The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 512

On the emergency lane of the highway, Ellinor was standing alone by the road.

The surroundings were pitch black, with occasional cars whizzing by, providing a fleeting brightness.

Walking on the highway was risky; a speeding car could easily hit you. So, after getting out of the car, Ellinor didn't continue walking. She turned on her phone's flashlight, hoping to get noticed by passing cars.

Meanwhile, she was also on the phone with Ida Gipson.

"Ida, where the heck are you?"

"I'm in Y state, remember? You told me to fly out here and have a sit-down about the LifeForce Corporation takeover. Caught the morning flight. Did you forget?"

Ellinor rubbed her forehead; she had forgotten that Ida was out of the country.

"Something up, boss? How's the Howard family's shindig going?"

"Uh-huh, just be safe out there in Y state; I'll get Chase Larios to pick me up!"

After hanging up with Ida, Ellinor tried calling Chase.

Shockingly, Chase's phone just kept ringing; no one was picking up. What on earth was he up to?

Ellinor looked around the dark surroundings, furrowing her brows in thought. Was she really going to be stuck on the highway till dawn?

In the old days, she could've easily spent a night outside, no matter how harsh the conditions or how cold the winter night was.

But now she was pregnant. She could take risks, but she couldn't risk her unborn child.

If she got sick from staying out in the cold, it would affect her baby. Plus, she couldn't even take medicine.

If she called the police now, she might end up in the news tomorrow.
