hapter 735 He’ll Be Alright
Cherise’s phone suddenly buzzed. It was a call from Damien.
She wrinkled her brows and answered the call while waiting to cross the road. “Why are you calling at this
hour?”
“It’s been a while since we last met. I’m slightly concerned.” The man’s deep voice on the other end of the line was slightly uneasy. “Did something happen?”
“Of course not!” Cherise retorted, her lips forming a pout. “Mr. Whitlock had some questions about my thesis, so I was explaining it to him.”
“Alright, come home soon.” On the other end of the line, Damien took a deep breath. “I have this strange feeling that something is about to happen. I regret not accompanying you.”
Cherise pursed her lips. As the traffic light before her turned green, she checked for oncoming traffic. She started crossing the road while continuing her conversation with Damien. “Why are you suddenly being so timid and overcautious? I’m working at the research institute, and I’ll be commuting here daily. What could possibly go wrong?”
A piercing horn immediately blared after she finished speaking. As she held her cell phone, her hand froze. She turned towards the noise and saw a black sedan honking and barreling towards her.
“Watch out!” Damien’s frantic voice echoed in her ear. Cherise frowned and instinctively turned around. Beyond the black sedan speeding towards her, a red truck was heading directly for her.
The man’s familiar hand yanked her aside in the nick of time as he hugged her and rolled to the side of the road. There was a deafening crash behind her as the cars collided.
