“…” Andrea Jones really couldn’t nod her head and say ‘yes’ and could only sigh helplessly.
I really want Neal Williams to hurry back, and now I’m afraid that only he can save himself.
However, Christina Sanchez didn’t care if she said yes or not, closed the door, turned around and went out to work.
All day long, Bonnie Williams and her father-in-law went to work, leaving Andrea Jones and Christina Sanchez to stare at the house.
In the afternoon, I called Neal Williams, but the call didn’t go through. Thinking it might be a bad signal, I didn’t keep calling and just sat on the couch watching TV.
A while later Christina Sanchez moved a speaker out and was playing Mozart, Beethoven and other piano music.
Obviously, this is a fetal education from now on.
Although it is a little early, but, listening to these music Andrea Jones still feel a lot of relief.
Pregnant women are always a bit sleepy. Leaning on the couch, listening to music, just fell asleep. I don’t know how long I slept, but I let Christina Sanchez push me awake.
“Andrea Jones? Andrea Jones!”
“Huh? Mom.” Andrea Jones opened her eyes in a daze to see Christina Sanchez looking at her with a worried look on her face. She barely snapped out of it and sat up straight, “Is something wrong?”
“You hurry up and watch this news.” Christina Sanchez pointed at the TV.
Andrea Jones was baffled and followed her instructions. The CCTV news was showing an accident in a mountainous area, where the weather was bad, with stormy weather, mudslides and floods, so there were many accidents. There were houses collapsed and buses overturned. The casualties were horrific.
Andrea Jones is too sleepy, sweeping a few eyes, eyelids to fall again. However, the moment she closed her eyes, she remembered something, and her whole body shuddered violently, and her eyes widened.
Christina Sanchez was taken aback by her reaction and simply asked, “Is Neal here on business? Well, he’s in T-town, right?”
“…” Andrea Jones also did not care to return, immediately ambled from the side to get the phone to dial Neal Williams’ phone. However, the phone dialed, always unreachable state.
Listening to the stiff cold ‘beep’ sound, her hands shook.
“What? The call didn’t go through?” Christina Sanchez asked busily.
Andrea Jones’ lips turned a little white, “Mom … Neal Williams’ phone hasn’t been working all day.”
Christina Sanchez was also frightened, “Call the others and ask them what’s going on. Where’s his secretary?”
Andrea Jones took her cell phone, looked up Zoey Baker’s number, and dialed it. But, again, she couldn’t get through, so she was immediately anxious, but she didn’t know what to do.
Christina Sanchez was afraid that it would affect her emotionally and then the child. Although her heart was in turmoil and she was upset, she still reassured her, “Don’t worry, it’s windy and rainy over there, maybe the reveal has been blown off somewhere. We Neal fortunate life, is never an accident.”
“Yes, yes, yes, Neal Williams will be fine.” Rather than reassure herself, it was more like a prayer, Andrea Jones murmured over and over. But, unable to sit still, she stood up, walked back and forth, called Marshall Johnson and asked for the phone numbers of the other colleagues who had gone with Neal Williams.
But, without exception, none of them got through.
What to do? What to do?
After walking back and forth several times, she gritted her teeth, “Mom, I really don’t feel comfortable, I’ll book a flight now and go over there to take a look.”
Her heart was like a drum, all uneasy. The ominous sense of foreboding pulling her nerves, so she really can not calm.
When Christina Sanchez heard her say this, she didn’t even think twice about rejecting it.
“How can that be? You’re pregnant and in such bad shape, you must not go!”
“Mom, we don’t know what’s going on with Neal Williams over there, and I can’t sit at home and wait right now!” The thought that something might happen to Neal Williams over there made Andrea Jones unable to stay even for a moment.
She really regrets now that she really should have offered to go with him in the first place. Moreover, when she sent him out, her eyelids were fluttering.
No, no, no! You can’t think, you can’t! It must be an illusion. Nothing will happen to Neal Williams!
“I know you’re anxious, and I’m just as anxious as you are. However, there is no accurate information yet, so it may really be because the line is broken. You are not allowed to go anywhere, just wait at home. Maybe later there is a signal, he will call you.”
Christina Sanchez had to think this optimistically and grabbed the phone into her hand again, “I’ll hang up the phone and have the old man call over and ask for the casualty list. If there really is a Neal in our family, a question will come up.”
“Yes, yes, yes, Mom, you should hurry and ask.”
Christina Sanchez immediately hung up the phone to the old man, Andrea Jones stood aside and waited. The old man once heard Christina Sanchez said this matter, also and they are the same heart seven up and down, a moment dare not delay, a phone call to this moment is doing rescue and evacuation of troops in T city to go.
Once they heard that Master Jiang’s grandson might be listed, they naturally didn’t dare to be slack, and just said they went to check it out and came back with the news immediately.
Christina Sanchez has to worry about Neal Williams and Andrea Jones’ emotional problems.
After waiting for a long time, Christina Sanchez complained, “Why is the old man getting less and less efficient?”
Andrea Jones and Christina Sanchez didn’t move, just looked at each other and took in each other’s fears.
Actually …
Is all without courage.
Who knows if the call will bring good news or bad news.
“It’s better if I do it.” Andrea Jones made up her mind after all and stepped forward to bring the phone to her ear. She was sure his Neal Williams was going to be fine!
“Grandpa.”
“Word came in over there that there was no Neal Williams listed. I’ve asked around and none of their line is listed. The signal is down over there, and it’s being repaired extremely hard right now. You guys wait.”
The old man’s words, Andrea Jones “wow” a cry, crying and laughing, said ‘thank you grandpa’ before hanging up.
Christina Sanchez naturally knew the result when she saw her smile. She was relieved and put her hands in the air, “Thank God, thank God! Bless us that nothing happened to Neal.”
“Don’t worry, Mom, Grandpa said the line over there is down and it will take a while to fix it. When it’s fixed, Neal Williams will be sure to call us.”
“I told you it was a signal problem.” Christina Sanchez was also relieved, “If he’s going to call you again this time, you just tell him to come back, you know? You know the climate is so bad right now, so why go out of your way.”
“Good.” Andrea Jones answered.
Throughout the afternoon and into the evening, the phone was still not working. After the news showed the incident on TV, they started dialing other news. Christina Sanchez had no choice but to go online and search for new developments.
Andrea Jones was distraught, and Christina Sanchez wouldn’t let her near the computer. Overnight, a new list of casualties came out, still without them.
Staying up until late, Andrea Jones finally couldn’t hold it together and went to bed. No news is good news these days.
The following day.
Early in the morning, everyone who was sleeping was awakened by the shrill ringing of the phone in the hall.
Bonnie Williams’ room was closest to the living room, and as soon as she thought it might be Neal Williams calling, she ran out in her pajamas. Immediately after, a room full of people, including Beck Williams, came out.
“Hello.” Bonnie Williams brought the phone to her ear.
There, came an unfamiliar voice. I don’t know what was said, Bonnie Williams the whole person was shocked silly on the spot, holding the phone’s hand began to shake continuously.
“Bonnie Williams?” Beck Williams was the first to snap back to attention, taking a step over and calling out to her daughter.
Looking at her father, Bonnie Williams cried out in pain with a ‘wow’ sound, without warning. Everyone’s heart sank, Beck Williams immediately grabbed the phone and pressed it to his ear.
And then, he also froze.
Andrea Jones was so weak that she couldn’t stand up, and Christina Sanchez? Before anything was asked, she just cried, where was the time to care about Andrea Jones?
“What the hell is going on? Don’t all of you keep quiet!”
“Go to T City! All go! Pack up!” Beck Williams voiced out, biting off every word.
Christina Sanchez looked at the back and asked Bonnie Williams, who was crying, “Don’t just cry, what’s going on? What did they say? You want to say something?
“The team that went with Neal … was found …” Bonnie Williams was shivering with tears, her words breaking off “At the bottom of a cliff, crushed by a car … dead and injured …”
“They called us over there to identify the bodies … said yes, a couple of them were already bloody and they … found from a body … found Neal’s ID card …”
Clear Sky …
Andrea Jones felt the sky spinning, her hands were clutching the couch, but she sat down .
No!
Neal Williams won’t leave her like that!
He had promised himself that he would give her a wedding. She hadn’t had time to be his bride, to commit to a lifetime, let alone to tell him the good news about the baby … How could he just walk away?
The blow was so severe that it knocked Andrea Jones off her feet. She just sat there in a daze, her whole body empty as if her soul had been drained away.
“No! Neal! We Neal … must be a fake, it must be a fake! I can’t believe … Neal is still so young …” Christina Sanchez wailed in agony, her voice harsh, resounding throughout the house and making the heart tremble to hear.
Finally, unable to withstand such a blow, she fell straight down like that, unconscious.
The whole home, a mess.
Christina Sanchez was sent to the hospital, and has been muddled, unconscious, naturally can not go to T city. The old man and the old lady also received the news that it was no longer possible to conceal the news, and indeed, the two old men were admitted to the hospital together.
Beck Williams just had to stay and say hello.
Andrea Jones is not well, plus this heavy blow, more worrying, Shirley Jones then advised her not to go. Standing in the hospital corridor, Andrea Jones cried all at once, crying like an abandoned child, as painful as that.
All the people could not bear to cry. The promenade was enveloped by great hurt and poignancy.
Bonnie Williams went over and embraced Andrea Jones, who didn’t say a word and just bawled her eyes out.
There’s no way she won’t go!
She’s going to see for herself and tell all the people that there is no husband of hers, no father of her children among those who died or were injured!
For her, Neal Williams will live to tell the tale …
He said it … said they were going to be together for the rest of their … lives, not such a short …
