Reborn Second Chance With The Scheming Tycoon novel Chapter 211

Chapter 176 Did… did someone actually see Damien’s body?

Her legs felt like they were made of lead–every step impossibly heavy.

Amelia Johnson glanced over at Brandon Taylor, but the words just wouldn’t come out.

It was like… as long as she didn’t ask, reality wouldn’t smack her in the face.

“Amelia!” Evelyn Taylor’s voice broke through, her eyes panicked and helpless.

Claim

Amelia’s heart skipped a beat. She moved stiffly toward her, only to be pulled into a tight hug.

Evelyn’s sobs echoed in her ears.

She wanted so badly to comfort her, say something, but she was terrified that if she opened

her mouth, she wouldn’t be able to hold it together either.

Her lips parted a few times before she finally squeezed out a shaky question. “What… what

happened to Damien?”

Liam Taylor looked like he was about to fall apart. “It’s Damien. He’s gone. There was a

massive explosion. His car got blown to bits. His entire team’s been wiped out. No survivors

so far…”

He hadn’t said all this when he called earlier, just that Damien had run into trouble.

But hearing those details now felt like the ground had been pulled from under her feet.

Amelia stumbled back a step.

She whipped around and looked at Brandon. Her whole body trembled like she could faint

any second. She didn’t even care to ask why he had sugar–coated the truth.

“Did… did someone actually see Damien’s body?”

“No,” Brandon’s voice cracked. “But with an explosion like that, and the fire… the bodies were

charred almost beyond recognition…”

Amelia’s mind went blank. She shook her head over and over like she could deny it all away.

No… no way. As long as no one’s found Damien’s body, then he’s still alive. He has to be!”

“He promised me he’d come back safe…”

Suddenly, her vision turned fuzzy.

She really didn’t want to cry–but the tears? They just wouldn’t stop.

Watching her fall apart like that, Brandon’s chest tightened too. He had thought he could

handle this, thought he could find Damien in time. But this… this was out of his control.

“I have to find Damien…”

Claim

Amelia turned to leave, stubborn as ever, but after just one step, her legs completely gave

out. Her frail body crashed straight to the floor.

As she lost consciousness, the only thing in her mind was still Damien.

When she came to again, it was already deep into the night.

For a second, Amelia thought this had all just been a nightmare–that when she opened her

eyes,

Damien would be right beside her.

Smiling, joking, teasing her just like always…

But then she pinched herself hard–and the pain hit sharp enough to bring real tears to her

eyes. Every drop of blood in her body felt like it flowed in reverse, her limbs turned ice cold,

her chest so tight she could hardly breathe.

It was only now that she truly felt it: Damien meant everything to her.

She cried until her whole body felt numb. Then she wiped her eyes, clenched her teeth, and

mumbled to herself, “Crying isn’t gonna fix anything. I have to help Damien. He’s out there… I

just know he is.”

Without letting anyone know, she slipped out of the Taylor home and headed straight back to

Taylor Mansion.Emily Carter had already heard about what happened to Damien Taylor. As

now?”
