Her Marriage: The Night is Still Young-Chapter 61: Josephine, It’s Not What You Think
"Also, go get a few truckloads of sponges and line them on both sides of the deceleration zone immediately, to ensure the damage from a potential rollover is minimized."
"Yes, President Grant."
Julian Grant didn’t dare delay even for a second.
He grabbed a set of Lamborghini car keys and rushed out of the house at full speed.
"Vroom vroom vroom--"
The roaring sound of the Lamborghini’s engine filled the courtyard.
He didn’t even have time to change out of his pajamas, one of his slippers had fallen off but he didn’t have time to put it back on.
He jumped into the car, driving at top speed to find Josephine.
...
Meanwhile.
Nathaniel Gallagher left The Rose Garden, also driving home.
As he was about to get on the highway, he was stopped by a traffic officer.
"What’s going on? Why is the highway closed?"
Traffic Officer: "Sir, there’s currently a car with brake failure on the Ring City Highway. To prevent a major traffic accident, we need to control the traffic temporarily. Please wait patiently or choose an alternative route."
Nathaniel Gallagher heard this and found it unbelievable, "What kind of car?"
"It’s a white Cayenne."
Boom!
Nathaniel’s mind exploded, his whole body broke out in chills immediately.
"Is the license plate MA288?"
The traffic officer was stunned for a moment, "How do you know that?"
Nathaniel gasped, his heart nearly cracking open.
It was Josephine’s license plate.
"Beep beep beep..."
He shakily dialed Josephine’s number immediately.
"Hello, the number you have dialed is currently engaged, please try again later..."
"Josephine, Josephine..."
In a panic, he slammed the steering wheel hard.
Then, disregarding the officer’s orders, he floored the gas pedal, breaking through the highway barrier.
"Siri, call Andy!"
Andy picked up quickly and respectfully asked, "President Gallagher, what can I do for you?"
Nathaniel took a heavy breath, his tone extremely anxious, "Andy, locate Josephine’s current position immediately and send it to me."
"Right away."
"Her car’s brakes have failed, think of something immediately." Nathaniel’s mind was in a chaotic mess at this moment.
In an instant, he lost all ability to think clearly.
"..." Andy was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this.
"I’ll contact the car’s manager right away to inquire about the emergency brake methods."
"Okay."
"Send out the medical team at once, follow me to chase Josephine. Also, find out the direction her car is heading and pave a sand path at the fastest speed possible."
"Yes, President Gallagher."
Nathaniel’s heart raced, almost pressing the accelerator into the car floor.
"Josephine, nothing can happen to you, nothing can happen..."
...
"Whoosh whoosh--"
Josephine’s car sped increasingly faster, racing along the Ring City Highway.
Now, however, there were significantly fewer cars on the road.
Though she occasionally encountered a few vehicles, she managed to handle the situation.
Julian Grant continuously comforted her over the phone: "Josephine, don’t panic, just drive normally."
"Right now, the traffic control center is guiding your way, the road ahead of you is clear, and I’ve already had people rush to install speed bumps."
"..." Josephine steadied her nerves upon hearing this.
She gripped the steering wheel tightly, in a race against death!
She glanced at the speedometer, it had already soared to 140 miles per hour.
Even though the road ahead was unimpeded, without any obstacles,
She dared not relax her vigilance even a bit at such high speed.
Any misstep at this speed would result in total car destruction and death.
About fifteen minutes later.
"Vroom---"
Julian Grant, driving a Lamborghini supercar, sped towards and caught up with Josephine’s car.
Simultaneously, dozens of trucks carrying sand hurriedly drove towards the Azureport Expressway.
The medical team also dispatched a helicopter, tracking Josephine’s car all the way.
"Woo woo!"
Two police cars got on the highway, opening the way for Josephine.
The police took the matter seriously to avoid a major collision and to protect innocents!
Their response was swift and effective.
Twenty minutes later.
Josephine’s car reached the Azureport Expressway toll station.
The tollbooth staff had received notice and opened the passageway in advance.
A large number of traffic officers maintained order, stopping all vehicles and temporarily restricting traffic onto the highway.
"Whoosh!"
Josephine’s car sped through the toll station.
"Put put put..."
Josephine took a heavy breath, hearing the rumble of the helicopters.
She instinctively glanced outside, seeing two helicopters following her vehicle.
"Beep--beep beep--"
The sound of a car horn came from behind her.
"Josephine, I’m right behind you." Julian Grant had caught up with her car.
At this moment, he was right behind her.
Hearing the horn, Josephine looked in the rearview mirror and saw a Lamborghini following behind.
God knows how he got here so quickly?
At this moment.
Josephine couldn’t help but start crying again.
She never would have expected.
In this life and death moment, it would be Julian Grant who brought her hope for survival.
He was always such an unreliable playboy.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, she was able to remain calm under pressure.
"Josephine, don’t be afraid, I’m always right here with you." Julian Grant softly comforted her from the other end of the phone.
"Hold on for another half hour, the speed bumps will be ready soon."
Josephine Thompson was deeply moved, "Julian Grant..."
"Yes, what’s the matter?"
"..." Josephine choked up, unable to say a word.
"Haha, it’s alright, I usually drive at 300 mph in Veltland. As long as you don’t think about the brakes, you’ll be fine driving normally." Julian Grant’s tone was light, even teasing.
But in reality.
He was more nervous and fearful than Josephine Thompson.
His body was drenched in cold sweat, and his heart was in his throat.
After all, women aren’t as stable driving as men.
Moreover, women don’t have as strong mental resilience as men. In situations like this, it’s easy to panic, and once panicked, big problems ensue.
After calming Josephine Thompson.
Julian Grant immediately switched to a cold and stern tone, urgently asking his subordinate, "What stage is it at now?"
"President Grant, the speed bumps have started being laid, it will take approximately another 40 minutes."
"Forty minutes? You’re slower than pigs."
"I don’t care how you do it, but it must be ready in 20 minutes, faster, faster!"
The subordinate’s heart tightened, hesitantly replying, "Yes, yes, I got it, I’ll urge them again."
After shouting at his subordinate.
Julian Grant reopened the call with Josephine Thompson, his tone once again gentle and relaxed, "Josephine, drive toward Crowfell Mountain now."
"By the time you reach the Crowfell Mountain area, the speed bumps should be ready."
"Okay..."
Josephine took a look at the road sign.
Then, following Julian Grant’s instructions, she turned the car onto a secluded expressway.
This road was a newly built expressway, not yet open to traffic.
So, the road ahead was wide open. Not a single car was in sight, and there were no obstacles.
Ahead of her, two police cars were clearing the way, and Julian Grant was behind her.
Then came two ambulances and a helicopter following along.
She drove for about half an hour more.
She faintly saw a group of traffic police standing on either side of the road ahead.
At the same time, dozens of workers were busily spreading sand.
"Josephine, hold the steering wheel steady. As long as the car doesn’t flip, there shouldn’t be any major issues."
"Mm-hmm."
Josephine took a deep breath, gripping the steering wheel tightly, heading straight for the sandpile ahead.
"Boom--"
"Buzz-- buzz buzz--"
The tires plunged into the sandpile.
The massive momentum caused the car to keep moving forward.
Quickly following.
The tires began to skid, and the car spun rapidly in the sandpile.
"Ah--" Josephine was even more scared, holding onto the steering tightly.
Simultaneously.
Julian Grant’s heart was in his throat, "Josephine, Josephine!"
"Medical team ready at any time."
"Standing by."
The police officers were also panicked, "Everyone be careful, don’t get too close."
"Buzz buzz buzz--"
The car spun several times in the sandpile.
Josephine dared not let go of the steering wheel and finally managed to correct the direction.
"Buzz-- boom--"
The car moved forward for another ten seconds, with the tires sinking into the sandpile completely.
The car finally stalled.
"Bang--"
Josephine felt her taut nerves snap like broken strings on a violin. Suddenly, her surroundings fell into a dead silence and confusion, losing all sensation.
"Thump... thump thump..."
Her heartbeat was like a drum.
Sweat dripped down from her forehead, her mind went blank at that moment.
At that moment, she felt like she had narrowly escaped death, deeply experiencing what it meant to survive a catastrophe.
"Bang bang bang... bang bang bang..."
Julian Grant rushed to the car, pounding forcefully on the car door.
"Josephine, Josephine, open the door!"
"..." Josephine sat in the car, it took her a full two or three minutes to regain her fuzzy consciousness finally.
"Click!"
She opened the car door, her legs stiff and mechanical as she got out of the car.
Julian Grant breathed a sigh of relief, pulling her into a tight embrace, "Josephine."
The moment Josephine got out of the car.
She could no longer hold on, collapsing to the ground.
Julian Grant, overwhelmed with joy, knelt beside her, holding her tightly, "Josephine, it’s over, it’s over. Thank heaven you’re amazing."
"..." Josephine choked and couldn’t help bursting into tears.
Meanwhile.
Nathaniel Gallagher also hurriedly arrived at the scene.
He hurriedly got out of the car, his heart pounding as he rushed toward her, "Josephine."
"Don’t come close."
"She’s my wife." Nathaniel Gallagher pushed past the police, running forward regardless to check on her.
"Josephine, are you alright?"
Josephine looked at him with numb resentment, her voice choked and sorrowful, "... Nathaniel Gallagher, you really are heartless!"
"Unfortunately, you’re likely to be disappointed!"
Boom!
Nathaniel Gallagher’s mind went blank after hearing that, his eyes instantly red, "Josephine, it’s not what you think, it’s not what you think..."
"Bang!"
Julian Grant punched him hard in the nose.
Caught off guard, Nathaniel Gallagher stumbled back a few steps!
Julian Grant was furious, seething with anger, "Gallagher, I warn you, if you ever make a move against Josephine behind the scenes. I will do whatever it takes to uproot your Gallagher Family from Audenburg."
