to his messages. He must have been riddled with anxiety.
| sighed softly, then looked at Theo and said, "Next time, don't keep callingif I'm not picking up my calls. |

first person | call."
Theo snorted lightly. "Why must | follow everything you say? I'll just tell you now, don't ever turn off your phone
or put it on silent mode. If you do, | won't be as nice as | was the last time."
| giggled. To be honest, | liked it when he cared about me.
The phone vibrated, and | looked down at it. Shannon had messaged me.
Shannon: [Are you still in Limbia, Wanda? Jordan also left for Limbia yesterday.
Please helpkeep an eye on him. If he tries to pick up other women, letknow. I'll fly over immediately and
annihilate him.]

However, how would | know which part of Lambia he was headed to?
When Theo sawsmiling at my phone, he asked in suspicion, "Why are you so happy?"
"Shannon senta message. She said that Jordan is coming to Limbia too, so she askedto keep an eye on
him. If he tries to flirt with any girls, she'll fly over immediately and destroy him." Theo's eyes narrowed, and he
slammed his foot on the brakes. "You said Jordan is coming to Limbia too? When?"
Seeing his darkened expression, | stuttered and said, "Shannon said yesterday."
Theo furrowed his brows and turned the car around
I did not know what was happening and asked somewhat uneasily, "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
Bang!
There was a muffled sound. | still did not realize what was happening. A gloomy expression appeared on Theo's
face as he said, "Make sure your seatbelt is on properly."
The car was speeding up, and | started panicking. "Theo, what's going on..."
Before | could finish my sentence, there was another muffled sound.
The car was still speeding up, but I noticed that Theo was not stepping on the gas at all.
My face paled. | grabbed his arm and said in a shaky voice, "Step on the brakes, Theo."
"I've been stepping on the brakes the whole time."
He always had his foot on the brakes, but they were not working. He had lost control of the car, and it just kept
speeding forward.
Seeing that the car was about to crash, Theo turned the steering wheel desperately, but it was useless. The car
still crashed.
The powerful impact almost madefly out of my seat. When | regained my consciousness, | hurriedly leaned
over to check on Theo.
Blood was dripping from the corner of his lips, and half of his body seemed to have been hit by the barricade. |

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfind Tory. He'll find a way to save me."
Sensing danger approaching, | turned to look at the rearview mirror. Sure enough, there were several black cars
parked behind us.
Theo urgedto leave again. "Go now. Otherwise, neither of us will escape."
One of cars' doors wa beginning to open. | knew if | stayed, | would be captured too.
There would be no way we could be saved then.
| unbuckled my seatbelt without hesitation, opened the door, stooped down, and hid behind the barricade.
Several strong men got down from the cars and ran over, dragging Theo out of the car.
Theo had chosen to allow himself to bear the biggest impact in order to protect me. His injuries were relatively
severe, and he could not even stand on his own. The men did not seem to care that he was hurt and shoved him
into the car roughly.
