Fate's collision

At night, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind was howling and the fine raindrops were like countless sharp blades cutting through the dark sky, shrouding the whole city in a wet mist. There were only a few cars on the street, and the neon lights flickered faintly in the rain.

Adora's father was driving his car, and the car was full of laughter. Adora and his mother were excitedly discussing the upcoming family trip, and they were all looking forward to it. This sudden heavy rain did not seem to dampen their spirits. The rain hit the car window, blurring the view, and Adora's father had to slow down and hold on to the steering wheel.

At a bend, the road ahead was flooded with water. Adora's dad was nervous and slammed on the brakes. However, the road was slippery and the car still lost control and crashed into the guardrail. The violent collision broke the silence of the night.

"Ah!" The family of three screamed, thrown back into their seats by the force of the impact. A roar filled their ears and their hearts quickened. Adora could vaguely make out blurry shadows around them, but then there was silence.

At that critical moment, someone in a passing car heard the sound of the collision and quickly called the emergency number. A few minutes later, the sirens of the ambulance cut through the noise of the rainy night, and the paramedics quickly carried Adora and her family from the car.

Hospital

The sky was gradually clearing, the rain outside the window had stopped and the sun was shining through the clouds, casting a golden light. Adora's long lashes moved and her eyes opened. What she saw was a white ward, and the smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils. The anaesthetic wore off and the pain surged like a flood. She panicked, and the memory that came to her in an instant flashed like lightning - my parents! She turned her head with all her strength, but all she saw was emptiness, no trace of her parents. The biting cold made her shiver.

The nurse beside her noticed that she was awake and asked worriedly: "You're awake, are you still uncomfortable?

The girl tried to sit up, but was overcome by dizziness and fell weakly back onto the bed. Her voice was wrapped in the deep hoarseness she only had after waking up, and she was even more nervous and worried: "Where are my parents?"

"Don't worry, rest first. You are injured and need time to recover." The nurse said quietly and then adjusted the position of the bed for her.

"Your parents passed away in a car accident."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue that hit Adora's heart. Her face was full of disbelief, her mind was blank and he couldn't believe it. After a while she came to her senses and cried, her heart seemed to be torn apart and tears kept falling, as if telling of her longing for her parents.

"Your body is still recovering, don't be too sad." The nurse comforted Adora until he calmed down a little and called the doctor. When the doctor came to examine her, he found nothing wrong and told her to get some rest. After the doctor and nurse left, tears silently streamed down her sad face. This scene was witnessed by Raymond who was passing by the ward after visiting a friend.

"Hey, Patrick." Raymond locked eyes with Adora and touched the arm of the person next to him: "Look who that is?"

The man looked nonchalant: "Who?" He was wearing a black shirt, the hem of which was tucked neatly into his suit trousers. He was tall and straight, and his eyes, hidden under the lenses, were unfathomable, giving people the feeling that he was cold and noble. Raymond replied meaningfully: "Adora, the precious daughter of the S family, it seems that the news is true."

"What news?"

"Her family had a car accident, didn't you know? Adora's parents died and she was all that was left. The S family have such a big business and Adora is the only heir. There will be many wonderful shows to watch in the future.”

Patrick suddenly fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking. As the two were about to leave the hospital, the phone rang in the silent room.

"Ring, ring, ring--" Patrick raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the phone and spoke in a low voice.

"Dad, what's going on?"

The other end of the phone seemed very worried and a hurried voice came: "You go and marry the S family's daughter right now."

Patrick didn't seem to expect to hear this sentence. He turned his head and thought about it, and immediately guessed his father's intention. He was silent for a moment and then said: "Why?"

"You come back immediately!" Patrick's father's tone was harsh, and he hung up the phone immediately after speaking. Patrick remained silent. He bent his right leg slightly, and his slightly raised side face was full of absent-mindedness.

The S family is a wealthy family that enjoys a high reputation throughout the city. They control a lot of wealth and power, and they are one of the four big families in City A. The Y family, of which Patrick is a member, is also one of the four big families. Although Patrick is young, he is already one of the leaders of the company.

"Let's go, Patrick, go home and face your storm." Raymond put his hand on Patrick's shoulder and said teasingly.
