To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 191

Chapter 191 No Blessing From God

Jenny was ready to retort by clarifying that she backed down because it was impossible to take action on Yvonne, who had married into the Blooms. She didn't show Yvonne mercy for Alec's sake.

However, she was interrupted by a villager who hurried over. "We heard crying from Clearwater Elementary! Some kids are still trapped under the school! The village chief wants me to inform you, Dr. Walter." "Alright. I'll head over." She snapped back to reality and quickly packed her first-aid supplies. Similarly, Alec was pulled back to reality, but he didn't complain about the interruption because rescuing victims. was the priority.

"I'll hold that for you." He reached out to take the bag from her when she was about to put it on. Since she was focused on the rescue, she didn't refuse his help.

After the initial earthquake, Jenny had once rushed to Clearwater Elementary and saved a few children. Since the villagers didn't hear any other response from below the rubble, they left to help the other victims. because they couldn't afford to waste time in the school area.

Everyone had thought there were no survivors in the school's rubble, but the latest development came as a huge shock. Some villagers started digging away at the rubble of the completely collapsed school as parents wailed. It was a tough scene to watch.

Jenny went forward to join the digging but was stopped by Alec. "I'll go. You wait here. Once we get them out, you can give them medical support."

"Sure." She nodded, knowing that she was limited in what she could do. Offering medical support was a better role for her.

Soon, everyone around joined the excavation. Several times during the mission, Alec's satellite phone- which was in Jenny's care-rang from Vincent's incoming calls. Vincent informed her that the rescue team was close to Clearwater Village and would arrive in three hours' time. He also reminded them to stay safe. 1

After the call, Jenny let out a small sigh of relief. When Vincent and the rescue team arrived, she believed that every victim in the village could be dug out of the rubble.

"There are kids in there!" someone shouted. "Who's going in to bring them out?"

The villagers went silent. The memories of how Jenny almost lost her life from saving Justin remained vivid, and no one wanted to bet their lives on the rescue. However, Alec jumped into the rubble through an opening while everyone was hesitating.

The village chief sighed at the sight. He had never thought the village would ultimately have to rely on two outsiders to risk their lives for the rescue.

"Help! Take this kid from me." The villagers heard Alec's voice from underneath the rubble and quickly lifted the young victim out to safety without a word. Soon, the kid was sent to Jenny for medical treatment. Although she had no visibility of the progress, she understood that Alec was deep in the rubble to save the children when she heard his voice. She didn't stop him and merely prayed for his safety. To their dismay, God did not seem to bless them. An aftershock struck without any warning.

"Quick! Pull him out!" the village chief yelled. Unfortunately, the villagers' first instinct was to run to safety when they were hit by the aftershock. The chief watched helplessly as falling rocks and rubble sealed the

opening

The aftershock went on longer this time. Five minutes later, when the quake subsided, the villagers. returned to the school only to replace that the area was in a worse condition than before, and the only opening in the rubble was sealed up even more.

"C-can anyone survive this?" a villager blurted out without thinking.

"Yes, he will survive!" When Jenny heard that Alec was buried in the rubble, she rushed over, looking disheveled. Tears filled her eyes, but she held them back. Instead, she started removing the rocks from the sealed opening. "Alec Faust, I will save you. I swear!"
