Chapter 161 Save Him
Kate looked at the rubble left behind by the explosion. The fires were still roaring, and dull thuds and tumbling could be heard from time to time. This place could blow again.
Even so, reminded that Eric might still be buried under the debris sundered Kate’s heart.
“Calm down, Kate, Hendrick’s voice rang loudly. His roar managed to calm Kate a little, but she was still shivering, and her hands were icy.
“Hendrick…”
Kate’s voice was trembling, her gaze filled with the shadows of despair. “Ric will be alright, won’t he?”
Hendrick’s heart trembled, but he said without hesitation, “He will be, Kate. I’m sure of it. Now let’s just wait for the rescue team to show up. Don’t charge into danger again.”
Kate nodded almost robotically. When she tried to breathe, she noticed her body was sapped of all strength. Hendrick helped her get to a safe spot, and they waited, but she wouldn’t stop staring at the explosion site.
She knew of this disaster in her past life, but she had no idea about Eric’s injuries. Now she could do nothing but wait for someone to save him.
She tried to call Eric, but nothing went through. Kate’s heart was sinking. She stared numbly at the rubble and took a deep breath.
Where are you,
Ric!
The roar of an engine tore through the air. George and his team showed up. When they saw the explosion and the Rolls–Royce sitting inside, George’s pupils contracted.
That’s Mr. Eric’s ride, but where is he?
He looked at the crying Kate, and his heart leaped to his throat. Quickly, he approached her, “Madam, where is Mr. Eric?”
Kate looked at George weakly. “I–I have no idea…
Watching the sea of flames, George clenched his fists and turned to his group. “Save anyone you
can!”
He took out a fire extinguisher from his car and charged into the fire without hesitation. Out of instinct, Kate shot up and tried to follow, but Hendrick pulled her back.
After they barely put out a bit of fire, firetrucks and ambulances came.
