Chapter 542 Life and Death Separate
Huston couldn’t listen to him. He only knew that if he let go of her now, she would have to stay here alone. He didn’t want to.
“Listen up!” Seeing him in such a daze, Kevin raised his voice and grabbed him by the collar. “The person you’re holding onto is the one who risked his life to rush into the sea of fire to save her. You can’t do this to him, understand?”
Regarding matters related to Evelyn, Huston finally understood a little. The strength in his hand relaxed for a moment, and it was during this time that Kevin pulled the fire chief to the side and said in a low voice, “All of you can withdraw.”
“Got it!” The fire chief thanked Kevin gratefully. “Thank you, Mr. Kevin.”
After saying that, he looked at the necklace that Huston held tightly in his hand, which was evidence left at the scene. The man hesitated for a moment and said, “This necklace…”
Kevin raised his hand to stop him. “Leave it to him.”
Huston had nothing left to support him. This was the only thing that was related to Evelyn. He couldn’t bear to take it away from her.
The fire chiel nodded and turned to leave.
The sound of the fire alarm gradually faded, and everything disappeared into the dark night.
The night wind kept blowing. Fortunately, the darkness of the night descended, adding a veil of concealment to this cruel separation.
With a slow turn of his head, Huston gazed at the river surface. The once winding and picturesque moat had lost its former beauty, now appearing grim and terrifying. Scattered across the pitch-black water were fragments of damaged vehicles, silently narrating the reason for Evelyn’s disappearance – she was engulfed by this body of water.
A terrifying scene gradually appeared in front of Huston’s eyes. A charred corpse had been fished out. There was no longer any life and beauty from the past, only an icy cold and stiff feeling.
Huston abruptly closed his eyes and took a big step back, almost losing his balance. With little strength, he tightly clutched the necklace in his palm.
This made Kevin worried about his current situation. “Let me give you a mild sedative to calm you down.”
Huston didn’t say anything. To be exact, he was nearing a state of losing normal bodily functions. Only when he heard the words “Evelyn” could he be awakened.
Kevin waved his hand toward the person next to him, indicating
to hand over the medication. Disinfecting, finding a vein, and administering the injection were all done in one. Meanwhile, despite being pricked with the needle, Huston seemed to feel nothing at all.
This medication was independently developed by the Lane’s Hospital. Its effect was not strong and differed from ordinary sedatives. It primarily alleviated a person’s mental state through the action of its components.
After the injection, Kevin put the syringe back into the suitcase and said to the medical staff, “You can go back first.”
There were very few people left at the scene. It was enough that he stayed here.
As the medical team left, a sense of desolation filled the air. Fortunately, there wasn’t much time before Marcellus and his team arrived at the scene.
