Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 444: In Danger, You Go First

Nancy Allen’s restless emotions were interrupted by the conversation between the two.

She smiled at Julius Shaw, "Why are you teasing the kid?"

Julius Shaw obediently shut his mouth.

Hamilton felt like crying even more.

Is he just a kid? He just didn’t grow well, right!

Five years ago, he was as tall in his teens as he is now in his early twenties.

In the gloomy gaze of Hamilton, Nancy smiled and said, "Your car is nice, let me borrow it for a spin, I’ll return it afterward."

Nancy joyfully drove Hamilton’s car for a ride with Julius Shaw.

With no car and no company, Hamilton couldn’t help but shout, "Could you behave like humans!!!"

Upon hearing Hamilton’s wailing, Nancy laughed with her eyes curved in delight.

As long as Nancy was smiling, Julius Shaw was satisfied.

Nancy drove the car out of the racetrack, speeding along, and after half an hour, they reached Riverside Road along Riverwood City.

Supposedly taking Julius Shaw for a ride, but Nancy’s health was poor, she dared not open the sunroof nor the windows, fearing the wind might cause a headache.

As the car continued to drive, Nancy suddenly asked in confusion, "This road is usually quite lively, why is there no one and no cars today?"

Julius Shaw’s attention was always on Nancy, not noticing if there were people along the road. When he heard Nancy say this, he turned to look ahead.

This road usually doesn’t have many cars, but there are usually a lot of pedestrians on both sides. However, today, not a single person was in sight.

Julius Shaw’s gaze changed slightly, speaking seriously, "Nancy, stop."

Nancy’s car speed was not slow, and upon hearing Julius Shaw’s shout to stop, she immediately stepped on the brakes.

However, it was too late. When the car came to a stop, the entire car body shook and without any warning began to sink.

Julius Shaw only managed to lunge towards Nancy at the first moment. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The sand and gravel fell, plunging them into darkness.

After a long time, everything quieted down.

In the darkness, Julius Shaw nervously said, "Nancy, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Nancy shook her head, then remembered it was so dark that shaking her head wouldn’t be visible, so she said, "I’m fine, are you okay? What exactly is going on?"

The vehicle was slanted, with Nancy at the top and Julius Shaw at the bottom. Because at the last moment, Julius Shaw unbuckled his seat belt and lunged towards Nancy, when the car tilted towards his direction, he protected the person in his embrace.

The seat belt choked Nancy a bit painfully, since there was no violent collision, the airbags did not deploy.

Julius Shaw unbuckled Nancy’s seat belt, held onto Nancy, and said softly, "The road must have collapsed, this road should have been barricaded or marked as off-limits."

Nancy tried to prop herself up, worried about whether Julius Shaw was hurt while she pressed down on him. She slightly lifted herself and said, "I didn’t see any barricade signs when entering this road."

But Nancy’s movement caused the vehicle to sway again.

Julius Shaw reached out to hold Nancy, speaking softly, "Don’t move. Let me call the fire rescue first."

Julius Shaw groped for his phone and quickly dialed the fire rescue number.

Following that, the two were left in silence.

Both had their own thoughts.

Nancy’s thoughts were centered on how, in her last moments, she dragged Julius Shaw into danger. Had she not been restless wanting to race and go for a spin, they wouldn’t have ended up in trouble.

Julius Shaw was contemplating how he had hurt others and himself in his life, but this time, he was determined to protect Nancy.

Minutes later, Julius Shaw’s eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.

The cracks in the collapsed ground allowed a sliver of light, enabling him to barely see their current predicament.

The car was wedged in the ground crevice, the doors completely blocked by rubble, but the biggest concern was the bottom. The darkness was overwhelming; the collapse was deeper than he imagined. Their car was slowly sliding downwards, if they fell further, rescuers wouldn’t be able to save them.

Nancy’s eyesight wasn’t great due to stress-induced blindness several times. Though she adjusted to the darkness, she couldn’t see anything and instinctively asked, "How are we doing, what do we do?"

Nancy, as a person, dislikes relying on others. No matter what happens, she always quietly finds a way to handle it herself.

Only in front of Godfery Shaw does she show some level of dependence, and now facing Julius Shaw, she unexpectedly asked this instinctively.

Julius Shaw reassured her by touching the top of Nancy’s head, "Don’t be afraid, we didn’t fall deep, once we get out, we can climb back up."

Upon hearing Julius Shaw, Nancy felt a bit more at ease.

In the complete darkness, Nancy’s hand instinctively gripped Julius Shaw’s shirt at his chest.

Julius Shaw tried to open the car door; his back was against the door and he exerted force to push it open. However, the door was completely blocked by gravel and couldn’t budge, he then tried if the sunroof could open but found it wasn’t working.

Julius Shaw steadied his breath, saying, "Nancy, this section of the road should be closed, no one will pass by temporarily, it might take a while for the rescue team to arrive. We can’t just wait for them to save us, hold on for a while and don’t move around, I’ll break the sunroof to find a way out."

Nancy obediently nodded in agreement, "Okay."

The car’s position was special, pushing from Julius Shaw’s direction was not a big problem, but disturbing Nancy’s side might cause it to fall deeper, making it difficult for Julius Shaw to first move Nancy away.

Julius Shaw drew his coat around Nancy, covering her head completely, before slowly propping himself up and using the car safety hammer he found to strike at the sunroof glass’s four corners.

With Julius Shaw’s effort, the sunroof glass cracked like a spider web, and finally, he struck the middle hard, shattering the glass with a crash over both of them.

But with this impact, the vehicle slid down further, Julius Shaw tightly protected Nancy.

Once the car stopped, Nancy quietly asked, "Julius Shaw, we slid down again."

Julius Shaw explained, "It’s okay, it just went down a little. It’s still not deep; we can still climb up."

Julius Shaw’s hands and face were cut by the glass, but Nancy was securely covered by his clothes. Julius Shaw shook off the glass from himself and gently brushed off the glass; Nancy was left unhurt by the previous glass shattering.

Julius Shaw seriously told Nancy, "Now I’ll lift you slowly, you climb out of the sunroof, we haven’t fallen too deep, I can lift you up to reach the outside."

Nancy didn’t refuse, she merely asked, "Once I’m out, what about you?"

Julius Shaw’s voice was gentle, "You go first, once you’re safe, it’s easier for me to move. The sunroof is already broken; it won’t stop me."

"Okay."

Nancy didn’t stage a tragic drama about who should go first or staying together to face death.

Because she knows that only by being safe, Julius Shaw can then be safe.

Cautiously, Julius Shaw lifted Nancy slowly through the sunroof, the process was slow, the car wobbled several times halfway through.

Nancy was petite and light in weight, so Julius Shaw didn’t struggle lifting her, only needing to maintain the car’s stability to prevent it from falling deeper.

Nancy was lifted higher and higher, faced with fragile mud and stones blocking her view, she reached out to push hard.

The originally shaky mud and stones loosened and fell, and as the stone blocks dropped, their car slid down another step, yet more light shone in.

Nancy turned back to look at Julius Shaw, finally seeing their situation clearly. The car wedged on the rocks teetered on the brink, with uncertain depths below.

Nancy drew a sharp breath.
