Chapter236

With a loud crash, the car slammed into a roadside tree, airbags bursting open.

Maureen nearly got knocked out, her phone tumbling under the seat. Luckily, the slow speed spared her injuries.

The car wouldn’t start now. Maureen turned on the hazard lights.

She couldn’t reach her phone no matter how she tried. With no choice, she decided to get out and look for help.

Meanwhile, after hearing the commotion through the phone, Geoffrey called Maureen’s name again but got only silence.

The blizzard meant no cars were out tonight.

Maureen waited forever but saw no passing vehicles, shivering violently in the cold.

Since returning to Small Town without any threats around, she’d told Justin not to constantly watch over her.

Maureen had no choice but to trudge home alone, planning to call a tow truck after the snow stopped tomorrow morning.

Each step felt heavy, her entire body numb with cold.

No houses lined this stretch of road; she remembered having at least two or three kilometers left.

Forcing herself forward, the biting cold worsened her ear condition until even the wind’s howl grew faint.

She knew her hearing loss had progressed.

After ten minutes, a white expanse blurred her vision. Dizzy and disoriented, she collapsed into the snow.

Conscious but dazed, she instinctively covered her belly. Struggling up, her legs refused to

move.
