Chapter 966 Find Her, Whether Dead Or Alive (2/2)

Two rows of bloody tears were streaking along his cheeks. Jacob wa

words. He managed to turn over and crawled back to the fire that he had been brought out of only a minute ago.

He couldn't leave without his wife. He couldn't go away and leave Emily here alone.

If Emily had been killed in this fire, he would rather be burned to death in the same flames than live alone in this world. With this faith, Jacob headed to the fire on all fours. He gritted his teeth and getting there was the only thing on his mind.

”You're asking for death, Jacob. Let me take care of this!” Michelle shouted and stopped him going any further. ”Look, I'll try my best to find her. Please, trust me. You need medical attention immediately. You will die before her, if you insist on staying here!”

”It's none of your business,” Jacob barely hissed the harsh sounding words, but Michelle heard him.

He kept moving to the fire with a determination that Michelle had never seen before. It seemed that nothing could hold him back.

Michelle sighed hopelessly, overwhelmed by a feeling of utter desperation. She then narrowed her eyes firmly. Moving close to him, she firmly raised her hand and delivered a swift blow to the back of Jacob's neck.

”Emily is dead. She is dead, Jacob,” she murmured as she squatted down and put her hand on his back.

Suddenly, Seamus jumped to his feet and burst into laughter, facing the flaming fires. But then he began crying in deep sorrow.

Michelle paid no attention to him and said to her men, ”Hurry up! Keep searching! Now!”

Among the vast green mountains, the small village looked as tiny as a spindrift in the ocean, but not for the people who were born here and lived here. The survivors were looking at it with all manners of desperate expressions. Women were in tears and men clenched their fists to hold their emotions, thinking of how to rebuild it. On the top of a nearby mountain, a man was standing with a telescope in his hands, observing the situation around the burning village.

He smiled carelessly and watched it for a long moment. As he confirmed that everything was going as expected, he took the telescope from his eyes and turned to look at the unconscious woman lying behind him. His smile became even wider.
