Chapter 534 Ignoring the Danger
When Stuart had arranged some matters and looked back, he found that Kathy was missing.
They had come with an entire team, all experienced in rescue operations.
Stuart contacted the local rescue teams and had already been approved to enter the heavily affected area.
But at this moment, Kathy was missing.
A rescue team member said, "She went in! I saw her with some credentials, said something to the people, and they let her in!"
Upon hearing this, Stuart immediately got angry, "Why didn't you keep an eye on her! It's so dangerous for her to go in at this time!"
Aftershocks could happen at any time, and the previously unstable buildings also had the risk of collapsing again.
After all, they were not his own people, so Stuart couldn't say much more and had to say, "Once inside, rescue while keeping an eye on Kathy's whereabouts. Inform me immediately if you see her!"
Stuart found someone to keep an eye on Ulysses.
Ulysses didn't expect to be stopped by Stuart.
He got anxious, "Uncle Stuart! What do you mean? I need to find my dad!"
Stuart was directly restrained by someone restrained him, otherwise, he couldn't be stopped.
He said, "You wait here, I will bring your dad back safely."
"I want to go!" Ulysses' eyes were red. "Let me go! He's my dad! I need to go in and find him!"
"You know he's your dad? You are his only son." Stuart looked at him, "So, you need to be well. Think about your grandma and Aunt Josephine, wait here, understand?"
If it weren't for the fear that Ulysses staying at home would affect Josephine, and also fearing that Nicole would find out, Stuart wouldn't have brought him along.
Even bringing him along, it was impossible to let him into dangerous places.
He was Gerald's son, and if something happened to Gerald, he would be Gerald's only remaining descendant.
So, he couldn't afford any mistakes.
Ulysses was in tears, "No, let me go, I need to find my dad!"
Stuart didn't even look at him.
He had already lost one Kathy; now he couldn't let Ulysses go.
"Keep a close watch on him, don't let him out of your sight for even a minute!" He instructed the two people, then left with the others.
The severely affected area was in ruins, and the situation was worse than Stuart had imagined.
He wore the same camouflage work clothes as the rescue team members, carrying professional tools, and began the search and rescue.
Before this, everyone thought Stuart was a noble and an indifferent, rich second generation.
But now, he put his own safety aside, carefully and seriously conducting the search and rescue, looking even more handsome.
Stuart's interests and hobbies were very broad.
In the five years Josephine was away, he even became obsessed with bungee jumping, skiing, and rock climbing, even going to some very risky places to engage in extreme sports.
Over the years, he naturally accumulated a lot of rescue knowledge.
Moreover, he had stayed at a military base before, so he knew a lot of first aid measures.
The rescue team initially thought he only had the attitude, until they saw him personally jump into the ruins, rescue a child, and before the medical team arrived, he skillfully bandaged and stabilized the child.
At this moment, these people were genuinely convinced by him.
Such a man, handsome and wealthy, yet willing to risk his life to save others, really left no room for criticism.
Although they came to help with the rescue, their most important task was still to find Gerald and Kathy.
Stuart didn't want to find Gerald only to tell him that he lost Kathy.
Gerald would go crazy, right?
But after a whole morning of rescue work, there was still no news of Gerald.
Instead, many bodies were dug out at the scene.
The entire ruins were filled with the sound of many people crying.
At this time, Kathy was also looking for Gerald.
She showed her credentials to the staff and got in smoothly.
She knew that Stuart would have someone watch her, and although he agreed to let her come to the disaster area, he wouldn't let her go to dangerous places.
But at this moment, how could she be at ease waiting in the hotel?
She called out Gerald's name, walking step by step through the ruins with difficulty.
After searching for so long, she also asked about many things.
Gerald and his team were indeed in the collapsed building for a meeting.
But some of the personnel had gone to the factory to handle matters at that time.
It was just unknown who would be so lucky.
Communication had not yet been restored, and all information was unknown, who went to the factory, who was in the collapsed place for the meeting, was also unknown.
Kathy firmly believed that Gerald was not in life-threatening danger; she anxiously searched for Gerald's figure.
When she came in, she took a first aid kit.
She bandaged the injured elderly, pulled out women buried under the ruins.
Her hair was disheveled, her face scratched by tiles, and her hands were covered in wounds.
She didn't let herself shed a single tear until an elderly person she saved asked her, "Miss, are you here to find someone?"
This elderly person was someone she saved, she needed to take the elderly to the gathering point where there was government rescue and supplies.
The elderly didn't want to go, he said his wife was still underneath, she was afraid of the cold and the dark, he wanted to stay with her.
Many bodies had already been dug out nearby, and Kathy knew in her heart that the elderly's wife most likely had no chance of survival.
The elderly had gone out to buy breakfast when the earthquake happened, narrowly escaping.
But his wife at home wasn't so lucky.
Now, the rescue personnel were still detecting where there were signs of life, and this area showed no signs of life.
They had to prioritize rescuing areas with signs of life.
So the elderly sat there, using his hands to dig, lift, and search for his loved one.
Kathy silently cried, helping the elderly lift the fallen wood.
The two had just lifted a stone when there was a rumbling sound. Kathy quickly pulled the elderly, "Be careful!"
Because someone nearby moved too much, causing some parts of the collapsed building to sink again.
A staff member's foot was crushed on the spot.
Kathy quickly went over to help lift things.
Someone nearby shouted, "Be careful! Move quickly! If there's another aftershock, this place is the most dangerous!"
Kathy certainly knew this place was the most dangerous, but Gerald was also most likely to appear here.
She saw Stuart, the always noble Stuart, silently searching, lifting, his deep gaze met hers, their eyes locked.
Kathy was afraid he would tell her to go back to the hotel and wait in the next second.
But Stuart looked at her, said nothing, and continued his work.
Kathy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly went to help the person next to her.
But that person slipped, accidentally touching a nearby pillar.
Unexpectedly, that pillar was a support, forming a stable space nearby, and with his movement, the balance was broken.
The rubble and beams began to collapse again.
Kathy exclaimed, her foot slipped, and she was about to be crushed.
A strong arm encircled her waist, pulling her out directly.
