The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 388

“Don’t stress yourself out,” Alexa said softly. “Kids get sick all the time. It’s probably just the weather these last couple of nights…”

“If I’d noticed sooner, his fever wouldn’t be this high. He’s burning up.” Lorinda’s voice broke as she spoke, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Jasper’s sharp cries filled the car, and Catherine’s anxiety only grew. She kept glancing at the rearview mirror, handing Lorinda tissues to wipe her eyes.

Out of nowhere, the car jolted hard with a loud crash.

“Oh my god!” Alexa gasped. “Did we just get hit?”

Catherine’s whole body tensed. Instinctively, she pressed her hand to her lower belly. Luckily, they were slowing for a red light, so the impact wasn’t too bad.

They’d been sideswiped by an SUV that tried to cut into their lane at the last second. Catherine’s car hit the back corner of the SUV.

“Are you blind? Who taught you to drive?” The SUV driver jumped out, already shouting as he waved a hand at them.

Catherine undid her seatbelt and stepped out to face him. “You cut me off. This is on you.”

“If you can’t drive, don’t get behind the wheel. Didn’t your instructor teach you to yield?” the man snapped. His eyes dropped to Catherine’s belly, which was showing a little under her fitted cotton dress.

“Oh, so you’re pregnant? Get someone else out here to talk to me.”

Lorinda handed Jasper to Alexa and got out too. “Doesn’t matter who talks to you. You’re still at fault. We need to get to the hospital. Just give us your number and we’ll talk about compensation later.”

“Compensation? For what? Do you two even know what you’re saying?” The man wouldn’t let up. “Find someone reasonable. Any decent man would know to let others go first!”

He saw movement in the car and stepped closer. “Let whoever’s inside come out. Maybe there’s at least one reasonable person in your group.”

Lorinda blocked the door, refusing to let him get near.

“Let’s call the police. They’ll sort this out. Stop trying to dodge responsibility.”
