Chapter 183 Dr. Kyte Is a Good Person
Dermot rarely came back early, planning to lie in bed and rest, but he felt a sense of heart palpitations and uneasiness, as if something had happened. He took out his phone, intending to call Evelyn, but remembered that Todd had said there was no signal in the village where Evelyn went, so the call would not go through. He got up from the bed and walked towards the balcony, feeling restless. Ring-ring-ring, the phone rang loudly, and Dermot returned to the room and answered the call. "Mr. Doyle, just received news that a major earthquake has occurred in Everwood, and Ms. Kyte is in Willowbrook, one of the epicenters. We have lost contact with them." Todd's voice sounded urgent on the other end of the phone. Earthquake? Dermot's face turned pale, forcing to stay calm. 'Arrange a helicopter, prepare medicine and...'
"Emergency supplies, fly over."
"Okay."
The phone hung up, and Dermot's heart was still pounding, understanding where the inexplicable unease came from.
At the airport, Dermot boarded the plane.
When Todd wanted to follow, he heard the man say, "You don't need to come along, go to Boulder, prepare the emergency supplies, take the satellite phone, and wait for my notification."
"Mr. Doyle, but your safety..."
"That's enough." Dermot didn't give him a chance to speak. "No need to say anything to my grandfather."
After finishing speaking, Dermot notified the pilot to take off, and Todd could only obey, watching the plane go away, praying for the safe return of his CEO and Evelyn.
Willowbrook.
The strong earthquake ended, aftershocks continued, but Evelyn didn't stay in place.
"Village chief, count the number of people in the village and see if everyone is here," Evelyn said.
Evelyn didn't know the magnitude of tonight's earthquake, but she could be certain it was not small. In this situation, if they couldn't escape from their houses, the situation would be critical, and they needed to proceed with the rescue when possible.
The village chief led a group of people to count the number of villagers and returned to Evelyn's side. "There are a total of 3,520 people in the village, but only 2,500 are here. There are still 1,020 missing."
"Over a thousand people?" Evelyn was shocked, how could there be so many people who haven't escaped?
"Yeah, Willowbrook is quite large, and some villagers live halfway up the mountain. The earthquake happened too, and they couldn't make it here in time." The village chief sighed.
Evelyn looked at the collapsed houses in the distance and made a decision in her heart. "We must start the search and rescue."
"You organize the young and strong villagers to search each household. I will go to the clinic to get first aid supplies and try to find everyone."
Although they all knew it was impossible, they still had to try, just in case.
The village chief "Dr. Kyte, you don't need to go. I'll send someone to get the medicine from the clinic. You came from the city, please don't get into trouble here."
"At a time like this, you don't need to say these things." Evelyn shook her head. "We have limited manpower. Leave the women to take care of the children and elderly, and send everyone else out to search."
"But you must be cautious of the dangers. Aftershocks can happen anytime. Try to rescue more people under safe conditions."
The village chief looked at Evelyn, his heart complicated. "Okay, you must take care of yourself."
"You too." Evelyn ran towards the direction of the clinic.
The village chief watched her figure disappear into the darkness and couldn't help but tear up. "Dr. Kyte is a good person."
