“Leilani, your taste is not bad.”
He wondered many times. Would she taste spicy because she was so feisty?
Her smell was like poppy flowers. It was the smell that made him addicted to it, numbing all his nerves, and healing his wounds.
He had no more regrets after this.
Leilani grabbed Andrew’s sleeves, subconsciously. She didn’t push his away but looked at him with the complaint, “I’m not pepper.”
Andrew laughed out. He took a look. Jamis was back from the talk with the custodian.
It was getting late. Andrew had to go back to the hospital. Leilani would visit Charles there.
They got in the car to return to the hospital. Andres had a complex feeling on her way here. She had no mood to look at the views. She still got mixed feelings on the way back. Andrew was next to her, but she felt he was slipping away.
Swoosh-
Jamie opened the window, “Leilani, this is a mountain road. We’re taking a Z path. You might get car sick. I’ll open the window so you can get some fresh air.”
Leilani hummed. She didn’t feel it until after Jamie mentioned car sickness. She wanted to throw up. Looking outside, she could see the roads lower, looking from a distance, the road is in the S shape. The roads were winding.
The road was not broad. It was a mountain on one side and a handrail on the other. Looking outside, one would clearly see the views downhills. The plants were green. There was a creek, and one could hear the water if listening carefully.
“The view is lovely, isn’t it?”
Leilani nodded, “It is.”
“Do you want to pick one tomb? It’s a matter of time…”
Andrew put his hands behind his head, thinking about the kiss. He was so content. It was not that he wished for her death. But after she died, it would be nice to stay in the same cemetery.
Leilani was about to glare when she felt the fierce shaking of the car.
Through the rear-end mirror, she saw a white truck that was so close to them.
“It’s that car.”
Jamie held the handwheel and stepped the brake, so the white truck could go first.
But the truck didn’t surpass them. The driver hit them again since his truck was bigger.
The first time was innocent; this was deliberate.
“driver faster.”
Andrew leaned over to protect Leilani and buckled her up. He knew the car was targeting them. Their car was next to the handrail. If the truck kept hitting them, they would fly off it and go down the cliff.
“Who’s it?”
Leilani grabbed the handrail on top of the car. She was fluttered. This was not the last time in B Country. The brake went wrong. But they were next to the sea. They had a chance when they fell. But they were next to the cliff now. If they dropped, there was zero survival chance.
Andrew got closer to Leilani because of the shaking. He didn’t have many enemies, and his sworn enemy was James. But he was in B Country, and his memory was erased. He was unlikely to be here.
He couldn’t think of anyone except James. Jamie stepped on the oil. He was hoping for a narrow escape. The car flew off.
The truck was large but heavy. So it was slower than the car. But it went after them soon after the adjusting.
Andrew looked back, “Is it you they’re after?”
Andrew was half-buried in the ground. Any of his enemies wouldn’t go to the trouble if they did some research and knew he was dying.
Leilani got serious. The car was driving too fast. And the road was bumpy. She felt butterflies in her stomach. She couldn’t deny that the truck was after her. This wasn’t her first time getting in danger. But she couldn’t think of who.
Who hated her so much to kill her?
Bang. The driver was desperate. He drove madly fast, ignoring how bumpy the road was. Bang.
The truck hit the car so hard. Leilani knew the car had no shape.
Bang The car was shaking fiercely. There was so much force that whoever in the car hit the glass. Leilani felt dizzy, and the world started spinning around.
She felt blood dripping from her forehead. It drew over here long eyelashes. And her vision got fuzzy.
Andrew was no better. He was flung to the back of the passenger’s seat, and his head hit the glass window. The window was immediately red.
“Sir, are you alright?” Jamie asked in a hurry. They would certainly fly if it went on. So he speeded up. Although he was driving a sports car, he wouldn’t drive too fast, considering the safety of Andrew and Leilani.
But a truck driver increased his speed too. He was apparently prepared.
In front of them was a right turn with a big angle. Jamie speeded up while holding the driver’s wheel tightly.
The car turned right. The car was fast, and Jamie didn’t turn the wheel in time. And the car went through the fence and flew.
Bamford’s group.
There was news on the giant screen on the first floor.
“Around A road, a major car accident just occurred. On the way from the cemetery to the town, a silver sports car fell off the cliff. We’re certain there is one deceased. The causes of the accident are to be determined…”
The news was live. But a man rushed out like the wind. He got in the car door that was pulled open for him.
“Hurry!”
Waylen roared once and once. The car couldn’t go any faster in the race of life.
A few minutes earlier:
Tinder rushed into the conference room with a stern look to report to Waylen, “Mrs. Bamford was in a car accident while she was back from the cemetery with Andrew. The car went off the cliff…”
Before he heard Tinder out, he left dozens of managers in the meeting room and went out like a mad man.
The sports car went over, ignoring the red light.
He almost hit a big truck…
The car was racing with many transportation police cars following. He completely ignored the traffic rules and disrupted the traffic order. It was lucky that no accident was caused.
The traffic followed Waylen to the hospital. Tinder sent his men to handle the tickets and followed Waylen to the emergency operation room.
His collar grabbed a doctor that just exited the emergency room.
“Where are the injured in the car accident?”
Waylen stared at the young male doctor with crimson eyes. Blood almost came out of them.
The doctor pointed at another emergency operation room.
Waylen looked up. The light on top of the room was out. It meant the operation was over…
He trembled all over his body. He suddenly lost his strength. He turned flattered. For the 20 odd years in his life, this was the first time he was so worried that he forgot how to breathe.
He was trembling and shaking. He couldn’t continue standing.
He was afraid to come in. He was terrified to see what he couldn’t bear. And he was anxious to get in to check on Leilani.
The conflictions were heavy balls around his feet that dragged him.
He spent all the strength walking to the emergency room and kicked the door open.
It was a huge noise, and the nurse who didn’t leave dropped her stuff in a shock.
He didn’t have to find the person on the table with white cloth covered on the body. While looking down, the belly was bulging.
What happened to her?
Why was she covered in white cloth?
No, no, she couldn’t die, not without his permission.
Why would they put a white cloth on top of her? She would suffocate…
“Are you related to the deceased?” The nurse was in shock. Waylen looked horrible and barged in like he would kill anyone anytime.
“Get off my way!” Waylen pushed the nurse off.
