Ethan's voice quivered with barely contained rage as he located the injury on Madison. "Are you trying to get yourself killed, Madison?"
Startled by his outburst yet aware of his concern, Madison didn't care about the onlookers and wrapped her arms around Ethan’s waist, looking up to speak softly, "Ethan, I know you’re worried about me, but no one can back down at a time like this. I’ve done my best to protect myself. I promise I won’t get hurt again, okay?"
Only then did Madison realize, "How come you’re here?"
Ethan’s gaze bore into hers, "I couldn't find you."
Heaven knows what his heart had been through upon learning that Madison had gone to the disaster zone and that another earthquake had struck. He dared not imagine the worst.
After venting some of his emotions, Ethan calmed down slightly. "You... fly this plane."
He pulled Madison towards a nearby fighter jet, "This was my mother's jet, well-maintained, with top-of-the-line performance. If you insist on staying, fly this one. Or else, forget it."
Yin Xiangtian, overhearing this, was shocked as she looked at his retreating figure. That jet, which Ethan had once treasured as his life, was now…
She couldn't help but scrutinize the woman by his side.
Just then, a group of rescued victims was brought over.
Madison pushed Ethan away urgently, "You need to leave now, we have to take these people to the hospital."
"Quick, Henry, Charlie!" she called out.
"Right!"
They stepped back as the injured were loaded onto the three planes one by one.
Ignoring the wound on her head, Madison prepared for takeoff quickly.
This jet was a genuine fighter, even more advanced than the ones flown by Dong Buwen and his team.
It was clear how exceptional Ethan’s mother had been.
The majestic fighter jet ascended slowly; with Madison at the helm, they made a beeline for the nearest hospital.
From afar, Ethan felt helpless as he watched. He couldn't influence Madison's decisions, yet his concern weighed on him.
"William, under the name of Mukino International, donate ten million in medical supplies. And pay top dollar for a personal physician for the team."
Unable to do anything else, Ethan sought to ensure Madison's safety by hiring a doctor to accompany her.
"Also, ground ninety percent of Mukino Airlines' commercial flights. Have the flight crew on standby to transport donated supplies from other provinces for free," Ethan directed as he sat atop the rubble.
William hesitated, "President Grant, this will lead to losses..."
"Just do it," Ethan’s voice was stern.
"Yes, sir."
Yin Xiangtian approached, "This place isn’t safe; you should leave."
Ethan didn't reply. He just glanced at her and then smiled slightly.
That smile, tinged with a hint of disdain, left Yin Xiangtian momentarily speechless.
Avoiding Ethan’s piercing gaze, she announced, "I'm off to work."
Ethan stayed put, ignoring the advice of Madison and Yin Xiangtian, waiting for Madison’s return.
Madison was too busy to speak to him, despite several trips back and forth.
Regardless of the wind's force or the rain's intensity, Ethan remained motionless, his gaze fixed on the spot where Madison’s jet landed and took off.
Media at the scene caught sight of Ethan but chose not to approach him for an interview.
His current expression was daunting; no one dared come near.
"It's no use! We can't lift it!"
A voice nearby caught Ethan's attention.
He turned and saw someone trapped under a steel bar. Standing up, he walked over to help.
"I'll hold this; you pull them out."
The rescue team stared at the man in a suit coat who had appeared, a little confused.
Was this a disaster victim or someone just spectating?
But now wasn't the time for such considerations. They handed Ethan the bar.
Ethan exerted all his strength to prop up the heavy concrete slab.
"Lift a bit more!" someone shouted.
