Chapter 138

The tremendous force caused Paisley's body to lift off the ground, crash heavily against the windshield, and then roll down.

She was hit so hard that her mind went blank, with a constant buzzing sound, and her consciousness began to fade. Only when Serena's heart-wrenching cry reached her did her dazed mind gradually return. "Mom! Mom! Don't die! I'm scared! Mom!"

"I'm not dead-" Paisley breathed heavily, weakly responding to Serena. She struggled to hold herself up, raising her head to look at Serena in the back seat.

Seeing that Serena was unharmed, Paisley finally breathed a sigh of relief. Enduring the pain in her body, she struggled to crawl to the back, unbuckled Serena's seatbelt, and carefully checked her from head to toe. "Are you okay? Tell me if you're hurting anywhere."

Serena's face was drenched in tears, clearly frightened. She shook her head. "It doesn't hurt. I'm fine." The post-traumatic fear overwhelmed Paisley, and she tightly hugged Serena to her chest. Despite her strength throughout the ordeal, she finally choked up. "It's okay, it's okay, Rena. Don't be scared. We're okay."

Knock-knock-someone was knocking on the car window. The car accident had drawn the attention of nearby onlookers, and some had already called the police for help.

"Hey! Are you okay? Do you need an ambulance?" The person knocking was a truck driver, who had also been startled by the incident. Although he wasn't fully at fault, being involved in a fatality was bad luck. Fortunately, the car had swerved at the last moment and crashed into a tree, or the consequences would have been dire.

The truck driver glanced at the driver's seat of the taxi and saw Jeremy slumped with his eyes rolled back, which scared him even more. "Hey! What's going on here? Is this guy alive or dead?"

Paisley slowly rolled down the window and spoke to the truck driver, "Please, call the police."

The truck driver nodded. "I've already called. They'll be here soon. Is he dead?"

Paisley glanced at Jeremy. "He's not dead, just unconscious."

The needle she had used wouldn't kill him in a short time. Before the police arrived, she needed to pull out the silver needle.
