Chapter 457: Chapter 457: You Are My Life!
"No need, you are my wife, so it’s my duty to protect you."
Although Kyle Keaton didn’t look at July Quinn, his tone was filled with a seriousness and determination that July had never heard before.
"Aren’t you afraid that if you crash and die later, I will inherit your assets and find a young stud? Then, the young stud will use your money and sleep with your wife?"
After July found out the car had been tampered with, she thought about driving herself.
If the situation became dire, she would let Kyle jump out, and crash into a stone pillar herself, since she felt her life wouldn’t last long anyway.
She had said those provocative words intentionally to get Kyle to switch with her.
However, Kyle responded unexpectedly: "If I really die, then you can find another. Just remember to wait until I’m completely dead, so I don’t see. Otherwise, given the love-devoted nature of us Keaton Family members, I might jump out of the grave and strangle the two of you."
"Are you a love-devoted type? Couldn’t tell."
July teased him, not meaningfully.
"Our Keaton Family are always love-devoted types. My grandfather used to say that in our family, there’s only widowhood, no divorce. I thought he was joking but after meeting you, I believed it."
"Believe what?" July was still scheming how to trick the steering wheel away from him.
Then Kyle softly said, "I believe that if one day you really suddenly leave, I’ll follow you down there."
July felt as if the blood in her entire body was frozen instantly.
He... would follow her down there?
No!
No way!
"Don’t you think about your family? Your friends?"
July hoped he would dismiss such a notion.
"Family and friends can’t accompany me through the rest of my life; my rest of life is only you. Without you, everything is meaningless."
Kyle seemed to have made up his mind: "July Quinn, hold tight!"
When July realized what was happening, she saw Kyle suddenly sharply steering to the left.
When she could clearly observe the road condition, she realized Kyle intended to have the car hit the tree trunk on the right to stop the vehicle.
"No!"
This was very dangerous.
Moreover, Kyle’s steering would cause him to hit the trunk directly.
At this moment, Kyle suddenly turned around to look at her.
His gaze was deep and focused.
"July Quinn, as long as I have a breath left, I won’t let you suffer any harm. Because... you are my life."
This was the last sentence he spoke to her.
Then, the car crashed into the big tree.
A deafening crash echoed into the sky!

Two hours later, July sat leaning against the ground opposite the emergency room, blankly staring at the glowing red light above the room, her mind filled with Kyle’s words before crashing into the tree.
"If I really die, then you can find another. Just remember to wait until I’m completely dead, so I don’t see. Otherwise, given our Keaton Family’s love-devoted nature, I might jump out of the grave and strangle the two of you."
"Family and friends can’t accompany me through the rest of my life; my rest of life is only you. Without you, everything is meaningless."
"July Quinn, as long as I have a breath left, I won’t let you suffer any harm. Because... you are my life."
If her life truly ended at this point, it seemed it hadn’t been lived in vain.
At least in the final moments, she knew someone loved her, far more than his own life.
July Quinn closed her eyes with a smile, yet crystal-clear tears slid down the corners of her eyes...
