Ellie perked up. “Ryan, we’re saved p>
But Ryan’s expression didn’t lighten. He tightened his jaw, staring ahead. “Not yet p>
Ellie blinked at his words, then looked out the front window, realizing their car was slowing down but not fast enough, especially with a turn coming up ahead.
If they didn’t stop before the turn, they’d likely smash into the nearby building!
There was still danger!
“What do we do?” Ellie asked, panic rising in her voice.
Ryan clenched his jaw.
Just then, the driver’s side window of the car ahead rolled down, and Keira’s slender arm extended out, signaling them with a hand gesture.
“What’s she doing?” Ellie wondered, confusion washing over her.
Ryan didn’t answer; instead, he turned to Ellie and said firmly, “Hold on to something and brace yourself p>
“Okay!” she replied, but before she could fully process his words, she saw Keira slam the brakes!
Both cars screeched to a halt, the tires squealing against the pavement, but their vehicle still surged forward!
Ellie watched in horror as they hurtled toward the front…
If Keira hit the gas and swung the wheel, she’d be fine. But without any resistance, their car would crash head-on, still putting them in danger!
Ellie knew they were done for.
Keira might be skilled, but she wouldn’t risk her own life for theirs!
Squeezing her eyes shut, she braced for impact, knowing exactly what was about to happen. Then she heard the anticipated crash!
“Bang p>
Her body jolted violently, feeling as though the world had shaken apart.
It hurt like hell, but the expected death didn’t come.
Dazed, Ellie slowly opened her eyes, realizing the car’s airbags had deployed, her face buried in the cushion.
She quickly turned to check on Ryan.
For once, the usually composed man looked bewildered, his forehead bruised and dazed. He appeared slightly out of it.
“Ryan, are you okay?” Ellie shouted.
Ryan snapped back to reality.
His head throbbed, but surviving was what mattered most.
Suddenly, he remembered something and hurriedly unfastened his seatbelt, pushing the airbag off him. He forced the door open and climbed out of the car!
Once outside, he looked ahead.
The car that should have sped away had instead come to a stop, slamming into the building in front of them.
Keira had used her heavy SUV as a shield for them.
If their sports car had collided with the building, both he and Ellie would have been toast!
But Keira had absorbed the impact, saving their lives.
Ryan staggered slightly, wanting to check on Keira.
After such a crash, she had to be hurt!
But his legs felt weak, making it hard to move forward…
Taking a deep breath, he steadied himself. Just then, a car sped toward them, slamming to a stop beside their vehicle.
Lewis Horton jumped out and dashed toward the front car!
“Keira p>
There was a tremor in Lewis’s voice.
Ryan stiffened at the name, not sure why Keira’s striking face suddenly flashed in his mind.
His status was special, and although he kept a low profile, everyone aware of his father’s reputation wanted to connect with him.
So, beautiful women had surrounded him from a young age.
Keira was indeed stunning!
Yet, Ryan was practically immune to beauty, so he never paid much attention. But now, remembering how calm she’d been earlier, his heart raced.
Once his legs felt steadier, he was about to step closer to check on her when the driver’s side door swung open, and Keira emerged from the car.
Ryan let out a breath he didn’t know he’d been holding.
“Keira!” Lewis’s heart raced as he pulled her into an embrace. “How could you put yourself in such danger p>
He had already lost his grandmother; he couldn’t bear losing Keira, too!
Feeling his panic, Keira gently patted his shoulder. “I knew your car was modified; otherwise, I wouldn’t have done something so reckless p>
That was true—Lewis had customized the vehicle.
After discovering the South family’s potential threat, he had gone to great lengths for her safety. Who would’ve thought that today, his efforts would save Ryan and Ellie?
Once she was sure Lewis was okay, Keira said, “I need to check on Ryan’s car p>
She needed to figure out if this was intentional or just an accident!
Lewis nodded, letting her go.
