Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 470

Caroline's POV:

After leaving the clinic, I started the car and left. While driving, I thought of my conversation with Samantha just now.

'What on earth is Charles hiding from me? Is he treating me so well just to trick me into getting back together with him?'

All of a sudden, the car swerved. Thereafter, the pungent smell of gasoline wafted into my nose.

My heart almost leapt from my chest. I wanted to stop the car to check what had happened, but I soon found out that the brakes weren't working.

"What the hell?" I muttered, flooring the breaks again.

'Damn it! Something happened to the brakes!'

I grabbed the steering wheel with both hands, attempting to control the car.

There was a car behind me, honking at me like a lunatic.

"What am I going to do? Argh!" I tried to suppress my fear, carefully avoiding the car in front of me.

Just then, my phone rang.

In a fit of panic, I answered the call.

"Help! Something happened to the car, I'm in—" "Caroline, it's me, Samantha. I'm right behind you. What's wrong with your car?" The sound of her calm voice gave me a sense of security.

After taking a deep breath, I answered, "Samantha, something has happened to the brakes. I can't stop the car."

Having said that, I stepped on the brakes again.

But it didn't help to slow down the car's pace.

My mind suddenly went blank.

"Caroline, listen to me. Shift to a lower gear, and then turn on the emergency lights," Samantha instructed.

"Got it," I answered.

I did just as she told me.

"How much gas do you have in your tank right now?" asked Samantha.

I glanced at the fuel gauge and replied, "I'm running out of gas."

'What a horrible day!'

I didn't have the time to think about why I happened to choose a defective car from the garage.

"Just keep driving, Caroline. All you have to do is to consume all your gasoline. Take a deep breath, and calm yourself." The sound of Samantha's voice was a comfort to me.

"Okay. I will," I replied firmly.

For my children's sake, I wouldn't give up on hope.

Soon, I saw through the rearview mirror that the car behind me overtook me.

"Samantha, is that you? Are you the one who's ahead of me right now?"

"It's me. I'll help you stop the car," she replied

I had no idea how she would help me.

There was no time for me to think, so I just focused on holding onto the steering wheel and trying not to crash.

Samant's car slowed down. I watched as the bumper of my car got closer and closer to the back of her car.

"Eek!" I screamed, closing my eyes.

Thereafter, my car bumped against hers. My head hit the steering wheel because of the resistance, and the seatbelt pulled me back to my seat.

My head was spinning at this point.

By the time I opened my eyes again, I saw Samantha's face outside the window. She was banging on the window, visibly worried.

I immediately unfastened the seatbelt with trembling hands and opened the door. Not long after, I collapsed in Samantha's arms and burst into tears.

"Samantha, I'm still alive. I'm alive," I stammered.

"You're okay. You're safe now," Samantha replied as she kept me standing.

After she comforted me again and again, I gradually calmed down.

"Why did you suddenly show up?" I cried while looking at her in the eye.

A smile appeared on Samantha's lips. "I noticed that you weren't in a good mood, so I got worried and followed you," she answered.
