"The car seems to have broken down," Luke replied with uncertainty and tried to start the car again.
Ten seconds later, the car still remained stationary so Luke was certain the car had indeed broken
down. He turned his head and said to Yvonne, "Madam, the car broke down. Iâll go take a look."
"Okay." Yvonne nodded.
Luke opened the door and went down.
Yvonne sat in the car and waited. After waiting for about ten minutes, she got out of the car when
she realized that Luke was not done yet.
"Luke, itâs not done yet?"
Luke was inspecting the car parts. When he heard Yvonne's question, he looked up from the hood
of the car. "No, the engine is broken."
"Can you fix it?" Yvonne approached him and asked again.
Luke shook his head solemnly. "Without professional tools, I canât really fix it now. Madam, we can
only call a tow truck."
"Okay, go ahead." Yvonne smiled emphatically.
Luke agreed and took his cell phone out to make the call.
After the call, he bowed apologetically to Yvonne." Madam, I'll wait for the trailer to come, you..."
Yvonne waved her hand and said calmly, "It's okay, I'll just take a taxi home."
Luke apologized again, "I'm really sorry, madam."
"It's okay. You can wait here then, I'll make a move first." Yvonne smiled indifferently and took her
bag out of the car. She straddled it on her shoulders and walked towards the parking lot exit.
There was a bus station right outside. Yvonne looked a t the stop sign and checked which bus she
was going t o take before getting her bag to prepare the coins for the bus fare later.
However, before she could take her money out, a figure suddenly flashed from the side and quickly
pulled her bag. The figure pushed her away and ran off.
Yvonne was hit by the stop sign. Her shoulder was in pain and her head was a little dizzy.
But she did not have time to care about it. After shaking her head, she yelled anxiously, "Help!
Thief!"
She chased after the figure.
While chasing, she also asked the passerby in front to help stop the thief, or call the police.
Unfortunately, no one helped.
Yvonne felt deeply disappointed but she did not give u p on her own. She was chasing the thief with
all her strength.
When they got to an intersection, the thief who was in front of her suddenly dropped the bag on the
sidewalk before getting into the crowd and disappearing quickly.
Yvonne didn't know why the person suddenly did that, but she didnât think much about it. She
thought that the person was probably worried that he or she might be captured by her and sent to
the police station, so that was why her bag was dropped off midway. 1
She secretly cursed the thief, and after looking around to verify that there were no incoming cars,
she went to the sidewalk to pick up her bag.
But the moment she walked to the sidewalk and bent down to pick up her bag, a black car parked at
the intersection not too far away suddenly started its engine. The lights came on, and it quickly
drove towards her.
"Be careful!"
"Huh?" Yvonne didn't realize what was happening, but she felt a figure rushing towards her and
hugging her before they rolled into the green belt on the side of the road, i
Boom!
There was a loud noise.
The black car hit the railing of the green belt and broke it. A section of the railing flew out and
landed beside Yvonne.
Yvonne was so scared that she screamed. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her whole body was
shaking.
The man who saved her life was still on top of her and he noticed her fear. He looked down and saw
that her face was pale and he said softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid!"
Yvonne opened her eyes fearfully when she heard a familiar voice. "Elliot?"
"It's me!" Elliot got up from her and stretched out a hand to pull her up too.
After Yvonne got up, she was still a little frightened." Just... what just happened?"
"A car was about to hit you earlier and fortunately I saw it in time. Otherwise..." Elliot didn't go on,
but his beautiful and charming face was cold as ice.
When Yvonne heard that there was a car that was about to hit her, she was afraid and she gulped.
"So the sound just now was..."
"Yeah." Elliot nodded as he looked in front of him.
Yvonne followed his gaze and saw several people in front of her. In the middle of the crowd, a car
with a smashed front window was there. The hood of the car was still smoking, and the wreckage of
the railings and windows on the ground were scattered all over. It was obvious that when the car
crashed, it was probably speeding fast, or the impact wouldn't have been so serious.
She wondered how the driver or the passenger in the car were...
As she was thinking about it, Yvonne suddenly caught a glimpse of Elliot walking towards the car.
She stretched out her hand to try to stop him but suddenly thought of something. She retracted her
hand back and went to look through her bag.
After getting her phone, she checked her location and quickly called the police station.
She then called the hospital and asked the hospital to send an ambulance.
After doing that, she put the phone back in her bag and hurried to Elliot.
Elliot was standing in front of the car and he opened the door.
When Yvonne saw this, her heart jumped. She squeezed through the crowd and walked up to him. '
Elliot, what are you doing? Donât touch it."
"I know what I'm doing." Elliot glanced at her gently and then raised the driver's head under her
suspicious gaze.
The driver looked terrible as his body was covered with glass shards, and even his face was so
badly injured that it was covered in blood and he looked
terrifying.
Yvonne glanced at him and she felt frightened. She didn't open her eyes and dared not look again.
"Is he all right? Is he still alive?" she asked cautiously.
Elliot retracted his hand and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to rub his fingers. He replied,
"Heâs not dead because the airbag saved his life, but he passed out."
"Then why did you just..."
"I want to see his face," Elliot narrowed his eyes and said with a deep expression.
Yvonne asked with a trembling voice, "You mean, this wasn't an accident? Did someone send this
driver?"
Elliot pursed his lips, "I'm just a little skeptical because when I rescued you earlier, I saw that the
driver was indeed going after you. By the way, why did you stop on the sidewalk?"
"So earlier today..." Yvonne told her about what happened after she got out of the hospital.
After Elliot heard about what happened, his face stiffened. "It's too much of a coincidence. The
person who grabbed the bag seemed to have deliberately led you to the sidewalk so that the driver
could hit you."
"Now that you said this, it seems like that was what happened." Yvonne felt chill on her back and
couldn't help but rub her arms.
Elliot grinned at her. "But fortunately, I got here in time."
Yvonne nodded. "Yes, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might be... But why would you come here?"
"Henry asked me to come to check my face, but Shane was in an operation so I came out to make
a call and heard your voice. Um...you were yelling about a thief s o I followed and saw the scene
just now." Elliot explained. 1
Yvonne said suddenly, "I see."
"By the way, did you call the police?" Elliot pointed to the car behind him.
Yvonne glanced at it too. "Iâve reported it and the police station has sent someone over. They
should be here soon."
"That's good." Elliot lifted his chin.
Yvonne bit her lip as her mind felt a little heavy." Elliot, who do you think it was? Whoâs trying to take
m y life?"
