Chapter 487 It Was a Set-up
Anna regained consciousness after two days, but she couldn’t move around due to the fracture. She scowled as
soon as she woke up, and her expression was displeased. “Why do I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck?” Anna
mumbled.
Anna was born with a silver spoon as the eldest daughter of the Lowre Family, but she didn’t carry many
responsibilities in her family at that time. Even after she married into the Gardner Family, she hadn’t suffered
much.
However, every part of her body was hurting after she woke up from today’s sleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHayden was waiting beside her bed the whole time. As he watched her regain consciousness, a joyful expression
took over all the worries on his face. He reached out his hands and held her palm as he addressed, “Grandma.”
Anna lowered her gaze as her head turned in his direction and saw the boy. Warmth filled her expression as she
greeted him, “Hayden, you’re here. But why are you injured?”
Seeing the bandages around his forehead, Anna scowled in concern.
Colton took her distressed look in mind as he stepped forward to get her attention. “Mom, don’t you remember that
you were involved in an accident?”
His words refreshed her memory. I’ve experienced a car accident. No wonder it hurts.
“I remember it. A truck was speeding at us,” Anna answered slowly.
Colton sighed in relief to see she could remember what happened. “Yes, you broke your leg and hit your head hard
in the accident. Nicky has done the surgery on you. Even if you’re fine now, it will hurt nevertheless.”
Anna let out a sigh as her son’s voice reached her. As she recalled something, she scanned around the room for
Wendy, but her daughter was nowhere to be found, so she asked, “Where’s Wendy?”
He explained, “She has been crying since last night and ended up falling asleep as she was exhausted. I made her
rest in the back room, but she’ll come to see you once she’s awake.”
Knowing Wendy was fine, Anna nodded as her worries were lifted.

Colton had been carrying the heavy burden of the eldest son of the Gardner Family since he was born. As for
Wendy, she was pampered with love and care by her family since her youth, so Anna was more worried about her.
“Mom, the driver was killed instantly in the accident,” Colton informed as he watched his mother.
Anna stiffened as a twinge of sadness flashed across her eyes. She never expected to hear such news.
She lowered her gaze as she digested the news. “It’s an accident, and the blame belongs to the truck driver for
running the red light. Please give the driver’s family some money as a token of condolences on my behalf.”
Colton studied the look on her face before he added, “Are you sure it’s an accident?”
Anna was surprised at first, but her face scrunched up in confusion later as she looked at him expectedly. “Are you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmimplying it’s a murder attempt?”
“This is just my guess, since the truck driver is still in the police station. They interrogated him many times, but his
answers were always the same, claiming he was tired at the moment and didn’t notice the car. However, I found
that five hundred thousand was transferred into his bank account within a few days based on my investigation.”
He explained everything to his mother as he initiated an investigation right after she was injured in the accident.
Nicole was listening to their conversation at the side and didn’t expect to learn about the complicated things in
between. She stepped forward and looked Colton in the eyes. “President Gardner, do you mean the truck driver did
it on purpose?”
Colton lowered his gaze and he nodded, not bothering to hide his boiling anger. “We’ll know after we check the
monitors of the road around that time.”
Nicole clenched her fists, but she felt the need to clear up the confusion, “President Gardner, who’s their target? Is
it Mrs. Gardner or Hayden?”
Her eyes betrayed no emotions, and it was as if she was trying her best to suppress her anger.
If the culprits were coming for Hayden, Nicole would suspect Lydia and Queenie. However, she doubted Queenie
would harm Anna as Queenie was marrying Colton soon. After all, if something bad happened to Anna, the
marriage would be postponed for sure.
