My Mute Bride

Chapter 288 This Was Her Last Chance

As the accelerator roared, those who had yet to make it across the road dodged to either side, leaving a woman with a stroller standing in the middle of the road. Without thinking about it, Rachel sprinted forward and reached out to shove the woman and the stroller aside before turning to glance in fear at the oncoming car.

With a screech, the brakes echoed sharply through the air in between the buildings. Due to the friction with the road, the tires of the car were smoking and it left clear track marks on the ground. In the end, the car stopped in front of Rachel just in time.

By now, the surrounding people were frozen in fear and after a short moment of silence, whispers swept through the crowd like a wave.

Meanwhile, the woman who was shoved aside by Rachel had fallen on the ground, but thankfully, the stroller had been caught by someone who appeared to be the husband, and hadn’t tipped over.

After the husband helped his wife up and made sure that his wife and his child were both fine, he immediately ran up to Rachel. “Are you okay, miss?”

Though physically alright, Rachel was still in a state of shock over her latest near-death experience.

After ensuring that she was all right, the father pointed in the direction of the car and shouted, “What kind of a driver are you? Are you mad? Are you trying to kill someone?”

Meanwhile, Amber was still stopped in the middle of the road, and her perfectly still figure that was holding onto the steering wheel resembled a statue.

“Did the car malfunction?”

“Malfunction? No, the car left the flow of traffic on purpose.”

“Is the driver seeking revenge on society?”

In the middle of the whispers, Amber left the car.

“It’s a woman.”

At the sight of Amber, Rachel immediately calmed down. She clenched her fists and strode up to Amber under everyone’s watchful gaze.

Slap! She decked Amber across the face.

Even the man who was yelling was shocked into silence.
