My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Chapter 1536 The Critical Moment (Part One)

"Major General Gu!" The soldiers weren't expecting the aftershock to hit so quickly. As soon as the aftershock stopped, they called out for their Major General.

"Help him! Hurry up!" Lee yelled, his face pale as death, as he picked up a shovel and began to excavate the ruins. He hoped that Kevin was able to find a safe place to protect himself from the rubble.

"Hurry up, guys! And be careful not to hurt him!" the Platoon Leader demanded and joined in with the other soldiers to find Kevin.

At that moment, Leena was drinking lemonade in a cafe. As she was about to take the glass, it slipped from her hand and smashed on the floor. As she looked at the shattered pieces on the floor, her heart fluttered with an ominous anxiety.

'Why is this happening? Why do I have this horrible feeling?' she asked herself. She bent over to pick up the broken glass, but she cut her finger on a sharp fragment and blood oozed out. "Ow!" she gasped and looked at her bleeding finger.

She panicked and wondered, 'Is everything okay in S City? Why am I seeing so many bad omens today?'

The secret guard sent by Jonathan quickly appeared before Leena when he heard the sound of glass breaking. "Oh my god, are you okay? You're bleeding! Let me wrap your finger up," he said, furrowing his brows when he saw that she was hurt.

"Adonis, could you call your master and ask him if everything is all right in S City?" It was the first time that Leena had made a request to him after she had left S City. She grew more and more restless. She just had to make sure that there was nothing wrong.

"Sure, I'll call him. But only after I finish bandaging your finger. And please remember, do not pick up the fragments again. Just ask the waitress or use a broom if you wish to clean it yourself," he said in a soft voice. Adonis was his code name in the organization, and he had already forgotten his real name.

"Okay." Anxious as she was, she had to listen to Adonis. She knew that he was Jonathan's right hand man and was capable of taking care of everything. No matter which country she went, he was able to learn about their local culture and give her advice.

While Adonis talked to Jonathan on the phone, Leena waited anxiously.

"Master said that nothing out of ordinary has happened in S City. An earthquake occurred in a domestic coastal city, but S City was not affected," Adonis said in a reassuring voice. Adonis knew that Jonathan wouldn't lie to him. And even if there was a big accident in S City, Jonathan would call him immediat

ms across his chest and leaning against the wall. It was late at night, and he was in a horrible mood because of Kevin's accident.

"I think we should inform Leena about this. She may come back after hearing the news," Belinda said, looking at Edward, because only he could do this.

"Okay. I'm calling dad now. But I'm not sure if she will come back," he said. Edward also believed that Leena would come back after learning about Kevin's accident. Kevin was at death's door. There was no way that she would ignore such a situation. He knew that she would probably come running.

Leena was sitting in a cafe in an old town in El Salvador, listening to folk music. She really loved places like these, as she felt at ease there.

She saw Adonis walking up to her in a hurry. He looked anxious. "Master just called. Uh... Something has happened," he said, hesitating. Leena felt a chill run through her spine.

"What happened?" Leena stood abruptly and knocked a vase over. Water spilled from the vase and wet her pants. But she didn't care.

"Major General Gu was trapped in the debris during the aftershocks of the earthquake which had occurred earlier. He had been engaged in rescue and relief work there. He has been seriously injured and is undergoing an operation as we speak," Adonis said and he watched Leena's expression closely.

"Operation? No, this can't be true!" Leena was gripped by panic. It looked like her gut feeling was right all along.

She started trembling and was about to fall. Adonis quickly held her shoulders and supported her. He tried to calm her down. "If you want to go back, I can arrange it. You can fly back immediately," he said in a firm voice.
