Chapter 196
Cillian and Lucy walked back to the car, shoulder to shoulder. This time, Cillian was in the driver's seat, and Lucy sat beside him. They were having a great time talking.
The car gently merged onto the highway.
Cillian stopped the conversation with Lucy to pay more attention to driving. It was always better to be careful on the road to avoid accidents.
Perhaps Cillian had accidentally cursed their trip.
Even though they were on the highway, a huge truck appeared out of nowhere and slammed into the passenger side with a thunderous crash.
Both Lucy's and Cillian's heads throbbed with pain as the airbags popped out. They blacked out in the car.
Other drivers nearby were shocked by the crash. They quickly called for help and circled around the big truck.
The person in the truck did not try to run away. Trembling, he dropped a spade symbol at the crash site and then breathed his last.
The ambulance arrived in no time. Lucy, Cillian, and the truck driver were all rushed inside. The paramedics were giving Lucy and Cillian urgent care to keep them breathing until they got to the hospital.
The doctor working on Cillian froze for a second when he saw Cillian's face.
He looked unbelievably worried, but he managed to stay calm and quickly continued with the emergency care. He hoped to prevent any further harm. Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Cillian and Lucy were whisked into the emergency room while the truck driver, who had stopped breathing early on, was pronounced dead and taken to the morgue.
Time was slipping away, and the
hospital staff tried to contact Cillian's and Lucy's families. However, their phones were lost in the crash, and no one could be reached.
The staff paced the ward, unsure of what to do next. They needed family members of the patients to provide their signatures before the doctors could operate.
In the midst of the chaos, a nurse stepped up. "I know Cillian. He's my cousin. I'll sign for him," he said.
"And the young lady must be his

rules, but he pushed it aside knowing that it could save Lucy's life
Thanks to the nurse's quick thinking, both Cillian and Lucy were soon out of surgery. They lay there, still unconscious. The breathing machines were puffing softly. The nurse who had signed for them let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that they were safe.
Just then, his phone rang. It was his dad, a police officer. "Dad, aren't you at the crash site? What's up?" he asked, a frown creasing his brows.
His dad's next words stopped him cold. "We found a clue at the crime scene—a spade symbol. It's the sign of a secret group of international assassins.
Cillian's cousin, Leroy, was totally confused when he heard this. "What are you talking about? That can't be true!"
