Chapter 611: He Is Repentant, Afraid That Something Will Happen to Her
Chapter 611: He Is Repentant, Afraid That Something Will Happen to Her
Ryan holds the walkie-talkie in his hand. Cold sweat breaks out on his palm. He has no idea what is happening there. He doesn't hear Dalton's voice anymore but the hurried footsteps.
Half a minute later, people staying in the van with Ryan look at each other, but no one dares to speak.
Time slowly passes. Ryan has never sweated so much before, as if he has just been pulled out of the water. His throat seems to be clenched tightly by a pair of hands, and it is difficult for him to breathe.
He wants to ask what happens, but fear chokes his words.
A bad premonition seizes him, and he doesn't even have the courage to ask.
After a long time, the captain's voice finally comes from the other side. It is hoarse, anxious, and frustrating....
"Dalton and Eunice fall off the cliff. Have the rescue team come up immediately! Scour for them at the foot of the mountain!"
Hearing this, Ryan seems to have been fixed to the spot. He feels too limp to hold the interphone, which then falls to the ground, as if all his muscles disintegrate in an instant.
Ryan's mind goes blank and he can no longer hear anything. He cannot believe what he has heard. The thing that he has been worried about for two days still happens. What he doesn't dare to imagine takes place.
How does it feel?
Ryan is unable to describe it. He feels his blood surges into his throat. For 30 years, this is the first time that he is so confused, at a loss what to do.
The police officer beside Ryan is afraid that something will go wrong with Ryan, so he comforts Ryan in a trembling voice, "Mr. Ryan, this mountain isn't high, and Dalton hasn't climbed to the top. Even if Eunice falls down, she may not be in trouble. We've already arranged some policemen to look for her...."
Ryan closes his eyes tightly and opens them a few seconds later. He tightly clenches his hands on his knees. Eunice hasn't been found, so he must not give up.
Eunice said before that she left with Dalton's people in order not to make Ryan sad. However, Ryan understands now that if something bad happens to Eunice, he will be more painful than ever.
...
As all the police is searching the place where Eunice falls, Ryan applies to join in the operation. The captain knows that Ryan has been pushed to the limit. Moreover, it is not uncommon for hostages' family to get involved. Thus, the captain asks two police officers to protect Ryan.
Ryan and his group members search from below. After taking a look at the steep hillside, which is covered by a lot of vegetation, Ryan becomes anxious and worried uncontrollably.
Eunice falls down from above. There are so many stones and branches. Even the slightest impact can cause fatal damage.... Ryan looks away and has no guts to think further.
The search continues for a long time. From the foot of the mountain to the cliff, there are a total of three teams. Ryan is on the top, the area closest to the cliff.
The hillside is very steep. Ryan has to hold tree branches and thus stands still barely. With bloodshot and sharp eyes, he examines every inch of the ground. Every time he sees a blurry black shadow, he can't help but be excited. Then he will be disappointed after finding that it is not Eunice.
An hour has passed. Finally, a police officer hurriedly walks over and says, "There is blood over there!" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
No sooner does the policeman finish than Ryan walks forward in the direction which the officer points at. Ryan follows the dark red blood under his feet and moves forward bit by bit in fear, as if he were stepping on the tip of a knife.
The closer he gets, the more frightened he becomes. He's afraid that he will sight a lifeless corpse ahead.
Ryan, who is in the front, suddenly stops. The people behind him are forced to stop. After a few seconds, Ryan turns around to instruct the doctor coming along, "Go."
The police doctor is surprised. He then immediately passed by Ryan and walks over. Nearly ten meters away, the doctor stops beside the ground that is dyed red with blood. He squats down, looking at the face that is almost covered in blood and mud. The girl's clothes are torn, revealing her shoulders and waist. What's more terrifying is that blood is still oozing out from the back of her head.
It is almost impossible for a person to have any signs of life with such a tragic appearance. However, the doctor still holds the last glimmer of hope and opens Eunice's eyes....
"She is moving!" Seeing that Eunice's eyes are weakly rolling, and her pupils are not dull, the doctor stands up excitedly and shouts at the group of people behind him, "She is still alive!"
Ryan takes a load off his mind, feeling that he can finally catch his breath. He rushes to that pitiful and badly injured woman, who is covered with wounds. If Eunice didn't wear those familiar clothes, Ryan wouldn't be able to recognize her.
Ryan wants to touch her, but he is afraid. His large hands stop in the air.
"Mr. Ryan, we need to carry her away." The doctor cannot bear to watch any longer and whispers. The police behind them have already carried over a white stretcher.
Ryan leans sideways and watches them carefully lift Eunice up. In just a few seconds, the white stretcher is stained with the color of fresh blood.
The wound on the back of her head is very serious, and the amount of bleeding is frightening, as if her blood will drain at any time.
Ryan opens his mouth. He wants to say something, but he loses his voice. He follows closely behind. He has never walked with such an anxious step. If he weren't supported, he would fall for several times.
In a sorry state, he is tortured by panic and anxiety because of Eunice, whose life is at stake.
Eunice was fine two days ago. Even though she was unhappy about his picking her up at school, she looked so energetic when she was angry. How does she become like this in the blink of an eye?
What's worse is that even though such things happen to Eunice, Ryan's intelligence, abilities, and power are of no use.
Ryan is a capitalist. Money means everything, for it can change everything and help him get everything. But something exceptional happens. Ryan cannot achieve his goal with his money.
Ryan follows the paramedics into the ambulance. The red and blue light turns on, and an ear-piercing alarm sounds. The car drives towards the nearby hospital as fast as it can.
Eunice's wounds have been treated simply. Against the thick bandages, the bright red can still be seen. Holding Eunice's cold hand, Ryan looks at her deathly pale face. Arrogant as he is, he regards life as
unimportant. He has never regretted anything. But at this moment, his eyes turn red as he whispers, "I'm sorry."
