He cut it off without answering, but the phone rang again.
Stefan was about to dismiss it again when Raegan suddenly stopped him.
“Stefan, why not answer it? What if it’s something important?”
Stefan frowned, still reluctant to answer it. “It can wait. I’ll drive you home first.”
“Just answer it first and see what it’s about.”

Stefan relented and answered the phone. After Listening to the person on the other end of the line, his expression changed. He asked, “Is it serious? Which hospital?”

Stefan fell silent, listening to the person on the other end of the line again. Then, he hung up and looked at Raegan with a troubled expression.
Stefan’s lips moved, wanting to say something. But before he could speak, Raegan quickly said, “It must be something serious. Go ahead. Don’t worry about me.”
Stefan explained, “It’s a student who messed up an experiment and injured his hand. His parents are not in Ardlens, so no one can take care of him.”
“Then, go. It’s an emergency. You should leave now.” Raegan nudged Stefan. “I’m fine. I’ll just call my driver to pick me up.”
Stefan looked at her worriedly. “But it will take thirty minutes for the driver to get here. I’m not comfortable leaving you to wait that long.”
Raegan thought for a while. It was indeed time-consuming for the driver to travel back and forth. She unlocked her phone and said, “I’ll hail a cab now. Stefan, don’t worry about me. I am no longer a child. I can go home on my own.”
Stefan was still concerned for Raegan’s safety, yet he was needed to handle things since the student called from the hospital was panicked, having bombarded him with calls. He had no choice. After giving Raegan some instructions, he left.
Raegan waited alone at the entrance for her ride. Oddly, there were only a few cabs in this area tonight. She had been waiting for twenty minutes, but there was still no sign of her booked cab.
Unfortunately, Raegan encountered a few drunk revelers. As they laid eyes on the stunning Raegan, they approached her and belligerently asked for her contact number, reeking of alcohol.
Raegan ignored them, frowning and walking to the guardhouse to avoid further harassment.
Unexpectedly, the drunken boldness prompted one of the drunk revelers to knock on the guardhouse’s door, which resulted in a stern scolding from the security guard, yet they kept banging on the door.
Seeing this, the security guard picked up the walkie-talkie to summon other security guards in the lobby to come and deal with the drunk revelers.
Before other security guards could arrive, a harsh car horn sounded.
Then, a black Maybach charged toward the group of drunk revelers with great momentum, as if it was determined to hit them.
The drunk revelers were so frightened that they quickly scattered.
Two of them fell and rolled several times on the ground.
The security guard was also terrified. If the car didn’t stop, it would plow into the small guardhouse.
Raegan was equally startled. She instinctively covered her belly with her hands, and her face turned as pale as a sheet.
