Jenny was ready to retort by clarifying that she backed down because it was impossible to take action on

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,

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.

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

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

returned to the school only to find 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!”
