Chapter: 1285

In truth, he dreaded the possibility that Norah might have been in that car. She had survived one accident by sheer luck, but would fortune favor her twice?

After Norah's crash last year, Sean had also organized a search for the area, but to no avail. Six months later, he had instructed the team to call it quits.

Phillip responded, "I'll get it sorted right away."

Before their arrival, the police had already received news of the car accident, along with Kason's instructions. They had been scouring the area below for a couple of hours.

Kason had long cultivated strong ties with Silverdale's officials and police, so most of the officers were familiar with him.

A police officer soon approached Kason with an update.

“We've found the vehicle at the bottom of the mountain. It's badly damaged, and the license plate is..."

Recognizing the license plate as belonging to the car Nora was in, Kason trembled, his voice quivering with urgency. “What about the casualties?"

The police officer hesitated before replying, “Only one person survived."

Kason and Sean stood grimly, their faces etched with worry. The air around them felt heavy, like a storm cloud about to burst.

Sean's throat constricted, parched with unasked questions. He dreaded the answers, yet knew they must come.

This wasn't another disappearance. Norah had been found in the car.

“Who survived?" Kason's voice quavered, betraying his fear.

Kason and Sean, the two towering handsome men, fixed bloodshot eyes on the messenger policeman.

Their unwavering stare made him squirm. "The young lady survived, but she is severely injured," he reported, his words tumbling out quickly.

"She's been taken to Concord Hospital in Silverdale."

Taking a brief pause, the officer continued, “When we opened the car door, we found a deceased person in the back seat who had shielded the young lady, taking the brunt of the impact. This gave the survivor a fighting chance."

He painted a grim picture of the wreckage at the mountain's base.

Smoke had billowed from the mangled vehicle, and they'd feared the worst.

But then, they discovered that the young lady still had a faint heartbeat, clinging to life. She was rushed to the hospital for emergency care.

Sean's face relaxed a fraction. He barked orders to Phillip, demanding protection for Norah.

Her survival might tempt her enemies to strike again.

Sean was determined that Norah would not suffer again.

Kason, on the other hand, couldn't help but think of Amy, who had stayed by Nora's side. Even as relief washed over him for Nora's survival, a pang of sorrow gripped his heart.
