Chapter 540 There’s Hope Before the Result Comes Out
Huston didn’t believe it. This was impossible.
But…
He slowly turned to look at the river. Everything was charred black. The strong smell on his breath reminded him that everything was real and not an illusion.
Firefighters were rushing around in search and rescue while Huston stood still, slightly hunched over as if unable to straighten up due to extreme pain. “It’s impossible, absolutely impossible…” he murmured.
As time went by, the sky gradually darkened. After hearing the news, Kevin rushed to the scene with his medical team. As soon as he got out of the car, his body stiffened.
There was no need for rescue. It was already in a mess.
He caught sight of the man standing at the broken railing, and a bitter ache filled his heart. He dared not dwell on it too deeply, afraid that he would drown in this sorrow.
Kevin closed his eyes and quickly walked over. At the same time, a firefighter walked toward Huston.
He was wearing a gas mask, and his voice was not very clear. “We’ve found this, Mr. Lloyd…”
As he spoke, he raised his arm and slowly opened it before Huston. It was a very thin chain. The body of the chain was covered with many burnt impurities, but Huston could still make out a little bit of the chain.
Because of this, Huston could not help but tremble uncontrollably when his gaze landed on the chain. This chain would have completely shattered his obsession if he had still held on to the last shred of hope earlier.
He gave it to her. At that time, he deliberately asked someone to make an exception for her so that she could wear it all the time. But now, it appeared in the fireman’s hands…
The chain was still there, but she was gone.
Huston stared blankly as he watched the fireman put the chain into a transparent bag and seal it before handing it over to him.
When his fingertips touched the cold sealed bag, his heart kept twisting. He suddenly felt dizzy when he thought of how she used to smile sweetly when wearing this chain.
Kevin quickly supported him, feeling a myriad of emotions welling up inside. His eyes grew warm with tears as he said, “Huston…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the man beside him
suddenly struggled fiercely, lunging towards the broken railing.
Kevin thought he had a dangerous idea and quickly joined the firefighters to restrain him and pull him back.
“What are you doing? Are you crazy?” Kevin roared in exasperation as he watched Huston fall onto the ground as if he had lost all of his strength.
“Kevin…” Huston looked at the darkening sky and called out to Kevin in a choked voice. Tears welled up in his eyes, gathering at the corners before cascading down. “Her necklace is here, but she’s gone. Can you tell me why?”
He watched the firemen swim back and forth. They were looking for the girl in his heart. But why did they have to look for her on the river?
Kevin squatted beside him and looked at his despondent
expression. He could not bear to say that cruel answer. “There’s still hope before the result comes out.”
Hope?
A strange smile appeared on Huston’s face. “Yes, there’s still hope. What if, what if she…”
