Spencer held the steering wheel with two hands. Judging from Lucasâ current mood, he knew that something horrible might happen later.
Those gripped by panic and fear would grow desperate and not able to think straight.
Mr. Nolan would go crazy for sure if something were to happen to Ms. Berry! It took her some time before she convinced Old Mr. Leno to treat Mr. Nolanâs condition. If he breaks down again, he might not be able to recover. This is a trap! Is it meant for Mr. Nolan or Ms. Berry? Or is the enemy trying to kill two birds with one stone?
Spencer dreaded to imagine the rest.
They werenât in control of the situation.
âHurry up, Spencer!â Blair urged.
Boom!
Right after he said that, a thunderous boom echoed in the air. It sounded like a bomb had exploded.
Just then, a streak of lightning cut through the sky.
Thunder rumbled ahead. Everyoneâs heart skipped a beat at the sudden racket.
The sky that was initially clear as day was covered with thunderclouds. It seemed that darkness had descended in the day.
Strong gusts of wind blew, signaling the arrival of a storm.
Several cars were speeding up a narrow road in the mountains on the outskirts of the city, creating strong blasts of wind along the way.
The cars were going at such a high speed as fast as cannonballs.
âSit tight!â Spencer floored the accelerator. He gripped the steering wheel and sped ahead at full force.
Anxiousness and concern overwhelmed his heart.
The tires screeched on the road and left sparks behind. They were driving at an incredibly frightening speed.
Before them, Lucasâ car was driving at the maximum speed. He didnât even bother about his safety.
They had only one thought in mindâsaving Ashlyn!
Nothing could happen to Ashlyn.
Their enemy set up a trap for both Lucas and Ashlyn. Blair and Tinsor were pawns, while Lucas and Ashlyn were each otherâs bait.
It was a set-up to trap both Ashlyn and Lucas.
If things were to escalate, what should we do?
Spencer couldnât help but feel worried and frustrated. What should I do if something were to happen to Mr. Nolan and Ms. Berry?
The usually calm and composed man bore a furious expression as though he was Grim Reaper from hell.
Right this moment, his imposing presence was similar to Lucasâ.
âD*mn it!â
âSpencer, calm⦠Ugh⦠Calm down!â Blair nearly puked his guts out when he spoke, but he did his best to hold it in.
In front of them, Lucas was driving as though he were a madman. He changed his gear and floored the gas pedal as the car zoomed ahead.
It would take at least forty minutes to reach the abandoned factory, and he had no idea when Ashlyn departed.
He also wasnât sure if she was there.
I must get there as soon as possible without any delays.
With that thought in mind, Lucas grew increasingly restless.
Nothing can happen to Ashlyn. She must be safe. We have yet to remarry and live happily ever after.
We donât have a baby together yet, and the Spirogyra is still in her body. I canât let anything happen to her!
The black cars sped along the road as swift as bullets.
Some pedestrians could only catch blur shadows as the cars raced ahead.
Behind them were various police cars.
âHey, pull over! Are you crazy? Even if this road is empty, you canât race here!â the traffic police in the car kept yelling.
The captain of the traffic police immediately called the firefighters. âIs the captain of the firefighter team, Lochlan Fraser, around? This is the traffic police department. We need backup!â
âWhat happened?â Lochlan took the phone from the operator as a strange glint flashed across his eyes.
âA few cars are racing on the road that weâre currently patrolling. Itâs nearby the northern suburbs. We request backup. We have already blocked the road but need more reinforcements!â
