A time bomb had been planted under the car, and Nathanial York, on top of Matilda Jenkins, caught a glimpse of the bomb beneath the vehicle, and saw that the bomb was activated.
The sound of the propeller was so loud that no one heard the beeping countdown.
He saw the countdown numbers on the bomb, the time was very short, short enough that no rescuer could carry him away, short enough that no one could evacuate, and there certainly was no time to find a bomb disposal expert; even if there were, defusing the bomb so quickly would be impossible.
Watching the bomb's countdown, Nathaniel York struggled too, but when he looked again at Matilda Jenkin's face...
Suddenly, he had nothing left to struggle for; he preferred her to live rather than die together.
How much did he like Matilda Jenkins?
