Chapter 1010:
Fingers flying across the screen, she worked with frantic precision.
Ellen, still groggy, finally focused on Yelena—only for her breath to hitch in horror.
She gawked. Yelena was at the wheel, yes. But she wasn’t touching it. Instead, she was on her phone.
Ellen’s pupils shrank. Her voice rose in disbelief.
“Yelena, have you lost your mind p>
If it weren’t for the pain wracking her body, Ellen would have thought she was trapped in some kind of nightmare. How on earth could Yelena be messing with her phone while driving? Did she have a death wish?
The sharp outburst grated on Yelena’s nerves. She shot Ellen an exasperated glare. “Shut up p>
Ellen flinched, her eyes rimmed with red. Somehow, she actually listened and fell silent.
Only then did it dawn on Yelena—Ellen was the type to prey on the weak but cower when faced with real strength.
Yelena was well aware of the danger—the autopilot was compromised, hijacked by an unseen hand. If she didn’t act fast, they were all as good as dead.
Ellen’s stunned silence didn’t last long. Her hands clenched. “Yelena—stop the car!” she pleaded, desperation creeping into her voice.
“Ellen p>
Austin’s faint voice came from the back.
At the sound of his voice, Ellen whipped her head around, panic tightening in her chest. He was deathly pale, as if every drop of blood had been drained from his body. Her breath hitched as she stammered, “Austin, what… what’s wrong with you p>
A weak, almost ghostly smile curled at the corners of his lips. “I’m fine. Do you feel unwell p>
Ellen’s frown deepened. Something about him felt… off. Different.

Austin had never spoken to her like this before.
But maybe it was the blood loss. The exhaustion.
Still… for some reason, the entire situation felt like a fever dream.
Yelena’s fingers moved urgently across the surface of her phone, beads of cold sweat rolling down her anxious cheeks.
Inside the car, despite her desperate attempts to brake, the autopilot system stubbornly maintained control, leaving the speed unchecked.
“Yelena, look out!” Ellen’s voice pierced the air, trembling with raw terror.
Snapping her gaze up, Yelena’s eyes widened as the car’s headlights threw a glaring spotlight on a massive boulder looming directly in their path. The car sped toward the obstacle with heart-stopping velocity.
Her heart thudded wildly in her chest as she frantically tapped out the last sequence of code on her phone.
“Hold on tight!” she cried out, her voice thick with resolve as she slammed her finger down on the confirm button.
In the nick of time, the car veered sharply, the tires screaming in protest against the rough asphalt. The whole car rocked violently, teetering on the brink of toppling over.
Beside her, Ellen was hurled against the passenger door, her forehead crashing against the window with a sharp yelp of pain.
In the backseat, Domenic, pale and fading fast from blood loss, lay slumped and barely conscious.
Nearby, Austin’s condition was dire. His breaths came in shallow gasps, his complexion ghostly pale, while the wound on his wrist bled persistently.
