The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2478

Seeing that Shannon was fine, my heart, which had been suspended in the air, finally eased back down.

The traffic police arrived after a while to disperse the onlookers. They put down a few roadblocks and came to Shannon to inquire about the incident.

“You are…”

“Collins.”

The traffic police heeded her response and took out a notebook. “Miss Collins, can you tell me what happened?”

Shannon leaned against me. She gritted her teeth as she began recalling. “I remember... starting my car and turning into Spring Road when I suddenly saw a car speeding up toward me from the right the moment I reached the center. I thought they were trying to pass, so I quickly moved out of the way. But they were so fast that I was pushed to the side.”

The traffic police nodded and confirmed with his companion nothing was missing while Shannon looked at her scratched-up car with a complicated gaze.

The sunken side of the car was enough for me to imagine just how horrifying that moment was.

If it was not for Shannon's quick reflexes, she would have…

I did not dare think about it anymore and looked at the traffic police. “We can provide a dash cam if needed.”

“Right!” Shannon's eyes lit up as she smacked a fist into the palm of her other hand. She almost lost her footing and tugged at her wound before letting out a breath of relief.

I glanced at her sullenly.

The traffic police went to collect evidence. Since we could not tamper with the scene, I helped Shannon take a seat by the side of the road. I brought a bottle of mineral water from a passerby and treated the bruise on her ankle.

“Ouch…”

Shannon called out exaggeratedly the moment the cool water hit her wound. “Ah, ow… Wanda, oh Wanda. Be gentle, would you? I’m not one who enjoys pain.”

She was probably fine seeing how she could still mess around.

“I’m thinking about what I’m going to say to Jordan when I send you back later.” I did not want her to live in worry, so I shook my head and deflected.

That person failed once. I did not know when they would strike again, so I might as well send Shannon back.

As for Shannon's car, we could just pay someone to drive it back.

Fortunately, Shannon did not notice that anything was off and was restrained by my efforts to conceal the situation from her. We got into my car after bidding the officers farewell.

I was not sure if the person had given up, but I managed to send Shannon home safely.

Shannon had been talking to Jordan over the phone when she was in my car. Jordan picked her up and hugged her the moment she stepped out of the car. Shannon patted his shoulder, a little embarrassed. She asked to be let down likely because I was around.

“Could you be a little more honest?” I stopped her, then turned to say to Jordan, “Protect her.”

I told him not to take care of her but to protect her. I knew Jordan understood what I meant. He nodded, and after that, I drove away.
