Lan's men found the old house that Jessica had gone to before.
There were fresh blood stains inside, so they concluded that she should not have gone far.
However, they had almost searched the whole town, but there was no trace of her.
Lucas said anxiously, "Uncle, is there a search dog here? It's inefficient to rely on us alone. Jessica is injured. I'm afraid of unpredictable accidents."
Although QN Town was small, it was close to Birmingham, so there was a base for training search dogs nearby.
Lan immediately sent someone right away to get a search dog over.
Soon, ten dogs were brought to town.
They took the search dogs separately and searched.
"The water is densely distributed here. Will she be pushed under the river?" Lucas thought that they couldn't find her on the land, so Jessica might not be on land.
It was already night. Except for the streetlights on the bridge, the rest of the place was dark, which affected their search badly.
Soon, Lan ordered them to take five boats separately to search in every section of the river in town.
The dogs had a very developed sense of smell after the training.
After Jessica's face was scratched by the black dog, the blood on her face kept flowing in the river.
The search dogs followed the smell of blood and all headed in one direction.
Finally, they found Jessica downstream.
The rescuers immediately went into the river and brought her to the boat.
Lucas saw that Jessica was carried up dying. Her face had been scratched beyond recognition.
He had hardly cried in usual, but this time he couldn't help it.
Lucas grew up in Holland, a country below sea level. He liked sailing boats and kayaks and learned all kinds of water life-saving techniques.
Jessica was immediately given artificial respiration. Her back was squeezed so that she could breathe as quickly as possible.
Lan had already arranged for the doctor to pick her up on the shore.
Lucas found that Jessica had already spit out a lot of water and could breathe, but she seemed to be in a coma.
"Jessica, it's me. It's Lucas. Wake up." Lucas shouted. He thought that he was wrong.
Jessica did not respond.
When they reached the shore, the doctors immediately put on oxygen masks for Jessica, carried her with a stretcher, and sent her to the ambulance.
Lucas was always by her side.
When Jessica arrived at the hospital, the doctor gave her first aid.
Lucas waited anxiously outside with Lan.
Lan had been feeling uneasy and regretted not asking for news about Jessica earlier.
It was even more unexpected that the Youngren had fallen to the point of ruin, making the daughter of the Kim suffer so much.
If something happened to Jessica, he would be ashamed to face Gavin, who was coming soon.
Lucas didn't know that Jessica was his sister.
Before Gavin arrived, Lan did not dare to tell Lucas anything.
Now that they had not recognized each other, Lucas was already completely out of his mind and paced back and forth in the corridor. What if he knew their true relationship?
Lan saw that Lucas had been waiting for all the time, not even having dinner. He wanted him to go out for dinner and rest.
