Chapter 70 Section five

Beth.Decker leaned over the wheel of the Ford.He gripped the steering wheel with both hands, and stared fixedly at the dark highway ahead.Beth.His foot pressed hard on the gas pedal.He didn't want to drive the car over the 65 mph speed limit because that would attract the attention of the police, but every time he looked down at the speedometer, he was horrified to see that the speed had reached 75 mph.He must drive slowly.In case he gets stopped in a stolen car... Beth, he repeated her name over and over.why are you lying to mewho are you?Who is Diana Scolari? The time displayed on the dashboard of the Ford car was more than 1 o'clock in the morning, but he felt that it should be later.Due to excessive fatigue, his head throbbed and throbbed, and his eyes seemed to have sand in them, making them cough uncomfortably.Plus, the bruises and scrapes from the fight in the car and the fall from the accident were all burning now.The fall on the transport truck almost broke him.In the past year, he thought that as long as he exercised regularly every day, such as jogging, playing tennis, etc., he could maintain a good physique.But now he realizes that his physical strength has declined and he has not been able to maintain a professional level of preparation.

He thought angrily, but so what?I left that life behind and set out to reinvent myself.Why should I do anything to prepare? For everything!He insisted on thinking so.He cranked up the horsepower, turned his headlights bright, and overtook a pickup truck.I let my guard down, what a fool!Beth, he called inwardly. Perhaps he called out when he called Beth's name.His throat was dry and his vocal cords tightened.why are you lying to meShoot your husband?Take $2 million from your husband's safe?What the hell is this—was the shooter telling the truth?Are these people telling the truth?What about McKittrick?How did he get involved in this?

Now he must be calling Beth's name aloud.Inside the cramped Ford, his angry cries were even more aggressive.Fatigue and pain finally overwhelmed him as he stepped up the gas and drove up the dark, long winding road of Mount La Bayada, and he could no longer resist the disturbing emotions welling up in his heart.He couldn't drive them away, couldn't sort them out.Is this the love he feels?Can he get a full explanation?When he finds Beth, will she give him a convincing explanation?Or is his emotion just the opposite—hate, anger, or betrayal of love?Does he really want to save Beth?

Or was he trying to catch and punish her? The Ford rushed to the top of the hill.Dizzy, Decker suddenly saw the lights of Santa Fe.Santa Fe, the name of the Spanish city translates into holy faith in English, and he felt a bitter irony when he thought of it.He must have - he prayed - faith.
