The call was from Lonnie, not Lucinda.


    As soon as the connection was made, Lonnie burst out with news, “Sir, we’ve Located Mrs.


    Payne’s car! It’s down in a valley, just 300 feet from Bay Tunnel.


    Our men spotted signs of a car veering off the road and tumbling down the hillside.


    They followed the tracks and found Mrs.


    Payne’s car, but…”


    Before Lonnie could finish, Nathan abruptly ended the call and mmed his foot on the elerator.


    The screech of the tires against the wet road filled the air.


    Lucinda had swerved off the road, plummeted down the hillside, and ended up in the valley…


    In such a scenario, Lucinda’s car would have likely rolled several times.


    Nathan felt a stabbing pain in his chest.


    With his red eyes, he kept reassuring himself, “She’ll be okay! Lucinda will be okay!”


    The car was a high-end model, known for its safety.


    She had to be alright.


    She just had to…


    Tears blurred his vision as he squinted and gripped the steering wheel tightly, and then barreled through the highway barrier.


    His car descended the hill rapidly amidst the torrential rain.


    “Mr.


    Payne! Mr.


    Payne!” Lonnie yelled, slipping on the slick hillside as he attempted to keep up with Nathan’s frantic descent.


    “He’s lost it! He’spletely lost it! I shouldn’t have told him.


    What if something happens to him?”


    Lonnie was nearly sobbing as he slid down the muddy slope.


    Nathan’s car careened down the hill at a breathtaking speed, seemingly out of control.


    Inside, Nathan’s eyes were filled with a fiery determination.


    He pressed the elerator further and expertly maneuvered the steering wheel to keep the car stable and prevent it from flipping.


    Eventually, his car mmed into a tree at the bottom of the valley.


    The sturdy tree halted the car’s momentum.


    The front of the car crumpled against the trunk, the windows shattered, and the airbag deployed.


    Turning his head at thest moment, Nathan avoided more serious injuries, though small shards of ss nicked his face.


    Despite the dramatic crash, he was in no life-threatening danger.


    Rain poured into the cabin through the shattered windshield.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Nathan’s grip on the steering wheel was so intense that his knuckles whitened.


    Raindrops hit the back of his hand, making his already pale hand appear even paler.


    Meanwhile, Lonnie skillfully navigated down the hill and eventually stopped under another tree.


    Lonnie approached and saw Nathan sitting in the driver’s seat, seemingly lost in thought.


    “Sir? Are you all right? You really scared me…”


    Nathan sighed and quietly whispered, “Lucinda’s car is as sturdy as this one.


    If I’m okay, she has to be fine too.


    ”


    Lonnie was at a loss for words.
