If Nicole left now, at least she might survive.

Nicole tried to grab the man's hand, but he clenched his fist tightly and resisted.

Nicole asked, "Why? Why are you resisting? We're running out of time!"

The fire in the back seat was intensifying, and the car's rear was nearly engulfed in flames. The van that had tumbled into the valley was now a charred husk, looking utterly horrifying. Time was slipping away. They needed to move fast.

Seeing the man still wasn't cooperating, Nicole said, “Write it on my hand."

Understanding her, the man wrote a single word on her palm. “Leave,”

The way he hastily wrote down the word suggested his urge for her to leave quickly.

Nicole gripped his hand before the man could pull away and said, "You trust me, right? I promise to get us both out alive."

The man remained unconvinced, but Nicole persisted. “If you won't leave, I'll stay right here with you. In less than five minutes, this car will go over the cliff. We can either die together or live. It's your choice, and I respect it.”

At her words, the man's fingers clenched firmly. Clearly, Nicole's determination resonated with him. At last, he flipped his hand over and clasped hers, signaling his readiness.

Nicole said, "Then I'll start."

Her palms and back were drenched in sweat. Fear gripped her, but she couldn't turn back.

In life, there were no second chances. Only choices that either mattered or didn't.

Nicole believed the man, who had saved an entire truckload of abducted girls, was a true hero and deserved better than this fate.

“Get ready," she said firmly, gripping his arm tightly and stepping back to give them room. Taking a deep breath, she counted, “One, two, three!"

"Crash!" With all her strength, Nicole pulled the man toward her.

Then, the man tumbled into Nicole.

As the man was dragged out of the black SUV, the car plummeted off the cliff with a loud crash.

"Ugh..." Nicole felt dizzy and disoriented, overwhelmed by the weight of the man pressing down on her.

Regaining his senses, the man quickly shifted, relieving the pressure on Nicole.
