Chapter 233

"It's impossible to get to the airport in half an hour.The rain is too heavy.Look at the traffic in front of
us.Plus, it's unsafe to drive too fast in weather like this."

The taxi driver said warm-heartedly when he saw her anxious face and wet clothes, "You shouldn't be
in the rain when you are pregnant.Come in the car and wait till the rain dies down a little.However,
Christina had no time to wait.Her face turned pale from standing in the rain for a long time.She didn't
say a word but shook her head at the driver.She clenched the phone in her right hand, and her heart
was beating wildly.The voices were replaying in her mind.

"The shrapnel fragment in Patric’s brain has caused many complications, affecting his visual, auditory,
and sensory nerves.He doesn't have a lot of time left."

"Grandpa will send Patric to Seattle tonight.I heard that he fell down the stairs and was in a
coma.Grandpa didn't want us to go together.Try to get to the International Airport in 30 mins.Patric
would love to have you aside.Be quick"

"They said you left Patric when he was in a coma.How could you do something like this to him,
Christina?"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the night was coming.

Christina stood by the sidewalk like a person who had just lost her soul.She looked at the traffic in front
of her and the row of dim orange street lights.Her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to do.

Her tears were mixed with the rain, blurring her vision.

The surging uneasiness in her chest was strangling her heart.

She felt that she was suffocating.She didn't want to leave, but grandfather had chased her out.She
wanted to go back and see Patric a lot.



"Christina, don't stand in the rain.Come back with me first, please."

There was a familiar voice coming from behind, together with urgent footsteps running towards her.

It was Betty.She had thought that Christina would get into the taxi, but she didn't do so.Besides, her
expression wasn't good at all.

Betty was afraid that something would happen to Christina and followed her out.

However, her voice had pulled Christina back from her daze, but she looked shocked, as if she was
afraid to be caught again.

Christina started to run forward without looking back.

"Christina, be careful! Watch out for the cars!"

Betty admitted that she was selfish.She didn't care about Patrick that much.

However, Christina was her niece.

Betty couldn't bear seeing her running in the rain with a pale face and a pregnant body.She regretted
calling Mr.Hopkins earlier.

Christina was too stubborn, and she always ended up making herself hurt.

Betty didn't dare to chase after her anymore.She picked up her phone and called Derek for help.

Christina used one hand to support her very-much pregnant belly while running.

Her clothes were drenched because of the rain.



The dirty water on the ground splashed all over her clothes.She was in such a mess.She was too tired
to keep running, stopped, breathed heavily while supporting her body on the wall.

Her mind was full of thoughts which prevented her from thinking.She had half an hour to get to the
International Airport.

That was the only place she wanted to get to now.

However, how could she manage to get there in such awful weather? Her lips trembled while she was
trying to hold back her tears.

She kept suppressing the fear in her heart by comforting herself, "Calm down.It's going to be fine.I can
do it.I can do it."

At this moment, there was a sharp sound of argument came to Christina's ears.

The noise was getting louder and louder, which gradually woke her up from her daze.

She looked at the alley on the right.

Two people were arguing.

"Damn it, were you looking while driving? I was driving in my lane.Why on earth did you bump into
me?"

"How dare you say that to me! You poor bastard! My Porsche had taken a hit as well! It's raining so
heavily, and I just made a turn.Who knew you would block my way here? I'm warning you.You'd better
apologize to me right now.Do you have any idea who I am? I'll make your life miserable in A City."

There were two cars bumped into each other, and the owners were arguing hard.



The rain was sliding down Christina's cheeks.She stood there, watching at them awkwardly for a
minute, and her gaze turned to the Porsche whose key was still in the ignition.She walked over without
thinking, sat in the car, and slammed the door shut.

It was not until she started the car that the owners behind her realized what had happened.

The rude, arrogant lady shouted curse words and ran after her.

"What are you doing? Stop the car!"

However, Christina had pressed the acceleration already.

The wheels splashed dirty water all over, and the car quickly disappeared into the dark alley.The
satellite navigation in the car showed that there was heavier than usual traffic on the roads around her.

She wouldn't reach the airport in time if she took the regular route.She turned what steering wheel to
the right as soon as the car drove out of the alley and drove on the sidewalk.

The storm had been brewing for a whole day.

Thunder and heavy rain continued to fall, seriously affecting the traffic situation.

The shops were all closed, and there were no pedestrians on the road, either.

"I can make it to the airport in 30 mins if I take the JD Second Road.I can do it"

She raised the wet sleeve on her left elbow to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes.She did
not like to cry.She looked straight ahead at the road with a determined gaze.

Christina swore that she would be at the airport on time.

Holding the steering wheel, she was overwhelmed with fear.



Her knuckles were pale from nervousness.

She knew that what she was doing was dangerous and illegal, but she could not care less now.

At the third intersection, she continued to turn right into another small alley.

It was the back lane of a bar.

The trash cans were scattered all around the road.

Under the dark rain, the headlights shone brightly on the dark alley, where very few people usually
passed.

On such a rainy day, even wild cats were not seen, except for the sound of rain and the sound of cars
passing by, it was silent.She was focused on driving, looking straight ahead.

Perhaps it was because she was drenched, or maybe it was because of the gloomy atmosphere.She
felt a chill coming from behind her.

She glanced at the backseat.

"You! Who are you? Ah!" Christina suddenly screamed.

It wasn't her illusion.It was true.

There was a person in the back seat of the car.

How could there be another person in this car? Christina was scared out of her wits.

Before she could make sense of the situation, the person had covered her eyes, and she couldn't see
anything ahead.



"Let go, let go of me!"

The car was still moving.She struggled and screamed.

"What do you want to do? Let me go!"

Then a cold hand reached out and stopped at her belly from behind.

The person moved towards Christina and whispered in her ear with a stern voice, filled with
resentment.

"Christina, I want you dead."

As soon as the person finished speaking, the hand pressed hard on Christina's belly.

The palm was not big.It seemed to belong to a woman.

Her nails were very sharp.

They poked into Christina's belly as if she wanted to cut her belly open.

Christina felt a sharp pain in her belly, and the fear had filled all her cells.

She screamed, "Let go, let me go!"

Christina let go of the steering wheel and tangled with the woman.

The car sped up uncontrollably.

The sky was thick with dark clouds, and the rain didn't want to stop at all.

The drivers were stuck on the highway and were all impatient.However, one of the cars sped out from a
small alley at the right.



Everyone was trying to avoid hitting by the car.

The harsh sound of brakes came one after another, accompanied by curses.

Boom.

There was a loud noise, and people were all shocked.

The white Porsche slammed into the right side guardrail of the highway.The metal at the front was
twisted and deformed.

The whole car flipped over and finally stopped moving.

A dark red liquid gushed out from the crack of the door, and a large pool of blood quickly appeared on
the asphalt road around the car.

The thick smell of blood stained the entire space.The drivers looked panicked at first but gradually
quieted down.The scent of blood in the air was disgusting and made people nauseous.

"There was a major traffic accident on HX 2115Z to the International Airport.Please send in more police
force and an ambulance"
