"Get in the car!" Khalid's voice was cold, but Emily was quite happy to hear him say that, for he was not bothering with Elis anymore.
"Mum, | don't want you to go with him! He's a bad person, he'll bully you!" Elis stubbornly grabbed her hand and wouldn't let her leave.
"Elis, it's alright, | am going to the police station, it will be alright! The police will protect me!" Only after hearing Emily say that she was going to the police station did Elis breathe a sigh of relief.
In a child's mind, the police are the most sacred profession, and they won't let the bad guys do whatever they want! Only after coaxing Elis back into the house did Emily plan to get into the car.
She had originally planned to sit in the back seat, but, just as she left the door, Khalid took the initiative to open the door for her.
If it were any other woman, they would have been overjoyed when a man like Khalid took the initiative to open the door for them.
But when he took the initiative to open the door for Emily, she felt no surprise, only shock.
She didn't want to sit so close to him on the passenger side, but she didn't dare to disobey him either.
She could only cautiously lean towards the car door to keep the maximum distance from him.
Noticing Emily's movements, Khalid frowned.
He tapped the steering wheel and wrinkled his brow as he spoke, "Emily, are you that afraid of me?" "No... no." When he heard Emily's stammering reply, Khalid was speechless! He gripped the steering wheel and started the car.
Since he did not speak to her, Emily could not help but take a breath of belief.

Khalid was like a demon to her, and every time she was beaten, she got seriously injured.
She was very poor and usually played an important roles in the , but the money she earned was not enough to buy medicine for her father and Cassius, so every time she was injured, she did not bother to put medicine on herself.
She only endured the pain, waiting for the fuzzy blood and flesh to slowly scab over, leaving hideous scars over and over again.
When she saw Khalid, she thought of the terrible beating and the endless kneeling in front of Adeline's tombstone in repentance. That kind of fear, rooted deep in her heart, had become a habit that could not be discarded.
While Emily's body was tense all the way, Khalid was distracted all the way.
Adeline's deception of him was not as deep in his heart, and all that lingered in his mind was the cruel torture he had inflicted on Emily.
Because he was so distracted by driving, when he reached the fork in the road, he didn't even notice a heavy truck rushing out from the next fork in the road.
Realising the danger, he panicked and steered to avoid the heavy truck, but because he steered too hard, the car rushed too fast and actually ran off the side guardrail.
Emily did not expect such a sudden turn of events, and she was so frightened that she forgot to scream.
The moment the sky turned upside down, all she could think of was how sorry she was that she couldn't see Josiah again before she died.
He hadn't been told that Elis was their child, that their child was still alive.
Emily was lucky, the sports car crashed into a sharp rock, Khalid's head hitting the car window heavily on the side, she actually had no visible wounds on her body, except for her back which was sore from the crash.
Emily couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She hadn't had time to react, but she smelt the heavy smell of petrol in the air.
She didn't know much about the construction of a car, but she knew that it would be dangerous about the leaking gasoline, and in case it exploded, she would probably be in fire.
She didn't dare to delay in the slightest and hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.
Khalid fell into a brief coma because of the impact on his head.
After she got out of the car, she realised that Khalid was still in the car and if the car exploded, he would definitely die.
And if he died, all her suffering and torment would be over.
In the end, Emily still turned back.
She was not a saint, she just didn't want to see death and become a demon like Khalid.
No matter how hateful he was before, this moment, he was seriously injured and unconscious, he was weak.
She pulled open the door on Khalid's side of the car, although his head was bruised, fortunately, his body was not pinned down by the parts of the car, otherwise, even if she wanted to save him, she would not have been able to get him out of the car.
However, even if she had got him out, it would not have been easy.
He was tall, with hard bones, and with him on her back, he almost crushed Emily.

She gritted her teeth and it took her lots of strength before she could barely take a step with him on her back.
After being carried on Emily's back, Khalid woke up, he too smelled the strong smell of petrol and saw the girl who was carrying him on her back.
His expression, for a moment, froze. He was so badly injured that he couldn't move, and it was easy for her to want him dead.
He also thought that, as she hated him so much, she would be desperate for him to die.
Khalid moved his lips, his voice hoarse, "Emily, why?" Hearing his voice, Emily was so scared that she almost threw him out. However, he was too heavy for her to throw.
Thinking she didn't understand him, he asked again, "Emily, you obviously hate me so much, why did you save me?!" "Mr. Smith, we are different." Still with obvious timidity, she had unabashed humility.
Khalid was in a trance for a moment, not knowing what to say, they were, indeed, very different.
Emily didn't want to talk to him any more, carrying him was hard enough, if she wasted any more words with him, she would die of exhaustion.
After carrying him to a place away from the car, Emily put him on the ground and squatted down, panting hard for a while before she had the strength to call the hospital.
No sooner had she finished than the car in the distance exploded with a loud bang and was then engulfed in flames.
Emily had a moment of fear, luckily she had run just in time and far enough away, otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
She actually wanted to take advantage of Khalid's injury to negotiate some terms with him, but when she thought of his indiscriminate, cruel and ruthless appearance, she finally swallowed the words that were on her lips.
If he didn't know how to repay her kindness and continued to torment her in the future, it would be her bad luck.It was already late at night when she had dealt with Khalid, and as she was just about to return to her home in the slum, her mobile phone rang.
It was a call from the hospital. Elis had been in a serious car accident and was now in the emergency room, and was in a critical condition.
