Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 455

Carson and his crew trailed behind Elio's vehicle, they turning nervous when they saw an oncoming car

barreling towards them, headlights blindingly bright.

"Boss!" Carson yelled, his foot slamming down on the accelerator as he veered his car towards the

incoming one, trying to throw it off its deadly course.

As a well-known street racer, Elio's driving skills were not to be underestimated.

The man in the other car, thinking he could easily smash into them, was taken aback when Elio's car

executed a slick turn, swiftly skimming past him.

There was a deafening crash, and the black SUV smashed into a wall, becoming total wreckage.

Elio's car, however, pulled off a stylish drift and came to a smooth halt at an intersection.

Carson's heart was in his throat until he saw Elio and Astrid emerge unscathed from their car, a sigh of

relief escaping him. "Boss, you guys scared the daylights out of me!"

"Boom!!!" Another loud explosion rang out, the SUV was now a ball of fire.

Watching the flames shoot towards the sky, Elio and Astrid remained eerily calm. Carson, however,

was muttering under his breath, "The guy's toast, we won't be able to get any information now!"

"Boss, maybe you should stay at the office for a while. It's too dangerous out here. These guys must be

nuts, trying to ram us like that."

Elio glanced at the distant fire, then at Astrid, asking softly, "Are you scared, Astrid?"

Astrid raised an eyebrow, "Scared? Not a chance."

"Let's go. Lucas is waiting for us at the hospital." Elio opened the car door for Astrid, turning to Carson,

"Handle things here when the cops arrive."

"Got it, boss."

As Elio and Astrid's car vanished into the night, Carson couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.

Not long ago, they had noticed something odd about this stretch of road and the SUV. Elio had wanted

to capture the driver alive, but who would have expected the car to explode into flames upon impact

with the wall? NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

One problem solved, but how many more were lurking in the shadows? Being the boss was tough.

Before Elio and Astrid could reach the hospital, they received numerous calls from Amanda.

Lucas was in bad situation, his health failing fast.

Upon reaching the hospital, they sprinted towards the emergency room, only to be stopped by a doctor,

"Family members are not allowed in, the patient is in a critical condition!"

Astrid, desperate to help, blurted out, "Doctor, I am a doctor too. Please let me in."

The doctor looked Astrid up and down, "Aren't you an actress? What kind of doctor are you? This is a

hospital, not a movie theatre! Please leave!"

"I'm sorry, doctor!" Astrid pushed past him and rushed into the room, quickly donning a white lab coat

and preparing for surgery, "I am a specialist hired by the Lampard family. You will follow my

instructions."

The other doctors and nurses in the room exchanged baffled glances as the primary doctor, trembling,

reentered the room, "Do as she says."

Who was he to argue? The man standing outside was Mr. Lampard!

As the surgery resumed, Amanda and Matthew paced anxiously outside the room, their hearts heavy

with worry.
