How to Fix a Broken Heart

Chapter 62

SIXTY-TWO

Professor Princeton was about to walk into the betting shop when his daughter called. He could hear the panic in her voice.

‘Daddy, it’s me. You’ve got to come quick. Mummy’s had an accident, she’s fallen off her horse at Pearl’s yard. I’m here with Josh. The ambulance is here. She’s not speaking and you know how much she speaks.’

‘Oh, God. OK. Calm down, darling. There’s no point me coming to you there, it will take too long. Ask the paramedic which hospital he is taking her to, follow with Josh and I’ll meet you all there as soon as I can.’

As he put the phone down, he saw Maya’s name flash up on the screen. Dumping her call, he flagged a taxi.
