The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Just as the car nearest to Victoria was about to run into her, a white Ferrari rushed into the scene and

collided with the black car with a bang.

After the two cars ran into each other, they didn’t stop. Instead, they spun and rammed into the green

belt at the side.

Screech—

Screech—

Brakes sounded one after the other, and along with the braking sounds, the traffic on this road was

thrown into chaos.

Victoria opened her eyes. The blinking headlights were so blinding that she couldn’t quite keep her

eyes open. She stood frozen at the center of the accident, and she could hardly make out someone

scrambling out of the Ferrari, running toward her in panic.

When the person neared her, she finally recognized the driver whose head was all bloody. It was her

elder brother.

“Tori, are you all right?” Vincent pressed her shoulders, looking up and down at her in worry. “You—”

“Go somewhere else if you want to die!” The driver of the black car got out, holding his bloodied head.

He interrupted Vincent angrily and said, “And you, watch where you’re going! How can you just drive

into oncoming traffic? Did you buy your way to a driving license?”

“Quit yapping. Tell me, how much money do you want? I can compensate you! Is a hundred thousand

enough?” Vincent quickly signed a check and tossed it at the owner of the black car, annoyed.

As he held the check in his hand, the man was so pissed that his face reddened. “This isn’t about

money. I didn’t get hurt too seriously this time, but what if someone died? Can your stinking money buy

my life back?”

“Sorry, it’s all my fault. My brother did it because he was worried about me. I’m really sorry.” Victoria

bowed at the man, full of regret as she apologized to him. When she recalled the scene just now, her

heart was still pounding.

If something happened to her brother, but she herself was in one piece…

She licked her dry lips, feeling like an invisible hand had clutched her heart, squeezing it so that she

couldn’t breathe.

“Why are you apologizing to him?” Vincent frowned. Then, he signed another check and tossed it at the

man. “He’s just complaining that the numbers are too small.”

The man looked at the number on the check and swallowed, not making another sound.

After the traffic police came over, they were informed that both parties had come to an understanding.

After reprimanding and fining both parties, they towed away the badly damaged white Ferrari and black

car.

Victoria was worried about Vincent’s injury on his head, so she forced him to go to the hospital with her.

When the doctor said that Vincent had almost injured a vital spot which nearly cost his life, she pursed

her lips tightly, tears running uncontrollably down her face.

“Don’t listen to the doctor. Doctors always like to exaggerate things so that they can earn more.” Seeing

Victoria cry, Vincent was heartbroken as he glared at the doctor.

The doctor went silent, reluctant to get into an argument with Vincent. “Your wounds are quite deep, so

you have to be hospitalized.”

“I refuse to!” Vincent stood up. Not caring for the doctor’s angered protests, he pulled Victoria along

with him as he walked out of the hospital straight away.

If he got hospitalized, their parents would ask what happened, and they would blame Victoria again!

It was quite cool at night, so he took off his jacket and draped it over her body. “Don’t take it off this

time. If you treat me like a stranger again, I’m really going to be mad!”

“Vincent—” Victoria called his name quietly, stopping in her tracks. “Your wounds are very deep, so I

think you should be hospitalized.”

“Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill like that quack doctor? I said I don’t need to!”

Just then, Vincent neared her and took a whiff. His expression changed drastically. “Who made you

drink alcohol? Don’t you know your body’s condition?”

“I just drank a little. It’s fine, Vincent.” Victoria’s eyes glistened as she spoke softly.

“Nonsense!” The smell was so strong that she couldn’t possibly have drunk just a little. xo.com

fast updateVincent frowned and asked, “Does your stomach hurt?”

Victoria was having severe gastric pain, so after hesitating for a little, she nodded.

“F*ck!” Vincent shouted. Seeing her pale face, he carried her in his arms and went back into the

hospital.

Her gastric problem was quite severe, and after the doctor checked up on her, he reprimanded her for

not taking care of her body. Then, he prescribed her some bottles of medicine and went out.

The ward instantly fell silent, and the siblings didn’t say anything.

A moment later, Victoria asked with complicated feelings, “Vincent, why did you run into that car just

now?”

If he were a little unluckier, he would have lost his life.

“What’s the other option? Should I have stood by and watched while you got killed in an accident?”

When he recalled the scene just now, Vincent shuddered.

Victoria lowered her head, a sour feeling welling up in her heart.

She knew Vincent loved her, but she never thought that Vincent would prioritize her even in moments

between life and death.

“Tori.” Vincent placed his hands on her shoulders. When he remembered how she closed her eyes and

prayed for death, his voice turned grim. “Just pretend you’re doing it for my sake. Don’t die, okay?”

Victoria’s head was lowered, her untidy bangs covering the fatigue and bitterness in her eyes.

“Just hang in there for a bit longer, alright?” Vincent’s eyes were filled with pleading. “I know I’m not

capable enough, and I can’t win against Christian. However, I’ve already started learning the ropes in

the company. Trust me on this. Just a little longer, and I’ll definitely think of a way to pry you away from

Christian’s grasp!”

“Vincent—” Victoria looked up, her voice soft. “I’m really tired, though. I can’t hold on any longer.”
