NovelEnglishChapter 1303: Cliff's unsteady movements betrayed his internal injuries, and Laney found herself being pulled away despite her protests, the medics needing space to work.
That was when Laney saw them extracting Merrick. The contrast was jarring the fierce competitor who had owned the track moments ago now lay motionless, blood masking his features. No signs of life stirred in his still form.
Laney instinctively moved toward Merrick, but his fans surged forward, shoving her back with hostile force. "Keep your fake concern to yourself!" one spat, rage twisting their features.

Sensing danger, Kailyn rushed forward and pulled Laney from the angry mob.
"Don't waste your breath on them, Laney. Merrick's fans are notorious for their blind devotion." Kailyn's voice softened with concern.
"How's Cliff holding up?" Laney could only shake her head, her voice barely a whisper.
"Kailyn, why are they painting Cliff as the villain? What really happened out there?" Kailyn shifted uncomfortably, recalling the heated discussions among the race organizers.
"From what I gathered, Merrick was leading with Cliff close behind. There was skind of exchange between them when Merrick slowed down, and then..." She hesitated, choosing her words carefully.

The race car had undergone private modifications to boost its power beyond that of a typical vehicle. This enhancement had been just enough to save Merrick's life.
Absently, Laney made her way to Cliff's side. Upon seeing he was safe, she quietly took a seat next to him.
Cliff put his arm around her, offering gentle comfort.
"I'm fine. How's Merrick?"
"Merrick has sfractures and a concussion, but he will recover, m Laney answered. "The doctor says he needs stime."
Cliff let out a sigh of relief. He was about to thank Merrick when Lahey cut in with a question.
