After a long silence, Vicky asked, âIs it safe for me to head back to the dorm?â
âNo. You wonât even make it past the dormâs gate,â Tyler said calmly.
Vickyâs breath caught in her throat. âUm⦠What if I go to the airport and fly to another city now?â
Tyler glanced at the time. âYou woke up a little too late, so thatâs probably not an option either.â
âLate? What does that mean?â
âLater than Jonathan.â
âHow would you know?â
Tyler shot her an odd look as though he was wondering why she would ask such a foolish question.
âThe extraction of the bullet is a standard procedure. Itâs not that hard to figure out how long it takes.â
Vicky felt belittled, and as she looked outside the window, realization dawned on her. âDid you injure
them badlyâ¦to buy me time?â
Though Tyler wanted to help her, there was no reason for him to go as far as injuring the three severely
as he himself would be in trouble as well.
Tyler did not deny it and kept his hands on the steering wheel, his gaze straight ahead and his voice
calm. âIâd cross them as soon as I got involved. If thatâs the case, the degree of their injuries wonât
matter, and I might as well get them to stay down for a while longer.â
Vicky turned to look at the man next to her.
The manâs brooding features became obscure and indistinct under the fading streetlights, and she was
captured by the sight.
Screech!
Followed by a sharp and piercing screech, the car shook.
Startled, Vicky looked out of the window and saw a row of black cars without license plates coming
from the opposite side.
These cars had their high beams on and showed no signs of slowing down as they headed straight
toward Tylerâs car.
Vickyâs eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat.
Just when she thought they were doomed, Tylerâs car emitted a rumble, and smoke started oozing from
underneath the tires.
The tires rubbed against the ground, emitting thick smoke.
Before she had the chance to react, the car darted forward at the speed of lightning. Had she not
fastened her seatbelt, she could have been thrown out of the car at that very moment!
The black cars behind picked up the pace and chased after Tyler.
Before she met Tyler, Vicky had always been considered a qualified socialite and never experienced
street racing.
She once thought that car racing looked thrilling in movies and realized at this moment that
experiencing it in real life was different.
She felt nauseated from all the shaking and speeding.
At a certain point, something bumped into the back of Tylerâs car, and since Tyler was driving at an
extremely high speed, the car began to lose balance.
Vicky was about to turn around when Tyler suddenly started backing up.
Before she could register what was happening, more intensive shaking followed, and she realized that
Tyler was bumping into the cars on purpose.
âHeâs crazy!â she gasped internally.
The people in the cars behind seemed to be provoked by Tylerâs act, and two cars started bumping into
the back of Tylerâs car from two directions.
Vicky had just been discharged and had barely recovered, so she started gagging.
Tyler noticed this and said, âDonât puke on my car.â
â⦠How can he still be a germaphobe in this kind of situation?â she thought.
âI canât⦠I canât take it anymoreâ¦â Vicky said weakly. âIf you keep driving like this, Iâm going to throw
up.â
Tyler scowled.
