Reese glanced out of the car window, and her expression changed instantly.

While she was conversing with Lukas earlier, she hadn't realized that the car was veering off course. Now, she had no idea where they were in this desolate and uninhabited place.

All of this occurred in a split second.

Despite Lukas's command, not only did the car not come to a halt, but it actually accelerated further.

Lukas's face instantly turned incredibly dark. When he had left the hospital, he had only noticed his car; he hadn't paid any attention to the driver.

Assuming it was a driver arranged by his people, he didn't think twice, completely unaware that the driver had been changed.

This was the first time he had made such a rookie mistake.

He quickly stood up, intending to subdue the man in the driver's seat.

However, the man suddenly accelerated the car and crashed it brutally into a roadside pillar.

The violent jolt of the car made Lukas release his grip on the man's arm, turning around abruptly to shield Reese with his own body.

In the critical moment, his mind went blank, and his instinctive response was to protect the woman beside him.

Reese keenly felt the incredible strength with which Lukas held her. In that instant, her heart loosened slightly, a hard-to-describe feeling spreading from deep within her heart.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the man who had been driving forcefully opened the car door and leaped out.

Lukas released Reese, preparing to exit the car and chase the man. However, his hand froze just as it touched the door handle.

The light from several flashlights flickered in the dim surroundings, revealing the scene outside.

He saw clearly that they were surrounded by a group of men brandishing steel pipes outside the car.
