Stuck in you
Chapter 94 Back To Save Rachel (Part Two)
Even the cook stood stunned with stark fear written all over his face. "Don't talk nonsense. If the explosion happened in the kitchen, do you think I could still stand here?
Where did the explosion come from?"
Feeling confused, people started whispering among each other and were immersed in a heated discussion.
But not everyone seemed so chatty. There were some who were so consumed by fear that words wouldn't come out of them. Rick and Marcus were two such people.
After calling the police, Rick had to count the number of people present.
He checked all the way from left to right to ensure no one was missing. Only after he was somewhat convinced that everyone was present, he let out a sigh of relief.
Moreover, he was glad he had received the guests in person when they arrived. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known who left the villa and who didn't.
If someone got hurt here today, the Hawk Pharmaceutical Company and the cooperation case would surely be in vain.
Somebody was sinister enough to have done this.
The enemy had planned this with an intention of making him a laughingstock. Or perhaps he had a different goal. A goal to have him killed! Such thoughts spiraled inside Rick's head.
His mind wouldn't be put to rest. Relying on his height, he stood on one side of the flower bed and looked around to check if there was anyone missing.
'Hope everything will be fine,' he thought with a tinge of panic.
He then went to Marcus and apologized, "I'm sorry for what happened..."
But before he could finish, he saw Celine and got startled.
He looked around but couldn't spot either Jack or his wife. Anxiously, he asked, "Where's Mr. and Mrs. Fu? Also, where is Mr. Du?"
'We left the villa together. How could they disappear in the blink of an eye?' he wondered.
Wearing a brooding face, Marcus replied, "Rachel is still in the villa. To search for her, Jack and Michael went back in."
"What?!" Hearing that, Rick's face changed instantly. He was overcome by fear. Helplessly, his fear-stricken face glanced at the burning villa. He wondered if there were bombs inside. It was too dangerous for anyone to be inside.
And Rachel... 'She hasn't come out?'
He opened his mouth but was in no position to speak. Under the dire situation, he had one comfort. "The policemen and firefighters are on their way... They will sort it out. They will bring the three of them back," he said, but sounding very unconvinced. He was trying to cling onto the last ray of hope.
He still wanted add something but decided otherwise. The truth was, he wanted to go inside and check if they were okay. He wanted to be the brave hero who would save them. But he didn't have the courage to do it.
