My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage - Chapter 746

Chapter 746:

Arion caught up to Carrie, grabbing her arm.

“Carrie, listen to me—it’s not safe here! You have to leave now!”

Carrie instinctively shook off Arion’s hand.

“Arion, you should go ahead. I can’t just leave him here like this,” she said, her voice tinged with both determination and a hint of desperation.

Her eyes darted frantically to the wrecked car, searching for a solution amidst the growing chaos.

“Emergency window hammer! Is there an emergency window hammer? Smash the window!” she shouted, forcing herself to stay calm even as her heart raced.

The smell of gasoline hung heavy in the air, sharp and threatening. A slick pool of oil was now spilling steadily beneath the car, and flames were beginning to creep closer, their orange tongues flickering ominously.

Inside the car, Kristopher’s sharp eyes scanned the interior until they landed on the emergency hammer wedged beside the passenger seat. He grabbed it with trembling hands. With a sharp swing, the hammer collided with the passenger-side window, shattering the remaining glass with a loud crack.

The driver’s side was completely crushed beneath the weight of the car, leaving the passenger side as his only escape route.

He turned to Carrie through the broken window. His voice was calm but urgent.

“Carrie, you need to leave with Arion. Hurry! This car could go up any second!”

As he spoke, Kristopher scrambled toward the passenger seat, trying to climb out through the broken window. He managed to get his upper body through, but a sharp jolt of pain stopped him. His leg was trapped under the mangled remains of the dashboard.

Kristopher gritted his teeth, trying to pull himself free, but the more he struggled, the more his leg refused to budge.

His expression grew darker as he glanced at the spreading fire near the rear of the car.

“Carrie, the window’s open. He’s halfway out. Let’s go before this thing blows!” Arion urged, trying once more to pull her away.

But Carrie yanked her arm free, her voice firm.

“No, Arion. You go ahead.

This is between me and him. I’m not leaving him behind.”

Carrie turned her attention back to Kristopher. Without a second thought, she leaned into the shattered window, ignoring the sharp edges of glass that dug into her skin. A sharp, stinging pain shot through her arms, but she gritted her teeth and pushed past it.

Ignoring the sharp pain in her body, Carrie grabbed Kristopher’s hand urgently and said, “Climb out, hurry!”

Kristopher turned, his eyes briefly meeting the growing flames at the rear of the car. He shoved her hand away.

“I don’t need your help. Go!”

Carrie’s resolve didn’t waver. She seized his sleeve and yanked, trying to pull him free.

A small smile tugged at Kristopher’s lips.

“I made you lose the bet. You’re not angry, and yet you still want to save me?”
