The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 648

"Okay, then. Let's go," Tom said with a nod.

Armed with raincoats and umbrellas, Tom and Miranda left the house.

The rain was pouring. Lightning flashed in the distance as the two headed toward Churron's city center.

…

Sherry and Cecilia were riding on an old bicycle with a sidecar attached. They were both drenched from the rain. As the sky darkened, it became harder for them to see the road ahead.

Gritting her teeth, Sherry did her best to ride the bicycle home.

"Mom, why don't we stop and take shelter somewhere? We can wait out the rain before we head home," Cecilia suggested.

"There's no shelter anywhere near us, Cece. Let's just get home as soon as we can," Sherry said.

"Alright, Mom. You should rest. I'll take us home," Cecilia urged.

"It's fine. Just sit back there. I'm not tired," Sherry firmly declined. She didn't want to let Cecilia ride in her place as she knew how hard it was to ride a bicycle under such weather conditions.

All of a sudden, there was a flash of light in the distance, and a Maybach came charging toward them.

When the women saw the Maybach, it was only a few feet away from them.

Sherry swiftly tried to veer the bicycle to the right, but the Maybach came rushing at them anyway.

"Arghhh!"

Sherry and Cecilia screamed in panic. The Maybach was going too fast. They couldn't avoid it.

There was a loud crash as the Maybach slammed into the bicycle.

Sherry and Cecilia were sent flying off the bicycle. They shrieked as they hit the ground.

Even though the driver of the Maybach tried to slam the brakes, the road was too slippery, and the car was going too fast. It couldn't be stopped in time.

When the Maybach finally stopped by the side of the road, a drunk young man came out, followed by two equally drunk men.

All three of them studied the damage. The front of the car was dented, and one of the lights had shattered.

The first man was infuriated, and his two friends swiftly started making comments.

"Look at the damage on your new car, Blake! It pains me to see it."

"That's right, Blake. Isn't it frustrating that a shabby bicycle did so much damage to your fancy Maybach?"

"Fucking hell! I won't let this slide!" The owner of the Maybach marched up to Sherry and Cecilia.

He was Blake Jessop, the son of a real estate tycoon in Churron.

When Sherry saw Cecilia lying motionless on the ground, she bore through the pain she felt and crawled over.

"Cece! Are you okay?" Sherry exclaimed.

"I'm fine, Mom. Don't worry. Are you hurt?" Cecilia asked as she gasped in pain.

"I'm alright. I'm just a little startled," Sherry assured as she helped Cecilia up.

As soon as they got up, they saw Blake and his lackeys coming over.

"Are you fucking blind? Why did you bang into my car?" Blake roared as he kicked Sherry in the abdomen.

Sherry yelped as she fell to the ground.

"Mom!" Cecilia shouted.

"I think I sprained my waist." Sherry groaned in pain.
