He was so spooked that he mmed the gas pedal, making the car swerve wildly and crash into the guardrail. Jumping out of the car, he watched the massive truck that hadn''t bothered to stop as it disappeared down the road, sending a chill down his spine. Suddenly, the nurse''s words from earlier that day echoed in his mind.


    This had to be Quinn''s doing. Quinn wanted him silenced for good!


    As he stood there,pletely at a loss, a soothing female voice cut through his panic.


    It was ra.


    Earlier at the hospital, ra had masked her voice to sound deeper, but now she was using her natural tone.


    "Hey there, are you alright?"


    ra''s car was parked nearby, seemingly stopping out of genuine concern.


    Dr. Gribble saw her face and froze-she was Quinn''s sister!


    He quickly adjusted his sses, his lips trembling. "I''m okay. I''m okay. Thanks for asking."


    ra nodded, her brow furrowed as she nced toward the truck''s disappearing taillights. "These truck drivers are getting out of hand. If you hadn''t swerved in time, it could''ve been a disaster. You''re lucky you avoided it."


    Dr. Gribble felt like a deer caught in headlights, his mind buzzing with fear.


    ra asked gently, "Need a lift to the hospital? You don''t look too good."


    "No, no thanks. I''m a doctor myself."


    He didn''t want to linger around ra, knowing she was the victim of the whole miscarriage.


    ra smiled warmly. "Alright, take care. Wait here for the cops; that truck driver will definitely face some consequences."


    Dr. Gribble felt a stab of guilt at her kindness and couldn''t meet her eyes.


    ra drove off, confident that she''d done enough. This guy would surely piece it together and realize Quinn had orchestrated a hit.


    Dr. Gribble waited for what felt like an eternity until the police arrived and called him and the truck driver over. The moment he saw the truck driver, his knees nearly gave out.


    The guy was huge, and rough-looking-definitely not someone you''d want to mess with!


    He had to be one of Quinn''s hires.


    Dr. Gribble couldn''t even bring himself to look at the truck driver.


    Meanwhile, the truck driver locked eyes with him, like a hunter eyeing its prey.


    Dr. Gribble was a stickler for the rules and a bit of an old-school guy. He only ended up helping Quinn under duress. Now, faced with a life-or-death scenario, he was a mess and was barely able to follow what the police were saying.


    As he was about to leave, he heard footsteps behind him-it was the truck driver, following him!


    He was sure the man intended to silence him for good!


    Terrified, he gged down a passing taxi and practically dove in, vanishing in a sh.


    The truck driver stood there, his fierce expression disappearing.


    ra emerged from behind a nearby tree. Her face lit up with a smile. "You did fantastic."


    The truck driver was an actor she''d hired at thest minute. With his naturally imposing build and a scar by his mouth, he certainly looked the part.


    He scratched his short hair. "I have no idea why he got so scared."


    ra chuckled, watching Dr. Gribble''s retreating taxi. She had a hunch he wouldn''t be catching any sleep tonight.
