My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) -
Chapter 890
Chapter 890 Do Not Bother Us
Fae started putting some of the clothes and food from the house into a huge suitcase.
She then looked at Charlotte and said, "Let's go. I'll go with you. You're right. Sitting at home is not a solution. I'm the mayor's wife, and I should be helping out the people in that disaster."
Charlotte felt a warm current flowing through her heart when she heard that.
Fae sent a WhatsApp message to an "only wives" group that read: I'll be going to the affected area. If any of you have anything to donate, you can pass them to me. I'll be keeping in touch with the officers. They'll send the supplies over every day.
What Fae said attracted everyone's attention, and the people in the group started responding positively.
In less than half an hour, there were already many supplies at the door of the Field residence.
They were loaded onto a huge black truck before being sent to Xanfield.
The journey there was hard due to the heavy rain, and both Fae and Charlotte had been dialing Joseph's, Ashlyn's, and everyone's numbers on the way there, but to no avail.
Their calls would not get through, and Fae's heart slowly sank.
She kept having a bad feeling about it.
The truck finally got closer to Xanfield three hours later.
They stopped and rested for a moment at a rest stop along the highway before continuing their journey to Xanfield.
Another hour passed, and the rain was only getting bigger. After they exited the highway, the condition of the roads was getting worse.
The entire town was in ruins after the earthquake. The roads were rocky, and there were rubbles everywhere.
It was already evening when they arrived in the severely affected area in Xanfield. After Fae and Charlotte got off the truck, they changed into their rain boots and walked forward. James was sitting in the tent, having a discussion with the village chief and the policemen.
Fae lifted the flap and peeped into the tent, and through the slit, she saw how haggard James was. It had only been a few days, but strands of his hair had already turned white. His face looked pale, his cheeks looked sunken, and there were also stubbles on his chin.
It seemed that James hadn't rested for a few days, and Fae felt her heart ache when she saw that.
She slowly put down the flap and sighed before she stepped away.
"Mum, why didn't you go in?" Charlotte asked Fae in a low tone when she saw that.
"I don't want to interrupt them." Fae just smiled without saying anything more.
Charlotte looked around the area and walked out. "I'm going to take a look."
"Don't wander off, Lottie. It's dangerous out there." Fae immediately stepped forward and grabbed Charlotte's arm. "Don't make me worry."
"I just want to take a look at the emergency medical center to see if I can help with anything. I won't wander off," Charlotte replied with the raincoat on her.
With that, she stepped out into the rain. The road filled with mud was hard to walk on especially after heavy rains.
She stumbled her way to the tent of the emergency medical center, and she saw how busy every one of the medical staff in the tent was.
Charlotte gritted her teeth and walked toward a male doctor who looked much older. "I'm Ashlyn's little sister, and I'm here to help. Is that all right?"
"You study medicine?" The doctor was bandaging a patient while looking at Charlotte. "Are you certified as a doctor?"
Charlotte shook her head, and she heard the doctor ask again, "Then are you certified as a nurse?"
Again, she shook her head.
"Don't bother us, then! Stand at the side." He finished bandaging an injured villager and yelled, "Take him away! Next!"
Charlotte bit her lip when she heard that. Right then, she saw two villagers walking in. Both the women seemed to be in their thirties.
Charlotte lowered her body and helped the villagers carry the injured man away to a straw mat on the ground not far from them. That would be the injured man's temporary sick bed.
She didn't know nursing or medicine, so for the past two hours, she had been helping the female villagers carry the patients to their resting spots.
