Chapter 133 Suncord Mountain


    Chapter 133 Suncord Mountain


    s


    No matter how many times Tracyforted herself, telling herself that it was okay and that they weren’t worth it, she still couldn’t help but feel her heart ache with sadness.


    However, this time…


    Tracy turned and looked over at Ronald, who was sitting beside her with a polite smile.


    Noticing Tracy’s gaze, Ronald cocked his head to the side and asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Tracy shook her head and averted her gaze.


    Ronald would never push Tracy into talking about something she didn’t want to.


    Instead, he changed the topic, “CeeCee, next month is your birthday. Is there any gift you want?”


    Tracy guessed that Ronald must have overheard what Liam had said. She shook her head and said, “I don’t celebrate my birthday.”


    Tracy used to celebrate her birthday. However, ever since Erin had shown up with a DNA test on her 18th birthday, Tracy no longer liked celebrating her birthday.


    For the next few years after Erin’s appearance, the Jackmans always forgot about her, so Tracy fell into a habit of not celebrating anymore.


    Ronald watched Tracy quietly for a moment, falling silent. However, he was quietly thinking.


    If she really didn’t care, why would there be an air of loneliness in her demeanor now?


    The rental apartment once again settled into a warm, peaceful atmosphere, which was broken only by the dull, persistent thudding at the door.


    However, this sound didn’tst too long. Liam didn’t have much patience.


    He gave the iron door onest kick before he stormed off.


    The engine of the sports car revved as Liam stepped on the gas, sting through several consecutive red lights.


    As he passed one of the streets, a row of modified sports cars flew past him.


    Immediately recognizing them as his racing buddies, Liam quickly turned his steering wheel to follow them.


    Whenever he was in a bad mood, Liam liked to go racing. The thrill of speeding could help him forget everything that was bothering him.


    With skillful precision, Liam weaved past car after car before finishing with a perfect drift maneuver,ing to a steady stop just ahead of the lead vehicle.


    The brakes shrieked like knives raking across one’s eardrums, and the two cars skidded to a halt nose-to- nose, barely a finger’s breadth from colliding into each other.

    Chapter 133 Suncord Mountain


    Liam found it extremely thrilling, and he felt so much better.


    s


    He was about to get out of his car to greet his friends when he froze. All of a sudden, his face drained of color.


    This ce…


    This is… Suncord Mountain?


    Panic, fear, and dread coursed through Liam at the same time.


    A flood of emotions surged up within him, and all the memories he had tried so hard to forget now rose, almost threatening to devour him.


    He felt as if a huge boulder was weighing down on his chest, and all the oxygen seemed to have been sucked out of the air around him.


    As Liam sank deeper into his emotions, someone suddenly knocked on his car window.


    Liam came back to his senses and saw his friend standing outside his window with a strange look on his face. “Mr. Liam, what… what are you doing here?”


    Suncord Mountain was off-limits for Liam. Everyone knew that.


    As such, they never called Liam along if they went racing at Suncord Mountain. No one had imagined he’d take the initiative toe today, and in such an aggressive fashion.


    Liam took several deep breaths to calm himself, though his face still looked a bit pale.


    He opened the car door and stepped out, ncing at the cigarette his friend hadn’t yet lit. Without a word, he reached over to take it, lit it, and took a deep drag.


    Smoke curled around him as he exhaled, releasing thick clouds into the air.


    Liam finally stabilized his emotions. However, his hand holding the cigarette still trembled slightly.


    He nced over at his friends, smiling as he punched one of their chests. “How could you not call me for a race? Are you afraid I would win?”


    His friends exchanged looks, unsure of what exactly was going on.


    After a moment’s silence, a few of themughed, trying to break the awkwardness in the air. “Yeah! We really can’t hide anything from you.”


    “Mr. Liam, you’re too good. If you’re here, none of us will be able to stand out. No one dares topete with you!”


    “Exactly! You attend all the rally races in Cloudville. We can only sneak in a race at a ce like Suncord Mountain where you don’te…”


    He was interrupted as someone next to him elbowed him hard. Realizing he had said something wrong, he quickly fell silent.


    The atmosphere became heavy with awkwardness once again as everyone nced cautiously at Liam.

    This only served to irritate Liam.


    I’m not some pitiful soul! Who do they think they are to look at me like this?


    s


    Liam took another puff of the cigarette he was holding and waved his hand impatiently. “Enough, do you think I’m that fragile? Am I made of ss? We’re racers. Of course, there’s some risk of danger. It happened so long ago, it doesn’t affect me any longer.”


    Even while Liam said he didn’t care, his slightly trembling fingers and pale lips were telling a different


    story.


    After all, everyone was afraid of death. This was especially for someone like Liam, who had lived a smooth and easy life since he was young.


    The ident had been a close call. Liam had been a mere step away from death’s door.


    If it hadn’t been for Erin risking her life to find him and bring him home, he would have died a long time


    ago.


    Meanwhile, Tracy had gone on a trip even though he had been fighting for his life in the hospital. She hadn’t evene by to see him.
