The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 42

Joanna was scared out of her wits. Her heart was thumping so hard that it almost leaped out of her

chest.

She thought. “If he hit the truck on the opposite just now at that speed, even with seat belts, we would’ve died! It doesn’t matter if I’m dead, but what about my three children?”

Hence, Joanna did not dare to shout at him again. Instead, she pleaded in horror, “Bruce, I beg you. Don’t do this…”

Vroom!

He started the car again. It then moved like an out–of–control beast, roaring while rushing into the traffic.

“Bruce, please stop! I’m begging you!”

It was as if Bruce had not heard anything. He kept speeding up.

The car repeatedly overtook cars on the road.

It was nerve–wracking every time he overtook another car.

Luckily, he was an adept driver.

Whenever it seemed like his car was about to clash with the others, they would end up brushing past each other.

“Ah! Ah!”

Joanna closed her eyes in fear several times. She would hold on tightly to the handle above the car door even with her seat belt buckled.

She exclaimed inwardly, “I mustn’t die! For my three children, I can never die!”

“Bruce, please. Don’t do this…” Joanna couldn’t help but beg while grabbing his arm.

Bruce was extremely incensed, but he didn’t know what he wanted to do as well.

He only knew that he felt the fury erupting within him, so he wanted to speed up to vent his anger.

“Bruce, you have to stop the car now! I’m begging you!”

Since Bruce had drunk some alcohol earlier, it was very dangerous for him to drive at that moment.

The car’s speed grew faster and faster, and it had already reached 87 mile

per hour.

Moreover, the car was on a mountain road, which would come to a hairpin turn in a short distance. Thus, he was putting them at risk by driving that way.

“Bruce, stop the car! What the hell is wrong with you? Ah! Ah…”

Joanna was scared out of her wits as she mused, “If this goes on, we’ll definitely get into a car accident! I want to jump out of the car! But at such a high speed, I’ll surely lose my life by jumping off the car!”

“Bruce, you have to stop!” Joanna tried to stop him from speeding up.

All of a sudden, a car appeared from the other side.

Bruce quickly swerved the steering wheel because his car was going too fast, but it was too late.

Under such urgent circumstances, Bruce turned the steering wheel in the opposite direction.

Crack!

Chapter 42 Crash!

The car smashed through the roadside barrier and plunged into the sea.

“Ah!” Joanna shouted in shock, closing her eyes tightly.

Bang!

Thump!

The car smashed into the sea hard.

The impact was so powerful that Joanna momentarily lost consciousness, and her mind went blank.

Bruce banged his head on the steering wheel.

Then, the airbags ejected and inflated.

Five minutes later, Joanna gradually woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she broke out in a cold sweat immediately.

Water had already entered the car and was halfway to filling it up. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Bruce had passed out.

“Bruce, Bruce, wake up! The water is getting into the car!”

Bruce didn’t react at all.

It was dark inside the car, and she could only scan the surroundings with the help of the faint street lamp on the bank.

Bruce had a cut on his forehead, and his face was covered with blood.

Joanna trembled in shock and frantically shook him. “Bruce, wake up…”

The water continued to rise.

Joanna began to panic and couldn’t be bothered about waking Bruce anymore.

She hurriedly pushed the car door, but unfortunately, there was water in the car, and the door wouldn’t open under the strong pressure.

“Where’s the car safety hammer?”

There would usually be a car safety hammer inside the car to facilitate smashing the windows in case it fell into the river.

However, she rummaged through the front compartment and couldn’t find the car safety hammer.

The water was already up to her chest.

Without hesitation, Joanna immediately took off her heels.

She aimed at the edge of the car window, which was the weakest part of it, and smashed it crazily.

Bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

After smashing it several times, the car window finally loosened.

Joanna smashed it a few times again, and the window finally broke.

She then climbed out the window.

By that time, the whole car was full of water.

Joanna waited for the car to balance and swam to the other side.

Luckily, the water pressure in the car had balanced out.

Joanna opened the car door to drag Bruce out.

However, he was strapped in.

As it was very dark under the water, Joanna fumbled for a long time but still failed to unbuckle the seat belt.

She couldn’t hold her breath anymore and needed to come to the surface of the water to breathe, but she did not dare to do so.

Because by the time she got to the surface, the car would probably have completely sunk to the bottom.

Bruce was still in the car, and he was unconscious.

If she didn’t save him, he would surely die.

In fact, at that moment, Joanna could give up on saving him and escape by herself.

Yet, Joanna held in her breath.

With her final breath, she finally unfastened the seat belt.

Joanna dragged Bruce out of the car.

Splash!

The duo finally got to the surface.

Joanna heavily panted as she tried to regulate her breathing.

Bruce, wake up…

Since Bruce was 6 feet and 2 inches tall, it would almost be impossible for Joanna to drag him to the shore.

However, she didn’t give up.

She put her hands around his armpits and struggled to swim toward the shore with all her strength.

As Bruce arrived at the surface, he slightly regained consciousness.

While he was half awake and half dazed, he vaguely felt as if he had returned to the incident ten years ago when he was drowning.

It was also the same as that moment, a thin and delicate figure dragging the behemoth him, struggling to swim to the shore.

The sealed memory seemed to have been unlocked.
