Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 688

same lane, the two cars were rapidly closing in on each other. Now, there were only two possibilities. One was for one of them to brake, pulling over to let the other pass. The other was a head–on collision, which would result in a fatal–crash. But if Jared hit the brakes, Hammer would charge right out of the tunnel and escape. He was driving in the wrong direction, and the tunnel entrance had a feeder road. Once Hammer got out there and merged into traffic, he’d be almost impossible to track. Especially since his reckless driving had already caused big traffic jam. As soon as the tunnel entrance got clogged, he could make his escape. But if Hammer stopped, it would be as if he was admitting guilt. Now it was pretty much a gamble on their courage, the stakes were their own lives. Hammer and Jared locked eyes. Hammer’s face was grim, like a man with nothing to lose. But Jared was incredibly calm. Jared didn’t even touch the brakes. In fact, when they were closest, he even stepped on the gas to accelerate.

He picked up Agnes and started running towards the tunnel exit. After several miles, he finally reached the end of the tunnel. The ambulance was waiting outside. When Agnes woke up, she had a splitting headache, and she was groggy and dizzy. The smell of disinfectant filled the air. She saw white walls and doctors moving around her. When she woke up, everyone gathered around. Agnes thought she heard someone calling her name. The voice was familiar. It sounded like Jared. Rubbing her head, she gradually regained consciousness.
