Mia Lane had already gotten up by now, she too had a sleepless night, always having strange dreams.
She took the elevator downstairs with her backpack, holding her room card, still wearing her headphones.
No regrets in Aethelburg, her flight at ten in the morning, she’s going to Nethria.
Stepping out of the elevator, she approached the hotel front desk, calmly handing over her room card, "Checkout for 2501, thank you."
"Alright, have a safe trip."
After leaving the hotel, she waited at the crosswalk for the green light, she needed to cross the road.
A black Maybach sped up to the hotel entrance, Justin Kingston swiftly jumped out without waiting for the valet to help open the car door, and dashed into the hotel lobby!
He confirmed hurriedly at the front desk, "Hello, is the girl from room 2501 still here?!"
The receptionist replied in English, "Checked out a minute ago, just left."
Justin’s nerves were tense, he turned and bolted out of the lobby! Read complete version only at novèlfire.net
"Mr. Kingston! Be careful! Lots of cars!"
On the bustling road, Justin scanned for her figure with his deep, sharp gaze, just like an all-around sweep!
He ran a few steps and stopped, searching for her with his eyes...
Just a minute, she shouldn’t have gone far!
At this moment, Mia reached the green light, she had already crossed the street, and behind her, the light turned red again.
Planning to grab some breakfast, she was wearing headphones, still listening to Angela Chang’s song "Blade."
"Blades, sunlight sprawls in front of The Sunstone Monastery, pouring a pot of sweet tea, we chat about the past..."
"Blade, there are a thousand fake smiles, when will you come down the mountain? Remember to bring your Blade..."
She liked the lyrics, loved the melody, and even more loved the singer’s voice, the song seemed tailor-made for her.
Justin’s keen eyes caught sight of her figure across the street!
An overwhelming joy surged in his heart, he felt his blood heating up!
Numerous passing cars obscured her figure, she gradually drifted away, seeing a taxi pulling up beside her as she was about to open the car door.
"Mia! Don’t get in the car!!"
Justin took off in pursuit!
A fast-moving pickup truck braked abruptly, leaving deep tire marks on the road!
Getting closer and closer to the man darting out from the side of the road!
The giant-like pickup truck directly knocked Justin flying!
"Mr. Kingston!!" several of his men cried out in horror.
Justin, struck and sent flying, flipped several times in the air before landing heavily on the concrete edge of a flower bed, his head hitting the ground, bright red blood gushed out, darkness and dizziness overwhelmed him, he couldn’t move at all on the spot...
"Mia..." lacking even the strength to move a finger, her name faintly escaped his thin lips, "Mia... don’t go."
"Mr. Kingston!!" his men rushed over, terrified, "Mr. Kingston!!"
Meanwhile, Mia had already gotten into the departing taxi, moving over a hundred meters away.
Her heart suddenly throbbed painfully, so evidently, she didn’t know what was going on.
She glanced out the car window, seeing cars on the opposite lane stopping one after another.
The driver said, "Ah, another accident happened."
"Accident?" A song just finished, Mia caught those two words.
The driver sighed, "Yeah, I just saw someone getting knocked airborne through the rearview mirror, probably didn’t survive, you must be careful crossing the street, don’t rush the seconds."
"..." She didn’t reply, only her mood was heavy.
The accident scene created a long traffic jam.
Arriving swiftly, the traffic police pulled up the caution tape, medical personnel carefully lifted the blood-covered Justin onto the ambulance... and the vehicle raced towards the hospital!
Riventhal, in the hospital, VIP ward.
Monica Usher, lying on the bed with an IV drip, suddenly woke up, she opened her eyes, seeing Barbara Sutton staring at her without blinking.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Barbara asked, confused.
She gathered herself, shook her head, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.
