The words I spoke seemed to suddenly wake Drew up.
He slammed his fist against the glass with a dull thud.
I shrank back in fear, but still forced myself to remain calm If you don’t believe me, call her and tell her I’m already dead.”
I just wanted to buy time. As long as his emotions were unstable, there was still a chance to survive.
Drew indeed didn’t think much and immediately picked up his phone to call Ashley.
But the next second, his expression changed.
The call wouldn’t go through at all.
Ashley had already blocked him.
I gritted my teeth and continued stabbing at his heart: “Looks like she’s afraid of being connected to you and getting suspected.”
“If you rescue me and the driver now, I won’t report you,” my voice was noticeably weaker, and breathing was becoming increasingly difficult. “At most, you’d only be guilty of causing an accident due to operational error… If we’re fine, you won’t face criminal charges.”
I knew he was wavering. His eyes were filled with confusion standing outside the car unable to advance or retreat.
And I was almost at my limit, my vision starting to blur, my voice becoming hollow.
Just then, I heard commotion outside.
It sounded like people running, engine sounds, and faint shouting.
I didn’t know what Drew saw, but his face suddenly changed and he turned and ran without looking back.
I gritted my teeth and tried to keep my eyes open, through the shattered car window, I vaguely saw a tall figure running toward me.
desperately tried to see who it was, but ultimately couldn’t hold on anymore.
In the last moment before I lost consciousness, I only remembered that person’s shoulders were broad and warm.

When I woke up again, I was in the hospital.
I didn’t open my eyes, but could smell the faint scent of disinfectant in the air.
The room was very quiet.
From the balcony came the faint sound of a lighter. I heard a familiar man’s deep sigh, followed by the flame being extinguished.
I knew very well who it was.
It was Ferris.
He stood on the balcony, his tall and upright figure blocking the light from outside.
I couldn’t see his expression, but I knew his hand was injured, wounded while rescuing me.
Just then, his phone rang.
“Alpha Ferris, the driver who caused the accident was taken away by Adrian’s people.” It was Simon’s voice.
Ferris’s tone was cool: “I see.”
“Those bodyguards watching over Luna can be withdrawn too.”
He hung up the phone.
Before I had my accident today, he had first returned to the villa. When he didn’t see me there, he asked the bodyguards assigned to follow me, only to find those people had reacted several beats too slowly. By the time he learned the news, I had already been in the accident.
He had said he wouldn’t interfere with my affairs anymore, but when something really happened, his heart was still in chaos.
When he arrived at the scene, I was lying covered in blood in that overturned car.
He said later that his heartbeat almost stopped.
Fortunately, I was lucky–only external injuries and fainting from blood loss, no life–threatening danger.
He said he personally carried me out from the broken car window with his own hands.
But unexpectedly, Adrian had also rushed over.
How did he know I was in trouble?
It wasn’t until Ferris was sent to the hospital with me that he saw the

from outside the emergency room.
Yes, after I pressed for help, the first person notified wasn’t Ferris, but Adrian.
On the hospital bed, I slept very restlessly,
My whole body hurt, especially my head.
I had a dream where I saw my mother who had passed away years ago.
She stood in the dream, gently patting my shoulder like when I was little: “Aurora, you’ve suffered…”
My nose tingled, and I wanted to hug her.
But the next second, mother turned into points of starlight, floating away from me and completely disappearing.
“Mom…” I called out in my dream.
Ferris heard the commotion and thought I had woken up, so he walked to the bedside.
Before I opened my eyes, I instinctively reached out and grabbed his hand.
