Chapter 1952 Stay In There
Mabel kept struggling. She grabbed the front car seat and refused to let go. “Unless you kill me, Wilbur, I’m never getting off this car!”
Unable to get her off the car, Wilbur uttered, “You’re not going to get down from the car, are you? Okay, you can stay in it, then.”
In the next second, Wilbur closed the car door with a loud slam. He then walked toward the cab driver and said, “Please send me instead.”
Before the cab driver realized what was going on, Wilbur had entered the car and paid the cab fare. Hence, the driver turned around and sent Wilbur to the address he had given.
Before he left, he even glanced at the two women in the other car one last time, confused about the entire situation. “Wilbur, you brat! Stand right there!” Mabel scrambled down from the car and yelled at the cab.
However, Wilbur completely ignored her, leaving her to stomp her foot in fury. Meanwhile, Janice, who was still in the car, slowly opened her eyes.
What’s going on? Did I just hear that Wilbur is gone? Did Wilbur just leave the unconscious me here in the middle of the road? How could he do something like this?
Before she could come back to her senses from the disappointment, Mabel walked over. “You can drop the act now. Wilbur’s gone. Let’s take a cab back.”
“What about his car?”
“His car? He doesn’t even care about your life! He left us here, but you’re still concerned about his car? You really deserve it, huh? No matter how much you try to appease him, he might never spare a glance at you. You’re cheap.”
Janice bit down hard her lips before storming out of the car to hail a cab with Mabel. Meanwhile, after the cab driver drove a distance, he asked if Wilbur had patients in his car.
Then, he said that he should not delay their visit to the hospital because that was what happened to him—his wife had died from a heart attack because they could not reach the hospital in time. He even tried to persuade Wilbur to return to them and told him that he would not charge him for the cab fare.
“Young man, just listen to me. Take a look at them. If anything happens to them, you’ll feel guilty forever.”
After mulling over his words for a while, he abruptly recalled that his receipt for Parakeet Gems was still in the car. Hence, he decided to return to get the receipt and take a look at them.
“Let’s head back then.”
The driver instantly turned the car around and drove back even quicker than before.
However, upon returning, the two of them were greeted with a surprising sight.
Janice and Mabel were hailing a cab.
Isn’t she supposed to be unconscious? Why is she awake now?
All of a sudden, realization struck Wilbur hard, and a look of anger emerged on his face.
Right then, a cab came to a stop beside Mabel, and the driver wound down the window to ask where Mabel was going.
Mabel huffed, “To the Simpson residence.” However, before she could get into the car, Mabel scowled and complained about how the cab was too old and smelly and about how the seats would be uncomfortable.
At that, the cab driver looked at her before turning to look at Wilbur’s car.
“I have an old car, and you have a fancy car, but why don’t you drive that instead?”
“I-If I could drive, would I still need you?”
The cab driver then turned to look at Janice, who snapped, “My arm’s injured. I can’t drive.”
Then who drove the car here? That was what he wondered.
The cab driver then squinted and studied them for a while longer before asking, “Are you actually going to get into the car? I’m in a rush.”
“Yes.”
After a heavy sigh, Mabel was about to enter the car when Janice abruptly saw Wilbur walking toward his car and entering it.
Instantly, she cried out to Mabel, “Wilbur! Wilbur’s back!”
Spinning around, Mabel instantly strode toward Wilbur’s car.
“Wilbur, Wilbur, let us in!” she yelled as she smacked the car window.
However, Wilbur only glanced at her coldly before speeding off.
