After saying this, Cora left Jane’s office.
When she got on the bus to Clamville in the afternoon, she sent a message to Byron: [You don’t need to come to me tonight.]
Byron’s reply came quickly: [Did you find anyone to cuckold me?]
Looking at his reply, Cora suddenly remembered that before he left this morning, he warned her not to find someone cuckold him.
She took a picture of the people on the bus and sent it to Byron: [I found a bus of people.]
When Byron saw the photo, he quickly replied: [Where are you going?]
Cora replied: [I’m going to support Clamville, and I don’t know when I will come back. If you can’t bear the loneliness during this time, you can find other women. But let me tell you in advance, and I am not a garbage station.]
Not long after the message was sent, Byron called her directly.
Cora hesitated for a moment but still answered the phone.
She didn’t know what to say. After all, they seldom talked on the phone.
When she put the phone to her ear, she heard Byron’s cold voice.
“Are you crazy? The rain in Clamville is still heavy, and there may be another flood or mudslide!”
Cora was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect Byron to be so excited.
After calming down, she said,
“I know, but I have no choice.”
She didn’t want anything to happen to herself, but the pressure of life was about to overwhelm her.
“What do you mean?”
Byron quickly understood her implication.
Cora said,
“I was forced by the hospital, and if I don’t go, it will affect my internship assessment.”
Maybe she relied too much on Byron during this period of time, and now hearing his voice, she wanted to cry.
Afraid that he would notice her sad emotion, Cora hurriedly said,
“I’m leaving. I’ll contact you when I have time.”
Then, she took the initiative to hang up the phone.
In the president’s office in the Hansen Group.
After Byron put down the phone, Carter pushed the door in to submit several important documents.
“Is Miss Lane going to support Clamville? She is so kind!”
Carter said.
“Have the supplies donated before been sent to Clamville?”
Byron ignored Carter’s praise and asked.
He was checking the weather forecast in Clamville.
When he saw that there would be torrential rain in Clamville tonight, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Not yet,”
Carter said.
“Send additional supplies worth three million dollars from my account and deliver them together there tonight,”
Byron said.
“There is torrential rain in Clamville tonight, and I’m afraid it will be a bit difficult,”
Carter said. In that kind of weather, spending money to find someone to deliver supplies would be difficult.
Unexpectedly, Byron said,
“Why don’t you go there yourself?”
Carter said,
“I think it’s better for you to go there. Miss Lane will be moved.”
Byron said,
“I don’t need her to be moved. You go.”
Carter was speechless.
He wanted to quit now!
The support team from the First Hospital arrived in Clamville in the evening.
It was raining heavily at that time, and they put on rain boots, raincoats, and hard hats when they got out of the car. Then they treated some injured residents in a temporary tent built locally.
At the nearby excavation site, the rescue team was still working, hoping to save more people.
In addition to disinfecting and suturing the wounds of the residents in the tent, Cora also went to the excavation site to help rescue the newly excavated injuries.
At this time, the rain continued to intensify, and a landslide occurred at the intersection from the temporary rescue camp, blocking the only passage to and from Clamville.
“According to the current situation, if the mud and rocks at the intersection are not cleared in time, a barrier lake will form here, and everyone at this rescue point will suffer.”
“We have to try to clear a gap in the landslide before the barrier lake is formed!”
Under the call of the leaders of the rescue team, almost all local residents, doctors, and nurses took up shovels and cooperated with machines to clean up landslide debris.
Cora had never done such a job, but she tried her best to hold the shovel and work. If she died here, no one would take care of her mother.
Her brother was about to be released from prison, and she was looking forward to being reunited with him.
Cora thought of Byron…
To be honest, she was worried that he couldn’t bear the loneliness and went to find other women.
Before leaving, she didn’t take a good look at his face.
Therefore, Cora didn’t want to die, and she couldn’t die.
Byron was about to go home after finishing the meeting in the Hansen Group.
But the moment he touched the steering wheel, he suddenly thought that Cora had gone to Clamville.
After hesitating for a moment, he checked the weather forecast in Clamville, only to find that the rainstorm warning signal there was the highest level.
A car happened to be approaching, and the headlights of the car shone into Byron’s car. Byron’s eyes were deep and cold.
Cora and others were still working hard to cooperate with the machine to dig out a channel.
However, the only excavator on site broke down during the high-intensity operation.
When the driver announced that the excavator was malfunctioning, everyone almost collapsed.
“Fix the machine! I don’t want to die in this place at all. I promised my mother that I would go home for dinner next weekend,”
one person said.
Other people started to complain one after another.
“I don’t want to die either. My girlfriend is still waiting for me to go back and get married.”
“Fix the machine! I promised my daughter that I would take her to the playground and take photos with her,”
the head nurse said.
She participated in the rescue work actively, but at this time, she threw herself at the driver of the excavator almost heartbreakingly.
In Cora’s impression, the head nurse looked calm, and she always regarded her work as life, so it was not surprising that she would join the rescue team.
However, when she realized that she might die here, she still thought of her family, her young daughter, and the agreement between them.
Cora understood her feelings. Although she was a nurse, she was also a human being. She was someone’s daughter, wife, and mother. She hoped that the injured in the disaster area could be rescued, but she also hoped to spend her life with her family.
When the rescue team captain announced that they needed to deploy another person to fix the excavator, many people burst into tears.
There were also people like Cora who worked hard with the shovel with all their strength.
Cora knew that it was impossible to clear the channel in a short time with her own strength, so she waved the shovel and called on others to join.
She said,
“If you don’t want to die, let’s work together. It’s useless to cry!”
Under the heavy rain, Cora didn’t know if she cried or not. Her whole face was wet, but she gritted her teeth and continued to work with the shovel because she didn’t want to die.
She wanted to be reunited with her mother and brother, and she also wanted to see Byron again.
Her voice was soft and weak, but the way she swung the shovel vigorously seemed to bring hope to other people.
The head nurse was the first to respond to Cora. She said,
“Yes, instead of crying, it’s better to work together! With the strength of so many of us, I believe we can dig out a passage before the barrier lake is formed.”
“That’s it. Let’s work together! Without the machine, we can fight for the chance to survive ourselves.”
More and more people joined the action.
However, the rain continued to intensify, and their strengths and beliefs were gradually worn down in the heavy rain.
When they doubted again whether they should continue working with their own strength, there was a sudden noise from the other side blocked by the mudslide.
“It’s the sound of a bulldozer!”
“And an excavator!”
Besides the sound of these machines, there was the voice of someone on the other side with a loudspeaker.
“People behind, get out of the way now. The bulldozer is coming in.”
At that moment, everyone’s eyes lit up.
