Chapter 551
The bumpy hill road was made for accidents to happen!
From the front mirror, Catelyn could see two cars chasing after them. The cars seemed to have been modified before as their car plate numbers were not visible. The faces of the drivers were twisted maliciously, and she was so afraid that she felt her heart jump up to her throat.
Cedrick was unfamiliar with the map, and with the cars chasing them picking up the pace dangerously fast, the situation was escalating fast.
Catelyn felt the air in the car shift.
She quickly took out Cedrick's phone and connected it to the charging cable and launched the GPS.
"I'll guide you. Turn left in a quarter of a mile!"
"Turn right at forty-eight meters, steep road ahead!"
It was quiet in the car, save only the sound of Catelyn guiding the direction, though not without a quiver in her voice.
Her eyes sparkled as she stared at the GPS.
"There's a crossroad in about eight hundred meters. Turn right into the narrow road, and go straight for another 4 kilometers. After that is a hundred-and- eighty-degree sharp turn, and we'll arrive at the closest town! We'll be safe once we arrive at the town! " instructed Catelyn.
Cedrick's eyes darkened when he heard that there was a sharp turn.
Catelyn kept reminding him of the crossroad ahead.
"Three more kilometers!"
"Less than two kilometers left!"
The car behind them seemed to have realized what they were trying to do as they picked up their speed once more.
Catelyn felt like she was floating as the car rumbled and shook.
Finally, when there were about 800 meters left, Catelyn reminded Cedrick once again, "We're almost reaching the sharp turn! We'll be safe after that!"
Cedrick hummed in reply as both his hands gripped the steering wheel, yet he did not seem to have any intention of slowing the speed.
His strong, muscular arm was tense as his wound on the shoulder seemed to have opened up slightly.
At first, Catelyn thought it was because there was still distance between them and the turn, but as they were approaching the turn, his speed did not relent!
"Slow down! It's a sharp turn, and we won't be able to turn if you're this fast! " Remind Catelyn once again.
Cedrick's eyes were straight ahead, his lips pursed tightly together.
The speed of the car went up gradually once again.
Catelyn's face shifted as she realized the possible reason, she almost jumped from the passenger seat.
"Is... Is the brake damaged?"
"Sit tight," replied Cedrick calmly as though nothing was wrong. "I won't let anything happen to you."
The fact that he refused to answer her question proved her right.
