Chapter 178
Han’s shoulder was broad. He carried Leah steadily as soon as she got on him.
The difference in physical strength between men and women was immense. He carried her as he ran. She was so tired she could barely get up. On the other hand, Han did not even break a sweat.
Neither of them said anything but panted.
Leah put her arms around Han’s neck and looked up. She could see his side profile and she had never been this quiet around Han before.
“What are you thinking about?” He looked straight ahead and asked in a low voice.
Leah shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.” She paused and asked, “How long until we get out?”
Han glanced at the road ahead of them and frowned. “Soon.”
Han was straight to the point and it did not take long for the both of them to see a dazzling blue light at the end of the road.
It was the light reflected by the ocean.
The both of them went through the forest and returned to the highway. However, the road was not the same as before. They were now at the back of the mountain.
There was no beach underneath, but a vast blue ocean, emitting a mysterious glow.
Han carried Leah through the woods and let her down.
“What should we do now?” Leah asked Han, looking at the ocean below.
Han took out his phone and said, “I’m calling Roman to send someone to pick us up.”
Just as he was about to make the call, there was a sudden screech.
Han and Leah’s expressions changed. They stood up from the ground in unison and looked at where the sound was coming from.
“Honk, Honk!” A car’s honk could be heard.
At that juncture, a white van rushed out from the corner. Shawn held the steering wheel while excitement flashed across his eyes. “As I said, you can’t run away from me!” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
His van rammed towards the both of them as if he was going to crush them into bits!
Han pulled Leah and threw her aside. He grabbed her shoulders, and waist then tossed her to the guardrail.
Han snorted as cold sweat formed on his forehead.
However, Shawn’s van missed them as they dodged. Shawn was not amused by this, he turned his van around and charged at them again.
Han pushed Leah. “Run!”
Leah looked at the dazzling lights of the vehicle in front of her and was stunned.
Shawn smirked viciously as if he was at the dawn of victory!
Han was going to die in front of him!
Shawn stomped on the accelerator and rushed towards the both of them. However, Shawn held back his strength as Han and Leah were near the guardrail.
Shawn slammed on the brakes just when his van was about to hit them.
However, his expression changed all of a sudden.
His brakes failed!
“Stop right now, Shawn! You’re going to die!” Leah yelled hoarsely at Shawn.
Shawn’s face turned pale. His brakes failed! No matter how much he moved, there was no way to stop the car. He rammed Han and Leah at an uncontrollable speed without hesitation!
“bang!”
Shawn’s van hit Leah and Han. At the same time, his van broke through the guardrail and they plunged down.
“Ah!” Leah’s screams echoed in her ears, and the huge sense of weightlessness made her mind go blank.
At that juncture, she felt a pair of hands protecting her, pressing her head firmly in his arms.
Leah could smell the scent of tobacco. It was Han who protected her!
Despite all of that, it would not change their fate of being knocked off the road. There Ocean was beneath the highway. A burst of light flashed before Leah’s eyes.
“Whoosh!”
Water was splashing.
Leah was deafened by the sound of seawater engulfing her. Her vision gradually blurred and fainted.
…
“Cough! Cough! cough!” Leah woke up choking as if something was rubbing her chest. She coughed a few more times and got up. She covered her chest and gasped for air.
Leah opened her eyes and it was already dawn. She finally remembered what happened.
She remembered that the accident happened yesterday night. However, it was already daytime. Did she fall asleep for that long?
What about Han?
Han held her tightly in his arms when the accident happened. What happened to him?
Leah resisted the huge pain in her body and stumbled up from the ground.
She looked around and noticed that she was at a beach, but no one was there. It seemed that she was washed up somewhere by the sea.
Leah struggled to stand up and shouted in a hoarse voice, “Han?”
There was no answer. Her voice echoed on the beach.
Leah sauntered. There were wounds all over her body, and there was a huge gash on her leg. Her wounds had already clotted, but it still hurt whenever she took a step.
She was with Han when she fell off the road. Even if she was washed away by the sea, Han should not be far from her.
She walked across the sand and headed all the way to a pile of rocks.
Her eyes narrowed and a glint of light flashed in her eyes. “Han…”
She saw a man lying face down on the reef next to him. He did not move, she did not know if he was dead or not.
Leah stumbled and ran towards the man.
She finally ran to the man’s side, she turned the man over as her hands trembled. Her expression changed all of a sudden.
It was not Han!
It was Shawn who was knocked out by the reefs.
Leah suddenly fell, as she bit her lips and looked at Shawn angrily.
She would not have fallen to this point if it was not for him
She did not know if he was alive either.
Leah reached out her hand cautiously, touched the tip of Shawn’s nose, and felt his weak breathing.
Shawn did not die, he just passed out in a coma. However, if he did not wake up, she would not know whether he would survive.
Leah pursed her lips, she didn’t want to save Shawn.
Eventually, she could not take it anymore, since his life was on the line.
After debating whether she should save him, Leah sighed and dragged him to the shore. She placed her hands on his chest and performed CPR on him.
