Putting on a worried expression, I ran toward them and yelled in panic, "Honey, are you all right?"
When he saw me, there was a rage in his eyes. He yelled at me angrily, "I've told you to come immediately! Do you want to see me dead?"
I pretended to be aggravated and wiped away the nonexistent tears. Then with a shaky tone, I said, "After I received your phone, I immediately rushed over here. Unfortunately, on the way here, I got stuck in a traffic jam. I could not do anything about it."
"You damn bitch! I could just …." Fred raised his hand, ready to slap me, but when he saw a traffic police come toward them to take their statement, he put his hand down. Then he told me not to say a word.
As soon as the traffic police arrived in front of us, he covered his nose and asked, "Who drives the car?" Then he signaled to the other police to bring the breathalyzer here.
Megan and Fred looked at each other, but they did not say anything
I decided to strike first, so I immediately said, "Officer, my husband did not do it on purpose. Please, don't arrest him. He is a law-bidding citizen, not a criminal."
