Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 621

Benedict greeted the two of them personally. They were from the Four Greatest Households, so he had to show them some respect.

"Mr. Lawson, what's going on over there?" Cecil asked in a hurry.

"They're the backup to the team already there, so there is no problem for the time being," Benedict explained. He was also worried about the staff members from the hospital.

Alexander frowned. "I heard that there will be aftershocks. Are there any preparations being made?"

"Such matters have to be judged according to the real-time situation. I believe that they will be prepared as well," Benedict replied in a deep voice. He had already contacted the officials of the other side and had already done what he had to do.

As for the magnitude of the earthquake, he had no idea about it.

Cecil was really anxious. When would Everleigh ever learn from her past?

Although it was about saving lives, she did not need to rush forward with everything.

They knew that there was no use being worried. If possible, they really wanted to go and have a look.

At this point in time, Theodore had already reached his destination. The old tall buildings had turned into ruins and the road in front of him had also collapsed. There was no way for the car to get past the area. He got out of the car and headed towards the place where Everleigh was.

She was exhausted. She had overworked her right hand so it kept shaking.

She couldn't even hold a spoon when she was eating.

Erine and Christopher were both stunned when they saw her. "Can you still eat like that?"

"I can't lift my left hand anymore," Everleigh said weakly. She was afraid that if she went on like this, her hand would become disabled.

Just as she was trying to scoop up the food, the food in front of her was gone. She saw Theodore's gloomy face the moment she raised her head.

Everleigh found it hard to believe. Could it be that she was seeing something else? Why was he here?

"Do you see this person?" She turned around and asked Erine. She seriously suspected that she was light-headed because of the hunger.

Erine couldn't hold back her laughter, and the food burst out of her mouth onto Everleigh's face. "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it in."

Christopher took out a tissue and handed it to Erine, asking her to wipe it.

Theodore snatched the tissue from Erine's hand and crouched down to wipe Everleigh's face.

She realized that she wasn't hallucinating.

"Theodore, how did you get here? Didn't the road up ahead collapse?"

He looked into those shocked eyes and her face that was filled with fatigue. His heart skipped a beat. "It's only been a day, yet you're already so tired?" "The situation is quite serious, so it's a little tiring," she explained, but she was very happy. She didn't expect that he would come see her here.

Christopher and Erine were very sensible and they went outside to eat.

Theodore took her spoon and fed her.

"I finished my work last night and came to replace you early in the morning. As for the road that collapsed, I had no choice but to walk here." He continued to feed her while he told her how he had gotten here. Her eyes suddenly widened when she heard that

he made the journey on foot.

"It's more than ten miles away. Did you just walk the whole way?"

He listened to her surprised tone and nodded. He wanted to see her and he was also very worried about her safety. No matter how far away she was, he wanted to stay by her side. Even if an accident occurred, he wanted to be with her.

How could she not understand what he was thinking? It was also because of this that she felt guilty.

"If it was up to me, I wish you never came. It's very dangerous here. Anything could happen at any time," she said in a low voice, with worry in her eyes.

He pursed his lips and raised his head. His eyes were filled with endless worry as he said in a cold voice, "Then do you know that I'm also worried about you? Why did I come looking for you then? I just don't want to let my imagination run wild at home."

When Everleigh heard this, she would be lying if she was not moved by his words. It was said that we could only know if our loved ones cared for us when we faced danger. He had proved it. With Theodore's words, she was already very satisfied.

"Thank you."

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. "Eat a little more. I'll sign up as a volunteer later."

She knew that he had made up his mind and wouldn't change it, so she didn't insist.

The two of them had just finished their meal when they felt a swaying sensation.

"Hurry outside and take a look." They walked out as the earth shook. Following that, they saw the destroyed area in front of them begin to shake once again.

The scene was a mess. The medical staff carried the wounded out of the place, while Theodore and Everleigh carried the wounded to a safe location.

It was not until they had moved to a safe place that they noticed that the resting area had also collapsed.

Everyone stood nearby as they watched the scene in front of them. No one spoke. No one was at fault during these natural disasters.

"Well, let's sort it out first and wait for the rescue team to see if there are any other casualties," someone shouted.

They all looked away and turned to deal with the injured who had not been treated yet.

The doctors were all busy with the surgery.

Theodore, on the other hand, helped to transport the casualties over and arrange a place for them to get treated. All of their things had been buried underground so they could only reorganize the mess. In the evening, the space had been set up for the patients to rest. The medical staff could only sit outside and wait for the supplies to be delivered. They were all very tired, so they rested by leaning against each other. As a result, everyone gathered in one place.

Everleigh leaned against Theodore. Although she was very tired, she felt at ease for some reason. It turned out that it was really different to have someone with her.

"Rest if you're tired. I'm sure the government will send more people over very soon," he said in a hoarse voice.

She saw that his face was covered with dust, which was completely different from his previous indifferent appearance. "You've suffered a lot with me."

"I don't think so," he replied in a low voice. He didn't feel that he was suffering at all. On the contrary, if he hadn't been here, he wouldn't have known that her job was so dangerous.

She chuckled. She didn't believe that. Fortunately, it was only a false alarm so everyone was safe.

"What are you two whispering about?" Christopher took Erine to a seat on the side. Although his voice sounded lively, the tiredness on his face could not be concealed.

Erine laid on the ground directly. She had never felt so exhausted in her life.

"Erine, what's wrong with you?" Everleigh asked with concern after she noticed that she looked a little strange.

Erine shook her head. "I'm just too tired. I've received outdoor training abroad before, but it's not as bad as today."

"You've learned a lot this time, haven't you?" Everleigh breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but also knew that it was a little too much.

However, that was how it was during disasters. There was no such thing as fatigue, and saving lives was their duty.

Christopher turned around and held Erine's head to let her lean against his body so that she could rest more comfortably.
