"The vehicle is approaching First Street. Keep up with it.” After hearing the order, most police officers jumped into their cars and followed them, leaving two of their colleagues to stay behind and pacify the crowd.
Isabella's lips gradually turned pale, and she had sweat on her forehead. Her body trembled slightly as she bled all over the floor. What just happened was so frightening that it took her a long time to react.
Jasper stood behind Isabella to hold her in case she fell. He had been nervous for her the whole time. At that moment, he was feeling conflicted, and he had a lot of things that he wanted to say to Isabella. He remained silent, however.
Several minutes later, Isabella came back to her senses, then turned around and tried to find Gary, who had already been picked up by a police officer at that moment.
As she rushed to pick him up, the policeman said, "He passed out and is likely to have a concussion. Try not to move him until the doctors arrive, please.”
Hearing his words, Isabella abruptly withdrew her hand and stood motionless. She then heard the sound of an ambulance approaching. Just as she took a step forward, she felt so dizzy that the world she saw was spinning around like crazy. Then, somehow, she felt someone supporting her firmly. And the world spun in her eyes before becoming stable.
Jasper carried her to the ambulance. He looked ahead on the road while occasionally looking at her face. On their way to the hospital, Isabella locked her gaze on him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and accidentally left several bloody palm marks on his coat. 499 Finally Safe a
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctors examined Gary. After that, they informed Isabella and Jasper that Gary had a mild concussion and was in shock. Therefore, it would take some time for him to wake up.
By then, a doctor had already treated the wound on Isabella's hand and wrapped her ina thick bandage. Looking down at her hand, she noticed the gauze on Jasper's. She frowned as she remembered he hadn't been hurt the night before.
‘‘What happened?" She asked, pointing to his right hand.
"| got a scratch. That's all,” He replied, his hand hidden behind his back. After this thrilling experience, he'd forgotten his embarrassment from the night before.
Because Isabella didn’t want to leave the hospital until Gary woke up, they stayed at the hospital. Later that evening, Ryan and Wayne entered the ward.
"Has he woken up yet?" Wayne asked, his gaze drawn to the ward.
Isabella shook her head. Then Ryan gestured outside the hospital room and said, "Let's go talk outside. I'm afraid we'll disturb him sleeping.”
Everyone left the ward in silence then. Jasper asked as he closed the door to the room, "What happened? Did you manage to catch her?"
Ryan shook his head, took his phone from his pocket, and showed Jasper a picture. The picture showed a sea with a broken railing on the coastal road.
“This is the last place where Ada was seen. When we arrived there, there were only a few car parts at the scene, and the search and rescue team is currently salvaging them. But there's little hope for us. If Ada dies or escapes, Anna's case will become even more difficult to solve," he said, 499 Finally Safe fi lowering his head.
Involuntarily, Jasper looked up at Wayne, who had a solemn and determined expression. As he had expected, Wayne appeared undeterred as if nothing could stop him from saving Anna.
"That implies that there is still hope,” Jasper said, He had never been an optimistic person, but he couldn't bear the thought of destroying the last glimmer of hope they had at this moment.
Still, Wayne remained silent, not responding to his ineffective reassurance. And everyone was deafeningly quiet.
After a while, a nurse came over and said, "The little boy is awake, but he keeps crying. Can anyone go stay with him fora while? "
Gary kept crying when he woke up. He was desperate to see Isabella and refused to let anyone near him. Wayne left because he didn't want to stay long, and Ryan took a phone call and left a short time later.
In front of the ward, Jasper sat by himself. The wind in the corridor was bitingly cold at night, forcing him to tighten his coat. With his back against the wall, he closed his eyes.
The door was opened a long time later. Following that, Isabella emerged from the ward with mixed feelings after seeing Jasper's exhausted appearance. She stopped beside him, her body blocking the bright light above his head.
Jasper seemed to sense her approach and then suddenly opened his eyes. When he looked up, he noticed Isabella staring at him. The affection deep in her eyes vanished the moment she met his gaze.
“Why are you still here?" she asked, averting her gaze and looking down at her watch.
"Is Gary asleep? Well, let me take you home." He said, avoiding answering her question. Rubbing his brow and looking at her wearily, 499 Finally Safe aa! Jasper stood up and walked toward the stairs.
Isabella froze. She paused for a moment before saying, "Sorry, | didn't realize you were still here. Sean is waiting for me downstairs.” As she spoke, she gripped the bag's strap in her hand. She was so exhausted that her fingers even went pale.
