A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 521

As time went by, Reina became more anxious.

She was worried that Nina might not be able to hold on when she called for help.

Fortunately, someone responded to her soon. “How are you? Are you hurt?”

Judging by the voice, Reina felt it was her colleagues outside the motel coming to rescue them.

Therefore, Reina shouted, “Nina and I are the only ones awake. Some colleagues have died while others are now missing.”

“Got it. Hold on. We’re trying to rescue you,” said the man outside.

The next second, Reina heard someone moving stones.

As the stones were moved, dust continued to fall onto Reina. All she could do was keep her head

down and wait.

At this time, news of the Warrina earthquake had spread nationwide.

The earthquake was of a high magnitude, causing nationwide concern for the people in the affected areas. Some were already gathering essential supplies for them.

When Jonathan saw the news, he felt that his mind went blank for a while and dropped his phone on the ground.

He thought, ‘Earthquake? Why did the earthquake–hit right after she got there?‘

Jonathan felt both panicked and scared.

He picked up the phone from the ground with his trembling hands and quickly called Reina. However, no one answered.

Then he got a call from the airport. He was told that the earthquake in Warrina damaged the airport runway, so planes going there couldn’t take off.

Jonathan felt flustered.

He couldn’t reach her on the phone and couldn’t take a plane to go find her either. Suddenly, he wondered if she might have already died in this natural disaster.

Jonathan couldn’t wait any longer. Since he couldn’t get to the Warrina Airport, he bought a ticket to the next city at a high price.

After getting off the plane, he bought a car and drove to Warrina following the road sign.

road.

The road was flat at first, but the closer he got to Warrina, the more problems there were on the

He encountered numerous landslides and road breaks along the way.

Fortunately, Jonathan anticipated it so he bought an off–road vehicle, which could go on uneven

roads.

As Jonathan got closer to Warrina, he looked at the collapsing mountain and suddenly got nervous.

He could only pray in his heart over and over again for Reina’s safety.

At five o’clock the next morning, Jonathan was finally a dozen miles from Warrina.

He hadn’t slept for two nights so he was a little exhausted.

Even so, he still looked determined.

Anyway, he couldn’t give up until he found Reina.

When Jonathan was about six miles from the town, an aftershock occurred.

Although the aftershock wasn’t as powerful as the initial earthquake, it still caused everything around to start shaking.

There was another landslide nearby and Jonathan’s car was half buried in dirt because he didn’t have time to move aside.

With his view blocked, Jonathan didn’t hesitate to get out of the car.

Due to the landslide occurring on the driver’s side, the door was buried in dirt and couldn’t be pushed open. He had to get out of the car from the passenger seat and walk to Warrina.

There were only about six miles left but it was still challenging for Jonathan, who was already exhausted.

Fortunately, he bumped into a wagon loaded with chickens and ducks. The driver was a farmer living in the mountains, but due to frequent aftershocks, he had to escape for safety.

Jonathan gave all his cash to the farmer. “I have to go to the town to save my girlfriend, Sir. Can I borrow your wagon?”

The farmer was a kind man. Considering how dangerous it was, he didn’t take Jonathan’s money.

Instead, he looked at Jonathan’s expensive clothes and said, “Come on up. I’m going there right now. Sorry, my wagon is small and you may have to sit in the back,”

“It’s okay.” Jonathan looked at the poultry and their droppings in the back, and got into the wagon without hesitation.

Jonathan was surrounded by chickens and ducks as he hurried towards the town.

The closer he got to the town, the more nervous he became as he saw the debris and heard people crying.

The farmer took Jonathan to the police station shortly before noon. When Jonathan jumped off the wagon, he looked disheveled and exhausted, no longer in high spirits as he usually was.

Many survivors and the wounded were staying here and there were volunteers helping them.

Jonathan hurriedly found a man in uniform and asked in a trembling voice, “Excuse me, where is police officer Reina who just came here yesterday?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Jonathan didn’t notice that he looked extremely nervous. He was afraid of being told bad news.

“She and her colleagues went to the border early in the morning to get the suspects, but we haven’t received any updates. After saying that, the police officer went to take care of the wounded.

Although Reina’s whereabouts were still unknown, Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief.

After telling them he was Reina’s boyfriend, he borrowed a motorcycle from the police station and went to look for her.

He saw nothing but ruins on the road. The sky was gray, and everyone he met seemed miserable. Survivors were working hard to rescue those buried under the debris.

Jonathan told himself not to think too much. He believed that his lovely girl would be safe.

He kept stepping on the gas all the way and finally reached the destination quickly.

At this time, many policemen were struggling to move stones. Jonathan pulled over and began anxiously searching for Reina.

However, after looking around, he didn’t find her.

Suddenly, he felt himself being overwhelmed by fear.

He grabbed one of them by the shoulder in a panic and asked with bloodshot eyes, “Where is Reina? Is she okay?”

The man was confused for a moment, but then he came to his senses and pointed at the ruins. “She’s down there.”

The man spent the entire night moving stones and discovered the bodies of many of his colleagues. He was so devastated that he didn’t want to talk much about it.

Jonathan was startled by what he said and began to feel desperate.

He burst into tears in an instant. “Don’t leave me, Reina. We haven’t got married yet. How can you leave me?”

Jonathan shouted in a choked voice as he dug into the debris.

Reina, who was exhausted from being buried under the debris for a long time, thought that she was having an illusion when she heard Jonathan’s voice.

She thought, ‘It’s only been a day since the earthquake. There’s no way he could get here so quickly.’

Just as she was holding a negative thought, she heard more noises outside. “Give me a second, Reina. I’m going to get you out of here.”

Only then did Reina know for sure that it was Jonathan outside.
