Screech!The tires screeched loudly as they drifted on the road.Carson was very near to Everly, so close that she could see his long eyelashes. He controlled the car like a pro and expertly swerved across the fleet of cars."Okay. You may continue," Carson said, letting Everly take over the wheel.He stared at her as he finished speaking. Everly would never forget the look on his face.…Back to the present in Cannesville, Everly was looking at the traffic in front of her as she drove. Her speed was unwavering.Ever since that drifting experience with Carson, she had stopped being brave. Today, however…Mimicking Carson, Everly gripped the steering wheel hard.Screech!She swerved around the oncoming traffic and successfully avoided all the cars.Did she get away?Everly was about to look in the rearview mirror, suddenly…Bang!Another violent crash.The truck kept coming. The airbag popped out as the Masheruti was rammed hard against the curb of the road.Everly could
Bang!The truck slammed into the alley, but it could not get in.Carson was protecting Everly in his arms. The truck's impact on the walls had caused a mini shockwave around, causing both of them to fall to the ground."Humph!" Carson grunted."What's wrong?" Everly quickly got out of his embrace and saw it…Carson's back was dripping with blood, and there was a large shard of beer bottle glass on the ground on the side.The glass fragments were stabbed into Carson's back and were stained with his blood."Carson..." Everly looked at his wound. She wanted to help him, but she was afraid she would just make his injury worse.Her hands were trembling violently as tears flowed out of her eyes. She could only call out his name."I'm fine, don't worry," said Carson. He got up from the ground and quickly stood in front of Everly, looking at the alley in front of him.Everly followed his line of sight and saw a man with a hood standing at the entrance of the alley. He walked towards
Carson held Everly's hand tightly. There was blood flowing down all over him. Everly's arm was soaked with his blood as well.The man in the helmet nodded as he looked at Carson. "It seems like you've made up your mind. What a touching moment. Very well, I shall do you a favor, and you can die together with her as well!"The man laughed lightly and walked over one step at a time, waving the iron rod in his hand intimidatingly as he approached them.Everly's hand was still tightly held by Carson. He suddenly said to her, "Did you see the gap left by the truck earlier? Front left."Everly glanced over subconsciously and looked at Carson's back."When he comes, I'll drag him down while you run and escape through that gap. Got it?" Carson said, his voice was hoarse and sounded very weak. Cold sweat ran down his forehead and dripped down his cheeks."No! This is none of your business, Carson! Our relationship had ended many years ago. What are you doing?! Get out of here!" Everly said
Everly moved forward toward the exit as Carson pushed her. She turned her head and looked back one last time and saw him being entangled with the man.At this moment, all the fond memories of her and Carson came rushing back into her head.It was not until now that she finally realized that they were once happy together.The sound of a siren was heard. Robbie had arrived with the police!"Mister Baxter!" He rushed over to Carson immediately."Hands in the air! Don't move!" The police officers came in and quickly brought the situation under control."Carson..." Everly cried as she ran over.Carson was being held by Robbie. He stretched his bloody hand when he saw Everly and touched her face. In those dark eyes of his, there was only her reflection. Seeing that she was safe, he finally breathed a sigh of relief."Carson!""Mister Baxter!"…The culprit was arrested by the police officers. Everly and the rest were on their way to the hospital in an ambulance.Her heart ached a
"Yes. Miss Pettis, Mister Baxter will never put you in danger. Whatever he did, it was all for you. Did you really think that he has no backup plan?" Robbie said as he looked at Everly helplesslyEverly could not help but remember everything before.His escape plan, as well as his action, everything seemed to add up."Mister Baxter has always been a rational person. I could see it clearly, being by his side for so many years. He can be said to be terribly rational, and there is nothing in the world that could move him, except you," Robbie said."Miss Pettis, every moment with you, Mister Baxter has been reckless with himself. He's willing to give you whatever you want. His feelings for you are deeper than you can ever imagine," Robbie continued.Everly recalled whatever happened in the past few days as she listened to Robbie.Carson's incessant pursuit of her, his perseverance…The night he had set fireworks for her…Everly's heart felt even more hurt now.Tears started flowin
"Miss Alexander, that's not true. Back then, Mister Baxter had wrongfully imprisoned Miss Pettis. He was the one who was at fault initially," said Robbie. He could not let Angelica blame Everly for everything."In fact, the both of them are in love. There were just too many misunderstandings between them.""Miss Alexander, please calm down. There was someone out there trying to kill Miss Pettis. We have to find the culprit. There's no use being angry with her right now!" Robbie continued.However, Angelica was not persuaded. "I don't care what happened to them back then. I just know that since she appeared, my son has been in trouble over and over again! All because of her!" she scolded Everly while pointing at her."Get out of here!"Angelica continued, "You don't have any right to be here! I'm Carson's mother, and I can take care of him. He doesn't need you here. Get out!""Please don't be so angry, Miss Alexander. You'll grow older like this," said Robbie. He looked at Everly
In a blink of an eye, Annie and Austin had arrived at the Cannesville Primary Hospital's surgical department. Annie was about to call Robbie when she saw him from afar, but he quickly gave her the silent hand gesture and quickly glanced at Angelica. He then walked quickly in their direction."Robbie, now..."Before Annie could finish her sentence, she was dragged into a corner by Robbie.Austin could not hold it any longer. He asked, "Robbie, what happened? Where's Everly?"Annie also nodded and said, "Who is in the operating room? Isn't it…"She did not complete her words, but she was obviously asking if it was Everly."Don't worry, the person in the operating room is not Miss Pettis, but Mister Baxter. You should already know about the car accident. It was Mister Baxter who saved Miss Pettis, but he got badly injured in the process," Robbie said assuringly.Austin breathed a sigh of relief, but Annie was still looking anxious. She asked, "Where's Everly? Why isn't she with you
Both Annie and Austin were walking quickly. They eventually reached the exit door at the end.Austin reached out and pushed the door open. As the two of them entered the door, the sensor light lit up, illuminating everything inside.Following the bloodstains earlier, Annie saw a pair of feet at the end of the trail.Those feet were bare, with scars on them. There were even stones and little glass fragments penetrating through the skin, causing a lot of bleeding."Everly!" Annie exclaimed.Everly was huddled in a corner alone. Just as the middle-aged lady had said, her body was drenched in blood, forming a little red pool around her on the floor where she sat.Everly raised her head as she heard Annie's voice. Her forehead was bleeding as well, staining half of her face.She was still crying, tears flowing out of her eyes incessantly."Everly!" Austin called out to her in a frightened tone.He immediately went over to carry her up and headed towards the doctor's office."Everl
