Hellbound With You novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Collision

Everything happened so fast that Abi didn't have time to react. Her mind somehow was able to process that something big had happened, that they were probably involved in an accident but it didn't happen in slow motion like she had seen in movies. It all happened as fast as a lightning strike.

The last thing she saw was the terror in Alex's eyes followed by a painfully loud sounds – groaning metallic screeching and glass shattering.

And then, there was an absolute silence as everything settled down. It was then that Abi realized that Alex had wrapped her up within his arms. His big palm was covering her head protectively, her face was buried in his chest like she was almost cocooned by him, using his entire body as her shield.

Abi couldn't hear anything for a moment, until the iron grip that was holding her moved.

"Abigail! Are you okay?" Alex's frantic voice echoed in her ear and she lifted her face to look at him, to see what had happened.

"I'm fine," she replied and her eyes widened in horror the instant she saw his face.

Alex was quick to cover her eyes with his hand, but Abi had already seen it. Blood was flowing from his head like waterfall, drenching his face and trailing down his neck. He was hurt, he was injured!

"A-a-lex…" her lips trembled. She lifted her hand to pull his hand off her eyes but Alex didn't budge.

"Stay still, please…" he begged. She felt his body stiffening, moving slightly, but she heard no groan of pain or anything else, just his breathing.

"Please Alex… y-you are… you need to…"

As her entire body began to tremble in fear, fear that Alex was badly hurt, Alex finally removed his hand from her eyes.

"I'm fine," he told her when their eyes met.

"No! Y-you're not!" Tears began to flow from her eyes. She was terrified from seeing him covered with blood all over, especially after seeing the front of the truck that crashed into them, into him!

"Shh… don't cry, believe me. I'm alright," he assured her and after checking her body, he calmly moved again. He pushed the door behind Abi open and asked her to stay still.

He moved to climb out first and it was then that Abi saw his back. His clothes were shredded up. His inner white shirt under his black jacket had turned blood red. Her eyes constricted in horror at the sight of it.

However, Alex was moving like he wasn't injured, like his back wasn't covered in blood. He didn't wince in pain, and nothing on his face or actions indicated that he was injured. If she hadn't seen the evidence with her own eyes, she would have thought that nothing had happened to him at all. Alex carefully took her out of the car. Abi opened her lips but closed them again because no words came out.

Alex was looking at the truck that struck them, his eyes as black as the deepest pit of hell.
