Chapter 189
“Corey, your parents…” Elaina looked at the sensible child in front of her. She did not know how to tell Corey the news of his parents’ death.
Compared to Elaina’s hesitation, Corey was particularly cool. “I know. My parents went to the sky and became stars. They will always look at me and my younger sister.”
Elaina was stunned and a little surprised. “Become a star?”
“Yes, Jalen told me.” Corey nodded. Corey was five years old and did not understand what death was.
Jalen…
Elaina thought, would he … be so nice?
As Corey and Elaina talked, Jalen walked in. Elaina looked up at Jalen and asked, “Are the search and rescue over?”
“Yes, it’s temporarily over.” Jalen nodded. “Without precise detectors, we can’t find all alive people under the ruins. We can’t do nothing but wait for a rescue.”
After working all day, everyone was tired. They could not dig everywhere blindly. All they could do now was wait.
Elaina was sad. Although she knew what Jalen said was true, she felt sad for the people waiting for rescue under the ruins.
Jalen gave Corey a piece of candy and touched his head. “How about going out and seeing your younger sister?”
“Yes.”
Soon, Corey left, leaving Jalen and Elaina in the tent.
“I understand how you feel as a doctor and want to save everyone, but you have to admit that you are not all-powerful,” Jalen comforted.
Elaina pursed her lips and forced a smile. “Don’t worry. I understand.”
