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 wasnât Maya.
âMr. Simpson, please be careful. Iâll drive,â Jeff said as he opened the door of the passenger seat for Wilbur.
At that moment, Wilburâs heart was beating frantically when the scene of Maya being pushed into the sea kept replaying in his mind. Therefore, he knew that he shouldnât 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.
âMr. Simpson, Iâm driving as fast as I can. Please try to calm down. Weâll get there in ten minutes.â
âThatâs too long! We have to get there in eight minutes!â
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, Wilburâs phone rang, but he didnât even bother to pick it up. While looking intently at the road, he prayed that it wasnât Maya.
âWhy isnât he picking up?â 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, donât be sad! Maya already got together with Noah before she died! I already have the photos on my phone, and Iâll get the media to post them when the time is right. Iâm sure youâll forget her very soon after seeing those pictures. Both of you arenât destined to be together, anyway. She will never be yours.
Janice tried calling Wilbur again. This time, he picked up almost instantly.
However, she didnât expect him to speak before she did. âGet lost!â Wilbur yelled.
She was completely stunned.
âW-Wilbur, I-â
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 shouldnât treat me like this! Wilbur, just you wait! Youâll 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.
âIs this the place?â Evan asked shakily from the pain he felt deep within him.
âYes, Mr. Seet. Please calm down⦠Maybe that woman isnât Maya,â John consoled.
âJohn, get a search and rescue team ready immediately. I donât care how much it costs; just make sure they find her!â Evan ordered.
âYes, Mr. Seet!â
After a while, Nicole and Nina had reached the scene as well. Blood drained from Nicoleâs 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.
âMaya⦠Mayaâ¦â
âMommy, calm down. Iâm sure Maya is okay,â Nina comforted her.
Nicole was devastated. She looked at the sea as she prayed silently. Dear God, please donât let anything happen to Maya! Please! Sheâs still very young! Iâm willing to exchange my life with hers! Please make sure sheâs okay.
Upon noticing Nicole, Evan immediately rushed toward her. He reached out his hand to steady her, and she lifted her head in response. âMayaâs not here. Iâm sure sheâs fine! Nothing bad will happen to her!â
âI know, Nicole. I believe that sheâll be okay too. Sheâs a kind soul, so Iâm sure God will protect her!â
Nicole leaned against Evanâs chest and held tightly onto his shirt. At the same time, she continued to stare at the sea. As the waterâs surface glistened from the sunâs 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.
âMaya, you must be okay! For Daddy and Mommyâs sake, you must be!â
