Chapter 900
ndscape.
Very few people were out on a cold winter night. Because of New Year’s Day, colorful lights were everywhere. The whole world looked quiet and gentle.
It was painstakingly quiet in the car. Ethan wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to start.
Meanwhile, Olivia watched the scenery outside the window, deep in thought.
They were about to round a corner. Ethan slowed down ahead of time.
Just then, a vehicle from another lane hurtled toward them. Aimed at Ethan’s car, it sped toward them with abandon.
Startled by the sudden turn of events, Ethan hastily turned the steering wheel, moving the car onto the pedestrian lane at the side to avoid the vehicle.
Ethan had already reacted quickly, but when the vehicle sped toward them, it still grazed the side of the driver’s seat
The vehicle was a middle-sized truck. With fearspower, it rammed into their car diagonally, shoving the car even further.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe closed glass doors of a shop were right in front of them. The car had gone out of control.
Everything happened too fast. When Olivia registered what was happening, she heard Ethan’s shout.
“Liv, watch out!”
Olivia’s vision turned black.
Right after that, she heard a loud noise caused by a collision. The noise almost shattered her eardrums.
She squeezed her eyes shut and heard the sound of glass breaking.
Ethan had thrown himself at her before she realized it. She only felt a firm muscular wall shielding her from harm.
The glass on the windscreen and the door were completely shattered. She felt sof the shards cutting her hand.
It hurt
But she couldn’t be bothered about that. Because of the intense movement, the airbags puffed out, enveloping her firmly.
A moment later, there was no movement in the car. She felt warm liquid dripping on her cheek.
Olivia opened her eyes, meeting the gaze of the man right in front of her.
His forehead was injured. Blood ran along his chin, dripping onto Olivia’s cheek in the end.
It was blood. Olivia widened her eyes in fear.
Once again, the image of Mona dying flashed across her mind. She looked at Ethan’s face.
His forehead was injured, and the blood was coming from his forehead.
Olivia’s eyes widened. The injury on Ethan’s face wasn’t the worst.
Many glass shards were embedded in his back, and he looked like a grueshedgehog
He had used his body to shield her from the glass shards.
“Ethan, how are you feeling?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere were gunshots outside, but Olivia couldn’t register those sounds anymore. Her whole focus was on Ethan’s bloody body.
Her body was secured in place, so she couldn’t move.
She could only watch as Ethan’s blood dripped onto her face, trailing down her chin and then slowly tracing the line of her neck.
“I-I’m fine.”
He forced a weak smile at her. Then, he reached out and slowly caressed Olivia’s face
The back of his well-defined hand was also covered in glass shards. But he didn’t seem to notice them as he wiped away the blood on her face.
“I-If I died, would you shed a tear for me?”
Olivia’s whole body was frozen.
Even at that moment, she couldn’t believe that the man covered in injuries was the Ethan she knew.
To her he had always been something akin to a deity. How did he turn out like this?
Her lips quivered subconsciously. She wanted to do something, but she was powerless.
It was just like that twith Mona.
They had used their bodies as a shield to protect her, yet she could only watch as the scenes unfolded before her.
Tears streamed down her face. “No. You won’t die.”
