Reborn Wife

Chapter 44 

Everything she said came true! Olivia was not the slightest bit happy.

Instead, her brows furrowed even more tightly.

Galen had already arrived at the mountain, and now.

it had completely collapsed.

Bruce had said that Galen was already in danger earlier.

Olivia remembered that in her previous life, Galen, who was clearly hopeful of being rescued, was trapped in the car because he did not discover the landslide in time.

In this life, even if they arrived there on time, there would still be no chance to save him.

"Don't worry,’ Olivia said, "I'm sure they're already searching for him right now.He'll be rescued."

Unexpectedly, Bruce suddenly reached over and rubbed her head.

His thin lips curled up slightly.

"Are you worried about me?" he asked.

Olivia was stunned.

She wanted to avoid this tragedy, partly because she did not want to see Galen, who had unparalleled medical skills, die just like that, and partly because she wanted to repay Bruce for his help.

If one really cared about him, there would definitely be no such thing as... All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as Olivia was thinking how to answer, Bruce took the initiative to change the topic.

"Let's go and take a look"

The two of them got out of the car and headed towards the blockaded road.

The landslide and thunderstorm caused line failure, and almost no signal in the entire could be found.

The blockade was pulled up by an old man nearby, preventing other vehicles or pedestrians from moving further forward.

Seeing Bruce and Olivia approaching, the old man immediately came up to dissuade him.

"We can't go further ahead.You guys should turn back immediately.’

"Grandpa, is the area of the landslide big?" Olivia walked forward with her umbrella and asked, "We have a friend who drove over.We can't get in touch with each other and we don't know how things are now”

"It's hard to say.There are still falling stones on the mountain.If we encounter them, I'm afraid it will be dangerous!" The old man sighed.

"I wonder when the search and rescue people will arrive.If they arrive early, they might be able to save a few more people’

"Almost there.Earlier, on the road, Bruce had already called in a search and rescue team just in case.Now, it was about time.Sure enough, not long after Olivia finished saying those words, the sound of helicopters rumbling came from the sky” the search and rescue team had arrived.

At that moment, six helicopters flew towards the area where the collapse was the most serious, carrying out a descent-type search and rescue.

Ten minutes later, a few fire engines also arrived.

Under such a large-scale search and rescue, news would probably spread very quickly.

Olivia looked from afar and heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the wind and rain were heavy, and the only street lamps on both sides of the path were blown to the ground.

Olivia sneezed and felt a little cold.

In the next second, a suit jacket landed on her shoulder, carrying a faint fragrance of mint—refreshing and pleasant to the nose.

And the temperature of his body...

Olivia raised her head and smiled faintly.

"Thank you."

"Let's go sit in the car first’’ Bruce suggested, pulling on her hand.

The waiting time was always long.

Olivia leaned against her seat and listened to the crackling sound of raindrops outside the car.

Sleepiness surged over and she unknowingly fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, a muffled thunder suddenly exploded.

Olivia was woken up, and she suddenly sat up.

As a result, something cold accidentally brushed past her lips.

She opened her eyes in confusion, only to see Bruce's handsome face in front of her.

He had leaned over and was covering her with a blanket.

And what she accidentally kissed just now seemed to be his ear...

Olivia's head buzzed, and she was completely awake this time.

‘It's over she thought.”

‘I'm in trouble! The extreme clean freak would not throw me out of the car, would he?’

At the same time, the two of them were stunned as they looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly rose.

However, before something else could happen, someone knocked on the car window, their actions crazed.

Aman in a rescue suit anxiously urged them to lower the window.

Olivia came back to her senses and quietly retreated.

Bruce sat back down and lowered his window.

His voice was cold as he said, "Speak."

"There's news!"

The rescue officer wiped the rain off his face.

"We just found a sports car buried underground, sir.It's definitely Mr.Galen's car, but there’s no one inside.He should have escaped successfully’ This was good news.

Bruce nodded.

"Continue the search and rescue."

"Yes!"

The rescue officer replied loudly, and then ran back to the sealed area.

The car window was closed again, and Bruce started the car and drove towards a narrow road on the other side.

"Where are we going?" Olivia asked.

"Find a place to stay.We might not be able to return tonight."

The wind and rain were so heavy that it was not safe to drive at high speeds.

Some of the trees and street lamps on the road were blown down by the wind, and the roads were all blocked.

Even if they wanted to return today, they would not be able to do so.

Besides, they still had to stay here and wait for news.

Bruce sighed softly when he saw the woman's distracted expression.

"I didn't expect this, too,'' he told her.

"Otherwise, I would have arranged for someone to send you back’

"It's fine" Olivia's expression was indifferent.

"It's important to save Galen"

They purposely skirted around the topic of the kiss just now.

After driving for seven or eight minutes, Bruce finally chose to stay at a very lively house.

It belonged to an old couple who had been doing farm work all year round and were in good health.

Seeing them drenched in rain, they greeted them warmly inside.

The storm lasted until night.

After eating a very delicious meal, the old woman smiled and tidied up the room next door.

"Sorry, we rarely expect any visitors,’ she told them apologetically.

"Please don't mind the simple and crude room."

"How could that be?" Olivia smiled gently.

"We're already very embarrassed to trouble you."

"Ah, I don't know when this power outage will be over.I'll put a few more candles in your room.If you get up in the middle of the night, you can light them."

The old woman, Susan chuckled as she stood up and led them to the room.

Olivia looked over and was immediately embarrassed.

Susan only had one room left, so she and Bruce had to sleep in the same room tonight.

She was stunned.She saw the old woman smiling.

"You and your husband should rest early.I'll go back to my room to sleep.’

‘Husband?’ Olivia opened her mouth to explain, but Susan had already left.

The door was closed.

Olivia looked at the tall and handsome man in the candlelight.

She scratched her head.

"May I should sleep outside?" she asked awkwardly.

Bruce glanced at her.

"Are you afraid of sharing a room with me and taking advantage of me in the middle of the night?" he questioned.

Olivia immediately shook her head.

"No."

"Oh."

Bruce sat on the bed and said leisurely, "Then go to sleep."
