After the Last Tear: Rising from the Ashes of a Broken Marriage By Cassila K

Chapter 108

BANG-

With the piercing sound of brakes, Aurelia was thrown into the air.

For those few seconds suspended above ground, her world became a blur of chaos.

As her body crashed onto the pavement, she thought she heard the sound of her own bones shattering.

Then, she lost consciousness completely.

She seemed to drift into a dream, returning to the time when she and Nolan were still in love.

She had just gotten her driver's license then, still unfamiliar with driving, and Nolan sat beside her, teaching her hands-on.

"Aurelia, don't be afraid. Drive boldly-I'm right here with you."

But the scene shifted abruptly. The person beside her suddenly vanished, replaced by the image of Nolan with bloodshot eyes, furiously stepping on the accelerator and driving straight toward her.

Aurelia jolted awake from the nightmare, her forehead drenched in sweat, her back soaked through.

Only then did she realize she was in a hospital. Her chest ached terribly, and it wasn't until a nurse came to give her an injection that she learned several of her ribs were broken.
