Chapter 307: His World Collapses

Rex doesn't believe it, it is impossible.

But…

The man slowly turns his gaze to the river surface. Everything is burnt to black. The strong smell in his
breath is so obvious, reminding him that all this happens is reality, not an illusion.

The firemen around him run back and forth to search and rescue. He stands in his place with a slight
bow, as if he can’t straighten up because of the extreme pain, "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

With time passes by, it is getting dark. After receiving the news, Karl brings his medical team to the
scene. He freezes when he gets out of the car.

Is the rescue needed? It is already a mess.

At a glance, Karl sees the man standing at the broken part of the railing. Karl’s heart is filled with
bitterness. He doesn't dare to think about it, fearing that he will drown himself in the grief.

Karl closes his eyes for a few seconds, and then walks quickly towards Rex. At the same time, a
fireman also walks towards Rex.

The fireman is wearing a gas mask so his voice is not very clear, "Mr. Rex, we found this…"

As he speaks, he raises his arm and stretches out his hand in front of Rex to slowly open it. It is a very
thin necklace. The necklace is already attached with a lot of burned debris, but the pendant is vaguely
distinguishable.

Because of this, Rex can’t help shaking when his gaze shifts to the necklace. If he had the illusion that
she is still alive just now, now this necklace has completely ruined his illusion.



He is the one gives the necklace to Lily. He remembers, at that time, he specially finds someone to
help so that she can wear it all the time. Now the necklace appears in the hands of the fireman...

The necklace is still there, but his Lily is gone.

The man stares blankly. He watches the fireman putting the necklace into a transparent bag then
sealing it. He watches the fireman handing it to himself.

When his fingertips touch the cold bag, his heart gets twisting, thinking of her smile when she once put
on this necklace. He suddenly feels dizzy.

Karl hurriedly supports him. Even Karl feels bitterness in his heart, and then tears well up in his eyes,
"Rex..."

Before Karl can finish his words, the man beside him suddenly struggles out. Rex rushes to the place
where the railing is broken, making Karl think that Rex wants to suicide. Karl quickly drags him back
with the help of the fireman beside him.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?!" Karl yells furiously, watching Rex falling to the ground like a
forceless doll.

"Karl..." Rex looks at the dark sky and calls him in a choked voice. The tears in his eyes gather
together at the corners of his eyes and slip down, "Her necklace is here, but she is gone. How come?"

He watches the firemen walking back and forth. They are looking for Lily, looking for the girl he loves so
deeply in his heart. But why do they keep searching around the river?

Karl squats by Rex’s side, looking at him. Karl knows how desperate Rex is. Karl can't bear to say the
cruel answer, "There is no result yet. There is still hope."

Hope?



A weird smile appears on Rex's face. He looks so sad even with a smile, "Yes, there is still hope, what
if, what if she..."

Suddenly he stops, stunning for a while, then raises his hands to cover his cheeks, crying, "The fire is
too big. The car is melted. She is so small and so delicate. How can she survive..."

The reality is cruel and cold, and it forces him to believe it.

"How could it be like this?" he murmurs, and no one responds.

How could something happen to the woman he wants to take care of with all his heart?

An hour ago, she was so active talking to him. He even remembers her facial expression when she
was talking, and he can even smell the scent from her, but all of those are gone in a blink of an eye.
The cold water takes everything away from him.

The siren is still ringing, like a silent shouting to this accident. The sky is completely dark now. The
night wind blows in the man's eyes, causing his tears rush to fall.

The search and rescue still continue.

Karl doesn't want to leave Rex at all, not even for half a step. Karl understands with Rex’s current state
of mind, he may do anything. He is too aware of Lily's influence and importance to this man. For Rex,
Lily is the key to everything. Without this key, Rex will lose all his feelings.

He is like a walking dead, without soul and temperature.

So even if the scene is as terrible as hell, Karl still hopes that God can pity this man, by giving him a
chance, by returning Lily to him.

Half an hour passed by without results.



After an hour, there is still no news.

With the time passing by, it starts getting late. Even the lights are turned on to assist the search.

The golden search and rescue time is about to pass. Everyone knows that there will be no miracles
anymore, but no one dares to come forward to tell Rex.

They search again and again. The rescuing people change many times, but there is still no different
answer. Still, no one can tell Rex the answer he is waiting for.

Finally, the team has to leave.

The fire captain looks at the man who is sitting on the ground and walks over with a look of
embarrassment. He tries all his efforts but still his voice is trembling, "Mr. Rex, the search is over, how
about..."

"What did you say?" The man's voice is deep and painful, not loud, but it shakes people's hearts with
panic.

"The search…search… search work is over, Mr. Rex, can we let the team go..."

"Over?!" Rex stands up from the ground. All the sadness in his body suddenly turns into anger of
unwilling to believe the reality. The person in front of him becomes the bad guy who forces him to admit
that Lily is dead. He is so angry that he loses his mind, "She is not found yet. Why the searching team
can leave? I need to see Lily, the person or corpse! There is nothing you found yet. Who gives you the
courage to tell me to let the team go?"

There is soot on the face of the fire captain, which was contaminated by the fire just now. His uniform
neckline is grabbed so tight by Rex that it makes him out of breath for a second. He coughs quickly,
"Ahem, Mr. Rex, calm down…"



How can he calm down? His beloved woman is gone. She disappears completely. How can he calm
down!

"Go!" Rex spits out a word fiercely. His eyes are bulging like they would fall off. "As long as no one is
found, she must be alive!"

"But……"

“Shut up! I tell you to search! Go search! Now!" Rex has never lost control like he is now. In the past 30
years, he has never felt so desperate.

He can’t do anything but admit that he is losing her.

No one can understand the pain of losing his beloved one; it is just like him being disintegrated. Lily is
everything to him. All his happiness is related to this woman. Without her, his world will collapse. It will
never be complete ever again.
