Frowning, Millie asked, “Do you think the guy did it on purpose?”
After pondering for a moment, Joan replied, “Perhaps. There were no other vehicles on the road, yet he veered straight toward the side of the road.”
Millie clenched her fists, her anger ignited by the man’s callous actions against her grandma.
“Do you remember the license plate number of the motorcycle?”

Turning to Joan, Millie inquired about the tand location of the motorcycle incident. The rural area had limited cars and surveillance cameras, but due to ongoing development, important roads were now monitored, offering hope of identifying the responsible party.

“Oh, it’s feeling much better. I heard about your grandmother’s accident. If I catch the person responsible, I’ll make sure they regret it.” Roland drew closer and glanced at the old woman resting on the bed.
“Are you planning to involve the police? There is a police officer in town, Tobin Nicolas, with whom I am very close. If you need to call the police, I’ll call him right away.”
Millie nodded and said, “Thank you.”
Half an hour later, Tobin arrived, taking out his notebook to make notes.
“The incident occurred around six o’clock in the evening, involving a motorcycle. It took place at Zaire Pass and the culprit was headed towards Walbrzych.”
