Chapter 281 The Accident
Veronica knew that she had nothing to take from home and that all her important things were packed delicately in a backpack.
She guessed that Nick must be having doubts at the moment.
Veronica didn't know how he found out, but she knew that she couldn't stay one more minute in the capital.
The only thing she could think about was her escape plan and she knew that she had to utilize it as soon as she could.
Veronica's eyes were filled with panic, which made her hands and feet weak. She only hoped that she would be able to get out of the dire situation she was in soon.
As Nick got into the car, he turned on the phone's tracking software and found out about Veronica's location.
"Running away, huh? Seems like you haven't learned your lesson yet." He murmured to himself.
The Rolls-Royce car that Nick owned then drove down the road through the Sunshine apartment in search for Veronica.
Nick suddenly found that Veronica's position had stopped ten minutes ago, which made him anxious. Her position from the map hasn't moved at all.
Nick furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. The location that Veronica was in wasn't the location of her house at all. He thought that maybe something unexpected happened.
After the car drove for about five minutes, Nick commanded the car to stop. He then got out of the car.
There was a lot of noise and chaos in front of him.
The guardrail on the side of the road had been smashed. ambulances and rescue teams were then parked on the road in hopes of finding the victims of the tragic accident.
There were men and women crying on the side of the road, who seemed to be relatives of the victims.
Kay Tours, who got off the other side of the car, walked towards Nick and stood beside him. "It looks like a car accident."
Before Nick could listen to what Kay had to say, He went straight over to the captain of the rescue team at a steady, urgent pace.
"What's going on?" He told the captain.
The captain was in shock of the whole situation as well, so he subconsciously told Nick what happened during the accident. "In order to avoid being hit, a bus lost control, crashed through the guardrail and fell into the lake."
Nick took out his phone again to see where Veronica's location was. When he saw that Veronica's position was in the lake, his hands began shaking.
Kay was standing next to Nick and saw what had happened, he knew the situation immediately.
"All of you go down and find someone!" Nick coldly told his bodyguards as he became anxious. "Hurry up!"
They were racing against time and Nick was already on the edge.
Not bothering to question Nick's orders, his bodyguards then grabbed the remaining tools that the rescue team had, took off half of their clothes and jumped into the lake.
The rescuers were shocked.
Nick stood by the guardrail, staring at the lake. He was tense. He had hoped to rescue Veronica immediately.
Kay was simply looking at Nick. He had never seen him like this before.
According to the what the captain of the rescue team said, they've fled to the scene fast enough. As long as they could get people up quickly, there was a high chance that they would still be alive.
Veronica, on the other hand, has a locator. Nick expected that she would be found faster than the others.
One of the victim's relatives grabbed a rescue team member's shirt, clutching it while crying at the same time. "Will you be able to find my daughter? She's going to be fine, right?"
"We'll try our best!" The rescue team member said.
Meanwhile, Kay stood beside Nick to update him on the situation they were in. "There are about 30 people on the bus. I heard that there are also old people and children."
"Since Veronica has a locator, we'll be sure to find her soon. " Key reassured him.
Nick was silent and motionless. He was simply staring at the lake, hoping that they'd find Veronica soon.
"Got them!" One of the rescue team members said.
As Nick looked down, he found that the rescue team saved more than two people. He was starting to feel relieved.
Nick looked around, but he couldn't find Veronica anywhere, let alone Isabella and the children.
The rescue team did their best to save as much people as possible. Some of them could swim, but some of them also couldn't. The people who gave signs of life were then rushed to the hospital alongside their relatives.
However, the fact that Nick couldn't find Veronica made him anxious to the point where he was desperate.
