Chapter 677:
Austin’s eyes narrowed. “You’re rambling p>
Yet, as if against his own will, Austin sent Yelena a message. “Where are you? I need your opinion on something.” He waited, but the phone remained silent.
John grabbed the phone from Austin, shaking his head. “Stop waiting like this is a fairy tale. Why not just call her? It’s not going to bite you.” Without hesitation, John pressed the dial button. It rang for a moment before Yelena picked up.
The sound of Yelena’s voice was enough to send Austin’s heart racing.
It thundered in his chest like a drumbeat.
“Hello? What is it p>
John quickly shoved the phone into Austin’s hand, winking playfully, urging him to speak.
Austin hesitated, his voice thick with uncertainty. “Nothing… I just accidentally dialed your number p>
Yelena’s voice was calm. “If that’s all, I’ll hang up p>
But before the call could end, a deafening honk broke through the air, followed by the screeching of tires. A truck was careening toward Yelena’s car, its massive frame threatening to crush her. The truck’s horn blared relentlessly, drowning out any words.
In a flash, Yelena reacted. Her fingers flew to the hazard lights, and she swung the steering wheel with precision.
Her car swerved, narrowly avoiding disaster, the tires screeching as they left black marks on the asphalt.
Though she seemed calm, a storm raged in her chest, her heart pounding with the force of a jackhammer.
She steadied her breath, regaining control.

Just then, Austin’s voice crackled through the Bluetooth, tinged with worry. “Are you okay p>
Austin had heard the truck’s horn and Yelena’s sharp breaths over the phone, his instincts telling him that something was wrong.
Yelena took a steadying breath before saying, “I’m fine. It was just a small accident. All sorted now p>
A small accident?
Austin knew Yelena too well. She was always the picture of composure, hiding her emotions even when things were falling apart.
Like last time, when Madonna had tried to hurt Yelena, and she hadn’t uttered a word even after getting injured.
Austin’s concern deepened. He didn’t want Yelena to bottle everything up.
“Where are you? I’m coming to see you p>
Yelena hesitated. “No need. I’m p>
Before she could finish, Austin interrupted, his voice firm, yet oddly gentle. “Don’t refuse me p>
Yelena froze. His tone was extremely soft, and, surprisingly, she wasn’t as resistant as she thought she’d be.
She gave him her current location.
“Good. Now, stay put. I’m on my way p>
Before Yelena could reply, she spotted someone running toward her. The figure was disheveled, their clothes soaked in blood, their hair wild as though they had just crawled out of a nightmare.
