Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 454

Before the guard could finish his sentence, a delivery truck hurtled our way out of nowhere.

"Bang!" That was the sound.

Instinctively, Colin wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his embrace, shielding me from the impact.

But Damian... Damian wasn't so lucky. The truck sent him flying.

"Run... get out..." Damian's voice was raspy, barely there, as if he'd mustered all his strength for those words.

Get out.

He wasn't talking about escaping the immediate danger, but rather, like Truman from "The Truman Show," breaking free from a world under constant surveillance.

"Dr. Damian!" The hospital's security rushed over, surrounding Damian, and dialed 911 for an ambulance.

I stood frozen, my fingers numb.
