Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2229

The rescue operations outside proceeded intensively. Various equipment was set up on the flat ground, and rescue teams entered the mine one by one. Their entry represented the hope and chance for life of those trapped underground..

Later, Jacques persuaded Josephine to return. to the base and rest. The nighttime temperatures here were too low, and women were prone to hypothermia under this kind of temperature.

“Miss Jacobson, if you want to see Mr. Ethan return safely, you must ensure your own well- being. If something happens to you, Mr. Ethan will definitely chew my head off, Jacques advised earnestly.

Although reluctant, Josephine ended up agreeing to his suggestion. Before getting into the car, she grabbed Jacques’ arm and urged, “If there’s any news about the rescue, please inform me immediately.”

“I will, I promise, Jacques assured her. Josephine returned to the base and was directly escorted to Ethan’s room. As she pushed open the door, the sight of some documents and a cup on the desk tugged at her heartstrings.

“Miss Jacobson, there’s hot water here. You can take a shower. If you need anything, just let me know,” an assistant said. “Thank you, I appreciate it.” Josephine nodded. She had no problem conversing in Chinese.

After the door closed, Josephine sat at Ethan’s desk and looked at the computer. The documents on the side had his signature on them. She gently picked up the pen he had used, holding it in her palm as tears uncontrollably streamed down her face. The quieter and more alone she was, the harder it was to let her fragility show.

The news of Ethan’s accident had been kept under wraps, and the outside world was still unaware of it. There would be a significant impact on the stock of the Quarles Group otherwise. Speculation from the public could cause the stock price to potentially plummet. Ethan was the sole heir of the Quarles Family. If something happened to him, the shareholders. of the Quarles Group might start having other thoughts.

Edward was also arranged to stay at the base overnight because the Arctic temperatures at night were unbearable for the human body, and precautions had to be taken to prevent hypothermia.
