Chapter 543 Overwhelmed by Sorrow
Seeing that everyone was ready, Marcellus looked worriedly at Huston, who had not said a word from beginning to end. “Huston… how is he?”
“He’s on the verge of collapse.” Kevin shook his head with a bitter smile. “I just gave him an injection to calm him down. If anything happens to Evelyn this time, I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold on.”
For Marcellus, who had always disregarded worldly matters, it was the first time he deeply experienced the feeling of helplessness. He had always believed that there was nothing he couldn’t accomplish through effort. However, now he finally understood that sensation.
An insurmountable gap separates life and death. Even the greatest abilities cannot reverse it.
The news of the incident involving the escort car was intercepted by the higher authorities. They issued orders to prohibit the reporting of any related information. The consequences of defying this order would be severe, so the outside world was currently unaware of this news.
There was only one exception, and that was Grace.
She was having dinner with Lucy and Ben in Hub Apartment
when she suddenly received a strange number. When she picked it up, she found it was Matt.
This man…
Her face darkened, and she was about to hang up. However, before she could make a move, a piece of shocking news came from the other end of the line. “Something had happened to Evelyn.”
Grace tightened her grip on the phone. “What did you say?”
“Something happened to the car responsible for escorting her. The car fell into the river and exploded. We haven’t found her yet.”
When these words entered Grace’s ears, she even thought she had misheard for a moment.
She had never thought of such words. How could they fall on Evelyn?
However, Matt’s words made her believe: “This incident has been sealed off, and you must not disclose it to anyone. We informed you in case we need cooperation from Evelyn’s side, and you can provide assistance.”
Grace couldn’t speak. She looked up at the window in front of her. Her pale face and unusually red eyes were reflected in the glass. She only said one word before she choked with sobs. “What… did you say?”
Hearing her voice, Matt said in a deep voice, “Don’t cry.”
When Grace arrived at the scene, it was nearly half past ten in the evening. She took a taxi to the tunnel entrance, which had limited the passage. She walked over on foot. The distance was not close, but she was unconscious and walked step by step.
She could see the dazzling light from the emergency lights over there from a distance. With each step she took closer, her heart sank a little further because the closer she got, the more she realized that everything Matt said was true.
Something happened to Evelyn.
These words seemed to have been engraved in her mind. When she walked out of the exit, she saw the broken railings and burn marks left on the scene.
At that moment, she finally understood what it meant to be struck by lightning and overwhelmed by sorrow.
She felt dizzy, as if a hammer had smashed her head. She couldn’t accept it, no matter how hard she tried. Evelyn was still alive a few days ago. How could something have happened to
