Everything happened too quickly. The copse behind them was like a devil that followed them closely.
Just as Ethan ran out, he saw an employee, scared and supporting himself at the edge of the hole,
panting. He had just been. knocked down by the chaotic crowd. Now, hearing the rumbling behind him,
he was terrified.
“Run!” Ethan grabbed him and pulled him forward, but the employee was too shocked to move his
leaden legs. Ethan had no choice but to lift him up and sprint ahead. His bodyguard also came to help.
As if they were running away from death itself, Ethan and the bodyguard carried the engineer and
dashed through the passage with intense falling rocks.
The main group ahead had already reached a stable area. The rescue team captain urged everyone to
leave at once while he stayed behind to cover their retreat. When he looked back and saw the
bodyguard carrying two people, he shouted, “Where is Mr. Quarles? Is he still inside?”
The entrance was still shaking, with debris constantly falling. If someone was inside, they would likely
be buried alive. “Mr. Ethan!” The four bodyguards put down the people they were carrying and ran
toward the entrance.
“Come back!” The rescue team captain immediately stopped them. “Going in there would be suicide.”
“But Mr. Ethan and myrades are still inside!” one bodyguard roared worriedly. At this moment, their
sense of duty and their bond with theirrades pushed them to defy life and death.
Fortunately, the sound of footsteps came from inside the tunnel, and they saw someone rushing out
amidst the falling rocks. It was a bodyguard carrying a young man. Their heads were injured to varying
degrees. “Where is Mr. Ethan?”
“He’s behind. Deo is injured, and Mr. Ethan is supporting him!” The bloodied bodyguard with a broken
head was still shaken. The rescue team captain also caught his breath. He had been given the order to
prioritize Ethan’s rescue. However, his target was still trapped inside the tunnel right then while
everyone else hade out safely..
Just then, footsteps were heard again, and everyone’s hearts tightened. It was Ethan! He appeared,
supporting a bodyguard whose head and face were bleeding. He was covered in dirt, with bloodstains
on his forehead. However, everyone heard a sound.
It was a terrifying noise from the depths of the tunnel. Ethan had never felt despair in his life, but when
he heard that sound, despair instantly spread through his chest.
Boom! The tunnelpletely copsed behind them, with huge rocks falling. Fortunately, just when
Ethan felt hopeless, several hands appeared to take over the bodyguard from his hands. But just as he
reached out, a stone fell from above, and darkness enveloped his vision. He dropped to the ground.
Mother, Father, Josephine, I’m sorry! It was Ethan’sst thought before sinking into darkness. “Mr.
Ethan…”
The sky was already bright when the rescue team emerged, and several rescue vehicles were parked
nearby, receiving the injured. Suddenly, an urgent voice rang across the space. “Emergency,
emergency!”
Four people were seen carrying a stretcher and rushing toward an ambnce. After opening the back
door, the doctors waiting inside gasped with shock when they saw the person being brought in. Good
Lord! How could it be Mr. Quarles? Why is he unconscious?
“Quick, save him.” The medical staff immediately began dressing the head wound and cleaning the
severe. abrasions on Ethan’s body inside the vehicle.
The rescue mission came to an end as the vehicles headed toward the base. Everyone returned to the
base, exhausted, and rested. The crisis was finally over.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Ethan was being brought to the medical room when Edward received the news, and thetter rushed
over with his subordinates but was impeded by the emergency room door..
“Ethan, Ethan!’ Edward turned pale with fear, his voice trembling. “Where is Ethan injured? How could it
be so serious? Wasn’t he unharmed?” Edward turned. to the bodyguards. Despite also being injured,
they were more concerned about the safety of their young master.
“Mr. Ethan was injured while saving us. When we were escaping, he was hit by a stone and lost
consciousness on the spot, the bodyguard replied.
“What?” Edward staggered, and his vision. blurred for a moment. He had a hard time epting the
fact. The emergency room was still lit. Under the operating lights, the wound at the back of Ethan’s
head was being cleaned and stitched. up. His hair was shaved off, and his handsome face looked pale
after the blood was cleaned off.
Meanwhile, in Ethan’s room, Josephine, who had stayed awake untilte at night out of worry, was
awakened by the light outside the window. She checked the time. Seeing it was 6.30AM, she quickly
got up, changed her clothes, and came out. She felt a sense of urgency in the corridors and couldn’t
help but grab an employee and ask, “Has the rescue team returned?”
