My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 208

After the speech of the municipal commission secretary, the crowd began to stir. The SWAT team were organizing the orderly evacuation of people, those who wanted to go home could go home, and those who wanted to go live in tents could live in tents.

Just as Kerry was considering whether to found a car or not, Henry’s phone was finally put through.

"Hello? Henry answered. “How it is going? Are you fine, Young Master?" The anxious voice of John was heard.

"I'm fine, but Young Master is hurt."

Then John was busy asking, "Is it serious? Where’s the wound?"

Henry glanced at the wound on Kerry's leg and said, "I think it's quite serious, John please send a car here quickly, Young Master's car is locked in the garage."

"I’ve already sent a car to you, you can contact the driver."

“I get it."

Henry hung up the phone and looked up the driver's number again, but he dialed twice without getting through, and finally got through the third time.

"Taozi, where are you now?"

"I just entered Huaiyang Road, but there is a traffic jam and I can't move at all." Taozi complained.

Hearing this, Kerry said, "Ask him to stop there, Huaiyang Road is about 20 minutes away, we can walk there."

Henry repeated Kerry's words and then hung up the phone.

Kerry said to the Security Department, "Ask some workers to keep an eye on the company in case that some one will make trouble. Tell them whoever stays will be paid five times more than the usual. Figure out the names of those people who had just gone in, they should be rewarded."

"Don't worry Mr.Ye, I'll keep an eye on the company, you’d better care your wounds now."

After arranging all the things, Kerry took Venus and Henry towards Huaiyang Road. The street was chaotic with sewage flowing everywhere. Some children were frightened and kept crying in their mother's arms. Seeing this, Venus eyes were filled with tears.

Kerry caressed Venus’s shoulder and said nothing for he was also very upset and didn’t know what to say.

Ambulances whizzed by from time to time, heading straight to the nearby hospital.

It took them more than forty minutes to walk in such situation where falling billboards and overturned cars were scattering on the road among crowds of people. They were very frightened and suffered an aftershock. Kerry was almost hit by a falling glass for he fixed his attention on Venus.

Taozi was waiting anxiously by the car, and when seeing Kerry, he exclaimed, "Boss, here I am!"

When they got in the car, Venus felt her legs almost numb. Seeing that Venus was pale, Kerry quickly took a bottle of water from the back and opened it to her, "Drink some water."

Venus said "thanks" and grabbed the bottle and drank. Just now she was very nervous, and now she felt thirsty and hungry after being relaxed.

The car was moving slowly towards the villa, the driver prepared to stop for there were people running form time to time, he was afraid of hitting them.

"Taozi, turn on the car radio." Kerry frowned.

Taozi turned on the radio, which was broadcasting the earthquake in Sky City.

It turned out that the earthquake they had just experienced measured 7.8 in magnitude, the epicenter was in the eastern suburbs of Sky City. The urban areas were fine, but the suburbs were fiercely ruined, leaving countless dilapidated houses.

Experts in the Seismological Bureau urged the general public to try to stay in high ground to avoid a tsunami.

"I don't know the condition in the construction site," Kerry was very worried.

"Don't worry, Young Master, I’ll have a look after I send you back." Henry said sitting on the passenger side.

Kerry stared at the gloomy sky outside, "Just call Kai from the engineering department first, he's the company representative stationed at the project, he should be there at this moment."

"Okay."

Henry dialed Kai's number several times, but he couldn't get through for the poor signal. Just when he was about to give up, the phone suddenly went through, and Henry handed the phone to Kerry.

"Kai, this is Kerry, is everything fine in the construction site? Are there any casualties?"

"President Ye, the workers just came down for lunch when the earthquake happened, so no one was injured, and now everyone is staying outside, but several overhead shelf were hit."
