Chapter 1986 Evan And Nicole Arrived
Seconds later, Wilbur got up and dashed toward the garage. He wanted to see for himself that the woman at the beach wasn’t Maya.
“Mr. Simpson, please be careful. I’ll drive,” Jeff said as he opened the door of the passenger seat for Wilbur.
At that moment, Wilbur’s heart was beating frantically when the scene of Maya being pushed into the sea kept replaying in his mind. Therefore, he knew that he shouldn’t drive in that state. Without wasting any time, he walked over and sat in the passenger seat.
As Jeff drove, Wilbur kept urging him to drive faster.
“Mr. Simpson, I’m driving as fast as I can. Please try to calm down. We’ll get there in ten minutes.”
“That’s too long! We have to get there in eight minutes!”
Jeff was speechless. He took a glance at Wilbur. Is Mr. Simpson expecting the car to fly? This is a car, not a plane!
Suddenly, Wilbur’s phone rang, but he didn’t even bother to pick it up. While looking intently at the road, he prayed that it wasn’t Maya.
“Why isn’t he picking up?” Janice muttered as she stared at her phone.
She wanted to know if Wilbur saw the video and how he would react if he did.
Wilbur, don’t be sad! Maya already got together with Noah before she died! I already have the photos on my phone, and I’ll get the media to post them when the time is right. I’m sure you’ll forget her very soon after seeing those pictures. Both of you aren’t destined to be together, anyway. She will never be yours.
Janice tried calling Wilbur again. This time, he picked up almost instantly.
However, she didn’t expect him to speak before she did. “Get lost!” Wilbur yelled.
She was completely stunned.
“W-Wilbur, I-”
Wilbur hung up before she even got the chance to say anything.
A vortex of anger swirled inside her. How can he treat me like this? Is something wrong with him? Or… Has he already seen the post? B-But even if he really did see it, he shouldn’t treat me like this! Wilbur, just you wait! You’ll apologize to me!
Meanwhile, Evan and John had arrived at the beach. Evan stared at the sea with his reddened eyes after getting out of the car.
“Is this the place?” Evan asked shakily from the pain he felt deep within him.
“Yes, Mr. Seet. Please calm down… Maybe that woman isn’t Maya,” John consoled.
“John, get a search and rescue team ready immediately. I don’t care how much it costs; just make sure they find her!” Evan ordered.
“Yes, Mr. Seet!”
After a while, Nicole and Nina had reached the scene as well. Blood drained from Nicole’s face as she looked at the sea. Suddenly, she felt dizzy, and she felt as if she was dreaming instead of being in the real world.
“Maya… Maya…”
“Mommy, calm down. I’m sure Maya is okay,” Nina comforted her.
Nicole was devastated. She looked at the sea as she prayed silently. Dear God, please don’t let anything happen to Maya! Please! She’s still very young! I’m willing to exchange my life with hers! Please make sure she’s okay.
Upon noticing Nicole, Evan immediately rushed toward her. He reached out his hand to steady her, and she lifted her head in response. “Maya’s not here. I’m sure she’s fine! Nothing bad will happen to her!”
“I know, Nicole. I believe that she’ll be okay too. She’s a kind soul, so I’m sure God will protect her!”
Nicole leaned against Evan’s chest and held tightly onto his shirt. At the same time, she continued to stare at the sea. As the water’s surface glistened from the sun’s rays, Nicole felt dizzy eventually. She hoped that this was all just a dream.
Nina looked at Nicole and Evan. Suddenly, she felt her heart ache when she noticed how much her parents had aged.
“Maya, you must be okay! For Daddy and Mommy’s sake, you must be!”
