Chapter 177
Leah brushed the sand off her body and nodded as soon as she heard the words.
The both of them stood on the side of the road. They looked a little silly as they wore glowing headbands on their heads.
However, no one took the headbands off.
Han called the car rental and it did not take long for someone from the company to pick them up in a Porsche Cayenne.
Leah pouted when she saw the luxurious car. This was what men always do. Even if they were to be renting a car, it had to be a luxurious one.
“Let’s go.” Han said to Leah as he opened the car door.
The atmosphere was thick as neither spoke while they got into the car.
It was quite a distance going down the hill. They were still circling the ocean after Han had driven for five minutes.
The road circled down the hill on top of the ocean. There seemed to be a village in Dawnvile if they went further down.
Leah stared out the window.
She was thinking about how it would feel like to live in such an isolated place for her whole life.
“Hold tight.” Han said in a cold tone.
Leah was stunned for a moment. “Huh?”
Han stared closely at the rearview mirror and something flashed in his eyes. “We’re being followed.”
“Huh?” Not only was Leah surprised, but she was also shocked.
They were in Dawnville and were unfamiliar with their surroundings. Who in the world would want to follow them out of boredom?
Leah grabbed tightly onto her seat and turned around. There was a white van with no license plate driving so fast as if it was going to crash into them.
Leah’s face turned pale as soon as she knew how fast the van was going. It was going to catch up to them.
She grabbed the armrest and frowned. “Why do you have so many enemies, Han? They even came to Dawnville just to go after you.”
Han did not answer her. He turned the steering wheel with full force as if driving a racing car.
The car was going too fast. Leah’s heart pounded like a runaway horse. Leah tried her best not to scream.
However, the van behind them kept tailing them. Han could not get rid of it no matter how much he swerved the car.
Leah was feeling a little anxious.
Han noticed her at that moment and comforted her, “Don’t worry. We’ll be fine as long as we reach the highway.”
Leah nodded and asked, “Do you know who’s driving the van?”
That person must have hated Han so much to go through all this trouble.
Han’s eyes darkened, then turned the steering wheel quickly.
Of course, he knew who it was.
They were being chased by the van for ten minutes when they were about to reach the highway.
However, there was a loud noise coming from the car and it suddenly stopped.
Leah’s face was flushed pale. “What’s going on? Why did it stop?”
She thought that they were going to die because of how fast the van was driving.
Han was calm. He lowered his head and said, “We’re out of petrol.”
Leah wanted to swear. Did the car rental company not check their cars before renting them out?
She was about to cry and grabbed onto the door handle tightly. “What do we do now?”
Han glanced at the rearview mirror. He still was not flustered at all.
“Get out of the car.” He said without hesitation and opened the door.
Everything was dyed in pitch black except for the glimmering moonlight, and the faint blue light reflected by the ocean. They could not see anything.
Leah knew that she would be dead if she stayed in the car, so she followed Han’s orders.
The van caught up to them as they got out of the car.
The van stopped 10 feet away from them and Shawn smirked as he got out of the vehicle.
Leah felt depressed, “You again?”
Shawn looked at her contemptuously. “What? Don’t wanna see me? Unfortunately, you always have bad luck every time you bump into me.”
Nothing good happened whenever she bumped into him.
She did not expect that this man would go after them even when they were in Dawnville.
Han protected Leah.
Shawn smiled sullenly and said, “I’ll see how well you can protect Leah this time, Han.”
He got into the van as soon as he finished speaking.
Upon seeing this, Han grabbed Leah’s hand and said, “Run!” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Leah’s heart almost jumped out. Han held her wrist tightly and started running on the highway without explaining what was going on.
How could they be any faster than a van?
It was as if Shawn was playing with them, like a cat with a mouse.
Leah felt hopeless.
She had never felt this tired in her life, and her legs were getting heavy. It felt like she was running for her life.
There was a path in front of them after running for a while.
Han dragged her into the path without hesitation.
Shawn’s van was too big to drive in. He got out of the van and cursed in anger. His eyes flashed all of a sudden. He got an idea and smirked.
Han dragged Leah and ran.
After all that running, Leah could no longer take it anymore. She loosened her grip on Han’s hand and slumped onto the ground.
Han stood and waited for her.
After a long while, Leah managed to speak. “Good thing Shawn hasn’t caught up to us yet.”
Han already knew that.
Leah asked, “Then, what are we supposed to do now? It’s already dark and we can’t spend the night in the forest, can we?”
Han heard her and looked at the road in front of him. “We can get to the highway if we get out from here.”
“Alright then.” Leah was motivated as soon as she heard that there was a way out. She struggled to get up from the ground and panted. “We’ll be fine as long as we get there. Come on, we don’t have time to waste.”
Han squatted in front of her.
Leah asked, “What are you doing?”
Han’s voice was clear. “I’ll carry you.”
Leah was stunned, then refused. “No.”
Han urged her, “Don’t waste time.”
Leah hesitated for a while and realized she had no more strength. She had no idea how long it would take them to reach there if she was going to walk slowly.
She thought about it for a moment and laid on Han’s back and whispered. “Thanks for your help.”
