Chapter 327 No Regrets
Out of nowhere, a black sedan sped directly toward Calista. Attention fixed on her phone call, Calista had
no chance to react.
The car approached so rapidly that debris from the collision grazed her skin. Escape was impossible. Their eyes locked through the windshield as screams and the loud impact filled the air.
All other sounds faded away at that moment, leaving only the image of the unfamiliar, manic face growing more significant before Calista.
Abruptly, she felt a powerful force from behind, causing her to stumble forward, tripping over debris and
tumbling on the ground.
Bang!
The car collided with an object, and Calista was thrown to the ground, feeling pain in her elbows and
knees.
Oddly, the physical discomfort helped her snap out of the fear and shock she had just experienced. As
she lay on the ground, the noises around her began to make sense.
People were shouting, “Call 911 immediately! Look at all that blood. It doesn’t look like the chances of
survival are high.”
“Hey, everyone, I’m here on Brookside Drive, and I just witnessed a terrible car accident right before my
eyes. I have to tell you, that driver seemed intentional, speeding straight at her without any s signs of
slowing down. It could be a personal grudge, a crime of passion, or a protest against society…”
Calista gritted her teeth and sat up, swatting away the phone that had almost landed before her. The car
had narrowly missed hitting Calista.
She felt pain from the scrapes and cuts she had endured during her fall.
Calista scanned her surroundings, hoping to spot the person who had pushed her out of harm’s way
during the critical moment.
However, her rescuer was nowhere to be found. Instead, she saw a crowd with their phones out, taking photos and videos of the incident.
Then, Calista spotted her. It was a woman who had pushed Callsta during the Impending danger, She seemed to be a similar age as Calista, dressed lavishly, and her expensive bag lay nearby.
However, the woman’s condition was unclear as she lay with her back turned amidst a pool of blood
The onlookers, fearing potential consequences, maintained a cautious distance, uncertain whether the woman was alive or deceased.
Calista quickly rose to her feet and rushed toward the woman. Though she couldn’t offer much assistance, it was only fair to assess her condition since she had intervened to save Calista.
As Calista saw the woman’s face, a sense of remorse washed over her.
If she had known things would turn out like this, she would have preferred to take the hit herself. The woman who had come to Calista’s rescue was none other than Vivian.
Calista felt weak and didn’t care about the dirty ground.
She sat down and uttered, “Ms. Jacquez, what on earth are you trying to achieve?”
Vivian either genuinely fainted or was pretending to. She lay motionless with her eyes closed. Considering the significant amount of blood around her, her injuries appeared to be substantial.
Calista muttered, “If things go south, you might die.”
Calista couldn’t help but wonder if Vivian had hidden some blood packs as she observed the
blood on the ground.

Considering the sound of the collision and the distance Vivian had been thrown, the injuries shouldn’t.
have been excessively severe.
The presence of such a large amount of blood was perplexing. While Calista remained uncertain about Vivian’s true motives, it was evident that Vivian had invested significantly in this scheme.
Before long, two ambulances arrived. The medical staff prioritized attending to Vivian and the
unconscious driver, placing them on stretchers and into the ambulances before assisting Calista.
Shortly after that, they reached the hospital. After confirming that Calista had not been struck by the car,
a nurse swiftly tended to her minor injuries before tending to other duties.
Calista sat outside the emergency room, scrolling through her phone.
In no time, the incident had caused a significant online sensation. A well–known online influencer with millions of followers had been live streaming at the scene and captured Vivian’s courageous deed.
The Internet was now singing her praises,
Comments poured in addressing Vivian as the most beautiful angel and commending her selflessness, Furthermore, netizens uncovered the true identities of Vivian and Calista.
Some who claimed to be Calista’s fans shared their heartfelt appreciation for Vivian in the comments, their words carrying a sincere depth as if they had been saved from a dire situation.
Amidst the bustling hospital corridor, hurried footsteps drew closer. A shadow fell over Calista, and Lucian crouched in front of her before she could look up
He held her calf and examined the scrape on her knee.
“I thought you said you weren’t hurt,” he said.
Lucian had arrived at the hospital directly from work and was still dressed formally. David had also come along, standing awkwardly to the side like a bystander.
Lucian’s presence attracted attention in the crowded corridor, his innate charisma drawing the gaze of
onlookers.
Calista lowered her head. Lucian’s hands were elegant and well–proportioned, his fingers brushing her
skin as he attempted to clean away the dirt.
“It’s only been a day since I last saw you, and you’ve managed to get yourself all dirty like this?”
Lucian’s touch was so light that he struggled to remove the dirt from Calista’s body, inadvertently making her feel itchy. A faint blush crept onto the tips of Calista’s ears as she shifted her feet uncomfortably.
“I just got a scrape when I tumbled. It’s just a small cut, nothing serious.”
Lucian frowned, his gaze shifting to the thick bandages wrapped around her knees and elbows.
“You’re all bundled up like a mummy. How can you say it’s not serious? You’ll have a driver to take you
and from work from now on.”

Before Calista could refuse, she spotted a member of the Jacquez family heading her way, someone she
recognized from the party, probably an assistant. Reporters trailed behind him.
The secretary had initially been headed for the operating room where Vivian was located. However, upon
spotting Lucian, he changed his direction and approached their way instead.
“Ah, Mr. Northwood. How is Miss Everhart doing?”
Suddenly, the operating room door opened, and a doctor emerged. Calista was about to get up, but Lucian pressed her shoulder, urging her to stay seated.
“Stay here I go.”
The doctor explained. The patient has a fractured leg and multiple soft tissue contusions. Here’s the
Jean’s secretary signed the form and then turned to go downstairs to handle the paperwork.
David hurriedly followed and said, “I’ll go with you. Ms. Jacquez got hurt while saving Madam Calista. We should take care of the hospitalization bills.
Vivian was brought out on a hospital bed from the operating room just then, She was conscious but appeared frail as she lay on the bed, her complexion unnaturally pale due to blood loss.
Her leg was encased in a cast, and her body was stained with dirt and blood, giving her a disheveled
appearance
As soon as she appeared, the eager reporters swarmed around her, bombarding her with a barrage of
questions.
“Ms. Jacquez, weren’t you scared when you pushed Ms. Everhart? Have you ever thought about the consequences?” a reporter asked.
“It’s been reported that you were at a distance before the car crashed. Are you feeling remorseful about your choice now, given the severe injuries you’ve suffered?” another reporter inquired.
Vivian turned her head and caught sight of Calista, who reporters were blocking.
She smiled faintly and replied, “Callie and I are close friends. I don’t have any regrets about rescuing her,
not even if there were some severe consequences.
