

But staying here wouldn’t help anyone, and with James insisting, she finally nodded and followed another doctor for her examination.

After a complete checkup, they discovered Serena had several injuries of her own–wounds she’d missed entirely while worrying about Keith.

“This leg is in bad shape. You’re lucky it didn’t break, and here you are walking around on it,” the doctor scolded. “If the bone shifts, you could have permanent problems. I’m prescribing medication, and then you’re going to a room where you’ll stay put.”

Serena shook her head firmly. “My friend is still in surgery. My injuries aren’t that serious–I can tell.”

The hospital had already received word about the accident involving two people in a car crash. Since Serena was standing relatively fine here, her friend must have been in critical condition.

Seeing that even if he forced her into a room, she wouldn’t rest properly, the doctor waved his hand in resignation. “Fine, go wait then. Just don’t move around too much. When there’s news, I’ll have you taken to a room. Deal?”

Despite Serena’s gentle, mild–mannered appearance, the doctor hadn’t expected such stubborn determination from her.

Serena eventually found herself back at the operating room doors.

James looked surprised to see her return. He quickly realized she must be too worried to stay away, no matter what anyone said. She had to be here, waiting for news.

“I’m sorry.” Serena’s voice caught in her throat. “If he hadn’t been protecting me, Keith never would have gotten hurt this badly.”

James‘ expression grew complicated, but thinking of Keith’s devotion to Serena and how special she was to him, this kind of sacrifice didn’t seem surprising. He spoke softly, trying to comfort her. “Mr. Brannon’s a good man–he’ll pull through this.”

That was all Serena could pray for now.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted nearby. Serena and James turned to see several police officers approaching. When they spotted Serena, they walked

straight over.

“Ms. Gray? We’ve apprehended the driver. This appears to involve commercial crime. Could you come to the station for identification?”

“Commercial crime?” Serena’s mind raced. “So it wasn’t some random accident. He did this on purpose.” The pieces clicked into place, but she shook her head firmly.

She said, “My friend hasn’t woken up yet. I’m not leaving.”

The officers exchanged uncomfortable glances. The victim wasn’t in any state to be pushed right now, and they couldn’t force her to help with their case.
