She stopped in her tracks and couldn't help sighing. Then, she turned around and strode away.
In the ward, Seth shook his head slightly and placed his laptop on the dining table. He then said, "Not yet! There isn't anything left in the beauty lake. But I've found something special. I'm trying to... to find something!"
Later on, the computer started. Seth pointed at the map and showed it to him.
"Wyatt, according to what you said, if Miss Castle knows how to swim, she should at least know some water skills. At least she should have some ability to protect herself. Even if there were any accidents, she would not have been found within such a short period of time! According to my investigations in the past few days, that night, during that period, there seemed to have been an endless amount of drainage works happening upstream. According to the people over there, their water supply would regularly reach a certain danger level and would be drained out. In fear of accidents, they generally choose to do it at night time, and they would drain small quantities of water within several periods. Do you think Miss Castle was caught up with the current and washed away, so she wouldn't be in the area we are searching, so we can't find her anywhere no matter how hard we salvaged her?"
"Rapid waters?"
Looking at the map and the report, Wyatt couldn't help feeling a headache. What happened that day was too urgent. He really didn't pay attention to it. After a long time, he couldn't distinguish the situation at that time.
"Could it be? We were together!" How could she be the only one who was washed away?
If she was really washed away by the sudden current, even if she was good at swimming, how could she resist the rushing of the rapid current? Perhaps—
But at the same time, another hope arose in his heart. "Could it be possible that she was just washed to somewhere else and survived by luck? Would she still be alive?"
"Wyatt, I also don't think there should be an exception at first, but look at the terrain of the beauty lake! The beauty lake is long and narrow, and its overall shape is slightly diagonal in the shape of an S. Look at the general shape and some green belts. Doesn't it look like the profile of a beautiful woman with long hair? If you don't look at the green color, just look at the lake view, people will think of the soft and beautiful curves of a woman! So this lake has a name!"
"If you were in a small turning point, and if you and Miss Wagner were in a S- sided position, the terrain would have blocked the impact of the flood for you. If Miss Castle was in this position, she wouldn't be greatly affected, just like you. But if she was in this position, and the flood current happened to come, she would probably be directly downstream along this straight line, so we certainly can't find her in this period of time. I have already enlarged the scope of the search. Unfortunately, most of the surveillance is behind the lake, and nothing was photographed..."
With such analysis, the chances of survival were also fifty percent. It would depend on her luck, endurance, and direction of being attacked. Thus, Seth's words were ambiguous. He did not dare to give a direct answer.
He couldn't be sure if she was still alive. He had sent someone to salvage the body, but he was afraid to know the result. He had already known the whole process. He knew very well what kind of blow it would be for Wyatt if the body was really found.
No one was willing to let such a thing happen and no one could expect the result. Who could expect that they would meet a drainage by chance? The world was unpredictable. Besides regret, there was only a sigh. However, Miss Castle was the most miserable one.
Instantly, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope. Wyatt was so excited that he wanted to get up. "Find her! Quickly!"
It seemed to explain why he lost track of her in such a short time.
She must be in great danger if she encountered an emergency. But at the same time, it was not a sinking lake. It seemed that there was a little more hope. His heart seemed to jump out of his throat. He began to get excited again.
"It's really the will of heaven!"
Why did it catch up with the drainage?
If not, the situation would not have become like this.
"Waverly, please don't be hurt!"
His body was so weak that he nearly fell off the bed. When he reached out, Seth helped him up.
"Wyatt, don't worry. I will do my best! You take care of your body first. If you are like this, I can't help you. I have to take care of my work!"
He helped him up and forcefully held his hand. When their eyes met, Seth nodded. "Don't worry! I'll definitely give you an explanation!"
His restless heart calmed down bit by bit. Wyatt knew that his condition was not good, so he stopped arguing. Then a doctor came in to check and change his dressing. Soon after, his consciousness began to become dim again. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He didn't know if his body was overworked or if his mental torment impacted him too much. This time, Wyatt stayed in the hospital for nearly half a month without ever recovering. During this period, apart from all kinds of examinations and treatment, he also had to watch the surveillance videos sent by Seth when he was awake, and occasionally dealt with his work. Every day, Seth would also call him to report the progress of his work.
