A dilapidated truck, spewing black smoke, came barreling straight toward them.
“Watch out!”
Damien shoved Grace aside, using his own body to shield her.
The red roses traced a tragic arc through the air, scattering across the ground.
Time seemed to slow to a crawl.
Thrown off balance, Grace stumbled and looked back just in time to see the crazed truck getting closer and closer to Damien.
Her heart leaped into her throat!
“Damien!”
On the other side, Ethan was also stunned by the sudden turn of events.
When he recognized the twisted, frenzied face in the driver’s seat, he froze in shock.
Lilian!
Was she insane?!
Seeing the truck about to hit Damien and Grace, Ethan’s mind went blank, and his body moved before he could think, lunging forward!
“Grace!”
And in that same instant.
Lilian, in the driver’s seat, also saw the person rushing toward them.
It was Ethan.
The man she had loved for so many years, for whom she had given everything, only to be discarded like trash.
And now, he was trying to save Grace…
He was actually trying to save that bitch…
For the first, and last time, a flicker of hesitation and pain crossed Lilian’s bloodshot eyes.
She didn’t want to hurt him.
Even now, she still didn't want to hurt him.
In that split second, she suddenly wrenched the steering wheel.
The truck swerved at a bizarre angle, narrowly missing Damien and veering off its original path.
*CRASH—!*
A deafening bang echoed as the out-of-control truck slammed violently into a concrete utility pole on the side of the road.
The entire front of the truck caved in instantly, glass shattering everywhere.
