Chapter 193

Someone was calling out, and the voice was unmistakably Alanna's

Sharon looked over and saw Alanna running toward her, her arm twisted at a strange angle. "No, no! Don't hang it up! The child fell to the other side!

Tears streamed down her face, which was ghostly pale, and she shook her head desperately.

She was on the verge of breaking down.

Everyone around them went pale with shock

Seeing Alanna like this made Sharon's heart skip a beat. She quickly spoke up. "What happened to Irene?"

"Why did you let the child go in there? You're an adult. Can't you even watch a child!!" Someone in the crowd demanded harshly

Alanna bit her lip hard, her face full of panic and guilt. "Just now... a lot of people bumped into me, and Irene just ran in. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

As she spoke, she stumbled and ran to the other side, calling Irene's name over and over

Sharon felt as if a chunk of her heart had been suddenly hacked away!

It was hollow and painful, cold sweat dripping down her face.

"What exactly happened?" Edwin asked while untying the safety rope around him.

Blake came over, his face extremely grave, but he didn't speak immediately, just looked at Edwin

Edwin understood and whispered to Sharon, 7 go take a look,"

With that, the two men were abour to leave together.

"Blake, whatever it is, say it here!" Sharon suddenly spoke out, her tone firm.

Blake's face showed a hint of difficulty.

"Trene is my daughter. I have the right to know!" She said these words with a trembling voice.

Irene being in trouble was more painful than anything happening to Sharon herself

Blake's face darkened.

Though relictant, he had to speak. "Alanna's arm was dislocated when she was bumped by a group of people, and Irene took the chance to run in to replace I you...."

As he spoke, his expression became even m

more serious. "When the column was being hoisted just now, one end shifted and it hit her!"

"Hit her?" Blake's words suddenly made Sharon think of Irene's earlier scream

That

because frent was hit? Sharon wondered.

The sudden shock forced Sharon's blood to surge, her chest tightening and her blood being forcefully expelled.

Swoosh!

She spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Sharon!" Blake called out in distress,

Edwin's brows furrowed in a dark, sinister way

Seeing Sharon spit blood made his heart clench painfully, his body jerking with it

He reached out, wanting to support her.

But she was so weighed down that he didn't dare touch her!

"I go take a look!" Edwin uk.

Irene was his daughter, and her injury was hitting Edwin harder than anyone else.

He stood up and walked toward Sharon, giving her a quick glance. "Tl be right back."

With that, he hurried away

At the other end, a crowd had already gathered.

Everyone looked grave.

Alanna, ignoring her dislocated arm, kneh on the ground, crying uncontrollably and calling Irene's name,

Seeing Edwin, the crowd dispersed.

Edwin immediately scanned the area for Irene's figure.

He saw her small body lying among the debris, a huge column lying across her.

The column was several times ber size, covering her lower body.

Only her upper body was visible, eyes closed, hands limp at her sides, lifeless.

A doctor was checking her vital signs. When Edwin arrived, he removed the stethoscope. "She still has vital signs, but the injuries are severe. If we don't get her out soon, her life could be in danger."

This column is massive, and the angle is tricky. With our current equipment, we can only pry one end. In this situation, the other end will definitely exert more force, and anyone underneath will undoubtedly perish, the head of the rescue team said, his face grave.

Both options meant risking lives. It was a painful decision to make.

But time was running out.

If the shelf on Sharon's side collapsed, it would be a dead end.

On Irene's side...

If they didn't decide within ten minutes and chose one person, it meant both would die!

Edwin had never faced such a dilemma before!

On one side was her daughter, and on the other was Sharon.

Even Alanna was horrified by the outcome, her mouth agape, her mind blank, mechanically repeating. What do we do? What do we do?"

"Make a decision quickly, or we won't save anyone!" urged the leader.

Time was of the essence

Just then, Blake approached

"Sharon said save Irene first," he said, his expression grave.

Sharon's decision tightened Edwin's brows, his face expressionless

Alanna couldn't bear it and rushed over, falling in front of Sharon. "No, I can't accept this, Sharon, there must be another way

Sharon looked at Alanna

She wanted to wipe away her tears, but she couldn't bring herself to

Sharon closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling

1 am not a hero. I can't truly face death fearlessly. I am terrified too. liut frene is my daughter. As a mother, how could I possibly abandon her?" Sharon wondered.

"Alanna, don't be afraid. I'm lucky. Heaven won't take me yet, Sharon said, hiding her overwhelming fear to comfort Alanna,

Alanna shook her head desperately and wondered, "Who can guarantee risking their lives! In reality, I feel I deserve punishment the most for failing to take care of Inne Thinking this, Alanna wiped her tears. "Sharon, I'll stay with you. If it's fate

With that, Alanna crawled under the column and lay down.

Meanwhile, Edwin approached.

He glanced briefly at Alanna before fixing his gaze on Sharon. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you or Irene.

Sharon looked up at him.

His gaze was firm, composed, without a hint of hesitation

Unexplainably, it gave Sharon a sense of reassurance.

Though he didn't elaborate much, Sharon just knew he could do it

"Okay." Sharon nodded, saying no more,

Edwin looked deeply at her and then walked away

Soon, various machines started buzzing

Commanders began issuing orders.

Miraculously, with each command, the column began to move.

Slowly, it lifted.

Peripheral personnel saw the column move and swiftly moved to drag Sharon out as quickly as possible.

Alanna followed

Without a moment's pause, they both ran toward Trene.

At the other end, Irene was carried out, medical personnel rushing

ng with IV drips.

Sharon tried to follow but collapsed after a few steps due to her weakened state.

Alanna saw Blake and ran toward him, supporting Sharon Sharon practically threw herself onto Blake. "How is Irene? Is she okay?"

Before Sharon could reach Blake, a hand pulled her back forcefully,

Sharon fell into a pair of warm arms

The person held her tightly as if she were a precious treasure recovered.

After a moment, a familiar voice broke the silence. "Irene has been rescued successfully, without any further harm."

The familiar voice startled Sharon awake. She finally noticed who was holding her
