Love from My Dominant Boss novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 A Narrow Escape

When I saw Ronan’s excited expression, I realized that he had misunderstood what I said.

“Ronan, we can only be friends and can never be a couple. If you continue to act like this, I don’t think we can even be friends,” I told him.

While Ronan’s feelings and concern touched me, it did not mean that we should be a couple.

I had spelled things out to Ronan, so he should be clear of my decision. Although he then appeared sullen, he did not say anything. He just looked at me with disappointment.

I didn’t want the mood between us to remain awkward. Since Ronan was not going to say anything, I quickly asked him to leave. “If there is nothing else, you can go back first. I’m tired and would like to rest for a while.”

He looked at me for a long time before standing up and leaving dejectedly.

After Ronan left, I breathed a sigh of relief. However, I suddenly felt guilty toward him.

The days passed by quickly as Michael and Emma’s wedding edged closer. Soon, it was the day before their wedding, and I felt indescribable agony.

All this while, I had been shutting myself at home. Since the wedding was happening tomorrow, I felt terrible. I knew I would not stop overthinking if I remained at home alone.

Therefore, I decided to go out for a walk and get some fresh air, hoping it would make me feel better.

The scenery outside lifted my mood somewhat; however, I was still unhappy.

As I walked alone and aimlessly along the road, my mind could not stop recalling the times I spent with Michael.

Meanwhile, a car was following me from behind. Since I was distracted by my thoughts, I did not notice it.

When I walked onto the pedestrian crossing, that car suddenly rushed toward me.

It was a red light, so the car was supposed to stop. However, it continued to rush at me. I was shocked and too stunned to react.

Seeing that the car was about to hit me, I quickly dashed away and screamed in fright. I reacted by instinct because I could not let anything happen to me now that I was pregnant.

Although I dodged the car in the nick of time, it still brushed past me. As it sped, it stirred the air with a force so great that made me miss a step and fall to the ground.

I saw the car sped away and frowned in pain. At the same time, I tried my best to remember the car plate number.

Then, I felt a wave of pain in my abdomen and touched my belly fearfully. I was worried that something had happened to my baby. At this moment, what mattered to me the most was the baby in my womb. I could not let anything happen to it.

Therefore, I grabbed my phone in a panic and dialed the emergency number with shaky fingers. The pain in my abdomen filled me with fear.

Please don’t let anything happen to the baby! Please!

There were many people around when that car tried to knock me down. Many of them now came up to me. Someone tried to pull me up but I did not dare to move, fearing that any movement would put the baby in danger.
