You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 83

Before the breakup, Irene did not feel anything unusual with Jordan accompanying her every day. But now, without Jordan's company, she found that her life had become so dreary. Everytime after dinner, she sat in the living room and checked her phone several times. Although she knew that there would be no phone calls or messages, she still looked forward to one. Thomas was playing games with Eden before he noticed Irene's actions. He sighed and said, "Irene, it's still early. Shall we take Eden somewhere nearby?"

"Sure!" Irene got up and went downstairs with Eden and Thomas.

The three of them took a stroll around the park. There was a night market not far from the residential area. It was always lively there in the evening.

Eden saw the crowd and pointed in the direction of the market with his chubby little finger. "Mommy, can we go over there?"

"Sure!" Irene nodded.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the market. It was packed, leaving them little to no room for movement. Some people were buying snacks, meanwhile some were setting up stalls.

Eden caught the sight of a stall owner selling cartoon helium balloons. "Mom, I want a Mickey Mouse balloon." His eyes were twinkling with excitement.

"I will buy it for you." Irene took his hand and walked over.

It cost Irene ten dollars. When Eden got the balloon, he was elated. He ambled among the crowd with a content smile.

Irene's heart slightly ached when she saw the broad smile on his face. The three of them continued on before Irene's phone rang. It was Kinsey. Irene handed Eden to Thomas as she went to answer the phone. Eden was jumping along the street with the helium balloon in his hand. In front of them was a candy stall. Looking at the colorful candies, Thomas said with a smile, "Do you want candies? I will buy some for you."

Thomas went to buy the candies for Eden, meanwhile Eden stood aside and watched. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across them. Before he could know it, the balloon in his hand was already blown away by the strong breeze. Eden ran after it immediately. After Thomas bought the candies, he turned around and saw Eden running through the road to chase after the balloon.

Countless cars were passing by on the road. Eden was just a young boy, and the drivers wouldn't probably see him. Shocked, Thomas yelled, "Eden, watch out!"

Irene was on the phone with Kinsey. When she heard Thomas's shout, she turned around. Seeing Eden running across the road, she was scared out of her wits. She ran after Eden instantly.

The honking sound of the cars was deafening as it pierced through the air. Irene's heart missed several steps before she and Thomas rushed forward regardless of the situation.

The cars kept honking at the sight of the two adults running across the road.

Irene's eyes were fixated on Eden. A car was driving fast in Eden's direction. She let out a heartrending scream and rushed toward Eden, screaming, "No!"

Suddenly, they heard a screeching sound. Feeling an acute pain on her body, Irene's vision went black before she fainted.

On the opposite side of the road, Edric stopped driving and rushed to Eden. When the car driver saw Edric, he subconsciously stepped on the brakes and turned the steering wheel hurriedly. The friction between the tyres and the road made a rather thunderous noise. Edric pulled Eden into his arms. The driver poked his head out of the window in shock. "What's wrong with you? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

When the driver saw the child in Edric's arms, he wiped his sweat. It was a close call!
