An Enchanted Innocence

Chapter 18

It wasn't them. It wasn't their car! Hence, they had successfully escaped.

She turned around and saw a thick cloud of smoke. The car that was following them had collided with the back half of the truck. The back half of the truck had fallen off, and the front half was thrown far away. As for the car, it had practically sunk into the truck. It spun a few times before rolling onto the ground. By the time it stopped, it was practically deformed!

Serena felt her heart skip a beat. She turned around and looked at Nick. "Is it difficult to decelerate now?"

"Yes, but I'll do my best." Nick's expression was tense as he gripped the steering wheel tightly, trying to change gears.

The car was still going very fast, and there was almost no sign of it slowing down. Serena clutched tightly onto the armrest as she looked at him nervously. It was so quiet in the car that she could practically feel the sweat on her forehead.

After a while, the car seemed to be slowing down. She did not dare to relax. The car drove out of the city and was on the road to the suburbs. It was slowing down gradually.

Nick suddenly said, "Young madam, I need to slow down now with friction, so you must sit tight."

"Okay." She nodded.

Serena's car started to drive toward the side of the road and then started hitting the trees by the side. With each collision, there seemed to be some signs of slowing down, but Serena felt a strong impact on her body while sitting inside. She felt as if her entire body was about to bounce off.

Again and again.

The car finally stabilized and slowly moved to the side of the road, stopping in a pile of mud.

Was this the end?

She looked out the car window at the silent scene outside. Although her entire body ached, she still wanted to leave. She hurriedly took off her seatbelt and opened the car door. The car door was completely still. No matter how hard she tried, she could not open it.

She nervously looked at Nick, who answered directly, "The car door is locked."

"Then, what should we do?"

"We have to wait for rescue."

"What if someone with bad intentions gets here first?" Serena was worried.

"No, Mr. Ethan will be here soon," Nick said confidently.

She bit her lip and tried to control her emotions. In less than three minutes, a black car stopped beside them. She watched as Ethan alighted. His expression was cold and hard. Henry was beside him as always. Ethan walked to their deformed car and gestured at her. She glanced at him and was confused.

The next moment, she saw Ethan hitting the car window with the mallet. She hurriedly turned around, right before the glass fell beside her. Did he have to be so rough?!

Before Serena could even scream, Ethan dragged her out of the car that was full of glass shards. She gritted her teeth in pain.

At the same time, Henry dragged Nick out. Ethan carried Serena into his car.

Henry returned to the driver's seat, and Nick sat in the front passenger seat. The car started immediately.

When they were less than a hundred meters away, the dilapidated car that they had just been in suddenly caught fire. Serena watched this scene unfold in shock and couldn't say a word for a while.

"Thankfully, you're not dead yet, God I was so fucking worried!" Ethan said calmly. His words were so captivating and unhurried. Serena turned to look at Ethan, her eyes turning red.

She did not have the chance to be afraid the last time she faced death, and that had been the end. she had felt so close to death...

She was still in shock. Her entire body went cold.

"Thankfully, you're not dead yet," Ethan said coldly.

She turned to look at how calm and composed he was. She bit her lip and kept quiet.

"You look so pitiful that I can't help but want to kiss you." Ethan grinned, and his devilish lips curled up in a charming manner.

She turned her head away. She really could not have any expectations of him. Even though she was a little touched that he would come to her rescue so soon.

"Ethan, where are we going now?" Henry asked.

"Let's go to the hospital."

"Alright."

The car drove straight to the private hospital in the city center. This was the VIP passageway for the four families. Hence, they gave Serena special treatment.

The specialist performed a physical examination on her and then bandaged some of her superficial wounds. Ethan stayed by her side, whereas Henry followed Nick to another ward.

After the doctor was done bandaging her wound, he gave a simple summary of the things to take note of. Just as he was about to leave, Ethan suddenly said, "Help me take a look at my arm."

Serena turned to look at him. Ethan's expression was calm as he rolled up his sleeves. His arms were almost completely blue, and there was a huge bruise on them. There were even some scratches in the middle area, and it looked extremely hideous.

"How did you get hurt so badly?" The doctor was shocked as well. He placed more force on his arm as if checking if his bones were damaged. Ethan pursed his lips and pulled a long face. It was evident that he was enduring the pain.

"It shouldn't have hurt your bone," the doctor said and began to apply medicine on him.

Ethan was silent. Sweat trickled down his face profusely. After a while, the doctor was done with the dressing, and the wound was bandaged. "Don't come into contact with water for the next two days. Otherwise, you might get infected."

"Okay." Ethan nodded.

"Rest well." The doctor left.

The room fell silent.

Serena watched as Ethan struggled to remove his sleeve as if he did not want anyone to see the marks on his arm. His expression remained cold.

"How did you get hurt?" she asked suddenly.

"Would you believe me if I said I got hurt because of you?" Ethan looked up at her and even smiled.

"Because of me?"

"I drove that truck," Ethan said.

Serena narrowed her eyes. She actually did not quite believe it. After all, she did not think Ethan would do something so dangerous himself. She was getting frustrated for some reason! She somehow felt that the closer she got to this man, the more she could not understand him.

"Do you know who wants to kill you?" Ethan changed the topic as if he had never thought about discussing it before.
