Chapter 115
The area around Juliette’s car was now in complete chaos.

It turned out that when the other car made the emergency stop, the female driver had been pushed out of the vehicle by her husband.
She rolled a few times on the ground before finally coming to a stop, her body covered in scrapes.
The people around her didn’t dare to move, they all stopped their cars and got out to see what was going on.
The woman, her face bruised and swollen, cried, “Please save my husband and child. They’re still in the car. It’s out of control! It’s too dangerous for them like this. Please help us!”
Just now, that car went out of control, like a crazy bull. It couldn’t be stopped. Now the car has rushed out, no one dares to save them.
Immediately someone comforted her, “Don’t worry. We’ll call the police now. They will come and take care of this soon. Please calm down. Stay calm.”
Seeing this situation, the people around her felt terrified, they couldn’t calm down.
The words of comfort they spoke seemed incredibly weak.
If it were their children and husbands in that out–of–control car, they would be scared out of their wits by now.
The woman was already terrified.
She cried her heart out, “Please, I beg you, save my husband and child, please! They’ll get hurt in the car, they definitely will!”
The woman was on the verge of a breakdown.
Her eyes were bloodshot.
As she pleaded, she gasped for breath and fainted.
The people around her were also nervous and scared, but they were helpless in the face of this situation.
Reporters had already arrived at the scene, filming and reporting on the situation.
An ambulance rushed to the scene and took the woman to the hospital.
The professionals followed the ambulance.
Juliette and Patrick followed the car closely. It was moving so fast, constantly rushing forward, scratching many cars along the way.
The driver wanted to stop, but the car was out of control.
The driver was a 35–year–old man, and there was a four or five–year–old child in the child safety seat in the back.
Those whose cars got hit thought it was a drunk driver at first, cursing, until they realized something was wrong, and everyone who could get out of the way did so as quickly as possible.

Those who couldn’t dodge in time were all scared out of their wits after the car went past them.
“We have to stop the car. It’s not going to work if it keeps rushing like this. The adult and child will be scared out of their wits.” Juliette said, pushing the car to its limits.
She was thinking exactly what Patrick was thinking.
“Pull over, you get out. I’ll go after him,” Patrick said.
Juliette frowned upon hearing this. “Are you going to drive the car in front of them and let them hit you? That’s too dangerous.”
Patrick continued to observe the car in front of him, “Drive the car over and parallel to them. I will find a way to let the person on the other side open the passenger door. I will go up and replace the man.”
“Are you crazy? At this speed, not to mention you can’t get off, even if you do, how can you get to the car? It’s too dangerous!” Juliette disagreed.
“If I don’t go over there, the father and son might die.” Patrick’s voice sounded cold. He said, “Give it a try.”
Juliette turned to look at him and saw that his expression was very serious, and it was clear that what he said was what he was thinking.
“There’s no need to try; if you rush up there like this, there’s only a dead end,” Juliette said, “Louis still needs you. Even if it’s just for Louis, I can’t let you risk your life.”
The car was still charging forward, like a headless fly.
They felt like they could hear the child screaming inside the car.
Patrick closed his eyes and thought about the road ahead. There wasn’t much road left; at the end of this road was a reservoir that was still under construction.
If the car drove in, they would die.
Patrick suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him. The neon lights were still flashing, and there were still many cars on the road.
The child’s screams from the car were even more heart–wrenching. Even without the adult’s voice, one could imagine that the young father was already on the verge of breaking down.
Not far ahead, there was a traffic jam.
“If I don’t go over, more people will die. Come on, let’s try it.” Patrick’s voice was extremely calm.
Juliette was stunned when she heard his voice. It was like hearing water droplets falling on a stone surface, watching the moon slowly climb up the hillside, and seeing the river slowly flow into the sea.
Everything was so slow, so clear, as if everything was under control. In this slowness, she actually developed trust in Patrick, believing that he could successfully leave this car and jump onto the other one.
“Patrick?”
“Yeah.”
“Before you make any move, think about it, your son Louis is always waiting for you to come home.”

Patrick pursed his lips, and after a moment, he said seriously, “Yes.”
At this critical moment, he understood what Juliette meant.
<392%
She reminded him that he still had someone he cared, that he must not take risks, that he must remember that there were people at home, so that he could overcome all difficulties and go home alive.
Go home alive.
He said, “Don’t worry, I will. For Louis, and for you.”
There was another traffic jam ahead.
That car started ramming into the traffic again, and the sparks from the collisions were terrifying.
Many people were listening to the radio and got out of the way early on, but there were many cars on the road, and not every car could get out of the way in time.
Patrick said, “Drive over.”
Juliette did as he said and drove over, trying to drive parallel to the car.
Patrick said, “No one in the Vaughn family is protecting you. You are abandoned by your family, abandoned by this world. I will go home alive and continue to protect you at home, so that you will be cared for all your life.”
Juliette was stunned.
What he said was a bit harsh, directly tearing open her wounds.
But she had to admit, he was telling the truth.
And it was indeed Patrick who gave her a new home.
Before Juliette could think further, the violent sound of the car crash interrupted her thoughts.
Because of the traffic jam, that car was forced to slow down. If they needed to switch cars, now was the perfect time.
Juliette seized the last opportunity, drove the car alongside the other one, and rammed her car door into the car’s.
The other party seemed to be ready to jump out of the car. The door was unlocked, and after she rammed it twice, it burst
open.
The window was open, and the wind was roaring at extremely high speed.
Patrick shouted to the other side, “I’m trying to get in your car now!”
He didn’t expect the man to help him now. He said this to prevent being kicked off at a critical moment.
“Try to keep the door open. Don’t let it close, and aim the entrance at me!” Patrick shouted, his voice mostly dispersed by the wind.
