“Yes, of course!” Jillian nodded. She cried so much that her tears had almost dried up, but she finally felt a bit

better.

After comforting her, Madelyn dropped her hold on her and looked around,

The entire race course was long since swarming with police, Uniformed officers could be seen everywhere, and

the situation appeared pretty serious.

To prevent anyone from escaping, the entire scene was cordoned off by the police with yellow tape, and several

individuals stood guard.

Everyone could only mutter quietly in place. No one dared to speak loudly. Each person was afraid of drawing

attention, thereby inviting disaster.

Madelyn recalled that she, too, had taken preventative measures when she arrived yesterday.

After sconsideration, she first lodged a police report, then called up sfriends from the combat training

center to be on the safe side.

After all, the southern suburbs were undeniably chaotic. With her limited capabilities, there was no way she

could rescue Jillian alone. She had no choice but to find a way to protect herself.

Those friends of hers were quite skilled at combat arts. When Madelyn invited them over, they readily agreed,

showing great loyalty.

Unexpectedly, many things happened later on.

In the end, the matter even escalated to such an extent.

“Madelyn, there's something | need to tell you,” Jillian suddenly said.

Madelyn glanced at her. “What is it?”

Jillian lowered her voice and started, “I heard that someone dressed in black cand gave Andy smoney

last night, upon which he immediately set up a new race. But | can’t shake off the feeling that something was off

about that race. How could a new round start before the previous one had even ended? So, | feel that they

seemed to have been targeting you.”

She then asked uneasily, “Madelyn, do you think it could've been that you've offended someone, so that person

was willing to pay to have you dead?”

Upon hearing that, Madelyn couldn’t help but frown. “Where did you hear all this from?”

“I... | heard others talking about it,” Jillian admitted softly.

In reality, she overheard all that gossip while waiting there.

It was uncertain whether it was true, but it was indeed suspicious. Therefore, she found it necessary to inform

Madelyn about it.

Madelun was eimnlu worried that if lillian knew too much it could potentially bring her trouble

Then, she smiled, looking entirely composed. “I had suspected as much. Even before | chere, | knew this

was a conspiracy deliberately targeting me.”

“Huh?” Jillian was stunned.

Madelyn remained incredibly composed. “Someone is targeting me. That was why they brought you here. It was

to deal with me.”

Naturally, the person who wanted to deal with her was none other than Janessa.

Madelyn couldn't help but recall the events of the night before-all the cars behind her desperately tried to ram

her off the cliff.

Hah! | didn’t expect Janessa to be so ruthless, determined to seedead!

Upon hearing that, Jillian promptly widened her eyes in disbelief. “Madelyn, why did you still cto rescue me

when you knew about the danger?”

“Are you kidding me? They were targetingin the first place. That was why they kidnapped you. If | hadn't

cto rescue you and left you here alone, I'd be plagued with guilt for the rest of my life if anything happened

to you.” Madelyn laughed nonchalantly.

| had made that mistake in my previous life and paid the corresponding price enough. In this lifetime, I'll never

let Janessa have her way again!

Jillian's nose stung, and she was moved to the point of tears.

“Madelyn, why are you so good to me? My family is poor, and | can’t offer you much help. Instead, | always hold

you back. Why would you still choose to cand help me?”

“Hey, please don’t cry, Jillian. I'm at a loss when you do. You were targeted because of me, so | didn’t act solely

for your sake,” Madelyn coaxed to the best of her ability.

At that moment, Sebastian was beside her. Though his expression remained stoic, and he didn’t utter a single

word, he heard the whole conversation.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Has she offended someone she shouldn't have? Otherwise, why would anyone want her dead? Moreover, her

calm demeanor suggests she not only knows who the culprit is but has even grown accustomed to being

targeted. In fact, she willingly took a risk despite knowing the dangers.

Following that thought, Sebastian found himself inexplicably irritated.

Why didn’t she tellwhen she was in danger? Did she not plan on tellingabout it after getting into trouble

out there? Or does she feel that | don’t even qualify to protect her?

As he was deep in thought, a man dressed in a crisp police uniform approached. He inclined his head slightly in

front of Sebastian. “Mr. Lockhart.”

“How's it going?” Sebastian asked without even raising an eyebrow, his voice cold.

“We've already questioned a number of them, but it appears that most of them were just onlookers, having

“Understood.” The police officer nodded, “We will certainly do our utmost best to investigate the metr

Sebastian gave a slight nod. “Thank you”

“No, not at all. It's our job,” the police officer replied politely.

Then, Sebastian turned to Wesley, “Wesley, stay here and take care of things. I'm taking Madelyn to the hospital

first.”

“Huh? You're kidding, right?” Wesley put on an utterly reluctant expression. again? Why is my luck so

terrible?”

Upon hearing that, Sebastian cast him a displeased glance.

At that, Wesley instantly relented, “Okay, okay. | got it. Just take her to the hospital with peace of mind. I'll

handle things here.”

Despite his words, he was inwardly tormented to the core.

| followed Sebastian as he sped recklessly all the way here, and now, I've got to stay to clean up the mess. How

frustrating!

“As for Ms. Lynch, you two escort her home,” Sebastian instructed the two subordinates by his side.

The two subordinates wouldn't dare to disobey him. They immediately nodded. “Understood.”

After making all the arrangements, Sebastian cast a cold gaze at Madelyn, then glanced at the car.

Understanding his meaning immediately, Madelyn hobbled over and obediently got into the car.

Subsequently, the car drove off into the distance.

After they had left, the women at the scene finally dared to marvel at Sebastian. “Wow! That was Mr. Lockhart?

He’s so handsome...”

“Exactly! He's just too handsome!” They all swooned over him.

“Ahem, ahem...” At just that moment, Wesley cleared his throat.

The group of women gave him a once-over before reluctantly adding, “Oh well, this one isn’t too bad either.”

At the hospital, Madelyn was already lying on a hospital bed twenty minutes later.

Sebastian had the best doctor in the entire hospital conduct a thorough examination for her.

Fortunately, once the examination was done, the doctor said, “Apart from her knee having been injured quite

severely, there's no significant damage elsewhere. You can rest easy now.”
