struggle while standing motionless in front of the car.

blinked at Isabella. “Do you need any help?”
Her question was met with an instant cold gaze.
The girl turned and trembled upon meeting his gaze. Taking a deep breath,
she turned to Isabella and quickly changed her response. “Sorry, but I have
something else to attend to. You should try your best on your own.”

Isabella was left speechless. The pricking sensation in her knee was intense. It
didn’t feel like her bones were aching, but rather like there was an actual
needle inside. Not wanting to suffer, she finally relented, “Mr. Shaffer, can you
please assist me?”

“Isn’t it annoying that you always cause me problems?”

Thinking he was intentionally giving her a hard time, she patiently apologized,
“Sorry, I-”
“Well, it’s not that I can’t help you,” he interrupted.
Isabella’s eyes flickered warily. “Then, please hurry up-”
“Here’s the deal.” Taking a step closer, Seth bent down towards her,
emphasizing each word. “I’ll help you once, and in return, you’ll agree to one
request from me.”
Huh? She blinked her eyes. She was somewhat caught off guard by his
proposal, and it took a moment for her brain to process the situation. Is this
guy mimicking me? Her lips twitched. Finally, she decided to take a risk.
“Actually, Mr. Shaffer, you still owe me one request.”
“So?” Seth glanced sideways at her.
Isabella bit her lip and took a deep breath. She stated bluntly, “Please keep
your promise and assist me now.”

“I thought you would hold onto that ultimate lifeline.” He sneered, his attitude
unpleasant.
She smiled wryly and coldly replied, “Now is exactly when I need that lifeline.”
He could see the sweat on her face just inches away from him. Her hair was
damp, and her cheeks were flushed from the heat. The moment she bit her
lip, she exuded a particularly seductive charm. A strange tingling sensation
washed over him. He couldn’t help but bend down and press the button
behind the car seat, deactivating the airbag in front of her.
Isabella instantly felt relief in her legs, and the pricking sensation vanished.

However, her legs were weak from the impact of the collision. The moment
she stepped out, she accidentally stumbled, lurching towards Seth.
Thud!
Instead of bumping into him, she ended up face down on the uneven hillside.
The reason? He had skillfully sidestepped her, leaving her body throbbing
with pain, worse than the aftermath of the car crash.

Seth stood to the side, and a hint of awkwardness gleamed in his eyes. He
had instinctively dodged, suspecting Isabella was trying to retaliate against
him. Clearing his throat, he glanced at the woman on the ground. “Are you
alright?”
She gritted her teeth and struggled to get up. “Sorry… to disappoint you.”
He scoffed and frowned. “If you’re not injured, then get up quickly.”
She managed to prop up her upper body but lacked the strength to stand.
Her knee throbbed painfully from the fall, as if something had pierced it.
