Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 974

Chapter 974 Angry

Luna slammed on the brakes.

The sudden stop threw Diana forward and then backward, her neck snapping uncomfortably. She felt like her head was about to explode, the pain sharp and disorienting. Her mind went blank.

She shook her head violently, her eyes scanning the window inch by inch. Outside, she saw the car that had nearly hit them just moments ago, now plunged into the river.

Luna, still recovering from the shock, turned quickly to look at Diana. "Diana, are you okay? Did you get hurt? I turned the wheel too hard."

Diana shook her head, still dazed. "I'm fine, I'm fine. Luna, are you hurt?"

Luna winced slightly as she shifted, her arm aching, but it wasn't anything serious. "I'm good. But there's no doubt that guy was after us. That bastard was trying to kill us."

Luna pulled out her phone and dialed 911, then added the emergency services number for an ambulance.

Even though the other driver had tried to kill them, she wasn't about to leave him to die alone.

They were okay for now, but he had plunged into the river. In these freezing temperatures, he'd have a long, painful fight ahead.

Diana took a few deep breaths, the worst of the pain fading. She finally pushed open the car door and stepped out.

It was late, and since it was a holiday, the roads were practically empty.

Cars passed by, none of them slowing down to check what had happened. No one was stopping to help.

Diana turned to Luna. "Luna, move the car over to the side. I'm going to see what's going on."

The river wasn't fast-moving, but it was deep. If the guy inside the car couldn't get out, if he was stuck in that freezing water, he wouldn't last long.

Luna frowned. "Don't go. It's too dangerous. He came after us to kill us."

Diana shook her head, her expression hardening. "No. He's not a threat to us anymore. He's got his own problems now. He's on his own."

Diana stepped into the biting cold wind, flinching for a moment as the chill cut through her. She tightened her jacket against the freezing night air. The temperature was well below freezing, and the sight of the man submerged in that icy river felt like something straight out of a nightmare.

She walked to the edge of the bridge, staring at the shattered guardrail. Her breath caught in her throat—the crash had been so violent, there was no obstruction at all. The car had just plummeted straight into the water.

"Help! Help me! Please, someone, save me!"

The cries for help were quickly shredded by the wind, lost in the freezing night.

Diana shouted back, her voice sharp and cold. "I can help you out, but you have to tell me—who's the one trying to kill me?"

Norman in the river paused, his body trembling from the freezing water. His voice came out weak, shivering with the cold.

In just a few minutes, the river's icy grip had nearly paralyzed him, his teeth chattering as he spoke, "I... I don't know! The brakes failed, I swear, I didn't mean to hurt you! Miss, you've got to be mistaken. Please, just help me out, or call an ambulance. I'm gonna die out here!"

His head popped out of the window, blood trickling down from a cut on his forehead, quickly freezing in the frigid air.

The car door wouldn't budge, and the window was barely open enough for him to stick his head out. The car was sinking fast.

He was terrified—more terrified than he'd ever been. He'd never imagined that Diana's driver would be so quick on the brakes, avoiding the crash completely, while his car had plunged into the river. It was maddening.

Diana's voice was cold as ice. "Since you won't tell me who's behind this, I guess I don't have to save you. Enjoy the freezing water."

Norman's face twitched, the desperation in his eyes now mixed with frustration.

This woman was heartless.

He was practically freezing to death, and she was still threatening him.
