Chapter 484 Plane Crash, Something Happened to Gabriel 1
"Yes, I'm Gabriel's wife. May I ask what this is about?"
For some reason, Jessica's heart was pounding as she said this.
"Mrs. Walton, I'm very sorry to inform you that the plane Mr. Walton was on has crashed."
Jessica's eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say? Say it again."
The voice on the other end grew softer. "Mrs. Walton, please accept our condolences. We didn't expect such an accident to happen."
Jessica covered her mouth tightly, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
She had been waiting and hoping these past few days!
She had been eagerly anticipating his return.
But she never imagined that this would be the outcome.
"No, I don't believe it. You're lying to me. My husband promised me he would come back safely. He would never let anything happen to him."
But the response on the other end mercilessly shattered all her illusions.
"Mrs. Walton, if we could, we would also hope this was just a joke. But the plane has indeed crashed."
Even though the person on the other end spoke with certainty, Jessica still shook her head frantically.
She couldn't accept the fact that Gabriel had left her.
Clutching her phone tightly, Jessica, with red-rimmed eyes, responded firmly, "No matter what you say, unless I see his body with my eyes, I won't believe it."
"Mrs. Walton, according to our information, the plane crashed into the sea. The chances of survival are extremely slim, and the recovery efforts are quite challenging."
Jessica couldn't listen any longer.
She hung up the phone.
Lying on the bed, she stared blankly at the ceiling.
She wished the bad news was just a dream.
When she woke up, Gabriel would be back by her side.
He would smile, open his arms to her, gently stroke her hair, and say, "Honey, I'm back."
But that phone call was so real.
Suddenly, she thought of something. Such important news, if true, would be reported.
She took out her phone frantically. However, as soon as she opened Instagram, the news of the "plane crash" was already a trending topic, shattering all of Jessica's hopes instantly.
The following topics were all related to the plane crash.
It wasn't fake.
Everything was so real and glaring.
Gabriel, the plane he was on, had indeed crashed!
Jessica held her head, feeling as if it was about to explode, the pain radiating through her entire body.
"Gabriel."
"Honey."
She hugged herself, tears streaming down uncontrollably, calling his name over and over again.
Tina, having just finished a busy night shift, was worried about Jessica, so she came up to check on her.
But when Tina opened the door and saw Jessica hugging herself and shaking her head frantically, she immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Jessica, what's wrong?" Tina ran over.
Seeing Tina, Jessica's eyes were red, her whole body trembling violently.
Jessica opened her mouth, but no words came out.
She threw herself into Tina's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
Tina didn't know what was wrong, so she could only pat Jessica's back and comfort her, "Jessica, did something happen? Don't be sad, tell me, okay? We'll figure it out together."
Jessica, choking with sobs, looked at her, her throat sore and painful from crying.
She wanted to speak, but the pain held her back.
Seeing this, Tina quickly handed her a pen and a notebook. "If you don't want to speak, write it down."
Jessica took the notebook, her hands trembling as she wrote while tears fell onto the page.
"I just got a call. They said Gabriel's plane crashed."
"They said he's dead."
As soon as she finished writing, tears blurred the words.
Tina was stunned. She had guessed something major had happened, but she never expected it to be Gabriel's plane crash.
How could Jessica bear such news?
Tina took a warm towel, wiping Jessica's tears and gently applying it to her eyes.
"Jessica, I know you're very sad and devastated right now, but for Mr. Walton and the baby, you can't cry anymore."
"We can't just believe a phone call. We need to confirm it ourselves."
Jessica handed the news she had just received to Tina.
After reading it, Tina sighed deeply and remained silent for a long time.
"Tina," Jessica suddenly grabbed her clothes, "Do you also think there's no chance of survival? Gabriel can't be alive, right?"
Tina held her hand tightly. "Jessica, do you believe Mr. Walton is alive?"
Jessica nodded vigorously.
At that moment, her eyes were determined, and her voice was firm. "I believe."
"No matter how many people try to convince me with scientific explanations and evidence, unless I see his body with my eyes, I won't believe it."
"He promised me he would come back safely to be with me and the baby. He's broken his promises so many times, but this time he won't."
She had lost all sense of time as she cried, but eventually, Jessica felt her tears had dried up.
Tina went downstairs to tell her colleagues she had something important to attend to.
Since it was a night shift and there weren't many patients, she asked her colleagues to cover for her.
After making arrangements, Tina went back to find Jessica.
As soon as Tina opened the door, a familiar figure came into view.
It was Vincent!
Tina thought he must have heard about Gabriel's plane crash and rushed over, fearing Jessica would break down.
With Vincent's help, Jessica went to the airport that night.
The early morning was very cold.
Tina helped Jessica into the back seat while Vincent drove.
The car was silent the entire way.
No one spoke.
After about half an hour, they arrived at the airport.
As soon as they entered, Jessica felt a wave of sadness.
The airport was crowded with people.
Voices, arguments, and cries created a chaotic and noisy atmosphere.
The oppressive atmosphere,
The sorrowful cries.
Everything overwhelmed Jessica, making it hard for her to breathe.
Almost immediately, Jessica turned and ran out of the airport.
She kept running until she was far away, gasping for breath.
Tina chased after her, calling out worriedly, "Jessica?"
