Realizing they could not prank Orion, everyone decided to return to playing the game as usual.

After dinner, Orion started fussing about wanting to go home, and Nina couldn't say no. She asked the director for leave.

At first, the director wasn't happy about it since there were plans for early morning filming the next day. But Nina was firm, and eventually, he agreed, on the condition that she return promptly in the morning.

After a heavy rain, the rural road was muddy. However, Nina, being an experienced driver, handled it with ease. The bumpy ride eventually brought them to the main road. Nina sent a message to Nash, suggesting they meet at the downtown shopping district. There weren't many cars on the road, and Nina drove steadily. Suddenly, from the opposite lane, a large truck veered toward them, smashing through the median barrier. The truck swerved and headed straight for their car. "Mom! Watch out!" Orion shouted.

Nina had already reacted instinctively. She floored the gas pedal and swerved to the left lane, trying to avoid the oncoming truck.

However, the truck driver also adjusted course, as if deliberately aiming for them. Cursing under her breath, Nina decided to take a risky move and broke through the guardrail. She was betting on whether the truck would follow. If it did, then this wasn't an accident. The slope they were heading down wasn't too steep. Nina gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Orion, hold on tight! Grab the seat!"

"Got it, Mom," Orion replied, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, staying calm.

The car bounced over several rocks, bumping its way down the slope until a large tree finally brought them to a stop. Without wasting a second, Nina quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and climbed into the back to unfasten Orion's seatbelt. She then opened the door. "Orion, get out first. Be careful. As soon as you're out, run straight ahead."
