Joey rubbed his nose, looking into his fathers eyes. After a moment of silence, he smiled.
Im fine. I feel energetic, actually. Maybe someone was cursing me just now.
Have you taken your medicine? Victor asked.
Now that he had mentioned the medicine, Joey remembered the bowl of bitter medication he had this morning. The boy swallowed and nodded.
Upon seeing the boys response, Victor nodded and said nothing more.
Joey blinked. Perhaps because the heating was on, he felt a little stuffy being in the car. He wanted to roll down the windows a little bit, but the second he touched the button, he heard Victor say,
Dont open the window.
Joey glanced at his father from the corner of his eye, and found that Victor wasnt even looking at him. It was as if the man had eyes on the back of his head or something.
But its really hot in here, Joey murmured.
If you feel hot, I can tell the chauffeur to turn the car around and take us back to Sue Garden, so you can get some rest, Victor said, turning his attention to the boy.
Upon hearing that, Joey withdrew his hand at once.
On second thought, its not hot at all.

Victor shot him a glance; his gaze displayed an unclear notion of his thoughts. Joey was starting to feel uncomfortable. Just as the boy was about to change the topic, something unprecedented happened.
They all heard the screeching sound of tires.
And because the car halted abruptly, its wheels left two sets of tire marks on the asphalt road.
Joey almost hurtled forward, but Victor managed to catch him just on time.
Joey wondered what was going on. The car was steadily driving earlier, but it abruptly stopped to a halt. He raised his head, wanting to take a look at the scene. But before he could even ask what was going on, someone covered his eyes.
It turned out that Victor had held him in his arms and blocked his sight.
Close your eyes and dont open them no matter what you hear,
Victor said.
Why not?
Bang!
Something collided against their car heavily, causing Joey to feel dizzy.
If he were to open his eyes at this moment, he would see that their car was in the middle of two vans. Both vans tried to hit their car again and again, and the doors of their car caved in.
And if this were to continue, their car would soon topple over.
