The Last Time I Loved Him (Autumn and Ryan) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 7

Under her skeptical gaze, I picked up my bag, ready to leave.

Suddenly, a truck came barreling toward us at full speed.

Ophelia and I didn't have time to react before we were both struck and thrown to the ground.

When I regained some clarity, we were pinned beneath the truck. Ophelia was unconscious. I struggled to pull her to a safe spot, barely able to catch my breath when a massive explosion erupted, setting the area ablaze. Thick smoke billowed as people scattered, fleeing in panic.

I tried to find an exit, but chaos reigned - debris was everywhere. A large, burning piece of the vehicle had fallen, blocking the path between Ophelia and me. At that moment, I saw Stephen rushing in. He went straight to Ophelia, lifting her without hesitation when she didn't respond.
