Chapter 615 Blood on the Back of His Suit

Joseph's palms were sticky with blood. He casually wiped them on his clothes as he tightened his

grip on the steering wheel.

"Do you trust me?" he asked.

Although he had contemplated this option, he knew the odds of success of this daring maneuver

were slim. If it accelerated the ground’s collapse, the consequences would be unimaginable. While

he might be willing to take the risk alone, the situation was different when it involved both of them.

"Yes," Chloe responded without hesitation, “Back it up. We should try any option we have."

Joseph's gaze focused on the road ahead, his eyes filled with determination. "Close your eyes if

you're scared."

Chloe protected her abdomen with both hands, her breathing became labored. She kept her eyes

wide open as she wanted to see the road ahead clearly. However, as the car jolted violently, the

overwhelming sensation of weightlessness caused her to instinctively shut her eyes. Soon after, a

deafening crash echoed through the air as the road gave way, accompanied by the sound of rocks

and debris cascading down.

Joseph started the car, turned the steering wheel, and abruptly reversed. The ground beneath them

cracked inch by inch, while cascading rocks stirred up clouds of dust and splashes of mud, creating

a terrifying scene. He swiftly maneuvered the car without any hesitation, seizing every second he

had.

Fortunately, they managed to retreat to a safe position before the ground completely collapsed. But

due to the narrow road, the rear of the car collided with the cliff wall with a loud thud.

At the same time, the car engine stalled.

Chloe looked around and asked in relief, "Are we safe now?"

Joseph relaxed his brow for a second before he suddenly saw something in the rearview mirror. He

quickly unfastened his seat belt and climbed into the back seat, holding her in a protective embrace.

Chloe did not know what was happening, but she reflexively looked toward the back. She saw

Vanya standing on the hillside, lifting a stone and throwing it in their direction...

Outside, the rain continued to fall, enveloping the sky in a hazy mist. When Chloe regained

consciousness, she found herself in an ambulance. Raindrops rhythmically tapped against the

vehicle windows, echoing the pounding of her heart in her ears.

She swiftly removed her oxygen mask and surveyed her surroundings. Then, her gaze fixed on

Vince, who was huddled in a corner due to his bulky frame.

"Where’s Joseph?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.

"He's in the ambulance ahead," Vince replied honestly.

"How is he? Is he okay?" Chloe recalled how Joseph had shielded her the moment the rock came

crashing down. The stone Vanya had thrown was sizable and could cause severe harm when falling

from such a height. If it had struck someone, it would have inflicted devastating injuries.

"I don't know... When we got there, we saw blood on the back of his suit. Thankfully, the car had

been modified and could withstand the impact better than a regular vehicle. Otherwise, the situation

would’ve been much worse."

Chloe's breath hitched as she refused to think of the potential outcome. She paused for a moment

and reached out for her abdomen with trembling hands. A nearby nurse noticed her movement and

reassured her, "The baby’s fine. Your husband protected you well. You weren't injured. You just

passed out from fright.”

Upon hearing those words, Chloe's heart was filled with a mix of emotions.

At the hospital, Chloe underwent a thorough examination and was found to be in good health. There

was no need for her to be hospitalized.

After three hours of treatment, Joseph's condition stabilized, and he was transferred to a regular

ward.
