Chapter 278

"Did you catch her?"

Lawrence didn't waste any time.

Harold's expression shifted, and he looked down. "I'll get more guys and go after her right now."

"Hold on."

Lawrence frowned. "I'll handle Elise myself. You take your team and follow Emily's car. Make sure she gets home safe and let me know when she's there."

Emily had just gotten off the plane, and the Wilson family had already sent a bunch of bodyguards to tail her. Maybe they caught wind of the Sanchez family's moves.

That's probably why they ramped up security around Emily.

Now Elise had vanished. The enemy was lurking, and who knows what crazy stuff they might pull. But there was no way he could let anything happen to Emily.

Since Emily didn't want him to be seen by Ezra and the others, he had to keep his distance. He'd only relax once she was home safe.

Harold understood that at this critical moment, nothing was more important than Emily's safety.

"Got it, Mr. Parker."

Harold knew the route to Emerald Heights, where Emily lived, like the back of his hand. He took his men and followed her car.

Meanwhile, Lawrence sorted out his affairs and drove towards the Lustrous Glass District, where Elise was hiding.

The Lustrous Glass District was near the mountains. If he didn't catch Elise quickly and she bolted into the mountains, finding her would be a nightmare.

Halfway there, the car radio suddenly blared an emergency news report.

"Just ten minutes ago, a major accident occurred on the Bridge of Horizons, the main hub road in Emerald City. A car suddenly caught fire, causing collisions involving over a hundred vehicles, with heavy casualties..."

Bridge of Horizons?

Lawrence urgently shouted, "Stop the car!"

"Turn up the radio."

The bodyguard, startled, quickly followed Lawrence's orders.

The last part of the broadcast came through, "Emergency personnel are already on the scene. Please avoid the area and give way to emergency vehicles."

"Call Harold and find out where Emily is right now."

Lawrence was already sweating, his palms trembling. He had the bodyguard contact Harold, who was following Emily.

Emily's home in Emerald Heights was by the sea, and the route there crossed the Bridge of Horizons.

Based on the timing, she was probably on the bridge right now...

Lawrence's mind went blank at the thought.

No, this can't be happening!

She had so many people protecting her; she had to be safe.

Lawrence didn't want to picture the worst, but the casualty numbers from the news kept replaying in his mind.

Over a hundred vehicles involved, with heavy casualties...

So many people caught in the accident. What if Emily was one of them?

The thought of her lying in a pool of blood made Lawrence dizzy. He forced himself to stay upright until Harold's call came through.

But the noise on the other end of the line shattered his last hope.

The call was from Harold, but someone else was speaking.

"Mr. Parker, Mr. Rogers was injured by the explosion while trying to rescue Mrs. Parker's vehicle. He's unconscious at the scene..."

Before the bodyguard could say more, the voice of medical personnel came through the phone.

"The patient is severely injured and needs immediate surgery. Any delay could be fatal."

After that, the call was filled with static and then disconnected.

Lawrence's face turned pale instantly.

The bodyguard had said Harold was injured while rescuing Emily's vehicle, which meant Emily was at the scene, and...

He couldn't believe it. He refused to believe Emily was really in danger.

Not long ago, she was with him, wishing him a happy birthday.

How could things suddenly turn into this?

If Harold was severely injured while trying to rescue her, what about Emily...

Was he going to lose her forever?

Their child hadn't been born yet, and he hadn't expressed his feelings to her. How could she leave him like this?

Hospital.

The Bridge of Horizons accident brought hundreds of patients to the hospital, filling the lobby with their families.

The scene was chaotic.

On the way, Lawrence had already used his connections to track Emily's information.

No matter what had happened to her, he needed to know where she was. He had to see her.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any information about Emily.

He couldn't even find the details of the vehicle she was in.

Lawrence suspected the Wilson family had blocked the information.

But when he entered the hospital to look for her, Ezra and Gray were equally stunned by the news of the Bridge of Horizons accident.

Listening to the emergency news on his phone, Gray's hands trembled.

"How could this happen..."

When Emily disembarked from Lawrence's private yacht, he had specifically sent people to pick her up.

That car was his.

But now Emily was on that bridge, where an unprecedented explosion had occurred...

Emily was in trouble!

No way.

Gray couldn't believe what he was hearing, but the fact was that the Bridge of Horizons was the only way home for Emily.

As soon as the accident happened, all the bodyguards escorting Emily lost contact.

Everything indicated that Emily was involved in the accident.

He had brought Emily back, only to put her in mortal danger.

He knew someone wanted to harm Emily. Why couldn't he have been more vigilant?

Gray was filled with regret and surrounded by immense grief, but he couldn't collapse now.

William was still recovering at home, and he couldn't know about this.

William adored Emily. If he found out she died in a car accident, he might have a heart attack...

Gray immediately contacted the Wilson family's bodyguards to block all external information, especially today's news, from reaching William.

Then he found Ezra and told him about the situation.

They rushed to the nearest hospital to the scene.

After asking everyone, they couldn't find Emily's name, and their hearts sank. They were about to head to the scene to look for clues about Emily.

But they unexpectedly ran into Lawrence, who was rushing to the hospital entrance.

Seeing Lawrence, they were filled with rage and grabbed him by the collar, dragging him to a nearby empty lot.

The bodyguards saw this and were about to intervene, but Lawrence stopped them. "Stay back."

Ezra and Gray were not only Emily's uncles but also his uncles in name. He couldn't resist being disciplined by his elders.

But he had to know Emily's current situation. "Ezra, where is Emily now..."

Hearing Lawrence dare to mention Emily's name, Ezra's face darkened, and he couldn't hold back his anger. He punched Lawrence in the face.
