Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1033 - 1034: Car Accident (Part 3)

His eyes were fixated unwaveringly on the road ahead, and his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Beads of sweat, as large as soybeans, rolled down his forehead, one after another.

It showed just how nervous he was.

Ji Anning was shocked by panic, thought of something, and said to him, "Then ease off the gas pedal."

She hurriedly looked towards Luo Shuai’s feet.

"I’m not pressing the gas pedal at all now." Luo Shuai moved his feet slightly, his voice barely audible.

God!

Ji Anning felt like her mind exploded with a ’buzz’ all at once.

The brakes, hand brake, and gas pedal all failed on this winding mountain path...

Ji Anning’s face turned pale, and she blankly turned her head to look at the mountain beside them.

At this speed, if they switch directly to park, the car is sure to overturn.

What should they do now?

This question, she didn’t dare to voice. Luo Shuai must be just as nervous and scared sitting in that position.

Ji Anning swallowed hard, looked ahead at the road, at least an hour more of mountainous road, she felt like death was beckoning her from ahead.

No time to think about why the brakes and gas pedal failed simultaneously.

Her hands gripped the front passenger seat’s backrest tightly; her nails dug into the leather, nearly breaking.

Sweat dripped down like rain.

At a sharp turn, Luo Shuai struggled to stay calm and made it through the curve; they felt like they just walked through the gates of hell.

Ji Anning felt her heart pounding at her throat, almost ready to leap out.

She glanced at the sleeping little one beside her.

Unable to control her emotions for a moment, she started crying, silently biting her lip, and turned to look out the window.

After a while, Luo Shuai’s voice suddenly sounded, "The only way now is to scrape against the mountainside to try to slow down."

He quickly turned to glance at Ji Anning, "Are you... okay with it?"

Upon hearing his words, Ji Anning hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "That’s the only option."

Despite the current speed, scraping is extremely dangerous, but better than waiting for death. There are still several sharp turns ahead, and if an oncoming car appears, they could collide and be thrown off.

With Ji Anning’s agreement and support, Luo Shuai seemed more confident and called to Ji Anning, "Hold onto Fenfen."

"Okay."

Ji Anning nodded, glanced at Fenfen, and looked at her serene little face. She covered her mouth, forcing back a stream of tears.

Then she reached out, picked up the little girl, held her tightly with one arm, and grabbed the safety handle with the other.

"Mommy."

Suddenly picked up, the movement too abrupt, Fenfen woke up, looking at Ji Anning drowsily, her soft voice making Ji Anning’s heart ache.

Not daring to look at her little face, Ji Anning nodded with her chin raised, "Yes, Fenfen, keep your eyes closed and go back to sleep. Mommy’s holding you."

Speaking, she hugged the little girl tighter.

"Miss Anning, hold onto Fenfen."

Luo Shuai’s tense voice reminded Ji Anning again, then slowly moved the car closer to the mountainside, scraping through dense branches, making a rustling sound.

That sound was heart-wrenching.

Ji Anning’s eyes widened, her pale face devoid of any color, her hair and clothes already soaked with sweat in a short time.

The car scraped against the mountainside, the force and inertia far exceeded Ji Anning’s expectations. With each hit, the car body bounced outward.

"Mommy, mommy."

Fenfen was frightened, hugging Ji Anning’s arm, and started to cry wimperingly.
