Chapter 1 No One Would Even Know

Covered in blood, Stella Spencer sat in the examination room of Seabrook General Hospital. She watched numbly as the nurse inserted a needle into the back of her hand.“Make way! Make way!” The air was heavy with the mix of blood and gasoline. A stretcher rushed past her, and she caught a glimpse of the man on it.His clothes were almost completely drenched in blood, and a large share of windshield was embedded in his badly bent calf.The doctors’ voices became distant and hazy, fading in and out. The wounded arrived like a tide, each new stretcher punctuated by the endless echoes of wails and cries.“Where are your family members? Have they arrived?” The room fell silent, as if everyone was waiting for a reply. But, unfortunately, things didn’t not always go as one hoped.“Ma’am, your injuries aren’t as serious as others, but this was a chain collision after all. You should contact your family. It’ll be better to have someone with you for a more thorough check,” the nurse gently advised. Stella nodded gratefully, took out her phone and made the call.
