Chapter 308: Life and Death

Karl can't help but block Rex's way, "Rex, don't lose your mind, I know you want to find Lily, but the fire
department has their own rules, I'll ask Pehry to bring his own people over later, it doesn't matter how
long you want to search."

Rex can't listen to his words, all he knows is that if he lets go now, then Lily will have to stay here
alone, and he doesn't want to leave Lily here.

"Listen to me!" Karl raises his voice and pulls at Rex's collar, "The person you're grabbing now is the
one who just risk his life and rush into the fire to save Lily, and you can't do that to him. Do you
understand?"

Rex finally listens to him when he talks about Lily, and the strength in his hands slackens for a moment.
In this gap, Karl asks the fire chief man aside and says, "You guys can leave now."

"Okay!" The fire chief thanks him gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Karl."

After saying that, he looks at the necklace, which is clutched in Rex's hand and it is part of the
evidence which still left at the scene, the man hesitates, "This necklace..."

Karl raises his hand to stop his words, "Leave it to him."

The man has nothing left to hold on to, the things which relate to Lily is just a few, and Karl can't bear to
deprive the necklace from him.

The fire chief nods and left. The fire sirens are faded away, and eventually, everything disappears into
the darkness of the night.

The night will indeed be doomed to a wakeful night for the person who loves Lily.



Rex turns around and looks at the river. The river is no longer beautiful anymore, and it looks horrible.
The scene seems like it wants to tell Rex that the river swallows Lily.

Suddenly, there is a horrible scene that appears in his mind. A burning corpse is salvaged from the
river. The corpse has lost her pretty face and life, only left with stiff.

Rex closes his eyes and takes a few steps backward. He almost losses his strength and can’t stand
still. His only remaining strength is clutching the necklace which left in the scene in his palm.

Karl is worried about his condition, "Let me inject you with a minimal effect tranquilizer."

Rex doesn't say anything, because he is losing all his functions now, and only the thing which relates to
Lily can wake him up.

Karl waves his hand to the people who stand on the side. He indicates the people to bring the medicine
over. Sterilizing and injecting it, all in one motion, but on the other hand, the person who is injected
doesn't seem to feel anything.

Karl's Hospital has developed this medicine, and its effect is minimal, unlike ordinary tranquilizing,
which means that it relieves the person's spirit under the impact of the ingredients.

After the injection, Karl puts the syringe into the recycling bin and speaks to the medical staff who are
standing beside him, "You guys can go back first."

It is enough that he stays here, as the scene is already sparse.

The medical teams also left. Everything is depressed and terrible; well it doesn't take too much time for
Pehry to arrive with his people.

There are five black nanny vans coming in a row, as well as a truck, which is parking on the side of the
road, with the doors open, the people who are wearing black protective suits are coming down one



after another.

Pehry wears a dark red velvet shirt; the V-neck of the shirt is flaunting and arrogant. His collarbone is
half exposed, but he can handle such a fashion. The outside of the shirt has been covered by a black
trench coat. It seems that he is in a hurry and covers the clothes because the color is inappropriate.

He takes a big step to them, his leggings are blown by the wind to stick to his legs, and he is shocked
by the scene in front of him before he arrives. He frowns and asks, "Karl, what's going on here?"

Karl pulls him aside and explains in a low voice, "Lily's car had crashed into the river, the fire
department just left, and they had sent someone down to look for it."

Pehry nods and gives command immediately. These people are previously practiced or retired from the
fire armed police. He gets these people through relationships; technically, these people are not worse
than the regular team.

Pehry is worrying Rex, who hasn't said a word since the beginning," Rex... is he alright?"

"Collapse." Karl forces a smile and shakes his head, "I just gave him a shot to calm him down. I'm
afraid that he can't hold up if there is something really happens to Lily this time."

Pehry never cares about the affairs, but finally he understands the feeling of helplessness. He has
always thought that every task can be achieved with effort, but now he can feel it, the feeling of
powerless.

The difference between life and death, even high power, cannot save it.

The top stops the news of the accident. They have given an order not to report it, and the
consequences for anyone who dares to overstep it are contemplated. So, the outside doesn't know
about the situation.



There is only one exception, which is Abby.

She is having a dinner with Bree and Harry at the Red Community. Suddenly, she has received a call
from an unknown number, and only after she accepts the call, she discovers that it is Orson.

This man...

Abby looks gloomy, and she is about to hang up, but before she can do so, bad news comes from the
other end of the phone, "Something has happened to Lily."

Abby's hand that is holding the phone tightens abruptly, "What did you say?!"

"The car in charge of escorting Lily had an accident, it crashed into the river and exploded, and she has
not been found yet."

These few words have made Abby shock, and she even thinks that she misheard them. She has never
thought of such words. How could they happen on Lily...

But the next second, Orson's words force her to believe it, "This news is blocked by them, you must not
say this to anyone. Let you know just in case you may help them in Lily's case."

Abby can't react, she looks up at the window in front of her, her pale face and red eyes reflected on the
glass. She chokes and says, "What did you... say?"

Orson listens to her voice and says, "Don't cry."

Abby rushes to the scene of the accident around 10:30 pm. She takes a taxi to the entrance of the
tunnel, which has restricted access. She walks over, step by step, although the distance is not close.

Her heart sinks when she sees there is lighting emitting from the emergency lights, and the more she
takes a step closer, the more she realizes that all of Orson's words are true.



The words are like etched into her brain until she walks out from the tunnel and sees the broken railing
and the burn marks on the scene.

At that moment, she is stunning and unable to speak a word.
