Chapter 456 He Gave Her Hope
“At the intersection ahead, get off.” Next second! He made a sudden brake and turned. The car stopped.
He unfastened his seat belt, opened the car door, and sent Zayla into another car parked in the alley! She had a fever, and she was feeling. Her feet were weak. She didn’t know how she got into the driver’s seat of this car.
Simon stood outside the car, drenched in the pouring rain, and smiled lightly at her… “The way to Southbard… You have to go by yourself.” After saying that, he stuffed a voice recorder into her hand.
Then, he quickly buckled her seat belt and closed the car door! He got back in the exposed car without hesitation.
At this moment, Zayla understood what was going on. He wanted to drive that exposed car to attract Brendis’ people and let her drive this safe car to leave Grasburg Town smoothly.
By doing this, he left all the danger to himself.
Zayla lowered the car window and turned around to look… Through the pouring rain, she saw the lights of the rear of that car… That bear of light was the hope he gave that she would reach Southbard safely. It
was also the condensation of his thousands of apologies, which was the only and last thing he left for her. He left hope to her and death to himself… “Simon!” Zayla’s voice trembled, and the moment
tears welled up in her eyes, they dripped down on her palm and also on the voice recorder. She noticed the voice recorder in her palm, which had turned from cold to hot. She pressed the button, and his voice sounded.
“Zayla, under the passenger seat, there is a phone, a sím card, and a map. Emergency medicines are in the glove compartment in front of the car seat, and there is enough water and food in the trunk.
“As long as you leave Grasburg Town and enter the border of Southbard, you will be safe.
“But this section of the road, you have to go on your own. Be careful when you drive alone.
“Remember when you asked me the reason in the hospital? Because I love you, but also because I was wrong. “Countless sleepless nights made me toss and turn and think a lot.
“Between us, my original intention was not pure from the beginning, and you were just a tool to me. “And in our marriage, you have been in love with me truly, from the beginning to the end.
“It doesn’t matter if you say I’m cold by nature or a heartless scumbag, but the matter has already come to this point, and I have to blame myself.
“But since I was so messed up, I must do something for you. So, I went to Brevan to find Brendis. Now, I failed to take you to Southbard safely. I reneged on my promise.
“However, I still want to ask one question last time. Zayla, can you give me some trust? Just a little…” The recording ended here. Zayla’s eyelashes trembled, and tears burst out, falling uncontrollably…
Whether he would be alive or dead tonight was unknown, but he still wanted to ask her for a little trust. Was her trust in him really more important than his own life?
Zayla held the steering wheel tightly. In the silent car, there was only the sound of raindrops hitting the window. Choking with sobs, she replied to the cold air, “Yes, I can give you a little trust. Yes.”
But even if she said countless yes, he couldn’t hear her anymore… The noise coming from the direction of the main road made her bite her lower lip tightly.
She knew that Brendis’ people were madly chasing Simon. She also knew that she had to stay rational and take advantage of the chaos to leave!
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and swallowed two antipyretics without water, which made her throat sore. She stayed awake, gripped the steering wheel tightly, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed into the rain… All the people that Brendis sent to Grasburg Town went to chase Simon.
Along the way, Zayla was unimpeded! She successfully left Grasburg Town and entered the border of Southbard. But at this moment, she was still a few hours away from the center of Southbard.
Zayla stretched out her hand to touch her forehead. The antipyretic medicine took effect, and her fever subsided, but there were also side effects of the medicine, which made her keep feeling drowsy. Now she had to stay absolutely awake.
With all her strength, she clenched her palms into fists, and her nails were embedded in her palms. The wounds were painful, keeping her awake.
While studying the map, she took out the phone under the passenger seat, inserted the sim card, and immediately called Bonnie. When the phone was connected, Bonnie cried with joy after hearing her voice.
“Zayla, it’s really great that you’re safe. I’m so happy…” Bonnie spoke incoherently and called Stephen immediately.
Stephen had been waiting for the news from Zayla and finally learned that she was safe. Although his words were a little choked up, he tried his best to keep calm. “Zayla, how did you get out?” Stephen asked.
Zayla pursed her lower lip and told the truth, “It’s Simon.” Stephen, on the other end of the phone, was obviously taken aback. “So you’re with him now?” “For me to go to Southbard safely, he led away Brendis’ people alone, and now I don’t know if he is dead or alive.”
As she said that, Zayla’s eyes were a little red, and she looked at the voice recorder in the passenger seat with mixed emotions in her heart. Stephen was silent for a few seconds. Realizing that Simon’s life was unknown, Stephen decided to tell the truth,
