Chapter 84 Near Accident

Nathaniel furrowed his brows as he reached out to hug Christina’s waist tightly.

As they fell, he made sure to land on his back, shielding Christina in his arms.

Christina was still reeling in shock when she heard the screeching sound of the brakes in her ears.

The driver belatedly realized a woman had darted onto the street when he saw a man suddenly appear in front of his vehicle. He quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid hitting them.

“Are you nuts? If you want to fool around, do it back home!” the driver hollered angrily before driving away in a huff.

It felt like time had come to a standstill. Both Nathaniel and Christina stared at each other silently, frozen in their tracks. They could hear each other’s heartbeats distinctly.

Both of them were breathing heavily.

Right then, the lights turned green. People from both sides of the street started crossing the street using the zebra crossing.

Nathaniel extended a hand to help Christina up, and the bustling crowd around them faded into nothingness as they locked eyes with each other.

It took Christina a few seconds to regain her composure. If Nathaniel hadn’t rushed out to save her, the consequences would’ve been dire!

I remember someone pushed me from behind.

Upon recalling that fact, she whirled around to find the culprit, but the culprit was nowhere to be seen.

Was it an accident or a deliberate act?

Nathaniel put his arms around her shoulders in a protective manner and asked in concern, “Did you get hurt?”

Christina shook her head in response. Nathaniel had shielded her with his body, so she escaped unscathed from the near accident.

Nathaniel surveyed the area but didn’t see anyone suspicious. He felt his heart tightening as his grew dark.

“Let’s talk back at the hotel.”

They soon arrived at the hotel. Despite not telling Nathaniel her room number, Christina was surprised when he led her back to her room.
