Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2258

“W-Why do you have to speak so harshly? You’re cursing me, aren’t you?” Willow’s anger burned as she gritted her teeth and glared at him. At that moment, she observed Jasper driving the car through one road after another as if he had a destination.

“You don’t live here, do you?” she asked. curiously.

‘To a safe house,” he answered. “A safe house?” Willow blinked, and a flicker of thought crossed her mind. “Are you an undercover cop? Are you affiliated with Interpol?”

“No.” Jasper denied it directly. “No? Then, who exactly are you?” She persisted in her unyielding questioning.

“I already told you. I can’t reveal my identity, so stop asking.” With that, he abruptly clutched his chest. The steering wheel jerked in a different direction under his grip..

“Hey! Are you okay?” Willow was startled. She noticed him furrowing his brow, a sheen of cold sweat on his forehead.

“It’s nothing.” She nearly forgot that Jasper had been shot the previous night! He had only just gotten out of bed today and had driven all the way here to rescue her. Even if he’s as tough as iron, how much pain can he possibly endure?

“I’ll take the wheel. You should rest,” she suggested. “We’re almost there. I can hold on.” With that, he stepped harder on the accelerator. Willow quickly grasped her seatbelt in fear. Is he trying to re-enact a scene from Fast and Furious? How can an injured man drive at such high speeds?

Finally, the car entered a deserted alley. Once it stopped, Jasper pushed the door open to exit, only to collapse on the ground. Traces of blood stained his gray clothes and concentrated around his chest.
