Amelia Bright drove onto the highway with soft music playing in the car and the scenery outside the windows flying backwards.
She hummed the tune, her fingers beating the rhythm on the steering wheel.
Driving until noon, stopping for lunch at a service area, she received a call from Farren Austin.
“You’re gone already?”
“I’ve been driving for half a day,” Amelia Bright replied as she ate, “I’m in the Jialing service area, and I don’t think I’ll be there until tomorrow morning.
“What necklace?”
“The one with a bullet on it,” Amelia Bright’s hand subconsciously gestured in the air, “with two letters engraved on it, it’s yours, right?”
The other end of the phone suddenly no sound, half a long time, “Where is the necklace?”
“I have it here.”
“You took it with you?”
“Yes, my aunt took it out when she was packing, I was afraid I’d lose it so I took it with me, I’ll give it to you when I get back.”
“Who told you to make your own decision.”
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly took on a bit of anger.
“Now send the stuff back immediately.”
Amelia Bright froze for a moment, “What are you talking about? It’s just a necklace, isn’t it? I promise I won’t lose it for you, I’ll just return it to you when I get back, I’m already in Jialing and you want me to drive back?”
“Did you not understand what I said? This thing is important to me, send it back.”
Farren Austin’s voice was ice-cold, completely different from his previous cool and lonely voice, and you could even hear the heavy dissatisfaction and eagerness in his voice.
Thinking of the two letters on the necklace, Amelia Bright was furious, “Why? I’m already out of the house, it’s so important that you don’t put it away yourself, I’m not available now.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone without ceremony.
The two favorite dishes that were ordered in front of her, all of a sudden lost any appetite, she felt the string of chains from her bag and threw them directly into the trash, turned around and left.
What a person! She kindly put it away for him and he got angry!
What’s so important, it’s just an engraved bullet case?
After walking out of the restaurant in the service area, she stomped her feet under the hot sun as if she was taking it out on the ground, but after a long time, she turned back and searched for the trash can under the surprised eyes of passers-by.
After she found the bullet casing, she looked at the two letters on it, which were almost flattened, and felt an inexplicable sorrow in her heart.
Farren Austin usually looks sullen and silent, like an iceberg that never melts, but he can still do things like engraving people’s names on bullet casings.
She did not even become a child, but he is the energy, two days ago also said to become a real couple, what does this mean? What does that mean? A real couple means that they have someone else in mind, but they sleep with her, right? Bastard!
When she got into the car, she casually hung the bullet shell pendant on the rearview mirror, slowly swaying as the car sped down the highway.
Farren Austin called twice, but she ignored them both.
Who doesn’t have a temper?
The car left the Jialing service area after driving all afternoon, the sky is getting dark when out of the service area, the surrounding scenery gradually desolate.
Because of the former almost every year to follow their parents to come once, so the mountain roads here she is not unfamiliar with the mountain roads, eighteen curves, careful driving is, so she now and then on a foot brake.
But as she stepped on the brakes more and more frequently, she gradually felt that something was wrong, and the brakes seemed more difficult to control than once.
When she crossed a sharp turn, she even slammed the brakes to the bottom, and the car threw its tail, flinging itself over the edge of the cliff with a sharp braking sound, almost hanging on for dear life.
The danger alert in the car suddenly began to flash wildly, the brakes had completely failed.
A big stone instantly blocked Amelia Bright’s chest, is it a bad day to go out?
After barely settling down, she put the car to the slowest speed, carefully control the steering wheel, and was about to call the police when a sharp bell rang, she panicked and directly pressed the answer button.
Farren Austin’s voice rang out in the car’s voice.
“Where are you?”
Amelia Bright drew a cold breath and slid around a corner, her teeth still chattering, “Cold Mountain Drive.”
“Where’s the stuff? Are you still carrying it?”
Farren Austin is still concerned about a broken pendant, Amelia Bright cursed, but cried out when she opened her mouth, and cursed.
“Farren Austin, you son of a bitch, I’m dying because my brakes failed and you still have time to ask me about your stuff, if I fall off a cliff today, for the sake of that broken pendant, you will surely come to collect my body, right?”
“Brake failure?”
Probably because the wheels over the rocks, the whole car suddenly tilted violently, violent shaking accompanied by Amelia Bright’s scream echoed in the car, the signal was also cut off at once.
“Hello? Hello …”
“Grip the grass!” Amelia Bright almost cried out, while holding the steering wheel desperately trying to control the direction while cursing at the wobbly broken pendant.
I’m afraid I’m going to die here today with this unlucky pendant.
Amelia Bright’s arms gradually lost strength, completely mechanical in the direction, looking at the distance is still out of reach of another mountain, almost collapsed.
I don’t know when the signal suddenly came back on and Farren Austin’s voice resounded from the car.
“Amelia Bright, can you hear me? Can you hear me?”
She froze and said sharply, “I can hear you.”
“You stay awake and keep driving.”
“What’s the point of me continuing to drive? The gas tank is full, and I filled it up to get off the highway!”
“I’m behind you now, only five kilometers away.”
“What?”
Amelia Bright subconsciously looked in the rearview mirror, knowing full well that five kilometers is impossible to see even in a straight line, let alone a mountain road, but she still took a look.
“You lied to me, didn’t you?”
“No lie, I’ll be here at noon, you focus, keep driving, wait until you get to a gentle place and I’ll tell you the way to park.”
Amelia Bright gritted her teeth and held back the tears that almost came to her eyes, “Don’t you lie to me, you lie to me you’re a son of a bitch.”
“I’m a son of a bitch for lying to you.”
The pendant on the rearview mirror kept swinging with the swaying of the body, brushing past Amelia Bright’s ears several times to keep her awake and fully focused on the steering wheel every time she crossed a curve.
Farren Austin’s voice would come from inside the car at intervals, the signal intermittent, sometimes not being able to hear what he was saying, but knowing that he was always following behind, it was somehow reassuring.
“I see you already, you continue to drive forward, hold on for another ten minutes there will be a long uphill, I will pass by you in advance, reduce the speed, after seeing my car, you directly hit it, do you understand.”
“What are you talking about?” Amelia Bright froze.
“Don’t be afraid.”
