Chapter 238
He only wanted to race with Amelie and did not want to complicate matters.
“Isn’t she a good racer? Can’t she adapt to even a minor change?” Ashton went on sarcastically, “It looks
like Dash can only race in broad daylight and on a straight road. What kind of dashing is that?”
His words were mean, undermining all of her previous accomplishments.
However, Amelie simply smiled. She casually looked around and asked, “Do you want me to agree to
this race that badly?”
Her sharp gaze seemed to be able to cut through the darkness. Elyse, who was hiding in the audience
seats, happened to meet Amelie’s gaze and the coldness in it shocked her.
Despite knowing that Amelie couldn’t see her, Elyse couldn’t help but be startled.
She felt Amelie’s question was directed at her for some inexplicable reason.
No… It can’t be!
Amelie doesn’t know I’ll be here!
Elyse tried to console herself before putting on a brave expression and raising her head. When she
looked at Amelie again, the woman had already turned her head away, showcasing only her fair neck
from behind.
“I agree to it,” Amelie said as she casually strapped on her helmet.
Hearing that, Elyse felt her tenseness decrease and a cunning smile appeared on her face.
Truth was, she was the one who summoned Ashton.
Besides, she also gave him the idea to hold the race in the manner he suggested.
Ashton ignorantly thought that Elyse’s suggestion to hold the race in such a way was merely to scare
Amelie. He had no idea that she had an ulterior motive.
Though Elyse couldn’t find out anything from Amelie’s eyes when she looked at her today, from the
cornea transplant consent form Ellen brought back previously, it was stated clearly that the donor had
donated her left eye’s cornea.
If Amelie was indeed the donor, she wouldn’t be able to see anything with her left eye right now.
With her right eye blindfolded, she would be akin to a blind person.
And how could a blind person race?
Elyse had already thought of ways for Ashton to force Amelie to agree to his suggestion by hook or by
crook.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut unexpectedly to her, Amelie readily agreed to it.
Thus, Elyse only had to wait for Amelie’s performance now.
If Amelie completed the entire race successfully, it meant that there were no issues with her eyes.
At best, she was merely the Big Eyes who accompanied Leo during the times he was abandoned. Even
if Amelie told him the truth in the future, he would not believe it.
There was no reason for Leo to doubt Elyse’s identity at all, especially given that she had lost her
eyesight in her left eye, not to mention her diaries and other information.
However, if Amelie were truly the one who donated her cornea, racing with her right eye blindfolded
would almost certainly result in a fatal accident, saving Elyse the need to get rid of Amelie with her own
hands.
Meanwhile, seeing that Amelie had agreed to Ashton’s suggestion, Chris did not say anything further. He
quickly took two scarves from Ashton’s grasp and handed the bright red one to Amelie.
He didn’t give it much thought and simply felt that the bright red scarf complemented Amelie’s red shirt.
“Thank you,” Amelie murmured, her smile as beautiful as a rose blooming in the darkest of nights.
Amelie’s smile is truly captivating! Chris exclaimed in his heart.
Amelie, on the other hand, ignored everyone else and jumped into the driver’s seat of the car right away.
She then took out her phone and opened her racing app.
Her slender fingers clicked on some settings, and the entire race route was shown on the screen in no
time.
A delicate woman’s voice resonated from the phone. “Racing mode has been activated. Good luck,
racer.”
Amelie smiled faintly and bowed her head to blindfold her right eye with the red scarf. She then put on
her special Bluetooth earphones, which automatically connected to her phone.
With the audio broadcast function, the fact that she couldn’t see wouldn’t affect her performance in the
race.
She had also practiced blindfolded racing with Julia so many times that a new race route would not affect
her at all.
Meanwhile, Chris noticed Amelie setting the navigation on her phone and assumed it was her habit to do
so before a race.
When Ashton saw the same, he sneered, thinking that Amelie was indeed incompetent since she
needed to set the navigation for such a simple race.
Elyse, on the other hand, couldn’t see what Amelie had done as the latter was already in her car.
And so, all three cars then went to the starting point.
Chris had previously downloaded a bell sound to his phone and connected it to the loudspeaker.
When the bell rang, the three cars took off like arrows from their bows.
Elyse stood up slowly as she saw the cars getting further away, her gaze fixed firmly on Amelie’s red car.
The red car nimbly drove past all the curves and spun freely, as if it were a bird flying freely in the air.
No one would have guessed that this was a dangerous sport when they looked at the freely moving red
car.
Is there nothing wrong with Amelie’s eyes? Elyse pondered as she clutched her platinum bag tightly, her
lips pursed.
The race was set to be five laps.
Within two minutes, Amelie’s car had stopped at the original starting point, followed by Chris’ car, which
stopped right next to hers.
Even though their time differences were only two to three seconds, such a difference meant a lot to
professional racers.
“Dash, you’re indeed fast!” Chris admitted defeat.
Hearing that, Amelie jumped out of the car and removed her red scarf while smiling confidently.
Chris was mesmerized by her yet again when he saw her smile.
Ashton was the last to arrive, with a time difference of thirty seconds.
When he reached them, a defeated expression could be seen on his face.
He had previously thought Amelie was incapable, but she proved to be more than capable of defeating
Chris, a highly skilled racer.
All of Ashton’s previous words were now a slap in the face for him.
This was a total disgrace for him. After all, he was a young master from a wealthy family who had never
been this embarrassed before.
Hence, he slapped his helmet on his steering wheel, venting his anger.
At this point, his phone’s notification alarm rang, notifying him that he had a message.
Seeing that it was a message from Elyse, he quickly opened it without any hesitation.
Elyse texted, ‘What’s the shining thing in front of Amelie?’
She was further away and couldn’t see clearly what it was except for the fact that it was shining brightly.
Elyse wasn’t particularly surprised by the results of the race. However, she somehow felt that something
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas amiss, so she asked this question.
‘The navigation system.’ Ashton depressingly replied to her message.
Navigation? Elyse was also a racer and she was even more skilled than Ashton. Hence, she knew that
there was an application specifically designed to broadcast the race route to aid racers.
It might not work well on complicated routes, but it could work flawlessly on simple laps with no errors.
Why did Amelie need to use the navigation system?
There is no reason for a professional racer to use navigation for such simple laps!
Elyse began to analyze the situation.
Suddenly, she remembered the previous race in which Amelie had defeated her. In that race, Amelie was
also blindfolded for the entire duration and depended solely on Julia’s route broadcast.
At the time, Elyse assumed Amelie did it to humiliate her, but apparently it was all because Amelie had
vision problems and chose to be blindfolded to not affect the race!
There must be some issues with her eyes!
She is Amy, the person whom Ellen always mentioned!
Such a sudden realization caused Elyse to unconsciously release her grip on her bag, and her bag fell to
the floor with a thud.
“Who’s there?” Chris heard the noise and started looking around while pulling out the torchlight.
But Ashton quickly approached Chris and took away his torchlight. “It’s impossible for anyone to be here.
Maybe it’s just a stray cat.”
When Chris heard that, he accepted such a possibility and did not pursue it further.
Meanwhile, Elyse hid for a moment before raising her face indignantly again.
She then noticed Amelie leisurely tidying her helmet and car accessories. Is she preparing to go back
now?
The truth is out! She is the woman who donated her cornea to Leo. She’ll be trouble for me if I let her go
tonight!
Elyse had had enough of people looking down on her and she couldn’t imagine how Leo would treat her
if he found out the truth.
With this in mind, she clenched her fists and bit her lower lip tightly, oblivious to the fact that she had
bitten down so hard that her lip was bleeding.
Her white teeth were stained with blood, but all she could think about was how she could keep Amelie
here forever so that she would never appear in front of Leo again.
Elyse’s gaze fell and, as if the night had given her miraculous strength, a bold idea emerged in her
mind…
