Chapter 326 Is That Her?


    "Calvin, it''s getting dark. Where are you going? In the dining hall, Paige was shocked to hear Calvin


    ordering a helicopter to be sent to the disaster area for a rescue mission. When she thought that he


    was going along with the helicopter to the earthquake-stricken area to rescue the victims, her heart


    instantly missed a beat."


    "It was not an easy feat for a helicopter tond after being in the air. Others might not understand, but


    she understood very well that there were demandingly strict conditions for a helicopter tond. With the


    area just experiencing an earthquake, it would be impossible for him tond without using a


    parachute. Even then, it was not guaranteed that he could touch down safely. In the unlikely event that


    he was not careful, his bones might get fractured, or even worse, get caught up with the wind... She


    dared not venture into this possibility."


    "She could not let her only son take such a risk. Anxiously, she turned towards Hudson and cried out,


    ""Hudson, Calvin is going to the disaster area. You let him know that he only needs to donate more


    money. He should let the professionals do their job."""


    "Paige was panic-stricken, color draining from her face."


    "Hudson, of course, had overheard the order from Calvin. When he looked at Calvin with his deep


    eyes, thetter had already got on his electric car and hurried out."


    "After a moment of silence, he said to Paige, ""Don''t worry. He knows what he''s doing."""


    "When he made it clear that he had no objection to it, Paige hugged her head and cried."


    "Hudson stood up and looked at Calvin''s car disappearing into the distance. His ears were filled with


    Paige''s heart-wrenching sobs, and his heart was extremely heavy."


    Why would Calvin give out such an order all of a sudden? Did something happen?


    "Quickly, he walked into the living room, and soon, his eyes locked on the frozen image on the TV. He


    suddenly understood everything."


    He rubbed his eyes and nodded after looking at it carefully again.


    "More than two hourster, the helicopter arrived at the town using satellite positioning."


    "As the helicopter slowly lowered, Calvin''s heart sank with it."


    This school was too small. It was impossible tond safely with a helicopter. He could only jump down


    there himself.


    "Mr. Harvey, let''s get thedder down and secure the rope to a safe ce first. We can''t use the


    parachutes. Aron saw the sheet of grey ashes obscuring the ground. At this time, the only thing he


    could do was to further lower the helicopter and set down a thick rope down to save the victims."


    Calvin nodded.


    "Mr. Harvey, you''d better not go down. It''s too dangerous, Aron said, concerned."


    "Quit the cr*p. Hurry up and get ready. The fully-equipped Calvin looked angry, not allowing Aron to


    question his decision. Aron did not dare to speak again. As he ordered the essential items to be


    dropped off from the helicopter, he shouted at the people below with his loudspeaker."


    "Soon, the rope was released and the helicopter approached a hill. Calvin, Aron, and almost ten


    members of the strictly trained special forces approached the ground using the rope."


    "The ground was covered in grey ash, copsed buildings, piles of rubble, and the sound of crying and


    screaming deafened his ears."


    "Calvinnded on a hillside and nced around in the darkness. It was after midnight, and there was


    still a distance between the copsed school and where he stood. He immediately led Aron and the


    others to the school."


    "When they got close, several bonfires were aze on the open ground, chasing the cold air away and


    illuminating the surrounding. What they saw was really shocking."


    Only a few volunteers were there to rescue the students trapped under the rubble. There were even a


    few who were trapped so deep inside that they could not be seen and only their cries and shouts could


    be heard. The few who were buried even deeper inside might have lost their breath.


    "No matter who was crying or yelling, their voices had already be hoarse, and there was only


    sobbing left."


    The situation was too dire.


    "Aron, save them first. Seeing the ghastly scene, Calvin could not care less about finding Belle. He


    instructed his subordinates to focus on saving the students first."


    The arduous rescue work that wouldst all night ensued.


    "One after another, children were rescued from the rubble and moved to an emergency tent nearby."


    "This primary school was a school of the vigers in the vicinity of Fisher Town, and the ssrooms


    were already in ruins. Such an earthquake had almost destroyed the entire school."


    "Calvin took advantage of the downtime to take care of the injured children and survey his


    surroundings. Mountains were everywhere, and there was a small market in the middle of it. The


    school was located next to the small market. At present, there were some parents gathered in the


    ruined grounds of the school. However, they were all old, weak, sick, and disabled. They were all


    shouting their children''s names, their voiceden with cries."


    "His eyes were searching for that familiar figure, but to his surprise, it was nowhere to be found. Did he


    get the wrong ce?"


    " Reaching for his mobile phone, he checked and confirmed that this was exactly the ce."


    "Mr. Harvey, another one has just been saved. Luca''s joyful voice came from the other side."


    "Come, hand him to me. Soon, a woman dashed out of the tent next to him and stretched out her hand


    to ept the injured child."


    "Calvin took advantage of the dim light to look at her. Her face was ashen,pletely stripping him of

    any chance to make out her face at all. Only her two eyes were revealed. Though she was a young


    girl, her round face and rough figure didn''t look like his Belle at all."


    "The moment the woman took the child, she noticed that Calvin was sizing her up. There was a wave


    of bashfulness on her face. She smiled at him and ran into the tent with the child in her arms."


    "Calvin was utterly disappointed that he could not find Belle, but the situation at hand was too critical.


    He could not focus solely on searching for someone. It was a matter of life and death. The rescue work


    had to be prioritized."


    "In the tent, there were a number of children who had been rescued. Those who were missing their


    arms and legs were all groaning in pain."


    "A thin and weak woman was cleaning the wounds of the children. After the wounds were cleaned, she


    spRhysed the disinfectant on them, applied medicine, and bandaged them."


    "There were not enough people here and there was a shortage of medicine. Fortunately, Calvin had


    brought some first aid kits with him on the helicopter and promptly made use of them."


    "Miss Lewis, there are so many handsome guys outside. Fortunately, they are here and these children


    are saved. Amy looked at the woman called Miss Lewis and said, ""Especially that handsome


    leader, he''s so elegant and handsome. I''ve never seen such a handsome man in my life."""


    "Amy widened her round eyes, puffed her cheeks, and with an infatuated look on her face, she fawned


    over him."


    "The woman only replied with a faint ''hmm'' and said in a hoarse voice, ""Amy, quickly bandage the


    children''s wounds. Now there are a lot of children who are seriously injured. I''m really worried that the


    wounds will cause high fever if they get infected. There is a shortage of medicine at the moment. So,


    we have to control the situation."""


    "I know. God, if only the electricity is back and the roads are repaired. Otherwise, we''re on our own in


    here, Amy said as she busied herself. The injured children wailed from time to time,ining about


    the pain and hunger. The scene was a total chaos. "


    "This ce was remote and far away from the city. So, it was not easy to get their hands on


    reinforcements. Despite knowing that, they still clung on to hope."


    "Quick, stop the bleeding. The tent was opened, bringing with it a gust of night wind. A tall figure


    rushed in with a little girl in his arms. The little girl was obviously sensible. Her hands were bleeding,


    but she bit her lips hard. Her eyes were full of tears, but she never cried out loud."


    "Evie, you''re hurt so badly. As Amy heard Calvin''s voice, she stood up to wee him. She stretched


    out her hand to pick up Evie in his arms."


    "Bring me some disinfectant, Calvin said to Amy when he saw that there were only two women in the


    tent to tend to the many children with serious injuries. After all, Evie had just been saved from under


    the debris and was seriously injured. He was afraid that if no emergency attention was given, Evie''s


    wounds would get infected."


    "The light in the tent was dim, with only a lightbulb. Yet, since Calvin came in, the whole tent seemed to


    be lit up. Amy''s eyes were shining, her whole body buzzing with vitality. In the face of such a tall and


    handsome man, Amy couldn''t be more excited, her heart beating fast."


    "Okay, okay, she answered while holding back her excitement."


    "As she spoke, she quickly brought the disinfectant and squatted down in front of him."


    "Could you please get me some water? Calvin''s eyes caught a glimpse of the back of a thin woman


    who was crouching by the side, busying herself. His heart skipped a beat as he spoke to her."


    "This person was thin but very calm. She was busy and moved deftly, not reacting much when she


    heard his voice. Instead, she turned around and scooped up a spoonful of water. The medicinal cotton


    in her hand was also handed over to him along the water."


    "Making use of the dim light, Calvin wanted to see her face clearly, but she lowered her head. Her hair


    was tousled, covering almost half of her face. He could only see a face buried in grey ash. Her face


    was even vaguer than what he had seen on TV."


    "She offered her hand. Calvin looked down and saw that the backs of her hands were covered with


    ck calluses. He felt a little familiar with it. From the looks of it, they must have been eroded by the


    environment here!"


    "In an instant, Calvin felt an uncontroble impulse. When he received the medicinal cotton, his big


    hand almost held on the pair of small hands. However, the other party was very sensitive, as if she had


    expected him to do this. As soon as the cotton was in his hand, she immediately retreated her hand


    and went to work with her back towards him."


    "Stunned for a moment, Calvin felt a strange feeling linger in his heart. It was as if some sort of interest


    had been stirred within him."


    "At this time, the painful groans of the child in his arms became heavier and heavier, and he hurriedly


    cleaned up the wound for her, with Amy beside him to help."


    There were more and more wounded children in the tent. Only two women were busy in the tent. They


    were getting overwhelmed.


    "When Calvin finished cleaning Evie''s wound, the sun was already rising outside."


    "Mr. Harvey, we''ve already saved all those we could, but we couldn''t save every one of them. We have


    to wait until it''s morning to search again. It''s just that we don''t know when the rescue team would be


    here. We have no choice but to rely on the machinery to find those buried deeper underneath. Aron


    came in with a face full of sweat, and his expression was not optimistic. ""I think there are still many


    children trapped underground."""


    "There are a total of 132 children. 78 have already escaped, 30 have been rescued, 10 deceased


    confirmed, and the other 14 remained missing. A hoarse voice came from one side. Although the voice


    was so hoarse that no one could recognize the original sound, these numbers were very urately


    passed to him."


    Calvin and Aron both looked in her direction.


    "She was still tending to the child''s wound, her head hadn''t been raised."
