Chapter 192 He Will Be Fine!
“Why are you standing there? Save him!” the village chief roared at the onlookers, and everyone
immediately went to work. Still, the collapsed classroom was further buried under the rubble after falling
rocks from the aftershock piled onto it. The villagers could not move the rocks by hand and would require
the help of larger machinery.
Even when the villagers had stopped digging, Jenny continued working on the rocks until her fingers
bled. She went on as though she couldn’t feel the pain at all.
“Dr. Walter, you…” The village chief went up to comfort her but was at a loss for words.
“He’ll be fine,” she muttered while digging. How could anything happen to the invincible Alec Faust?
“That won’t happen. That’s impossible,” she thought.
The village chief felt sorry for her and attempted to hold her back. “Dr. Walter, please don’t go on. The

Even if they assumed that the victims in the rubble were not crushed by the rocks, without heavy
machinery to clear them, one could only wonder how long the victims could hang on.
“Chief, I believe he’ll be fine. Please don’t stop. Let’s save the victims, alright?” She shot a pleading look
at the village chief. At that moment, she had no idea why she was overcome with sadness. Tears almost
rolled down her cheeks.
Feeling touched, the village chief nodded furiously. “Sure, sure. I’ll ask them to continue digging.”
Although they were constrained in many ways, they couldn’t possibly sit back and do nothing.
“Alec Faust!” Jenny suddenly bellowed at the rubble despite not knowing if the victims could hear her. “I
thought you said you wanted to pursue me. If you come out alive, I’ll give you a chance.”
Her voice boomed across the area. The villagers had tears in their eyes when they glanced at her.
When the satellite phone rang again, she quickly took the call as if she were clutching a life jacket.
“Where are you?” she yelled at Vincent. “Do you have excavators with you?”
Vincent paused in surprise because he had never seen her in such a distressed state. “Y-yes.”
“How long will it take you to arrive?” she questioned calmly.
“We’re at the entrance to the village, but we don’t know your exact location. That’s why I called.”
Although Clearwater Village wasn’t huge, it still covered considerable land space. Blindly searching for
Alec would be a meaningless task and lead to more delays. Therefore, Vincent decided to call and ask
for their location.
Joy was written over Jenny’s face, and she turned to the village chief. “The rescue team is here. They
have excavators with them. Quick, get someone to bring them here from the village entrance.”
“Okay!” With that, the village chief and another young man dashed toward the entrance without wasting
more time. Jenny stared at the running young man and looked at the rubble underneath her. She
believed Alec must have heard her promise because she yelled at the top of her lungs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the entrance, Vincent met up with the village chief and the young man; he was briefed on the latest
development from the two. He almost went crazy when he learned Alec was buried under the rubble.
“Dear Mr. Faust, how can! answer your grandfather if something happens to you?” he gasped silently.
He quickened his pace and arrived at Clearwater Elementary soon. He didn’t greet Jenny and went
straight to the point. “Miss Walter, where is he?”
“Here!” She pointed at the collapsed opening that was sealed by the rocks. Vincent hurriedly got
someone to drive the excavator over. Jenny started feeling nervous. “If they keep digging, will they cause
further collapse?”
“Don’t worry, Miss Walter. They’re professional,” Vincent replied. She went silent and waited by the side.
Although she appeared calm on the outside, she was going through a storm inside as she was afraid that
she might not find Alec alive.
