Chapter 224 As Long as I’m Here

Audrey looked at Eden, who was driving, through the rearview mirror and furrowed her brows. “Eden, the speed is too fast, can’t you slow. down?”

Sweat dripped down Eden’s forehead.

He tried his best to slow down the speed of the car, but he just couldn’t.

The brakes seemed to have malfunctioned.

But his new car had only been driven once or twice, how could it have broken down already?

Due to the cliffs on both sides of the road, it was highly likely that one would be crushed to death if they fell off while returning from the suburbs to the city.

Sterling saw Eden unable to reduce the speed of the car, and his face became serious as he said, “The brakes failed?”

Eden nodded in panic.

He had never encountered such a situation.

Less than a hundred meters ahead is a bend. If the brakes fail, the car will swing outwards, making it even more uncontrollable.

Sterling furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, “Turn the steering wheel 30 degrees to the left, relax your b*dy, being nervous. will only make things worse!”

Eden was about to follow Sterling’s lead when suddenly a small truck came speeding towards them.

The small truck was driving at a very fast speed and was not following the road. It was clearly heading towards Eden and about to collide with the car.

Eden was so scared that her mind went blank.

Sterling acted swiftly. leaning over to steady the steering wheel in Eden’s hands.

Xian Xian narrowly avoided a collision with the small truck.

But after the van turned a corner, the small truck came roaring from behind.

Audrey saw the situation was not good and quickly called the b*dyguard who was secretly protecting her.

At the same time. Sterling instructed Eden to shift gears, step on the accelerator, and speed through the bend. Then. quickly making a U- turn, they collided with the oncoming van in an instant!

The small truck was caught off guard. and in the instant that the Mercedes-Benz collided. the small truck fl*pped over and uncontrollably plummeted towards the cliff!

After crashing into the small truck, the Mercedes-Benz lost control of its speed and the rear of the car heavily collided with the guardrail. Then, it also plunged towards the cliff.

Audrey’s b*dy followed the car as it tilted backwards. her heart pounding in her throat.

As the car was about to plunge off the cliff. it got stuck in the middle. of the guardrail and came to a stop while hanging in midair.

The car b*dy was shaking as if it would fall apart, as if the three people inside just needed to move a little and it would fall down.

The color on Audrey’s face faded a bit.

In this situation, there was no one who was not afraid.

Eden was already scared to the point of trembling and having weak legs.

Only Sterling, his pair of black eyes were as deep as ink, so thick that they could drip water.

The sharp contours were distinct, and the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.

He took out his phone and dialed the rescue team’s number.

Soon, two b*dyguards who were secretly protecting Audrey came over. They took out ropes and tied the Mercedes and the car they were driving together, temporarily ensuring the safety of the three people in the car.

Not long after, the rescue team arrived.

Sterling. Audrey, and Eden were rescued..

The glass of the rear car window shattered, with fragments piercing Audrey’s slender shoulder, staining her clothes with tiny spots of

crimson.

But she didn’t utter a word.

The rescue team called an ambulance to come, and the three of them. got on the ambulance together.

The nurse treated the wound on Audrey’s shoulder in the car.

Eden and Sterling also got hurt a bit, but not as severely as Audrey

When Audrey’s shoulder was covered in blood and flesh, the nurse extracted several pieces of broken glass from it, causing Eden and Sterling to both change their expressions.

Eden covered his eyes and dared not look.

It hurt just to look at it, but Audrey didn’t say a word!

As Sterling looked into Audrey’s eyes, they grew darker and deeper.

The hands hanging by the side, tightly clenched into fists, the veins on the back of the hands bulged out!

City Hospital.

All three of them were taken by medical staff for examination and bandaging.

Ronin received the news and went to the scene first, then hurriedly rushed over.

“The van was an abandoned vehicle with a driver inside. When we found it, the car exploded, and we couldn’t determine the driver’s information temporarily!”

Ronin looked at Sterling with a gloomy expression, and in his dark eyes, it seemed like a storm was brewing. “This time, the people. involved should be the same as last time, right?”

Sterling pursed his thin l*ps and made a low, cold “hmm” sound.

“What kind of person are you, kid? Someone actually wants to take your life?”

The color in Sterling’s eyes turned colder for a moment, and he didn’t speak anymore.

Audrey didn’t take the injury on her shoulder to heart, and she didn’t even want to come to the hospital in the first place.

She found Sterling in the hospital garden.

He stood under a camphor tree, his black shirt slightly billowing in the night breeze, his posture straight and indifferent, exuding a chilling

aura.

His slender fingertips held a cigarette.

In the rising smoke, his figure appeared mysterious.

Audrey felt a change in his aura, as if there was something suppressed and tense.

She walked up to him, furrowed her delicate eyebrows, tiptoed, and took the cigarette from his fingertips.

“The wounds on your b*dy have not fully healed yet, don’t smoke!”

As if not hearing her words, after she took away the cigarette, he pulled out another one from his pocket again.

Audrey’s brow furrowed even tighter.

Looking at his sharp and tense jaw, she said with some annoyance, “Sterling, neither Eden nor I will blame you for what happened. today…”

Audrey hadn’t finished speaking when the gloomy and indifferent young man glanced at her, his eyes dark and cold, as if devoid of any

warmth. “Who are you to me? Why do you think you can control me?””

All of Audrey’s words got stuck in her throat.

The air around was noticeably chilled.

Audrey’s slender feathered eyelashes trembled, wanting to say something, but she heard him speak again. “Are you tired?”

Looking at the hostility and gloom in his eyes, Audrey’s hands. tightened slightly at her side. “I am not tired,”

“But I was tired.”

Audrey was another meme.

The atmosphere became even more stifling.

Audrey felt as if a stone was blocking her chest, making her feel suffocated and uncomfortable.

After a while, she asked softly. “Did I make you tired?”

Sterling leaned his tall, slender b*dy against the tree pole, placing the cigarette between his thin l*ps. He lowered his head and took out a silver lighter.

A deep blue flame shot up, illuminating his sharply defined and thin face, half in light and half in darkness, with flickering light and shadows, mysterious and dangerous.

He had just lit the cigarette when, the next second, it was sna tched away by a small hand.

“Sterling, as long as I was there. I would never allow you to harm yourself physically!”

The young man raised his slender, deep black narrow eyes. His expressionless handsome face was as cold as frost, and his fiery gaze fell on Audrey’s delicate and dusty face like a sharp sword. “Who do you think you are?”

Audrey’s breath tightened.

He was very unusual today, and what he said was quite hurtful!

She was extremely clever, how could she not understand what he was thinking in his heart?

It was nothing but today when she and Eden encountered danger, almost falling off a cliff, making him feel that he had brought them trouble!

She looked at him with long, fluttering eyelashes and said, “Sterling, can you speak nicely?”
