Chapter 56
Debby's pov
I ran a few poles and finally saw Olivia's car, parked in a corner.
I rushed to her and knocks the window gently... she winds down and pass me a worried look.
Even if I had a thought that she's faking all this, that thought just flew out the window.
Olivia's expression is obviously worried and scared... her whole body shaking in the driver's seat.
"Debby! You are here!" She said in a happy but shaky voice.
"What actually happened?"
She shakes her head and a lone tear runs down her cheek.
"I don't know what happened, I only received a call that the orphanage is on fire and I should come get my daughter"
I nod.. there's no wasting time. I open the door and pulls her out gently.
Her condition can't let her drive... luckily Anna had forcefully thought me how to drive.
Though I'm not a professional driver... I mean, I was forcefully taught... I didn't wanna learn.
"You're not in the right state to drive! Get on the passenger seat.. I'll drive!"
"But you don't know the way" she said.
"Don't worry about that, just give me the address!"
She nods and quickly rounds the car to the passenger side, I also got in and start the engine.
We buckled our seatbelts.
"Thank you so much, Debby, for coming with me!" She said with a smile.
"It's nothing... let's go save your daughter first" then we hit the road.
I stepped on the gas and increase my speed... I'm quite sure I was past the speed limit but right now I don't care.
There's only one thing in my mind... One priority and that is to get to the orphanage in a blink of an eye and save the poor child.
She's already having a difficult time not having her dad by her side... Not having her daddy's love.
I can't let her be traumatize too... I must get there fast and save her.
I guess I was so lost in my thoughts and didn't watch clearly.... A big truck is coming on a high speed towards us.
I wanted to turn away from the truck... but I couldn't. I wanted to reduce my speed but failed.
Trying to step on the brakes too didn't work.. my heart start beating fast in fear.
I turned to Olivia.
"What's happening? Why is nothing working?!" I panicked.
"I don't know!" She replies equally scared.
Oh God! Is this how I'm gonna die?
I looked up and saw the truck already too close and there's nothing I can do... My hands lets go of the steering wheel and tried to open the door to jump out but to no avail. What I heard next is a loud crash!
A very loud scream leaves my mouth.. I see my whole flashing through my eyes as the vehicle is flying in the air.
Maybe this is fate.. this is how I'll die. I close my eyes and submit myself to fate... If this is how I will die, then so be it.
Then I feel the car lands on the ground... my head hits the steering wheel, the impact is so hard.
I manage to look around and realize we lands at the other side of the truck... thankfully we didn't crush any vehicles. Just when I wanted to take a look at Olivia, I feel into unconsciousness.

The sound of sirens woke me up.. my vision was kinda blurry but after a few minutes, my vision cleared.
I wince as I feel a piercing pain in my shoulder.. I rub it gently.

*Put her out!*
*Gently!*
I heard people saying. I turned towards the voices and my eyes grew wide... They're trying to pull Olivia out.
Quickly, I tried to open the door but it didn't open. I bang on the door trying to get their attention.
Just then, I saw Andre punch the window glass and it shattered... I see blood dripping from his hand, he sees it too but ignores it.
"Hey! Mr, don't act recklessly..." A policeman tries to advise him but he glares at the policeman.
"My fiancée is fucking why are delaying to bring her out?!" He growls at the officer.
"We're trying our best to.... "
"Don't FUCKING try your best! Get her out now!"
The officer nods and calls some of his men over to my side. They tried pulling the door and after so much effort they succeeded. Andre pushes them out if the way and pulls me out quickly, though he was careful not to hurt me.
He pulled me in for a tight hug... snuggling his nose in my neck.
"Fuck!, Angel... I.. I was so scared when I heard the news.. I..."
This is the first time I've actually seen Andre this way... His whole body shaking, fear and worry obviously written all over him. "I'm fine.."
"No! You're not!"
"I'm fine, really!"
He raised his head up.
"Then why is your head bleeding?"
"Huh?"
I touched my forehead and frown as blood covers my palm.
"Let's get you to the hospital" he said.
That's when I remembered Olivia, I pulled away from him and rushed towards the officers that are trying to pull her out. They've succeeded in pulling her out... She lays on the ground.. lifeless.
Blood oozing off her head.. in fact her whole body covered in blood.
"Someone call an ambulance now!" I yells at the onlookers.
I shake Olivia, trying to get a reaction but got none.
"Call an ambulance, someone's dying!"
I feel someone raise me up.. it's Andre.
"Don't worry, I'll take her to the hospital" he said and I nod.
He bends down and carried her in his arms and rushes off to where he parked his car.
"Excuse me, ma'am!" An officer approach me.
"Yes?"
"Do you mind coming with us to the station to make a statement?"
Just when I open my mouth reply him, Andre comes back and grabs my hand.
"Officer, my fiancée need not to give any statements.. she's among the injured!" He said pointing to my forehead. "But it's necessary..."
"Instead of wasting your time here, why not go look for the trunk driver?"
The officer frowns.
"The truck driver?"
"If I'm right, he's thinking of ways to escape when no officer is paying attention!"
That does the trick, the officer rushes off and Andre pulls me towards his car.
