Chapter 424
Not many words were needed between both strong men.
John swiftly climbed into the car and pressed the seat belt button to unfasten it as hard as he could, freeing Patrick.
Then, without delay, he promptly pushed against the car door, which had pinned Patrick firmly in place.
However, the car frame was dented so much that Patrick's body was virtually embedded into the door, and he would have been minced if the airbags did not shield his body.
"How is it?" Cordy was suddenly outside, asking John anxiously. "Can you get him out?!"
"Why did you come back?!" John bellowed, glowering.
But he never stopped shoving against the door.
He could not open it in case there was something sharp that had pierced Patrick's body. If he removed it, it might leave Patrick bleeding to death.
"I'll help," Cordy cried urgently then.
"No! Get out of here!" John snarled viciously at her.
"John!" she cried.
"No, you really should go," Patrick urged her too. "I'm worried the man won't help if you don't."
Cordy gritted her teeth, but she quietly retreated without going too far.
She had this nagging worry that the car would suddenly catch fire.
She flinched from the thought, the sudden fear almost leaving her suffering a mental breakdown.
No.
That was not going to happen.
She stared fixedly at the spark beneath the car, which threatened to ignite.
No! She had to stop it!
Cordy did not even pause to think and took off her shoes, intent on snuffing out the spark...
Poof.
At that same instant, the spark ignited, and a fire broke out instantly!
