Chapter 741
Chapter 741:
Just as Milton had anticipated, on his second round in the enclosed square, the white car suddenly emerged in front of them because its driver had become befuddled.
Upon reaching the point of no return at the turn junction, the white car had neither room to go back nor time to reverse.
This was precisely the outcome Milton had been counting on. He had successfully compelled the white car to come to a complete halt.
However, he had overlooked one detail.
Suppose the intent of their pursuer was not to elude but to collide together, the circumstance would transform entirely.
At that instant, the driver of the white car, instead of hitting the brake, slammed the accelerator to the floor when confronted with the dead-end. Simultaneously yanking the steering wheel and flicking on the blinding high beams, the driver bolted directly toward Milton and Candice at breathtaking speed.
This was life-threatening behavior.
Milton was taken aback by the scene. He was driving so fast that braking was out of the question. The factory road was tight, leaving insufficient room to swerve and avoid the oncoming white vehicle. As the white car neared a collision with his own, Milton instinctively jerked the steering wheel toward the passenger seat.
It happened too fast.
Before Candice had a chance to react, a deafening crash echoed, and the car trembled as if caught in an earthquake. She sensed a sudden upward force, as if she were about to be launched from her seat, but the seatbelt kept her securely in place.
She witnessed a blinding flash of white and a shower of sparks. The thunderous noise reverberated in her ears. She was dizzy from the violent shaking, and everything in front of her appeared to float and distort. The ringing in her ears, coupled with a queasy weightless sensation and a pounding headache, forced Candice to shut her eyes. It all unfolded in the blink of an eye.

Disoriented for a moment, she had no idea how much time elapsed before her senses returned. She summoned all her strength to open her eyes. She was keenly aware that they had been in an accident. It was at that moment that Candice fully grasped the terrifying ordeal of a car crash.
Her first instinct was to turn toward Milton in the driver’s seat.
At this point, the inflated airbag cushioned Milton’s face. His forehead was smeared with blood, trickling and spreading. Dawn hadn’t broken, and the interior lights were extinguished, leaving Candice engulfed in darkness.
She was dumbfounded, her heart skipping a beat.
Choking back sobs, Candice nudged Milton and urged him, “Wake up, wake up. What happened to you? Please, don’t frighten me!” Regrettably, Milton’s eyes remained closed, and he was motionless. Candice was overwhelmed by fear, her heart pounding as she stretched her trembling hand, attempting to discern if he was still breathing.
By a stroke of luck, Milton was clinging to life, his breath barely noticeable. Candice, fragile and bewildered, found herself in a dilemma. Her next steps were unclear.
