NovelStartChapter 54 She's Awake!
While in a coma, Corynn suffered from a seemingly never-ending nightmare. She dreamed that just as she was
finally about to escape the fire, a sudden burst of flames engulfed her the next moment.
She jolted awake, covered in cold sweat. She had sat up so abruptly that she aggravated her wounds, gasping in
pain.
“Oh, my God! You're finally awake! You scaredhalf to death!” Shirley, sitting beside Corynn’s bed, woke up
with a start, tears brimming in her eyes as she looked at Corynn.
Still shaken by the dream, Corynn’s eyes also welled up with tears as soon as she heard Shirley's voice.
She was alive! She had survived!
“Mom...” she whimpered.
“Yes, honey, I'm here.” Shirley gently wiped Corynn’s tears away with her thumb and smiled. “I'm so glad that
you're awake.”
Eager to spread the good news, Shirley hurriedly made scalls to Erick and Jason.

One silver lining of this whole ordeal was that it gave birth to a great opportunity for Jason to get closer to
Corynn.
Minutes later, Erick and Jason crushing in.
Seeing Jason, Corynn glanced at Shirley questioningly, who only smiled at her in response. After Corynn had
eaten, Shirley and Erick left to give Jason and Corynn sroom.
Jason picked up a juicy-looking apple and sat down by the edge of Corynn’s bed, peeling it as he spoke. “Corynn,
that day at the airport...”
His voice trailed off falteringly, as he wasn’t sure if Corynn was ready to recall what had happened.
Corynn shivered at the traumatic memory of the car accident and the events that followed. She was still reeling
in fear from everything that transpired.
“My tire suddenly blew out that day, and then a group of men started searching for me. At first, | thought th were
there to help, but then...”
Jason noticed that Corynn’s knuckles had turned white from gripping the blanket too tightly. He handed her the
apple, his voice gentle. “Corynn, it’s alright. I'm here now.”
In that moment, he swore to himself that he'd always protect her.
“Thanks.” Corynn nodded perfunctorily and then continued recounting the events of that day.
Jason also shared what he had learned from his own investigation. “Based on the info I've gathered, those people
were prepared. They tracked you down and then planted nails on your route home, causing your tire to

blow out...” With every word Jason spoke, his expression grew increasingly grim.
“Did you catch them?” Corynn would never forget the man named “Coby”.
Jason shook his head with a sigh. “They fled abroad soon after the incident. According to the police, they're a
notorious crsyndicate with a lot of blood on their hands.”
Corynn had expected that much. Still, she smiled bitterly.

“When the accident happened,” Jason continued hesitantly, watching Corynn’s reaction carefully, “Elliot showed
up. When | confronted the Willis family, he was there, too. We both suspected Amanda.”
Seeing that Corynn seemed unfazed, Jason felt somewhat relieved.
“I suspect it was her, too,” Corynn said simply.
She couldn't think of anyone else who might want to harm her.
“Elliot and | confronted her at the stime, but she denied having anything to do with it.” That day, Amanda
didn’t look like she was lying, but Jason refused to rule her out. He had someone investigate her, but it had
been fruitless.
Corynn mulled over Jason's words for a moment before finally voicing her suspicion. “Could she have contacted
them through someone else?”
“I considered that, but I really couldn't find a solid connection between Amanda and those thugs,” Jason said
with a shrug.
The task was posted on the dark web by someone with the code nQH. Unfortunately, he couldn't trace that
person’s IP address.
