The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398 Life on the Line

“Jolly, where are you going?” Rachel chased Jolly all the way through an alley and ran into the parking lot at the entrance of the town.

Jolly looked anxiously at the distant hills, turning her head and saying, “Leroy called me and said that he got into a car accident on the mountain. My calls can’t get through now.”

Rachel was shocked, but she quickly soothed Jolly’s ruffled feathers. “Don’t worry. Call the police and the fire department first.”

“I want to find him.”

“Okay. I’ll go with you. Wait for me. I’ll go back and get the car keys.”

“I’ll drive you.”

Justin’s voice came from behind. He hadn’t even taken off his apron before hurrying after them.

He drove here on his own, and the car was parked right next to them.

Jolly froze when she opened the car door.

Rachel gave a nudge and reminded her. “Let’s go! Leroy is waiting for you.”

Only then did Jolly recover. At this moment, she couldn’t care less about anything else as she hurriedly climbed into Justin’s car.

They drove out of the town and onto the winding road.

Along the way, Rachel called the fire department.

“Don’t worry. The police have already been dispatched.”

It was completely dark. There was no one on the mountain road, and there was even fog.

They were driving fast, and the lights in the car were dim. Only the street lights on the mountain road outside flickered as they passed, shining on Jolly’s pale face.

“It’s foggy.” Jolly stared out the window, her face turning for the worse.

Accidents were prone to happen when it was foggy, and it also meant that it would be harder for the fire department to rescue him.

Where the hell is Leroy?

Rachel reminded Justin, “Drive slower. Safety first.”

“Don’t worry.”

He said those two words in a concise manner to reassure them.

Rachel held Jolly’s hand tightly. It was useless to say anything comforting at this moment.

After driving for half an hour, Jolly suddenly exclaimed, “Stop!”

Rachel hadn’t figured out what was going on yet, but Jolly pointed to a place outside the window. “I see him! Right there!”

Justin parked the car on the side of the road immediately, and the three of them got out of the vehicle.

Due to the heavy fog, they didn’t see the accident on the roadside when they got out of the car. So it wasn’t until they followed Jolly and ran closer that Rachel’s expression changed, and her knees softened.

Justin reacted quickly and held her up by the shoulders.

At this moment, a silver sedan was shaking as it hung off the cliff’s edge. The driver’s seat was hanging in the air. Below that was an abyss, and a figure could be faintly seen in the driver’s seat.

Jolly was so terrified that her soul nearly left her body.

“Leroy!” She dared not shout loudly or even touch the car for fear that it would lose its balance and fall off the cliff if she even laid a single finger on it.

A faint male voice sounded from the car, penetrating the mist. “Jolly, is that you?”

“It’s me! Leroy, you can hear me!”

Jolly’s voice was trembling, and her eyes were red-rimmed. “Are you okay?”

“I’m okay. Don’t be afraid. I’m sorry, baby. My phone fell, so I couldn’t contact you. I made you worried.”

“Why are you still thinking about your phone?!” Jolly was about to burst into tears.

“You said that I have to be on call 24 hours a day and that I can’t not answer your calls…”

“Stop talking! Stop talking!”
