Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128 Rescue_1

Ryan Wesley called Zara Jameson, "I’ve received an emergency mission. We’re heading to Spring River for the rescue operations. Zara, I will visit you later, don’t be mad..."

Zara’s heart panicked, and she gripped her phone to ask him, "Why do you have such a mission? Aren’t you at the police academy? Do you have to participate in the rescue, too?"

There was a lot of noise on the other end of the call, sounding like his dorm mates were hastily packing their bags, with various urging voices rising, and the strings of Zara’s heart wound even tighter!

"Ryan Wesley! You jerk! I’m carrying your child!" She shouted uncontrollably, having never been through something like this before.

"Zara, don’t panic. The rescue work will be done by the military, and we are going mainly to support logistics, clear roads, and escort evacuees..." Ryan paused, then continued, "Everyone is going, not just me, don’t worry, there won’t be any danger!"

Knowing he wasn’t going directly into the disaster zone, Zara relaxed a bit, but still feeling unsettled, she held the phone tight and said, "Can I be selfish for once, please? Don’t go into the disaster area, just stay on the outer perimeter to help, okay?"

Ryan agreed, and it seemed someone was hurrying him on his end, he rushed, "We’re about to depart. Zara, I’ll call you when I get there!"

Before Zara could reply, Ryan had already hung up the phone.

At the same time, Zara’s tears also fell like snapped strings.

"That Ryan Wesley, he’s too irresponsible!" Jane McCain complained for Zara, "How could he just leave you here like that? You’re carrying his child right now! The least he could do is see you before he leaves, right?"

Zara came back to herself, closed her eyes to hold back the tears, "There’s no way around it, disaster relief is a race against time, it’s excusable that he can’t come."

"Everyone, look at the news." Purple Summers held up her phone to alert them.

The online news was constantly updating—

Military districts across the country had deployed rescue teams and medical squads; the Red Cross and various private charitable organizations were collecting donations for the disaster area; students from medical schools and the police academy had also organized volunteer groups to rush to the disaster area.

Purple Summers called Alexander Summers, and the call took a long time to connect.

"The news about the earthquake..."

Before Purple could finish speaking, Alexander said, "I’ve received the news, we’re currently holding an emergency meeting here. Pearlpoint City is also starting to organize donations and volunteer groups, it’s going to be very busy the next few days. You and your friends should stay put on the island, don’t run around, take good care of yourselves, got it?"

Purple quickly responded, "I know, don’t overwork yourself!"

Among the three women on the island, two were pregnant. In such a situation, taking good care of themselves was the biggest help.

The disaster was too severe, and none of them had the heart to have fun; they all clung to their phones, constantly checking for the latest news.

Come evening, Zara, judging by the time, called Ryan Wesley, but his phone was unreachable.

Purple comforted her, "After an earthquake, it’s common not to have mobile signals. Don’t worry too much. Once the telecom technicians get there, communication will soon return to normal."

Zara nodded restlessly and murmured, "I’m okay... don’t worry about me, it’s late... get some rest..."

Purple Summers gave a look to Jane McCain, who understood, took Zara’s arm, and chattered, "This island can be spooky at night. Zara, let’s squeeze together tonight..."

Purple Summers, supporting her belly, slowly returned to her room and lay down in bed, unable to fall asleep right away.

One moment she was wondering how Alexander’s organized rescue team was progressing, another moment she worried if Ryan was facing any danger rushing to the disaster area.

Eventually, she fell asleep and had a night of chaotic dreams. The next day, she woke up to find Alexander lying next to her, and Purple immediately felt at peace.

Purple leaned over and kissed him.

Alexander, half-asleep, drew her into his arms with his eyes closed, "Stop it, let me sleep a bit longer..."
