...
Huo Miao's complexion was pale, and she trembled with fear all over her body.
The illuminated phone suddenly started to vibrate, and a calling alert popped up on the screen.
Huo Miao's hand shook, and without even seeing who was calling, she couldn't help but let out a desperate scream and furiously smashed the phone to the side!
Her shrill voice startled not only Mu Mingxuan beside her but also the driver, who jerked the steering wheel slightly, causing the smooth ride of the car to sway momentarily.
Fortunately, the driver reacted quickly, gripping the steering wheel tighter, and the car soon steadied itself.
Mu Mingxuan's phone wouldn't turn on, probably because the battery was drained.
Seeing Huo Miao suddenly breaking down, Mu Mingxuan, unconcerned about the car's swerve, quickly wrapped his arms around Huo Miao and comforted her in a low voice, "Miaomiao, what's wrong?"
Huo Miao cried in sorrow, her mind plunging into an unprecedented state of fear and despair.
