Alejandro opened his eyes and looked at her, probably because he had heard her voice. Then, he passed out again.
Tiffany followed the ambulance taking him to the hospital. Alejandro and the van driver were pushed into the emergency room. Only then did Tiffany return to her senses and call Jackson. “You should go home for now. I can’t come. Something happened while I was on the way!”
Jackson did not expect this to happen. He sounded dismayed. “What happened? Where are you? You’re not only late for such an important thing, you’re not coming at all…”
Tiffany did not plan on telling him about Alejandro’s involvement in the accident, but she was afraid of inciting antagonism by keeping it from him, so she decided to be honest about the accident.
“I’m coming to the hospital to get you. You’re coming home with me at once!” Jackson ordered after hearing her explanation, to her surprise.
She hesitated. “But Alejandro’s family members aren’t here yet. I can’t leave. You should go. I’ll be fine. I can get home on my own later. We can get the marriage certificate in the afternoon.”
Jackson refused to give her any room for argument. Instead, he rushed straight to the hospital.
As expected, Don Smith and Melanie arrived before Jackson. Tiffany was just about to explain the situation to Don Smith when he shot her a glare, passed by her, and headed to the emergency room. She was speechless. Why did he have to be so hostile? Although it seemed like Alejandro had ended up wounded in order to save her, she had called an ambulance and sent him to the hospital.
He marched her back into the car with his arms around her. “Tell me exactly what happened. Spare no details.”
Tiffany reiterated the events from the accident in further detail, leaving nothing out. After all, she couldn’t give a clear account on the phone. She patted her chest traumatically after giving her account of the story. “I was grumbling at the old woman for risking her life by pushing the stroller in the middle of the road at the time too. But I think that van would have probably ran into me if it weren’t for them.”
“Don’t you think that it’s a little too strange?” Jackson asked through gritted teeth.
She looked confused. “What do you mean? There’s nothing strange, except for how Don Smith shot me a glare at the hospital. It’s all just a coincidence. I never thought that Alejandro would just come out from nowhere.”
