Aurelia Shaw saw the driver turn his head back, his face pale as he said to her, "M-Miss, the brakes... the brakes have failed."

"!" What!

She looked down, the driver's foot was stamping hard on the brake, but the car showed no signs of slowing down.

How could the brakes suddenly fail?

The current situation left Aurelia with no time to think about it that much, many cars were whizzing by on the road, and the driver's trembling voice suddenly sounded again:

"Miss... Miss, in front... in front..."

Aurelia looked up ahead, there was a right-angled turn with cars on both sides, at the current speed, it was absolutely impossible to get through!

"Uncle Wu, find a chance to jump out!"

"What?" Uncle Wu couldn't believe what he heard.

Jump out of the car?

So many cars on the road, if they jumped out and one of them happened to hit them, it would be no joke.

"There's only this one option, unless you want to crash? Instead of having no chance at all, it's better to take a gamble." Aurelia had already opened the car door, the howling wind blew in, her long hair fluttered, and her almond-shaped eyes squinted against the dust brought by the wind.

Half of her body leaned out.

Her slender fingers clutched tightly onto the window frame.

Seeing this, Uncle Wu's face turned pale, "Miss, you, don't..." The words to persuade her were swallowed back when he saw the approaching turn.

He wasn't confident he could get through safely.

But at the same time, he didn't have the courage like Miss to dare jump out of a speeding car.

That really was risking one's life!

She really isn't an ordinary person.

Aurelia took a deep breath, the wind and sand made her face hurt, she closed her eyes, her fingers slowly loosened—"Get back in!" Just as she was about to let go, a voice rang in her ear.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Mason Nightshade was in the car next to hers.

His eyebrows were furrowed tightly, his hawk-like eyes staring at her, his piercing gaze swept over her face, past her fingers, taking a deep breath, his eyes stern and cold.

"Get back in and sit properly, fasten your seatbelt!" Mason instructed in a deep voice.

Aurelia looked at Mason's face, almost without hesitation, turned around and sat back inside the car, fastening her seatbelt.

Mason, seeing she had done all this, stepped hard on the accelerator, overtook her car, glanced at the approaching turn, and suddenly jerked the steering wheel.

The car scraped the front of the car behind.

The screeching sound of the brakes "screech—" rang out, dangerously pushing the car behind to the roadside, forcing it to stop.

Mason unbuckled the seatbelt, ignoring his disheveled suit, he strode towards Aurelia's car, his steps urgent.

Aurelia was dizzy from the crash, her mind went blank for a moment, squinting her eyes, she saw Mason appear in front of her, the light behind him making his entire figure appear fuzzy.

Mason carried Aurelia out.

"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" Mason's usually calm voice carried a rare trace of tension and panic.

He tried hard to suppress it, but the tail end of his voice still carried a slight tremble, revealing the anxiety and fear he felt just now.

Aurelia shook her head, her head still dizzy, she leaned in Mason's arms, breathing in the faint scent of lemon emanating from his suit, finding it not at all repulsive.

Strange, she was clearly someone who disliked fragrances.

This man clearly hadn't sprayed any perfume, so why was there always a faint lemon scent on him?

It smelled nice.

"Aurelia, answer me!"
