The Day He Matured

When the clock struck five o’clock in the morning, it was also time for us to get in the car and set off toward the coastal city.

I sat in the back seat with Mrs. Alina and didn’t dare look up at the driver’s seat because I was afraid that I would cry.

The closer the moment of parting came, the more I could not control my emotions.

Near six o’clock in the morning, the car arrived in the coastal city because Brian drove the car on the highway.

I glanced at the empty streets and felt strange even though I had been here twice before. Maybe because it wasn’t yet morning, my eyes couldn’t see clearly.

I don’t know why I suddenly felt insecure and I felt like my intestines were burning hot. If my parents were still alive, I would have thought that something bad had happened to them.

I was about to tell Brian to slow down when suddenly a truck coming from the opposite direction appeared in front of us and was rushing at us at an amazing speed.

I just had time to see lights flash, hear screams and shrill sounds in succession, and then completely lost consciousness.

I don’t know how long it took, but my consciousness gradually returned. My whole body ached, I could feel the smell of blood rushing into my nose.

“Mrs. Alina… Mrs. Alina…” I struggled to move, reaching out and shaking the person next to me.

Mrs. Alina closed her eyes tightly, blood was pouring down her face.

I don’t know where she was injured, the car door on her side was dented, and countless pieces of broken glass fell on her body.

“Brian… Brian…”

The utter terror caused my mind to panic. Brian did not answer me, he sat motionless in the driver’s seat.

My leg was stuck under the passenger seat causing me indescribable pain. I wish I could cut off my legs so that I could get out, crawling over to see how he was.

This stretch of the road is so deserted, not a single car passed for me to ask for help. After struggling for a long time, I was able to pull my leg out.

From childhood to adulthood, I have never experienced this pain. It was too much for me to endure.

“Brian… Brian…” I shook him as soon as I leaned forward.

His whole body was soft, no longer conscious, and blood streaks from the top of his head kept flowing down, soaking his white shirt.

Is today the end of the world? Why did things turn out to be this bad?

Fortunately, the car door on my side was opened, if it was dented and stuck like the mistress’s side, I could only cry in despair.

Brian’s car was pushed to the curb by the truck, the side door of the passenger seat was pressed by a large tree, and the driver’s seat was the front of the truck. This is the only way out.

Without thinking much, I tried to help Mrs. Alina remove her foot stuck under the driver’s seat. I will take her out of the car first and then drag Brian later because this is the most convenient way.

However, things are not as simple as I thought or quick as I thought. Her legs were stuck, completely unable to pull out.

“Please come out, please come out…” I cried bitterly, my hands constantly pulling in despair.

Even though I did everything I could, I still couldn’t get Ms. Alina’s legs out of the mess.

I was like a madman, no longer caring about myself, using ten fingers to tug at the thing that was gripping her leg.

It wasn’t until the excruciating pain came and my fingers could no longer move according to my will that I was helpless, gave up, and cried.

“Bella… Bella…” Mrs. Alina whispered.

“You… you try a little harder, I…”

“Don’t, Bella, ignore me. Hurry… you quickly save Brian, get him out of the car quickly. There’s not much time left.”

Right now I smell smoke. What is happening? Will the car explode like the scenes in the movies?

Impossible. I have to save both of them. I love Brian and I cherish his mother very much.

The words that hurt me from her, after all, were all my fault. I don’t resent her, and I don’t want her in danger. I don’t want to lose anyone.

“Hurry up, Bella. No time anymore. Don’t you love Brian? Rescue him quickly.”

Mrs. Alina’s angry screeching made me realize that there was no time left. There will come a time when people are forced to choose, but why in this situation?

The smell of gasoline and smoke was getting stronger and stronger, so I had to obey her words, crawling to the driver’s seat.

My crippled hand trembled, struggling to unbuckle Brian’s seat belt. I feel like all of my fingers are broken. I hurt so much.

My body was almost exhausted, I had to scream repeatedly to get the strength to pull Brian to the back seat because that door was the only way out.

I wouldn’t regret it if time didn’t favor me and let me explode with the two of them.

However, I don’t want him to die, he is young, he is kind, he has many ambitions and I love him, I want him to live and live happily and well.

So, even if there’s only a second of hope, I’ll still try to save him.

I don’t care where his limbs collide anymore, I just focus on pulling him out of the car.

I just need to get him out of here, I’m sure the hospital will help him heal other wounds on his body.

Getting out of a burning car is the first ray of hope. Brian’s blood and the blood in my limbs and tears and sweat scattered all over the floor of the car.

This space is too narrow. I swore I would never buy a car if I had a lot of money.

Perhaps the passionate, sacred love has given me strength. I was finally able to pull him out.

The moment his feet left the car, we both fell to the ground. My breathing was almost interrupted even though I used my mouth to breathe.

“Pull him away, don’t come in here anymore.” Mrs. Alina shouted when I rushed over.

“Ma’am… ma’am…”

The helplessness makes me want to go crazy. I cried like rain as I faced the approaching death of the woman who had helped me for the past three years.

Her eyes showed no hatred for me but were filled with love. Why am I, not a superhero? Why don’t I have magic? Apparently, she’s still conscious, just getting her out of the car is fine.

“Go quickly. Bella, please get Brian out of this place.” She shouted. It was almost all her last breath.

“I’m sorry…”

I had no other choice, so I had to give up on her. I put my arm in front of Brian, using both wrists to hold him and pull him away because my hands could no longer do anything.

I give him this last bit of strength and hope he has a chance to live. As for me, I will probably die because I am too hurt, too tired, too exhausted, too scared, too sad.

“Mrs. Alina…”

My eyes blurred and my ears buzzed after the earth-shattering explosion resounded. High flames and black smoke enveloped the car and the truck.

Apparently, not far from the scene, there were many cars stopped but they did not come to help us.

If someone had come and helped us, his mother would have been able to get out too before the cruel fire consumed everything.

I’m exhausted, I just hope they’ll be merciful enough to take Brian to the emergency room.

Darkness enveloped me, I could no longer hear or see anything.

When I woke up, I found myself lying in a room covered in white. My head hurt, my limbs hurt, and when I moved, I felt like I was being tortured.

Horrible scenes kept popping up in my mind. That’s right, I was traveling with Brian and his mother when the accident happened. I got him out, and the car exploded with his mother.

“You are awake.” The young nurse gently pulled the IV line from my hand and said softly.

At this moment, I realized that my hands were wrapped in white bandages. Before I could ask, the nurse seemed to have noticed my surprise and shock, so she spoke before I opened my mouth.

– Seven out of ten of your fingers have been broken. Recovery time will be quite long. Fortunately, your legs and head were only slightly injured.

Seven of my fingers have broken. But that’s okay, I’m still alive and what I care about right now is Brian.

“Miss, do you know how the man with me is now? Is he in this hospital?” I tried to sit up and asked.

“He’s in the emergency room. Multiple injuries. I heard the doctor say that his head was seriously injured, and the prognosis was very bad. That’s all I know.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

When I heard her words, it was as if I heard a thunderclap in the clear sky. My beloved. That cannot happen to him.

God, why did this incident fall on him? Am I the unlucky comet?

He and his mother are always safe when he and I are not in love or dating.

If only Mrs. Alina hadn’t kept her promise. If only I hadn’t asked her to take me on a trip so she had to promise. If only she had let me drag my suitcase and leave that morning, things would be different.

If they don’t take me to travel, they will still be safe, going to the company and the bank to work like they used to.

“Where’s the emergency room, nurse?” I tried to get out of bed and asked when she was almost to the door.

“You’re still very weak, don’t wander around.” She panicked and caught me and advised me.

As a result, I was forced to return to the hospital bed. I am as weak as a slug now, wherever she leads me, I go there, no longer having the strength to resist.

Okay, I’ll find the emergency room myself and get there when she’s out of here.
