Chapter 157
“I came to bring you out. If you want to die here, just sit there.”
He ignored everyone and carried Hesper in his arms.
The pain in the back of his head reminded her that if they couldn’t go back the way he came in, he would probably be trapped there with Hesper.
He rushed into this place that had collapsed. Before the aftershock ended, the emergency response team wouldn’t be able to come in.
Only Isaac, his team, and Rickard came in.
After digging through the rubble, the roof was loosened and might collapse further, and a piece of the collapsed wall hit the back of his head.
The cut behind Hesper’s back was still bleeding and it didn’t look promising. She had to be sent to the hospital to stop it as soon as possible.
Rickard’s tone scared the woman who didn’t dare speak up again. He didn’t seem to want to hurt Hesper, so she just quietly followed him.
The sky was turning brighter and the way out wasn’t blocked. Rickard managed to bring her out from the rubble.
“Ma’am!”
Isaac and the team walked out of the rubble without finding anything and saw Rickard with Hesper in his
arms.
“Mr. Duval…” Benji rushed over when he saw Rickard. He was relieved when he saw the two teams and immediately fell to the floor.
Hesper felt that she had been sleeping for a long time. There were a few times when she felt that she was in the hospital, but she just couldn’t muster enough strength to open her eyes.
“The doctor said that she’s not in critical condition, but she lost a lot of blood. Her wound was exposed to too much dust and got infected,” Isaac reported into the phone and Hesper realized that it was to
Matthew.
“You’re coming over now?”
Hesper smiled sadly… She had to trouble him.
This time she lost the need to fall back asleep. She slowly opened her eyes, and the light made her squint, then she opened them wide.
“…Isaac.”
Isaac hung up and immediately heard her voice, so he walked over to her bed.
