My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 747

Ryan stared ahead, his expression grim.

He had already checked the car—its brakes were completely non-functional, and it was a sports car, which was speeding up rapidly and impossible to stop now.

There was no saving it…

Even with the situation analyzed, Ryan maintained his composure as he turned to Ellie. “What did you have for breakfast this morning?”

With tears streaming down her face and panic etched on her features, Ellie blinked at him, clearly confused. “What did you say, Ryan?”

“I asked if you had breakfast.”

“It's the middle of a crisis! Why are you asking about food?” She gasped, “We're going too fast to make that turn…!”

“So, you did eat?” Ryan pressed, his tone steady.

“Yeah, I did.”

“Good. At least you won't be starving when you die.”

Hearing this, Ellie's tears flowed even more freely. “But I don't want to die! I don't want to die!” she sobbed.

Ryan kept his eyes fixed on the road. “Ahead, there's a river. You can swim. When we get close, you need to jump out! There's still a chance to survive!”

“But the river's current is too strong! I might not make it! You're a better swimmer than I am! I should steer. You jump!” Ellie insisted.

The road was winding, and someone needed to control the steering wheel at that speed. If they both jumped at the same time, the car would lose control, and they might both be doomed.

Ryan was handing her the hope of survival.

He replied to her insistence, “I'm your brother; I need to protect you.”

“No way! This is my life; I can't let you take my place!” Ellie was adamant.

Ryan sighed. “Alright, if you jump, it's likely a death sentence, too. Let's not argue about it.”

“…Ryan, is dying painful?”

“No,” Ryan explained calmly. “When the body experiences severe trauma, it releases dopamine, which helps dull the pain during emergencies. If the car crashes, we'll probably die very quickly, so we won't even feel it. There's nothing to be scared of.”

Ellie's response was silence, her eyes wide.

Not be scared?

“Listen to yourself, Ryan,” she said, tears cascading down her cheeks. “But I don't want to die!”
