Chapter 290 What If It Worked

“Thanks,” Maggie said while holding back her tears, determined not to cry.

I’ll find it!

I have to find it….

Ignoring her surroundings, Maggie kept searching near the table. Inside the temple, three large statues, each several metres tall, had collapsed, along with smaller statues of other deities, about half a metre tall,. falling on both sides.

Maggie shook her head and whispered, “You go first.”

Frowning, Ethan pulled her up. “Mr. Harris risked his life for you, Ms. Adam. If something happens to you, how will we explain it to him?”

Of course she knew about what Ethan said.

But she couldn’t help thinking. What if? What if it worked?

Ethan didn’t say anything more and quickly searched within Maggie’s indicated area.

As time passed. Alex moved further back to the pavilion, letting the doctor attend to Nathael.

“How much longer?” Alex asked, feeling anxious.

“Thirty–six seconds.”

“We have to leave now!” Alex was impatient, noticing signs of Nathael waking up.

“Mr. Harris!”

Nathael opened his eyes slowly. Ignoring everything else, he asked hoarsely, his vision still blurry. “Where’s Maggic?”

Alex had a grim expression. He’s asking about the one thing I wish he wouldn’t ask!

Alex felt guilty as he looked towards the temple, stuttering, “M–Ms. Adam

Nathael’s gaze darkened. He struggled to get up and walked towards the temple. His steps were unbalanced, but he hastened his speed.
