Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 240

Listening to them argue, Qadir pulled out his phone and sent a message to Juniper: [Leave slip signed.]

Just as he hit send, a notification from the official F1 racing channel popped up on his screen.

[Driver Kurt has been injured in an accident. Orient Country has requested a substitution. The replacement driver is pending.]

“Damn,” Qadir sighed. It didn't matter who they substituted. Unless it was J, it was hopeless. And that was clearly impossible.

...

Twenty minutes later, Juniper arrived at the racetrack.

A crowd of doctors stood outside Kurt's private lounge. According to reports, after inspecting his car, he had been walking past another team’s area when he accidentally slipped and fell into a maintenance pit. A heavy piece of equipment, weighing dozens of pounds, had landed directly on his legs. Both were fractured instantly, the bones severely displaced. He couldn't even move, let alone race.

But Kurt was obsessed with the race and refused to give up. No matter how much Ghoul pleaded, he wouldn't leave. If he got into that car with those legs, he might not survive the race.

“Can’t you get your priorities straight?” Ghoul yelled, his own heart aching. “Life is more important! I’m trying to contact other drivers…”

“What’s the point of bringing in someone else?” Kurt gritted his teeth, his forehead slick with sweat from the pain. “If I’m going to die, I’ll die in that car.”

He was carrying the hopes of his family and the entire future of racing for Orient Country. He couldn't back down.

He glanced over and saw several foreign drivers across the way, arms crossed, smirking at him. It clicked. If he placed in the top five, those very drivers would be eliminated. This wasn't an accident; it was sabotage.

“Those sons of bitches,” Kurt snarled, his fists clenched and his eyes red. “Ghoul, help me to the car.”

If he withdrew now, every racer from Orient Country would become a laughingstock for years to come. He would not let anyone look down on his country.
