A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1318

Only the mountain's breeze and everyone's panting could be heard.

After Sam opened the door, he took out a pocket knife and cut off the seatbelt before carefully slicing through the airbag.

With the driver within reach, all there was left was for Sam to pull him out, and it would be done and dusted.

Sam took a deep breath and gingerly pulled—the car shook again, but only slightly this time. After all, he made sure to keep his hands still and ensured the car was balanced from the inside.

However, he could feel just from a slight pull that the driver's legs were stuck.

He would not get the man out with brute strength, and the car might even tip off because of the pressure. He was not going to get the driver out unless he freed his legs…

Sam only hesitated for a beat before he leaned over, putting his upper body into the car.

'No!'

Quinn's face paled when he saw Sam's death-defying stunt.

Earlier, Sam only had his hands in the car. He might react quick enough if the car tipped over and avoid falling down the hill with it.

But now, half of him was in there—if the car did tip over, he was dead meat.

Quinn's whole body shuddered, afraid to look—afraid that he would disappear as she watched.

But she forced herself to look while she prayed silently.

On the other hand, Sam could see that the driver's legs were caught under what remained of the dashboard, since most of the front end of the car was left crumpled from the crash.

However, Sam could only pry the debris off slightly even if he used all the strength he had.

He was afraid of waking the driver too—if the driver got too agitated, they would all fall together.

Getting out of the car, he told Bob, "Get the jack from my car."

Bob quickly did so without a moment's delay, and Sam slowly slid the jack between the driver and the dashboard, pushing a gap open inch by inch.
