Chapter 422
As Cordy calmed down, she tried to move her leg and managed to do it so slightly.
Then, she clenched his teeth, and the car groaned as John abruptly released the driver's seat, allowing it to fall heavily.
At the same time, the chauffeur was panting.
Cordy's heart was still racing—if she had been any slower, her leg would have been crushed beneath the seat again.
She did not even want to imagine what would happen once the weight of the chair and the chauffeur slam down on her foot!
However, the instant she heaved a sigh of relief, he saw that John's hands were caught beneath the driver's seat.
It was too dark to see his face, but Cordy's heart was racing as she cried out in shock, "John!"
She had no idea if he did not have the strength to get his hands out in time, or if John wanted to use his hands as a buffer for her leg in case she had not gotten her legs out.
All she knew was that her vision was blurring, and she could not even see in front of her.
Nonetheless, John withstood the pain that cut into his bone without a sound and rested for a couple seconds pushing the driver's seat upwards again-with the chauffeur still on it.

Instead, he turned and carried Cordy in his arms again, and as she leaned against his chest, all she could smell was the scent of sweat and the pungent smell of blood.
Pushing against the airbag, he managed to pull Cordy out from behind it and started to crawl out through the car window frame. Then, he turned and carefully carried her out as well, making sure that she was not getting cuts from the glass shards.
She had her arms around his neck, and after he managed to pull her out from the car, he carried her a good distance away before gently putting her on the ground. Dropping to a couch beside her, he started to check if she was injured and for anything that needed treatment right away...
