Chapter 970

The piercing collision noise reverberated in Stella’s ears.

After what felt like an eternity, the noise ceased.

Pressed down, Stella couldn’t utter a word.

After a while, with great effort, she lifted her head only to hear Farris’ feeble voice above her.

“Stella… Are you… okay?”

His words were faint, trailing off into barely discernible breaths.

Shaking her head, Stella realized Farris couldn’t see her.

“I’m fine.

How about you?”

As she spoke, warm liquid dripped onto her, alarming her as she discovered it was blood.

“Farris, are you alright? Say something!” Panic surged through Stella, but she was held firmly by him, unable to move.

“Farris, don’t scare me!” Despite her fear, she tried to reassure him.

“Hold on.

Help is coming.

The police and the doctor will be here soon.

”

The distant sound of a police siren reached her ears.

It seemed someone had called for help.

“Farris… Say something…”

Farris’ hand moved slightly, followed by a deep exhale, then a weak voice.

“Stella…”

Struggling to focus, he attempted to see the woman in his arms, but his vision was blurred.

“I’m afraid I’ll be separated from you again.

” Farris struggled to express himself.

“Stella, I was bullied before, and you told me to hang on… Ahem…”

“Farris… Stella was overwhelmed, not fully comprehending his words.

“Don’t talk.

Hold on.

Help is on the way!”

Stella was gripped by fear, repeatedly calling out, “Farris.

”

“The car door is locked,” someone said above her head.

It seemed the rescue team had finally arrived.

With a flicker of hope, Stella cried out for help and pleaded, “Please hurry! My friend is in critical condition.

”
