Essie seemed to have kicked by him into the ocean of ice. Instantly, all her internal organs and even pores turned cold.
He had never liked her before?
Her heart began to convulse violently in the cold. "You ward off the bullet for me," she muttered softly, with her voice as low as a mosquito's and no confidence in this matter.
"Does shielding off a bullet for you mean that she likes you? You are thinking too much! " He coldly curled his lips and gave a mocking smile. "It's just an instinct. After all, you are my wife. If you're dying, then wouldn't I become a widower? I don't like this word! "
Really?
The explanation was so cruel that it was like a raging fire, burning up all the hopes and vitality in her heart, leaving only the desolate and barren plain in despair, lifeless and hopeless.
His intelligence, his tricks, and even his affection, all overwhelmed her. She was always a loser in front of him, a loser.
However, she still wanted to keep a good image so as to restore her dignity. Therefore, she decided to stop loving him. She didn't love him any more.
She struggled to sit up, put on her clothes and walked outside. She didn't want to stay here anymore. She didn't want to see the man who had broken her heart again.
The instant the door was closed, Zac's eyes deepened, like the dark night outside the window.
It was late at night. Essie drove alone on the quiet road. This was the first time she had driven outside alone. She had bodyguards around her all the time. Only when she was with Zac would she remove them.
The road was quite remote with no pedestrians and vehicles. An inexplicable fear arose in her heart.
The South Ring Road was the only way to Alice's villa, and when the car stopped at the first crossing, a man in a black windbreaker rushed out from nowhere. 'Bang!' the man hit the head of the car and fell down to the ground.
She was frightened and slammed on the brake. But she didn't get off the car. Her first reaction was that someone had pretended to get hurt to blackmail her.
But when she saw the man did not move for a long time, she was afraid. What if she really hit someone?
After hesitating for a while, she opened the car door.
"Sir, are you okay?" She walked to the man's side and patted him gently. She would call the ambulance if he was seriously injured.
The man suddenly jumped up with something in his hand and suddenly stabbed at her arm.
She felt a sharp pain and kicked him in the crotch instinctively. When he covered the crotch, she ran into the car in a panic.
She locked the window of the car, fearing that the man would run to attack her. But when she looked outside again, the man had disappeared, like a ghost.
Without thinking too much, she stepped hard on the accelerator, and the car sped away...
The bell rang at midnight. The low and hoarse sound echoed in the quiet night. Zac sat up from the bed as if waking up from a dream. He put on his robe and went downstairs.
He thought Essie was downstairs, but it was empty.
He called Ann in, "Where is Mrs. Rong?"
"Lady has left for a long time. Don't you know that?" Ann looked at him in confusion.
Zac was shocked. He had always thought that she was in the hall. It was so late. He didn't expect that she would leave again.
"Damn it!" He swore to himself, 'What a silly woman! Didn't she know that she was in danger at any time?' She didn't even bring a bodyguard with her. Wasn't she afraid of danger if she drove outside in the middle of the night?
He rushed out like a hurricane without even changing his clothes.
At this time, there were very few cars on the road. He drove so fast that he didn't even care about the traffic lights.
At the exit of the South Ring Road, a Porsche was driving in a tortuous way. As if the driver was drunk, but only a few seconds later, the front of the car crashed into the guardrail.
Zac stepped on the gas suddenly. When the car was coming closer, he recognized it was the car of Essie.
Damn it! Suddenly, his heart sank. He came to a halt, jumped out of the car and rushed to the Porsche.
Leaning against the steering wheel, Essie closed her eyes, and her forehead was bleeding. She was in a coma.
"Essie!" He opened the door with trembling hands and took her out of the car. His insides were twisting into a ball. He felt annoyed, self-reproach, anxiety... All sorts of emotions gathered together into a torrent, making him want to give himself a good beating.
In the hospital, Essie did another check-up for her. It was just a bruise, and there was no severe impact on her head. However, she did not wake up. She was getting weaker and weaker.
Zac's heart was burning with anxiety. "You little fool. Wake up right now. As long as you wake up, I will return the old Zac to you."
At the moment he saw her injured and fainted, the knot in his heart was untied, and all the memories that were forced to forget surged up.
