The driver drove the car.
"Mr. Vance, your health is precious. You should at least get a full-body checkup."
He massaged his temples and leaned back against the seat.
"Who's handling the accident scene?"
"Assistant Wright."
Ethan didn't speak again. He seemed utterly exhausted, leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed to rest.
The car drove all the way into a mansion nestled in the hills.

Ethan went inside.

"You can go."
The driver, however, seemed uneasy.

Those close to Ethan vaguely knew that he had a messy romantic past.
The top student of the school had once been dumped by a girl. He had been in agonizing pain, destitute and miserable for a whole year.
Ethan shot him a glare.
The driver immediately took the hint and left.
