Chapter 20 Just moments ago, Maverick had seemed calm and collected, but now he was suddenly tense and excited. He grabbed his assistant's arm and pressed urgently, "Where is she? Where is Rae? Tell me quickly." "A village in the southwest," the assistant replied, feeling nauseous from being shaken. His face lit up with joy, and he immediately strode out. A few shareholders tried to stop him when they saw this. Maverick actually threw a punch and knocked down the nearest person. In his heart, there was only Raelynn; nothing else mattered to him. Maverick walked straight out of the Joyner Group and hurriedly drove to the airport. He sped all the way, and when he ran a yellow light at an intersection, a large truck doing the same crashed into him, pushing his Maybach to the side of the road and crushing it out of shape. The seat trapped his leg. He desperately unfastened his seatbelt and tried to pull his leg out, but the harder he pulled, the more tightly it was stuck. Within just a few minutes, his leg was swollen, and blood soaked through his pants. Fortunately, rescue arrived in time and pulled him out of the car. Before the rescuers could lift him onto the ambulance, he struggled to get down and limped forward. "Don't stop me, I have to find my wife." Maverick glared angrily at the medical staff chasing after him, ordering them to get out of his way. "Sir, your leg needs immediate treatment, or you risk amputation," the medical staff advised kindly. Maverick ignored them and walked straight ahead. The only thought in his mind now was to find Raelynn. For more than a year without Raelynn, every day had felt like a year to him, and he could neither eat nor sleep in peace. "Wife, wait for me to find you," Maverick murmured softly. The next second, he collapsed to the ground. He tried several times to get up, but was too weak, and could only let himself be taken to the hospital. Maverick refused to cooperate with treatment; all he wanted was to be discharged as soon as possible to look for Rae- lynn. "Let me out of the hospital, I need to find my wife." 0.0 % 10:35 "Get out of my way!" "Don't touch me!" Maverick got out of bed again and again, fell to the ground again and again, and was carried back to bed each time. When Carol arrived, she saw Maverick acting like a madman. With a dark expression, she demanded the doctors give Maverick a sedative and force him to receive treatment. Maverick was tied to the bed, glaring fiercely at Carol, all his former composure gone. "Let me go find Rae. What right do you have to let them tie me up?" "Mom, you couldn't keep your own husband, and now you want Rae to lose me too?" Maverick lost all reason, speaking without thinking and hitting Carol where it hurt. "Let me go find Rae." Smack. Carol slapped Maverick hard, her eyes red as she looked at him. "Maverick, you have disappointed me so much. No one is stopping you from finding Rae; it's you who can't pull yourself together." "Everything that happened is your own doing. If you could have stayed rational, you wouldn't have gotten into an ac- cident and wouldn't be in the hospital now: You can't even walk-are you planning to crawl to find her?" Carol was shaking with anger and couldn't help but slap Maverick again. "If I had known you would turn out like this, I would have stopped Rae from marrying you. Think about it yourself. I'm done with you!" Carol turned and left, slamming the hospital room door behind her. Maverick stood there in a daze, only now realizing that he had hurt Carol. From that day on, Maverick actively cooperated with his treatment, and his legs healed better than expected. Soon, he was able to get out of bed and move around. The moment he was discharged from the hospital, he set out to find Raelynn. 55.4 % 10:35
