I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The sound of Meredith’s voice was drowned out by the intense impact.

In the final critical moment, Terrence Sterling violently turned the steering wheel, changing the car’s direction and crashing into a large tree. The airbags deployed, and the driver’s side of the car, where Terrence was, directly collided with the tree, causing the car body to dent.

After a loud crash, everything fell into silence.

Under the impact, Meredith fell into a state of unconsciousness, while Terrence Sterling’s situation was even more severe. The car’s windshield shattered, and the car door caved in.

In situations of danger, people usually prioritize their own safety. However, in this crucial moment, Terrence Sterling did not choose to crash into the tree on Meredith’s side. He minimized the danger on Meredith’s side, putting himself in the most perilous position.

After a while, Meredith woke up from her unconscious state. Despite feeling groggy, miraculously, she had no external injuries.

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Meredith fully regained consciousness. She saw blood streaming down Terrence Sterling’s forehead, and his arm scratched by broken glass, completely unconscious.

Anxious, Meredith exclaimed, “Mr. Sterling, Mr. Sterling,” but Terrence Sterling did not respond to her calls.

Unbuckling her seatbelt, Meredith struggled to get out of the car. Her leg had been injured in the accident and she felt pain with every step.

Meredith circled around to the driver’s side, forcefully opened the door, and pulled Terrence Sterling out of the car.

The area was deserted, with hardly any passing vehicles.

Meredith placed Terrence Sterling in a safe spot before searching for her phone in the car. Despite appearing calm on the surface, she was actually trembling with fear and anxiety while dialing for an ambulance. Her voice quivered as she spoke.

Fearful for Terrence Sterling’s well-being, Meredith realized that she had sustained minimal injuries not due to luck but because Terrence Sterling had taken on all the risks.

Meredith was puzzled by why Terrence Sterling would make such a choice. Normally, people cherish their lives, especially in critical moments, but he chose to protect her.

If one claimed that Meredith felt nothing in her heart, it would be a lie.

After making the call, Meredith sat down by a nearby tree, holding onto Terrence Sterling. “Mr. Sterling, please. If something happens to you, I will feel guilty for a lifetime. My baby won’t have a father anymore. Terrence Sterling, you can’t die. I’m talking to you; you’re going to be a father…”

Meredith kept talking to Terrence Sterling, who remained unresponsive.

Soon, the ambulance arrived. Meredith accompanied him to the hospital, where Terrence Sterling was rushed into the operating room.

Covered in blood, Meredith stood outside the operating room, her clothes stained with Terrence Sterling’s blood.

Another doctor emerged from the operating room, and Meredith grabbed hold of him, asking about Terrence Sterling’s condition. “Please don’t worry. We are doing our best to help him, but the situation is not optimistic. Prepare yourself for what might happen,” the doctor said before rushing off.

Those words sent chills down Meredith’s spine, and her heart sank.

As she nervously clasped her hands, her phone in her pocket rang. It was Terrence Sterling’s phone, which she had taken from the car earlier and placed in her bag.

Seeing Thornfield Gardens displayed on the screen, she answered the call. Mrs. Wooten’s voice came through, “Mr. Sterling, are you coming back for dinner tonight?”

“Mis. Wooten, Mr. Sterling can’t come back for now. He… was in an accident and is currently in the operating room,” Meredith’s voice choked with emotion.

“What? Mr. Sterling was in an accident?” Mrs. Wooten was shocked, glancing over at Fiona beside her.

This call was actually prompted by Fiona. Terrence Sterling had not returned for two days, and Fiona, too afraid to contact him directly, had asked Mrs. Wooten to call.

Upon hearing about Terrence Sterling’s accident, Fiona was also taken aback and quickly asked, “Mrs. Wooten, please find out which hospital Mr. Sterling is at and how serious his injuries are.”

Terrence Sterling’s accident presented a good opportunity for Fiona to take care of him and foster a closer relationship. Unaware that Meredith was the one on the other end of the call, Fiona eagerly awaited the information about Terrence Sterling’s condition.

After getting the hospital address, Mrs. Wooten informed Fiona, “He’s at Meriton’s Metro Health Medical Center.”
