Chapter 1023:
“Yeah. Dylan will definitely be okay,”.
Eloise chimed in, her tone equally gentle.
A while back, both Chloe and Eloise had been shaken to their core by the horrific crash. Thankfully, Dylan’s SUV had been custom-built with exceptional quality. The speeding car’s front was crumpled beyond recognition, while Dylan’s SUV suffered only a dent—
Though the force of the impact had flipped it over, if the SUV hadn’t been built to such high standards, Dylan’s injuries would have been far more catastrophic.
“He’s lost so much blood—it’s terrifying,”.
Chloe sobbed brokenly.
“It’s alright. Don’t panic. He’ll be fine. After a crash that violent, bleeding is expected—it would be worse if he hadn’t,”.
Christina soothed. Then, she turned to Eloise. “Stay with Chloe. I’ll go check Dylan’s examination reports.”
“Alright.”.
Eloise nodded firmly.
Christina poured over Dylan’s examination reports, her focus lingering especially on the brain CT. Thankfully, there was no damage to his internal organs. Aside from a concussion and several external injuries, there were no critical complications.
She exhaled deeply, relief flooding through her tense chest. It was sheer fortune that Dylan’s SUV had been crafted with such quality; otherwise, under such impact, he might have been left in a vegetative state—or worse, not have survived.
The reckless driver had died instantly on the scene, though it remained uncertain whether he had acted out of sheer desperation or under someone’s orders.
Christina’s eyes hardened with cold resolve. If someone had orchestrated this, she would make sure they paid the price!
After confirming that Dylan would be alright, Christina finally had time to deal with the matter. She instructed Davina to investigate and uncover whether someone had been pulling the strings behind the reckless driver.
As Christina made her way back down the corridor, she crossed paths with Brendon. Her brow furrowed, and she instinctively considered slipping into a ward to avoid him. She had neither the strength nor the patience to deal with Brendon now.

But Brendon, who had been searching tirelessly for her, lit up the moment he caught sight of her. Rushing forward, he seized her hand in a grip full of relief. “You’re safe! Thank God—you’re safe…”.
His voice trembled with excitement, his grip unconsciously far too tight.
Only when Christina winced from the pain and tried to wrench her hand free with sheer force did he realize and let go.
Christina’s concern for Dylan’s injury drove her to hurry back to his side. But before she could move, Brendon’s hand shot out, pulling her into a tight embrace that she couldn’t break free from.
Christina glared at him, her eyes filled with fury, as if he had lost his mind. She shoved him away and snapped, “Have you lost your mind?”
Brendon didn’t back down, trying once more to hold her in his arms.
A sharp slap rang out as Christina struck Brendon across the face, hoping to bring him to his senses.
