âHorace, are you okay?â Ariana called out, as she kicked the back of the driverâs seat.
He didnât respond either.
He must have fainted.
Just then, Ariana felt Theodoreâs head, which was leaning against her shoulder, move slightly.
She could hear him breathing heavily.
âAre you okay, Theodore?â Ariana exclaimed.
âYeah,â he wheezed.
Theodore didnât look well.
His forehead was bleeding and his face looked pale.
But luckily he had regained consciousness.
âThe carâs turned over.
Letâs find a way to get out.
â Ariana wiped the blood from his temples and looked at him worriedly.
He closed his eyes and tried to collect himself.
âYou try to get out first.
Thereâs a red button beside the door.
Press it and the door should open,â he said in a hoarse voice.
He loosened his grip on Ariana and gently pushed her waist to help her toward the door.
With great effort, she managed to unfasten her seatbelt and get to the door.
She pressed the red button.
Luckily, although the door was damaged, it could still be opened.
She crawled out.
It was dark outside, and there were only a few dim streetlights to light the road.
There was a cold wind, and Ariana shivered.
As soon as she got out of the car, she turned back to Theodore and said, âIâll pull you out.
â
She grabbed Theodoreâs hand firmly and tried to pull him out but he didnât budge.

âAre you stuck?â She was getting so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.
She stuck her head inside the car and tried to pull his legs.
Still, she couldnât get him out.
âJust go.
Donât worry about me.
â
There was pressure in his chest, and he coughed.
He wanted to order Ariana to leave without him, but his words got weaker and weaker.
âJust a minute.
Iâll wake up Horace.
Heâs strong enough to pull you out.
â Ariana ran around to the driverâs seat.
Horaceâs face was covered in blood and his eyes were closed tightly.
He was slumped and motionless.
Ariana reached her shaking hand out toward him to feel his breath.
She let out a sigh of relief when she realized he was still breathing.
She called out Horaceâs name a few times to wake him up, but he didnât respond.
Ariana had no idea what to do.
Just as she was at a total loss, she caught a glimpse of her bag.
She pulled it out of the gap between the seats.
She opened the bag and murmured, âPlease donât be brokenâ¦â
She took out her phone and clicked on the screen.
It still worked!
She almost cried with joy.
She reassured Theodore, âHang in there.
Donât go back to sleep.
Iâll find someone to save us right now.
â
She tapped the emergency call button and was about to dial.
But just then, Theodore seemed to see something terrible.
