Ruth had been following lissa ever since she was rescued.
In Ruth’s eyes, lissa was now like an angel that Ruth’s mother had told Ruth about. Not only had lissa saved Ruth’s life, but lissa had also saved the people in the village and so many students in the school.
This beautiful girl, lissa, was the best in the world.
Therefore, when she heard the rescue team captain’s words, Ruth did not say anything. Ruth raised her head and looked at lissa pitifully. Like a holess little pet, Ruth was clutching the corner of lissa’s clothes.
Ruth was reluctant to part with this pretty girl. Ruth didn’t want to go to any "safer place". She only wanted to be with lissa.
lissa smiled at the sight of Ruth’s pitiful look which told that Ruth was reluctant to part with her.
lissa also felt that Ruth was very cute, not to ntion that Ruth had just lost her mother. It was normal for Ruth to be dependent on others after going through such a painful thing.
lissa slowly squatted down and reached out to touch the back of Ruth’s head. lissa coaxed Ruth with a gentle look in her eyes, "Ruth, be good. This man is not a bad person. He is here to save you.
"Listen to . This place is very dangerous now. There might be aftershocks at any ti. You follow him to a safer place, okay?
"Take good care of yourself. Once I’m available, I’ll go to look for you."
"Will you co to for real?" The little girl lowered her head and thought for a long ti before asking timidly.
lissa nodded heavily and answered sincerely, "Yes, I will!"
lissa extended her pinky and smiled at Ruth. "If you don’t believe , let’s pinky swear, okay?"
Ruth revealed a smile and stretched out her hand. Two fingers were hooked together. lissa said in a very serious tone, "I promise I will go to visit you! Alright! You should leave with him now. It’s not safe here."
lissa was only focused on comforting Ruth, so she didn’t notice a few reporters nearby were recording the two of them making a pinky promise.
"Alright. I’ll take Ruth away to a safe hospital in town ," the rescue captain said in a deep voice.
lissa stood up. "Then I’ll have to trouble you guys. The person we’re looking for hasn’t been found yet, so we’ll take a look around to see if there’s anyone else."
At the sa ti, Nina was anxiously looking for Tom.
"Tom! Tom! Where are you?" Nina looked around and shouted, but there was no response.
Nina had helped the rescue team save six people, but she had not found the person she had been looking for.
As it was getting dark, Nina was anxious.
It would be more difficult to search for them at night.
As ti passed by, the danger that Tom was in increased.
Being a girl, Nina was exhausted after such a long ti of searching. She held her knees and breathed heavily.
"Nina!" After sending Ruth away, lissa saw Nina far away, so she quickly ran forward to hold Nina’s arm and asked worriedly, "Is Tom still missing?"
Nina shook her head while gasping for air. She said intermittently, "No ... no. I have already searched for him in a large area. Tom was not among those who were rescued. lissa, what should I do? I am worried about him now."
Nina’s voice sounded like she was about to cry, filled with concern.
At the sa ti, the captain of the rescue team happened to bring over the teacher and students who had just been rescued. When he saw lissa, he walked over and greeted her, "I will send them to the safe zone in town . I also left so mbers to continue the rescue. It will be hard on you here."
Nina was on the verge of collapsing , and every second seed exceptionally long for her.
Nina braced herself and heard the conversation between the rescue captain and lissa. Nina suddenly rushed over and grabbed the sleeve of the captain. She cried hysterically and asked, "Have you seen Tom? Have you seen him? He is tall, thin with small eyes and black hair! Is he injured?"
The captain didn’t answer her, and then Nina rushed to those students, asking them one by one like crazy.
"Nina!" lissa grabbed Nina’s shoulders with both hands and forcefully pulled her away. "Don’t be like this."
Looking at Nina acting like this, lissa felt heartbroken.
However, Tom was still nowhere to be found. Words couldn’t comfort Nina now.
Nina grabbed lissa’s arm in tears. "lissa, where do you think Tom is? Is he in danger..."
lissa bit her lip. "Nina, calm down! Tom will be fine. Don’t worry. We will find him. Can you calm down first?"
lissa understood Nina’s feelings. If it was Murray who was buried in the ruins, not knowing whether he was still alive or not, lissa would probably be in a worse state than Nina.
"Mr. Warren seems to be in the classroom..." a student weakly spoke.
"What did you say?" Nina looked at the student excitedly. "Do you know where Tom is?"
The student’s lips were covered with blood stains. It was difficult for him to speak because of his injury. "Mr. Warren is our teacher... He didn’t have ti to run out when the earthquake hit..."
What?
Tom didn’t have the ti to run out?
Nina’s heart sank.
Nina’s eyes gradually turned red. Her hand was still holding lissa’s wrist, and her fingertips subconsciously tightened.
lissa was also worried when she heard the words of the students, but she still comforted her, "Nina, calm down. Let’s see what else they’ll tell us."
A few students also opened their mouths and said, "Mr. Warren was teaching at that ti. Then the earthquake suddenly happened. He organized us to run away, but after that, the teaching building collapsed. We didn’t see Mr. Warren run out outside..."
"Where was that teaching building located?" lissa asked in a low voice.
lissa looked extrely calm at present. Nina was already flustered, so lissa had to stay calm.
lissa frowned and analyzed, "Since Tom did not run out, he must have been buried under the teaching building. Now ... it shouldn’t be too late!"
"Over there." The boy who was the first to speak looked in the direction of the left and pointed with his little finger.
Without thinking, Nina ran in that direction like crazy.
"All of you go there to search for Tom!" lissa commanded the bodyguards.
"Yes, Ms. Eugen!" the dozens of bodyguards answered respectfully and followed Nina, running towards the direction of the teaching building.
