Reborn Wife

Chapter 191 

Thirty minutes before the incident happened, Jake was overflowing with both excitement and nervousness.

As the other cars passed over him one after another, Jake did not necessarily get irritated or angry though he couldn't help but speed up and overtake.

Even after a long time, it was obvious that Jake still had his talent and driving skills.

He then tightened his grip on the steering wheel and executed a swift and flawless drift.

A few seconds after, he was suddenly surrounded by two vehicles at the same time.

The mountain road was too narrow to accommodate three cars in a lane, but neither Jake nor the other racers were kind enough to give way.

They were too eager to surpass each other, which caused their cars to eventually collide.

Unfortunately, it was Jake who suffered the most from the crash that made his car flew out and fell off the cliff.

Jake knew that he would be dead as soon as the car hit the ground and exploded.

Afraid for that to happen, he gathered all of his strength and courageously unbuckled his seat belt and jumped out of the car.

It was that urgent decision of Jake during that very critical moment that saved his life.

Jake landed on a tree when he jumped out of the car, and just as he predicted, the car immediately caught fire when it hit the ground.

Jake felt excruciating pain as if all the bones in his body had been ripped apart.

Slowly, blood dripped down Jake's body.

He felt so powerless as if the energy he had before the race had vanished in a blink of an eye, which terrified him.

Only then did Jake realized how devastating his situation was.

As his consciousness became fainter and fainter, Jake suddenly remembered the small bag that Olivia had handed him before he got in the car.

When Olivia gave him the bag, Jake assumed that what's inside was just a chocolate bean, but when he opened it, he immediately smelled the familiar scent of medicine.

As soon as he took it, Jake felt a little lighter.

The intense pain that Jake had been enduring for a while had subsided while his wounds that were bleeding a lot a while ago rapidly healed.

As Jake felt that his wounds had healed, he could not believe how the medicine had done wonders in his body.

However, the effect of the medicine did not last long.

The pleasant feeling that it brought disappeared, and he suddenly felt exhausted.

Jake struggled to catch his breath but he tried to relax as much as he can.

However, after a few seconds, Jake lost consciousness.

He only woke up when Olivia and Leonard found him.

Jake's body was covered with blood which made the doctors think that he had suffered a severe injury, but it turned out to be the opposite.

It was not something life-threatening.

Everyone on the site said that Jake was lucky.

Jake, on the other hand, did not believe in superficial things such as luck.

He was pretty sure that it was the medicine that Olivia gave him which saved his life.

Jake's face brightened when he saw Olivia, but she told him to relax and said, "There's no need for you to thank me.Leonard was the first to discover you"

"No, Olivia.I would not be alive right now if it weren't because of the medicine you gave me."

"It's getting late.We should go back” Jake was about to say something more, but Olivia cut him off and abruptly changed the subject.

"I'm hungry” In a flash, Jake hurriedly sat up from the bed and exclaimed, "Oh, what do you want to eat? Let's go! My treat."

Ashley heaved a sigh of relief when she saw how lively Jake was.

Then, she placed both of her hands on her waist and scolded, "You made us all worry! Do you still plan to die next time? If you do this again, Olivia and I will let you die”

Jake waved his hands in front of Ashley as if saying that he had enough and said, "No, it was scary.Experiencing it once was enough.I could not afford to be in the same life and death situation again."

Because of that, Ashley spared him and simply rolled her eyes.

The three of them then prepared to leave the racetrack.

Leonard wanted to send them off because Olivia and Ashley could not drive while Jake was injured.

Before he could even open his mouth to offer help, Olivia refused.

"No, it's better to avoid suspicion."

Olivia's single sentence about suspicion refrained Leonard from making further excuses.

The only reason why Olivia and Ashley got into his car earlier was because they were in a hurry to save Jake.

Now that no life was at stake, they would rather hire a driver than accept Leonard's help.

Jake did not try to meddle with the two and only said, "It's fine.I did not hurt my foot.I'll drive."

With that, Olivia, Ashley, and Jake got into the car.

Before they left, Jake was forced to pay a fine because the race car he used was completely destroyed.

Ashley, on the other hand, did not dare to ask how much was it because she did not want to feel uncomfortable about its price.

It was already very late when they got home.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
