It was a comedy. Grace was laughing her head off. From the corners of her eyes, she found she had drunk half a cup of the coffee!
How careless of her! She had decided not to drink coffee these days. She tapped her head lightly. Then she remembered that her handbag was still in the kitchen. She stood up and walked to the kitchen with her coffee. She picked up her handbag, put the coffee on the table, closed the door, and walked out.
In the bathroom, Bailee was standing against the wall, her body stiffened. She was biting her lips so tight that her lips turned purple.
Her heart had been pounding violently when she decided to do the thing. Now that she had done it, her heart was still pounding violently. She was scared yet excited.
Charlie called Grace, "I have an important conference this evening. I can't pick you up. You'll have to go home by yourself. Be safe."
Grace said OK. Then she picked up her car keys and walked to her car.
It was 8:00 p.m., the peak commuting hour. Grace was driving very slowly. Every evening at this time, if Grace had to drive on her own, she drove especially slow.
However, she felt there was something wrong with her head. She felt a little dizzy as if the car was swaying along.
Could it be that she was dazzled?
Grace gripped the steering wheel tightly and shook her head hard. She tried to sober herself up.
But she could only see clearly for a few seconds. Soon, her eyes were blurred again. Everything turned red in her eyes. She couldn't see anything clearly.
She felt extremely dizzy, but her consciousness was still there.
She felt that she must not keep on driving. She had to stop the car.
Then she shook her head again. She searched for the brake with her foot. Then, suddenly, she slammed her foot down!
However, instead of stopping, the car sped up and rushed out. In her dizziness, she mistook the gas pedal for the brake!
There were many cars on the road. As soon as she stepped on the gas pedal, her car rammed forward and crashed into the car in front of hers!
