Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 617

Chapter 617

Lex’s thin lips pressed into a hard line. A chilling, murderous gleam flickered in his eyes.

Rick furrowed his brow. “Lex, what exactly happened with the accident?”

Lex’s voice was cold and sharp. “Not sure. But someone definitely tampered with my car.”

Rick asked, “Is Sharon involved?”

A cold smile curled at Lex’s lips. “The car brakes failed right when Sharon was there. What are the odds? Besides… sure, my brakes failed, but it was Sharon’s collision that caused the accident. If she hadn’t hit us, Victoria wouldn’t be hurt.”

Rick had already sent people to investigate, but no results were in yet. He still didn’t know what really happened.

As they spoke, Cole arrived holding a video from the dashcam.

“Rick, here’s the footage from the scene,” he said.

Rick’s face darkened as he took the phone.

In the medical room, the doctor returned with the X-rays.

Smiling, she told Sharon, “Sharon, your bones are fine. Your wrist isn’t damaged. Just keep applying the medication on time, and once the swelling goes down, you’ll be okay.”

She hesitated, then added, “But try not to get it wet today. There are some small cuts on your wrist. We don’t want an infection.”

“Thank you, Dr. McGarrett,” Sharon said.

Dr. Cynthia McGarrett sighed softly, looking at her. “Sharon, you’re still young, but you can’t keep abusing your body like this. This past year alone, you’ve been hospitalized for fever and drowning, kidnapped and hospitalized again, and now a car

accident…”

Then she turned to Carter with a sharp look.

“How do you take care of your wife? When she was sick in the hospital, you never came. When kidnappers brought her in for checks, you weren’t there either. Work isn’t more important than your wife. Don’t let this happen again.”

Carter’s eyes flickered. “Wait… you said she was hospitalized because of a fever and kidnapping?”

Dr. McGarrett glanced at him. “Yes. A few months ago. I treated her myself. You don’t know about this?”

Carter looked incredulous. “Doctor, are you sure… she really was kidnapped?”

The doctor gave him a strange look.

“Sir, that’s an odd question. As a doctor, I’m responsible for my patients. I wouldn’t lie. Her kidnapping made the news. Our hospital was notified early and assigned to treat her. Just ask around, you’ll find out.”

Carter was stunned. His eyes on Sharon held a complicated mix of guilt and sorrow.

“Sharon, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were really kidnapped. I thought… I thought it was a way you used to get me to come back…

His voice was hoarse, trailing off.

But Sharon no longer cared. She smiled at Dr. McGarrett. “Thank you for your concern. I’ll take care of myself.”

Dr. McGarrett said no more and left after reminding Sharon of some precautions.

After the doctor left, Carter looked at Sharon.

“You.”
