Chapter 680: Investigating the Car Accident
When Xie Shu heard Ilia's weak voice, his nose felt sore and his eyes quickly turned red.
She quickly walked to the bedside, gently held her daughter's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Silly child, Mommy is fine, you don't have to worry... How do you feel now? Is it still painful?"
Ilia shook her head slightly, her voice weak: "I'm fine... just a little tired."
Xie Shu looked at Ilia's pale face distressedly and gently stroked her forehead: "You have a good rest and don't talk. Mom is here with you."
Old Wilson stood by, his eyes full of concern. He said softly, "Ilia, just focus on recovering from your injuries. We'll take care of the rest. We'll definitely find the driver who caused the accident. We won't let your injuries go in vain."
Ilia nodded slightly, a look of fatigue and relief in her eyes.
She closed her eyes, as if wanting to rest for a moment, or as if she had fallen into a coma.
Xie Shu held her daughter's hand tightly and whispered softly: "Ilia, you must get better soon. Mom can't live without you..."
Old Wilson patted his wife's shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, the doctor said that Ilia is out of danger. She just needs to rest well and she will recover soon."
Xie Shu nodded, this was a blessing in disguise.
She looked down at her daughter's face, her heart filled with self-blame and guilt.
If it weren't for saving her, Ilia wouldn't have been injured so badly.
As time passed, Ilia's breathing gradually became steady, and she seemed to have fallen into a light sleep. Xie Shu and Old Wilson quietly stayed by the bedside, neither of them speaking, just silently accompanying their daughter.
Outside the ICU, Yan Huai looked at this scene, frowned, and looked thoughtful.
Although he couldn't hear the sound of their conversation, he could see the expression on his mother's face.
It can be seen that she feels very sorry for Ilia.
If this goes on, I'm afraid my mother will be soft-hearted towards Ilia and stop them from sending her away.
Half an hour later, the nurse knocked gently on the door and reminded: "Visit time is up, the patient needs to rest, family members can leave first."
Xie Shu reluctantly let go of Ilia's hand and said softly, "Ilia, Mom is going out first. You should have a good rest. Mom will come to see you later."
Ilia closed her eyes and did not respond.
Xie Shu held back her tears, nodded, and followed old Wilson out of the ICU ward.
Yan Huai was standing outside the ward. When he saw his parents coming out, he immediately went to greet them: "Dad, Mom, how is Ilia?"
Xie Shu wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "She's awake and in good condition, just a little tired and needs more rest."
Yan Huai: "That's good. Mom, you're tired too, go back and rest first. There's a nurse here, and two servants will be sent over, so everything will be fine."
Xie Shu shook his head: "No, I want to wait until Ilia is transferred to the general ward before going back."
She has a minor bone fracture and does not need to be hospitalized. She can just go home and rest.
Yan Huai: "Mom, you are worried about your sister, but you also have to take care of yourself. If your sister wakes up and finds out that you are sick because of taking care of her, she will definitely blame herself."
Upon hearing this, Xie Shu indeed showed hesitation.
Old Wilson patted his wife's shoulder and said softly, "Go back and rest for a while. We'll come back after Ilia is transferred to the general ward. You also need to rest well for the injury on your hand. Don't let Ilia worry."
Xie Shu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back and rest first."
Old Wilson sent Xie Shu back.
As soon as they left, Yan Huai went to see the doctor who performed surgery on Ilia and got Ilia's medical records.
It said that Ilia had a skull fracture, intracranial hemorrhage, broken ribs, and internal bleeding in her organs. Her condition was quite serious, and if she didn't recover well, there would be sequelae.
Holding the information, Yan Huai walked around and went to the nurses' station to chat with the nurses on the pretext of caring about his sister.
He was handsome, polite, and still concerned about his family, so several nurses who were assisting Dr. Ilia in the operating room were happy to answer his questions.
They rested for a while after finishing the operation, and now they are busy again. One of them is preparing medicine for Ilia and knows Ilia's condition best. The other nurse has finished her work and is drinking water to rest. She is the most enthusiastic towards Yan Huai.
After chatting with them for a while, Yan Huai thanked them and left.
He basically confirmed that Ilia's injuries were not exaggerated or falsified.
On the way back to the estate, Wilson Sr. received a call from the police and the motorcyclist was caught.
He called Yan Huai and asked him to go to the police to deal with it.
Even if he didn't say it, Yan Huai would still go to meet the motorcycle driver.
Arriving at the police station, Yan Huai first watched the surveillance video.
That area is located in the city center, not far from the City Hall. There are surveillance cameras everywhere, and the footage is very clear. There is no dispute that the motorcyclist was driving under the influence and is fully responsible.
The police have taken him into custody.
Next he will face charges from the prosecutor, and Yan Huai doesn't need to worry about that.
He took the motorcycle driver's basic information and gave it to his men, asking them to investigate whether the driver had had any contact with suspicious people recently, especially Ilia's people.
He suspected that the car accident was not a coincidence. Although Ilia's injuries dispelled some of his suspicions, he still couldn't be completely relieved.
Of course, Yan Huai asked them to investigate secretly and not let Old Wilson and Xie Shu know.
After leaving the police station, Yan Huai returned to the manor and had dinner with old Wilson Xie Shu.
He came back this time because the plan had reached a critical stage.
But at the dinner table, no one mentioned anything about the company.
On the second day, Ilia's condition stabilized and she was transferred to the general ward.
After Xie Shu got the news, he immediately rushed over with his servants.
Yan Huai also received the results of his subordinates' investigation.
The motorcycle driver's background is not complicated. His name is Jack Miller. He is an ordinary deliveryman. He is honest and lives a simple life. His colleagues say that he is a good person.
But he has a hobby, which is drinking.
He always has a drink with every meal. After get off work, he is often alone or drinks with colleagues or friends. Most of his salary is spent on alcohol. He has no ambition and just lives a life of mediocrity.
According to Jack's confession, he accidentally drank too much last night, got up late this morning, ate breakfast quickly, and rushed to deliver the goods to the customer. He drove fast, his mind was not clear, and there was fog, so he accidentally got into this car accident.
By the way, he didn’t forget to have a drink while eating breakfast.
After investigation by his subordinates, it was found that Jack's life recently was no different from before. There were no suspicious people around him, and his call records were normal. No large sums of money were transferred into Jack's own bank card or the bank cards of his relatives and friends.
From this perspective, it seems to be a normal car accident caused by drunk driving.
