Eloise took notice, paying attention to the expression on Madeline’s face; virtual-novel.net eyebrows on virtual-novel.net delicate, graceful face were tightly furrowed.
Eloise felt virtual-novel.net heart tightened for some reason. “Eveline…”
She looked at Madeline and quietly muttered this name. When Madeline saw that Eloise had finally stopped, virtual-novel.net was overjoyed.
“Mom, stop running. I can’t chase you any further.” Madeline, enduring the pain in virtual-novel.net twisted ankle, smiled warmly at Eloise.
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net supported herself with virtual-novel.net arm, trying to stand up.
Jeremy hurriedly ran over from one side, just in time to see Madeline sitting in the middle of the road, trying to get up.
“Linnie.”
Without thinking, virtual-novel.net ran toward Madeline’s position. Coincidentally, at this moment, a huge truck was speeding out from a junction and heading toward them.
The truck driver, not expecting anyone to be sitting in the middle of the road, was driving at a high speed. When virtual-novel.net saw the stationary Madeline, the driver honked furiously.
Madeline was doing virtual-novel.net best to stand when virtual-novel.net heard the truck’s honks. She only then noticed that a huge truck was speeding toward virtual-novel.net from virtual-novel.net side.
If virtual-novel.net did not stand and get out of the way, it would run into virtual-novel.net in mere seconds.
In this moment of life or death, Madeline saw Eloise running toward her, and at the same time, an anxious scream followed. “Eveline…”
Although Eloise would also normally call virtual-novel.net Eveline, this time, Madeline felt that something was different. She was distracted, then virtual-novel.net finally remembered virtual-novel.net current situation.
“Mom, don’t come over!”
Madeline yelled at Eloise.
However, Eloise seemed to turn a deaf ear and ran even faster toward Madeline.
Madeline looked at the truck that was about to run into her. She used all virtual-novel.net might, enduring the pain, using virtual-novel.net arm to support herself into standing.
At this moment, virtual-novel.net felt a familiar warmth behind virtual-novel.net and, at the same time, a pair of strong arms holding her.
Madeline turned virtual-novel.net head in disbelief and saw Jeremy’s worried face.
“Jeremy.”
“Linnie, are you okay?”
“I…” Madeline was about to explain, but virtual-novel.net remembered the truck, and effortfully pushed Jeremy away. “Jeremy, get out of the way! The truck’s about to
run into us! ”
As Madeline’s voice fell, Eloise’ s powerful voice immediately followed.
“Stop!”
Eloise spoke with a commanding voice.
Madeline then heard the truck breaking urgently.
She turned and saw the truck stopping approximately two meters away from virtual-novel.net and Jeremy. Meanwhile, Eloise was standing but centimeters away from the truck; head raised, chest puffed up, and arms wide open as virtual-novel.net stopped the truck
Madeline was shocked by Elois’s actions, and so too was Jeremy.
Madeline surveyed the scene before her, virtual-novel.net back covered in a layer of cold sweat. She could not imagine what would happen if the truck did not stop in time.
She looked at Eloise’s unyielding figure, and the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes turned hot against virtual-novel.net volition.
“Mom.”
