Chapter 315: Doesnโt Even Know
Santiago was pulled out of the wrecked car.
โMr. Santiago, are you okay?โ
โHeโs still awake. His pupils look normalโฆโ
โHis forehead is bleedingโmight be a concussion.โ
โTreat him right away!โ
The organizers had the best medical team ready for accidents. They rushed Santiago to the medical tent. Amanda and Harry ran after him.
But a doctor stopped them at the entrance.
โDoctor, heโs our friend. Is he badly hurt?โ
โLuckily, he protected himself at the critical moment, and the carโs safety features worked. Weโre treating him now. His concussion is serious, and he needs stitches on his forehead.โ
โThank you, doctor!โ
Hearing Santiago wasnโt in life-threatening danger, Amanda and Harry finally relaxed.
โGoodโฆ I was so scared. That road, at that speed, in the darkโฆ I thought something terrible would happen.โ
โDonโt worry, Harry. Santiago isnโt stupid. That car isnโt just fastโitโs reinforced for safety, too.โ
Still, that multimillion-dollar Lamborghini was now scrap metal. But for the heirs of billion-dollar companies, it didnโt matter. The only thing that mattered was that Santiago was alive.
Harry let out a quiet sigh. โIโve seen him win so many trophies, but Iโve never seen him make such a huge mistake. What happened?โ
โItโs probably because of his sister. I shouldโve expected it. This track is too dangerous. If he canโt focus fully, he shouldnโt race.โ Amanda, usually quiet, spoke more than usual, regret on her face.
All they could do now was wait for Santiago to wake up. Harry frowned, thinking.
โBy the wayโฆ since Tildaโs his sister, why isnโt she here? Something this serious happened.โ
โIโฆ donโt know,โ Amanda frowned slightly. โMaybe she doesnโt know where he is. Iโll go find her! She must be worried sick. Heโs her brother after all.โ
โWait. Iโll just text her.โ
Amanda pulled out her phone and quickly texted Tilda. She told her about Santiago and where he was and asked her to come immediately.
The reply shocked them.
โIโm not coming.โ
That was all she said.
Amanda stared. She thought she typed it wrong. โWaitโฆ Tilda, are you really not coming?โ
โYeah. And tell Santiago thisโthe Jensons have been hiding the truth from him. Iโve cut ties with them. From now on, heโd better not come looking for me, no matter what.โ
Boom.
Amanda and Harry stared at the screen, speechless. No matter how many messages Amanda sent, Tilda never replied again.
โAmandaโฆ am I reading this right? Santiagoโs long-lost sister of 19 years actually cut ties with the Jensons? And Santiago doesnโt even know?โ
Harry swallowed hard. He felt as if heโd just learned a huge secret.
โOh, Godโฆ How do we tell Santiago this later?โ
โNo wonderโฆ when Tilda saw him earlier, she didnโt act as if she was seeing her brother.โ Amandaโs eyes darkened with understanding.
โAmanda, should we tell Santiago?โ
She paused before saying, โWe have to. This is too big to hide. But donโt say more than needed. Itโs the Jensonsโ family matterโwe shouldnโt get more involved.โ
โThenโฆ you tell him. I donโt have the courage.โ
โGosh, Harry, seriously?โ
โSorry. Iโm scared!โ
Amanda pressed her hand to her forehead. How did Santiago end up with such an idiot friend? Seriously, worst luck ever!
Santiago woke up to the sharp smell of antiseptic.
โCough, coughโฆ Whereโฆ am Iโฆโ
โSantiago! Thank God, youโre awake!โ Amanda and Harry rushed to him.
โRight, I was racingโฆ and my carโฆ flippedโฆ Ahh!โ
His foggy mind slowly remembered the crash. Memories hit him all at once. Pain shot through his body.
โThe doctor says you need to rest. Youโre lucky. Waking up this fast means no serious problems.โ
โYou idiot! I told you to call me โMr. Jenson.โ Did you forget Iโm your mentor? You think you can just call me Santiago?โ Santiago rolled his eyes.
Harry mumbled, โYou littleโฆ Fine. Since youโre hurt, Iโll let it slide this time!โ
