"No..."
It was only one word, but she had exerted all her strength and shouted herself hoarse.
Wendy helplessly watched the white Land Rover that had carried her many times explode with a bang. The burning red flames filled her sight, and her eyes were wild with terror. Then, flaming fragments of broken car doors, tires, and glass kept falling from the sky.
A sudden chill stole over her body. It felt just like when she was eight, to see the red blood spreading around her mother's body after she jumped off the building.
Next to her, the horrifying scene astounded everyone. The blast made their hearts sink and twist painfully.
No, no!
Wendy ran straight to the fire spot as if she had lost her mind.
Emily, who was the closest to her, hurriedly took Wendy in her arms to stop her. She said, repeatedly shaking her head, "Wendy, you can't go there!"
Simon also came up to help. He blocked in front of her and grabbed her shoulder, trying to prevent her from wriggling free.
Simon also did not want to believe what had happened, but seeing the car explode with his own eyes, he knew Charlie had little chance to survive this time. If anything bad happened, as Charlie's friend and brother, he should take care of Wendy for him. Thus, he would not let her go through any dangers, not to mention that she was pregnant now.
Simon took a deep breath, trying to keep his thoughts calm and rational, and said, "Miss Lim, you can't go there now. The police officers, fire crews, and medical staff had all come. The situation ahead is too dangerous. A second explosion may happen at any time..."
Right after he finished speaking, two bangs came.
All the cars passing by stopped. The bangs were so loud that Wendy and others had to bend down and cover their ears with their hands.
Then, they looked at the scene again. There, the fire burned even more fiercely, and the air was filled with the smell of gasoline and smoke, a desperate smell that made people want to cry.
The accident happened on the highway near the river bridge. Since the spot was in a remote area on the other side of the river, it took the police and medical staff more time to arrive. The police had set a cordon ten meters around the site. The road was closed to vehicular traffic.
Emily held Wendy tight while Tilly grabbed her hands to comfort her. Her tears had already blurred her vision, and she sobbed, "Emily, Tilly, I'm going to find Charlie. Don't stop me. I'm going to find my husband..."
Emily and Tilly felt like crying, but they could not let go of her.
None of them could do anything to help, so they hoped that the police and firefighters would save Charlie.
"Haha, Wendy, finally, you cannot laugh, can you?"
Suddenly, a burst of sad and shrill laughter came, and then a woman coughed.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
