Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1312

Chapter 1312: It was just a dream

"Help..."

Pain crawled through Nina's body, every breath stabbing her lungs. Blood painted her skin as her head throbbed violently.

"Help..." Another weak plea escaped her bleeding lips as she struggled to stay conscious.

She looked around. The car was upside down. Shards of shattered glass lay scattered around her-some embedded in her skin.

It hurt.

Pain unlike anything she had ever known.

"Help..." she whispered, her gaze shifting to the car window. But no one came.

Summoning every ounce of strength, she began to crawl.

She was weak, in agony. But she had to get out. The sharp scent of leaking gas filled the air, mingling with blood and smoke. As she dragged herself forward, shards of glass bit into her flesh-but she barely felt it.

Every movement was excruciating.

"Help." Another plea left her lips as she reached the broken window, pulling herself toward it. Yet, even as she escaped the wreckage, relief never came.

Her strength bled from her body like water through a broken bucket.

By the time she had managed to crawl halfway out, her body was growing numb. Her fingertips felt cold. The metallic taste of blood coated her tongue-whether from blood loss or the cuts in her mouth, she wasn't sure.

Then, she saw them.

A pair of shoes in front of her.

But instead of feeling saved, a strange dread settled in her chest.

With what little energy she had left, she reached for the person's ankle. Her grip was weak, but she clung with all the strength she had left. Slowly, she lifted her gaze.

Her heart stopped.

The person staring down at her with cold, emotionless eyes was someone she knew well.

Finn.

She tried to say his name, but no sound came out.

She could only stare, seeing her own reflection in his eyes. Those eyes-once filled with warmth and affection-were now devoid of feeling. There was no urgency, no concern. Just... indifference.

"Help," she whispered again.

Finn crouched in front of her. His expression remained the same. The air around him carried nothing but icy detachment.
