Agnes had a brief overnight stay in the hospital.
Beatrice, on the other hand, had mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
The kidnapping of Agnes by Hammer had caused a major tunnel accident and was widely reported. Seven cars had collided in the tunnel, causing a six-hour traffic jam.
Fortunately, due to the slow speed in the tunnel, no casualties were reported.
Nevertheless, Agnes stumbled upon a video clip on the internet.
The video showed Jared and Hammer driving towards each other at a breakneck speed, narrowly avoiding a collision.
The tunnel exit had been blocked by a police car at the time.
Hammer had no choice but to drive in the opposite direction, and Jared was waiting at the other end of the tunnel exit.
If Jared had moved out of the way, Hammer would have left the tunnel, taken an exit ramp, and probably disappeared, making him difficult to catch.
So, Jared risked his life to stop Hammer.
The final distance between the two cars was a matter of split seconds.
If Hammer had been ruthless, it would have been a mutual destruction.
Agnes watched the last moment over and over again.
She felt a chill down her spine, as if she had seen the Grim Reaper in that split second.
Agnes had fainted in the car at the time. Although she had experienced this thrilling scene, it was completely different from facing it directly like Jared.
What was Jared feeling at that moment?
He risked his life for her.
Agnes couldn't quite put her feelings into words. It was a mix of shock, emotion, and sorrow.
