752 Chapter 751
"It's intentional!"
"It's intentional!"
The two said in unison, and Lewis looked at Keira.
Keira replied coolly, "The brake pads on the wheels were tampered with."
Lewis added, "It seems the culprit was worried the brakes wouldn't fail, so they also ssed with the brake system."
They both nodded in agreent. "This accident was definitely no accident."
Keira furrowed her brow. "But if this was deliberate, is soone trying to harm the Cobb family? Did the South family foresee this, or are they just manipulating their own prophecy?"
Lewis replied, "It's unclear at this point. The Cobb family will have to investigate this themselves."
Keira sighed. "Regardless, today confird sothing."
Lewis nodded. "Yes, the South family's prophecies hold so weight, whether by design or sothing supernatural. Whatever they say tends to happen."
Keira said, "I'm hungry."
"You also need to get that injury treated. Let's go."
As Keira and Lewis chatted, they got into the car Lewis had driven over, and he imdiately pulled away.
Following behind, Ellie was confused. "Wait..."
She and her brother hadn't even had a chance to thank them before they just left.
She turned to Ryan, who was also staring in the direction of the departing car, looking a bit dazed.
"Ryan, what should we do now?"
Ryan frowned. "Didn't you hear? Soone is targeting us! We need to investigate and get to the bottom of this!"
"Oh, right."
Ellie handed a cotton swab to Ryan.
"I don't need treatnt for this minor scrape."
"I didn't an that. I wanted you to help with mine."
"…"
The rescue team arrived soon after to tow the car away. Ryan and Ellie were taken to the hospital for checks and were cleared with just superficial injuries.
That evening, they returned ho, where Gavin and Selena were anxiously waiting for them. Upon seeing Gavin, Ryan hesitated to speak.
But Gavin said, "Ryan, I understand your point. Ms. Olsen saved you, so we shouldn't hold onto our grievances. Let's proceed with the collaboration!"
Ryan paused at his words and glanced at Selena, whose face was dark as if she wanted to say sothing but hesitated, her expression awkward.
Ryan lowered his gaze. "Ms. Olsen didn't save for this collaboration."
If that were the case, she would have made her intentions clear right after saving them.
If that were the case, she would have made her intentions clear right after saving them.
But they had left without saying a word…
That clearly indicated that Keira wasn't the type to hold a grudge or seek payback for favors.
However, just because she didn't ask for anything in return didn't an he could ignore the debt of two lives.
With that thought, Ryan spoke up. "Let's table this discussion for now. We need to investigate exactly what caused that accident!"
Ellie imdiately agreed. "Yes, I want to know who's targeting us!"
Keira and Lewis had already returned to the Horton household.
Erin was munching on beef jerky while watching Lewis bandage Keira's injury, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "What's with the heroics?"
Keira stayed silent.
Erin leaned in closer. "I know you were looking into that accident, but I can tell you, the South family's prophecies are real; they've never failed. Today proved it. You need to believe in the supernatural!"
"I don't believe it."
Keira replied, "Everything can be orchestrated. The South family has accurately predicted over a hundred events over the years; they can engineer those outcos. That doesn't prove their prophetic abilities are genuine."
Erin tossed aside her snack and picked up another. "Well, just wait and see. There's still plenty of ti before the South family opens the door for us to return ho!"
Keira didn't respond.
But Lewis interjected, "Don't put yourself in danger again."
"I know. I didn't take any risks; I knew everything would be fine."
Keira had lost count of how many tis she had reassured Lewis on this drive.
Lewis still insisted, "You can't do that next ti either. Promise ."
"Fine, fine, fine."
Keira dismissed him with an eye roll, feeling for a mont that Lewis sounded like a nagging parent.
Perhaps sensing her impatience, Lewis suddenly grasped both her hands and picked her up, carrying her upstairs.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Keira protested.
"You didn't take care of yourself today, so now you're getting punished."
"What kind of punishnt?"
"No going to bed tonight."
"That's punishnt?"
"Yep, we're sleeping on the couch together."
Keira didn't realize what kind of "sleeping" he was talking about…
The next morning, she woke up sore and stiff. She tried to move but found Lewis once again holding her down until she promised she wouldn't take risks again. Only then did he finally let her go.
Just as she was waking up, her phone buzzed with a ssage from an unknown number. "Ms. Olsen, this is Ryan. When you have ti, could you return my call?"
Keira hesitated before picking up her phone and calling Ryan back.
The call was quickly answered, and Ryan's familiar, warm, but distant voice ca through. "Ms. Olsen, we've found the cause of the accident."
