Chapter 615 Brake Failure

They got into the car together and drove on the main road. The lights on both sides of the road were warm and bright, which made Serina feel much better. However, Miles soon realized that something was amiss.

He steadied the steering wheel and said in a panic, "Serina, we're in trouble."

Hearing this, Serina looked around. The road was flat, and there was only one car. She asked in confusion, "What's the trouble?"

"Brakes! The brakes have malfunctioned." Miles pursed his lips.

Serina finally realized the seriousness of the matter. She looked in the direction of the brakes and asked, "How could it be?"

She had never encountered such a situation, but she had seen many similar scenes in movies.

"Then, what should we do? I'll call Manuel!" In a panic, Serina took out her phone from her pocket and dialed her brother's number without thinking.

"Manuel, what do we do if our brakes malfunction? Who is it? It's Miles. What should we do? I'm so scared!"

Manuel, who was in the middle of a meeting, immediately stopped the meeting. He stood up immediately and walked out of the conference room. He said anxiously to the man, "Roman, the brakes of Serina's car stopped working. You take the police over there now."

"Okay. I'll go right away!"

Manuel immediately comforted Serina and told her not to be too nervous.

Trembling, Serina looked at Miles and asked, "What should we do?"

Just as she was about to say something to Manuel, her phone suddenly ran out of battery and automatically turned off.

Serina wanted to smash her phone angrily, but instead, she quickly plugged in the charger, at a loss.

If it was a car with a manual transmission, the clutch could be turned into a gear and slowly stopped, but this was an automatic transmission.

"Serina, don't be afraid." Miles thought of Serina's trauma and immediately made a decision. He had to take a risk.

He turned the steering wheel and pressed the car against the bumper bar ruthlessly. Then, he tried to slow down the car with friction, but he thought wrong.

The car was moving so fast that the friction couldn't slow it down at all.

If necessary, they could only use the impact to come to a complete stop.

And Miles had to do it well, or things might take a turn for the worse.

When he saw the trees in front of him, he knew that the time was right. He turned the steering wheel again, and the car hit the first tree forcefully. However, he moved the steering wheel slightly to let the car graze by the tree.

The same thing happened the second time. After passing a dozen trees, the car finally slowed down.

However, an accident happened. There was a slippery slope in front, causing the car to head downward all of a sudden. The car turned over, and Miles hugged Serina tightly in his arms. Then, he watched the car fall and crash into the barrier ruthlessly.

Beep! Beep!

Stimulated by the smell of disinfectant, Serina woke up. When she smelled the formalin, she immediately remembered what had happened.

Coincidentally, the nurse came to change the wound dressing, and Serina excitedly grabbed the nurse's wrist. "How is that man? The man who came with me."

"Miss, calm down. Are you talking about Mr. Wilson?" The nurse's face was unusually flushed.

Miles was famous as the youngest movie star, so it was not surprising that the nurses knew him.

Serina endured the discomfort. "I mean, Mr. Wilson, how is he?"

"Mr. Wilson is still in a coma. His arm is fractured, and many of the wounds on his body have been bandaged. You don't have to worry," the nurse said.

Hearing that he was fine, Serina breathed a sigh of relief.

Although, she was wondering why he was still unconscious.

The nurse went out after changing the dressing, and a man came in.

"Manuel, you're finally here," Serina said aggrievedly. "I'm scared."

"I thought he would be able to protect you, but he still hurt you," said Manuel angrily.

"Manuel, you can't blame him for this. He didn't know the brakes were broken."

Serina pouted. "If he hadn't wrapped his arms around my head to protect me, you wouldn't have seen me."

Manuel snorted coldly. "You're still defending him until now."

"What I said is true. I saw with my own eyes that he protected me when the accident happened." She looked at his face and knew that it was not the right time to mention it. Serina pondered for a moment before saying, 'Manuel, did you replace out why the brakes didn't work? I remember we drove that car."

Manuel didn't want to hide it from her. "The brake cable was cut off."

"What? Why was it cut off?" Serina's eyes widened.

Manuel stood up and looked at her calmly, telling her his conjecture, "1 don't know... In the end, is it you who is being targeted, or is it Miles?" Roman knocked on the door gently. "Mr. Easton, I found it."

"Say it."

Serina's eyes widened, and she was also startled by her brother's aura.

Roman didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. "That car was made by Irene's subordinates. The brakes weren't malfunctioning, but they were cut off."

"Irene? It's her again!" Annoyed, Serina cried, "She's so cruel to have the brakes cut off."

Manuel's face was full of indifference. "I'll make Aisy pay."

Irene was keeping watch over Brady in the ward when several people in security uniforms suddenly came in.

As soon as they entered the ward, Irene didn't react for a while.

It wasn't until those people started unpacking the parcels and removing the equipment attached to Brady's body.

"W-What are you doing? Who are you?" Irene ran over to stop them.

The leader said, "Ms. Wade, pack your things and leave quickly. Another patient has already booked this ward."

Irene's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me? I haven't even told you when we'll be discharged, yet you've already made the reservation?"

"Ms. Wade, this matter is none of our business. If you have any important matters, you can choose to tell the management about them. We are just following the rules." The head of the security team spoke unkindly with contempt in his eyes.

"What rules? The patient's family didn't agree, and you moved things without permission."

The leader seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he held his tongue. He just continued to move things coldly.

Irene had no way to vent her anger, so she walked over to block the security guards.

She pounced over and said angrily, "Don't touch my grandpa. He's not in good health and can't stand moving around."

"Ms. Wade, please get out of the way!" The security guard's voice became colder, and his eyes were so cold.

One of them pulled Irene away, while the other two went straight to help Brady. They were determined to send them out. Irene shook her head. "I won't! I paid for it. Why should my grandpa get kicked out?"

The head of the security team sighed and placed Brady in the corridor.

"Ms. Wade, it's better for you to ask the Director, Henri Mann, about this. We're just following orders."
