Thirty minutes before the incident happened, Jake was overflowing with both excitement and nervousness.
As the other cars passed over him one after another, Jake did not necessarily get irritated or angry though he couldn't help but speed up and overtake.
Even after a long time, it was obvious that Jake still had his talent and driving skills.
He then tightened his grip on the steering wheel and executed a swift and flawless drift.
A few seconds after, he was suddenly surrounded by two vehicles at the same time.
The mountain road was too narrow to accommodate three cars in a lane, but neither Jake nor the other racers were kind enough to give way.
They were too eager to surpass each other, which caused their cars to eventually collide.
Unfortunately, it was Jake who suffered the most from the crash that made his car flew out and fell off the cliff.
Jake knew that he would be dead as soon as the car hit the ground and exploded.
Afraid for that to happen, he gathered all of his strength and courageously unbuckled his seat belt and jumped out of the car.
It was that urgent decision of Jake during that very critical moment that saved his life.
Jake landed on a tree when he jumped out of the car, and just as he predicted, the car immediately caught fire when it hit the ground.
Jake felt excruciating pain as if all the bones in his body had been ripped apart.
Slowly, blood dripped down Jake's body.
He felt so powerless as if the energy he had before the race had vanished in a blink of an eye, which terrified him.
Only then did Jake realized how devastating his situation was.
As his consciousness became fainter and fainter, Jake suddenly remembered the small bag that Olivia had handed him before he got in the car.
When Olivia gave him the bag, Jake assumed that what's inside was just a chocolate bean, but when he opened it, he immediately smelled the familiar scent of medicine.
As soon as he took it, Jake felt a little lighter.
The intense pain that Jake had been enduring for a while had subsided while his wounds that were bleeding a lot a while ago rapidly healed.
As Jake felt that his wounds had healed, he could not believe how the medicine had done wonders in his body.
However, the effect of the medicine did not last long.
The pleasant feeling that it brought disappeared, and he suddenly felt exhausted.
Jake struggled to catch his breath but he tried to relax as much as he can.
However, after a few seconds, Jake lost consciousness.
