A Moment in Destiny

At this point, Adam smiled in an embarrassed manner; he lowered his head and said, “But you haven’t promised me yet! Others say you’re a flirt, but I don’t think so. To me, you’ll always appear pure and loyal! Even though we aren’t lovers, but we turned out to be best friends!”

Rae didn’t expect things to turn out this way; if Rae and Adam were best friends, then how did he end up in a car accident?

“When we were together, we’d go out drinking, partying, and sometimes, we went drag racing! Rae, you even drove up to 180 km per hour, don’t you remember?” Adam seemed to be deep in thought, nostalgically recalling past memories.

Rae stuttered, “180?”

“Yeah! You haven’t sped like that afterward, have you?”

Rae nodded, “Nope, never again!”

“How about we-”Adam stopped speaking; he looked down at his legs in an upset manner.

Rae burst out, “Adam, go do rehab; it’ll be difficult, but I think if you keep at it, you’ll definitely be able to walk again!”

“Rae!” Adam sounded a bit emotional, “I-”

“I believe in you!” Rae cut him short. She knew that he needed encouragement right now.

Rae continued, “I still want to go speeding, so let’s make a deal! If you don’t mind, I still want us to stay friends!”

“Of course!” Adam immediately shook his head, “Why would I mind, as long as you’ll still have me around!”

Rae laughed.
