Getting My Ex-wife Back

Alvin looked at her back and felt somewhat surprised. This figure in front of him was very familiar. He turned his head and caught sight of the flickers in Hansen’s deep eyes, the dimming eyes as dark as paint.

She said as if deep in thought, “Mr. Richards, the conditions here are too harsh. It’s likely that the children buried in the ruins have little hope of surviving. Now that there’s freezing rain outside and the children’s bodies are in very bad shape, it’s difficult for them to pull through.”

There was a loud cry coming from the tent.

Amy and the more sensible child began to cry. Hansen fastened his gaze at the woman. Her head was even lowered now, and her face was still obstructed from view. However, even without thinking, he could tell that she was heartbroken.

Hansen’s heart sank.

Taking out his mobile phone, he called the director of the Public Security Department in S City directly. The director attached great importance to this. He responded immediately that he had already sent firefighters to come here overnight.

There was only one reporter here. After he’d learned about this school through the Internet, he arrived here with great difficulty. In order to increase public awareness about what had happened here, he was burning the candle at both ends.

Finally, at noon, the firefighters arrived and started a more substantial search-and-rescue operation.

They almost combed the entire school. In addition to rescuing eight more children, the remaining six had unfortunately died, and the children who had been rescued were treated by the first-aid team before they were quickly sent to the nearby hospital by the medical staff. When everything was almost done, night had fallen on the area once again.

In the evening, Hansen was so famished that his stomach looked as if it had collapsed in on itself.

They had already polished off all the supplies that they had brought with them.

Some villagers began to collect materials to make a fire. The members of the Grand Grand Eagles were all exhausted and sleepy, and as they lay in the tent, they slowly dozed off.

When Hansen summoned the village chief to enquire about the situation, he felt that the loose ends of the situation had been tied. At this time, the reporters who were watching him were about to interview him, but Hansen was unwilling to leave his name. He immediately made up an excuse to leave.

He was solely here for that figure.

At this time, he was tenaciously trying to confirm whether the figure was Jenna or not.

No matter what, this time, he must find out who the woman was. Judging from everything that had happened in the last two days, it seemed to be very likely that it was her.

He turned around to look for Jenna outside, but he couldn’t find her. Then, he entered the tent, but she was still not sighted.

In an instant, he had a bad feeling in his heart. This feeling was too familiar. Just like what had happened over a year ago, he went looking for her, only for her to have disappeared inexplicably. This feeling almost sent his heart into tremors.

“Alvin, quickly search the tents in the vicinity. I want to find that female teacher.” With panic setting in, Hansen instructed Alvin.

At this moment, he thought of a more serious problem. If the woman was really Jenna, had the baby in her belly been born safely? If it was born safely, it should be a year old now! Where was the baby now? Was it safe?

Thinking about this, he felt that he had forgotten such an important matter for the past few days. He felt extremely regretful in his heart and became even more anxious.

As he searched every tent, he asked the members of the Grand Eagles to help in the search. However, once again, he got the same result as he did a year ago. The woman had disappeared, as if she had never existed before.

Hansen gaped in astonishment!

Was the woman he had seen in the past two days just an illusion? Had it never existed? Or was it just a ghost? Was it a fantasy in his mind? Otherwise, how could it have disappeared like this without a trace!

It was too mysterious!

“Connor, how many female teachers are there in this school?” He hurriedly called over the village chief, Connor Goggins, and asked in detail.

Connor knew that he was looking for someone, but he didn’t know who was missing. He hurriedly ran over and heard him ask. After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said, “To be honest, there are so many children in this school. Yet only one woman is in charge. There were two other teachers, a man, and a woman, but they would go home after class. So, strictly speaking, there is only one teacher who is responsible for teaching these kids, Miss Amy.”

When Hansen heard this, he was even more surprised. He couldn’t help but to ask, “Then who was the woman who helped here these past two days?”

“What woman?” Connor was puzzled when he heard Hansen’s question.

This made Hansen’s heart palpitate even more.

“It’s that woman. She had been saving the children all this while. She was the one who was busy cleaning the children’s wounds in the tent.” Hansen was practically shouting.

“Ah, that one. I remember now. I heard Amy say that a volunteer teacher has come to the school recently. She didn’t ask for any salary and was willing to come to teach the children. However, because she’s not in the teachers list and I don’t usually come here, I had already forgotten about this matter.” Connor remembered and patted his thigh with an embarrassed expression on his face.

“What’s her name? Is she called Jenna Murphy? How long has she been here?” Hansen asked as if he had obtained precious information.

Everything indicated that this woman was likely to be Jenna, his ex-wife.

“Well, I’m really not sure about the details. In recent years, after Amy had exposed the school on the internet, there were often outsiders who came to send supplies to help out. There were also some volunteers who came to teach. If you want the details, you’d have to find Miss Amy. How about this, I’ll call her over now.” Connor saw that Hansen’s expression was getting colder and colder. He was certain that the noble savior who was in front of him must have come for that woman. Judging from his noble appearance and the aura that he had never seen before, he knew that he could not afford to offend such a noble person. Thus, he immediately ran to get Amy.

After a while, Amy jogged over.

“Miss Amy, where is that woman? She was helping to tend to the children with you,” Hansen asked when he saw Amy. He had lost his usual aloofness.

“Ah, are you talking about Miss Lewis? She might have already left.” When Amy heard Hansen’s question and saw that his expression was a little gloomy, she couldn’t help but to ask curiously, “What’s wrong?”

“What is her name?” Hansen stared at her again and asked, “Is she called Jenna?”

“Jenna?” Amy responded as if she had never heard of that name before. She blinked her eyes and shook her head. “Well, I only know that she is called Miss Lewis. Her surname is Lewis. As for the person named Jenna, I’ve never heard of her.”

“Miss Lewis?” Hansen’s face was as dark as the sky before rain. “You mean her surname is Lewis?”

“Uh-huh, we all called her Miss Lewis.” Amy nodded her head again to confirm.

“How long has she been here?”

“It’s been almost half a year.”

“Any family members? Is she a local? If not, where did she come from?” Hansen asked everything that was in his mind.

Looking at the increasingly terrifying face of Hansen, Amy became a little scared. It seemed that the handsome man in front of her was not cute at all. He could even be called overbearing. At this moment, it was as if he was interrogating prisoners.

After thinking for a moment, she said, “Miss Lewis is not a local. She came here half a year ago. At that time, she saw that the school was desperately in need of help, and she also sponsored some money into repairing this school. She also bought a lot of learning supplies for her students. They were all fond of her. When she had nothing to do, she also came to school every day to be a teacher. Initially, she got along very well with her students. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened and this earthquake changed everything.”

Amy’s answer was very detailed, but Hansen did not hear what he wanted at all. He could not help but to ask again, “Do you know where she came from? What’s her name? How old is she? Is there anyone else in her family?”

After hearing this, Amy shook her head helplessly and said, “She didn’t want to reveal her full name, so we just called her Miss Lewis. The children were used to calling her Miss Lewis as well. As for where she came from, her age, we don’t know, and we never wanted to pry. She never talked about the people at home, nor her personal affairs. She hung out with us at times. Her character is very positive and optimistic. All the students were willing to play with her.”

Only now did Amy realize that this Miss Lewis, who had been with her for half a year, was actually a complete mystery.

Hansen knew that he wouldn’t be able to get any answers from her. With a final shred of hope in his heart, he asked, “Then, you know where she lives, don’t you? Hurry up and take us there.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

This question soon drove Hansen crazy again. In front of him, Amy still shook her head and said with a sad face, “She came over every day and went home late in the afternoon. I’ve asked her about it before, but she only said that she lived in the town. As for where she is, I really don’t know. She never invited me to her house. I really have no idea.”

Hansen was completely dumbfounded.

Only then did he regret not approaching her in the past two days they had been working together. He had lost his only chance to find out the truth.

He was clearly trying his luck, but he was afraid that they would be separated by another thousand miles, and that they would never see each other again.

He was in a foul mood.

However, since this was still a disaster area at the moment, the traffic was bad and the road was blocked. It was not easy to leave here in a short time, not to mention how weak she was. She could not have gone far.

“Alvin, John, quick, lead your men to search in several directions, and focus their efforts on the town first.” Hansen hastily instructed them and took the lead towards the direction of the small town.

However, when he went out, he found that it was not so easy to find a person here. There were mountains surrounding them, many different paths, and they were all unnamed. When he went to the town, it was already beyond recognition. Almost all the buildings had collapsed and destroyed, and there was no way to find anyone.

All the people in the tent were gathered outside. The only thing he could do was to search them one by one. After searching for a while, he was completely discouraged.

It was clear that she didn’t want to see him. Even after knowing that he was present, she didn’t want to reunite with him and didn’t even want to talk to him.

During the entire process, she had only spoken a single sentence, and that was the number of children. The rest of the time she had spent it by bending over and treating the kids.

Hansen’s heart grew heavier and heavier. His vexation was bottomless.

“D*mned woman, did I do anything to deserve this?”

“Why are you treating me like I’m some fierce beast?”

“Do you even have a heart?”

As he had expected, John and Alvin also came back empty-handed.
