Chapter 488
"You're as worried about Brayden, Sylvia and Godfather as I am. Can you really sit down at home?"
Jenna's comment left Mrs. Wright speechless.
She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
In her eyes, they were her children. No matter when, she did everything she could to protect them.
But she forgot that they had grown up.
She was old, and she just wanted everyone she cared about to be safe and sound. She didn't say
anything else, but stood up, took down the hat in the doorway and helped Jenna put it on. She went
back to her room and quickly changed into a down jacket, a pair of down pants and black cotton shoes.
She began to pack some food and clothing inside the home and put all of them in a large suitcase.
Then she looked at Jenna, "Let's go. You're right, sitting at home and waiting is not a solution. I am the
mayor's wife. I should also do my part for the people in the disaster area."
Her words sent a wave of warmth through Jenna's heart.
Mrs. Wright, on the other hand, sent a Facebook message in a chat group of wealthy ladies.
[I'm going to the disaster area. All those who want to donate supplies can give them to me. I'm now
contacting the government officials who will deliver supplies to the disaster area every day].
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The ladies in the group immediately responded positively.
In less than half an hour, a lot of supplies were delivered to the entrance of Wright Residence.
The big black trucks carrying supplies were chugging madly in the direction of Southwest Town.
It was very difficult to drive because of the heavy rain.
On the way, Mrs. Wright and Jenna kept calling Brayden and Sylvia, but no matter what, they couldn't
get through.
Mrs. Wright had a sink feeling.
Three hours later, the truck approached the southwest.
After a short break at the highway service station, the group set off again on the way to Southwest
town.
Another hour passed. As the rain became heavier and heavier, after leaving from the highway, it was
more difficult to drive the car.
The entire town was in ruins after the earthquake. The path was very difficult, with rocks and rubble
everywhere.
The supplies truck finally arrived in Southwest Town.
It was late in the evening and this was the hardest hit area. After Mrs. Wright and Jenna got out of the
car, Mrs. Wright and she changed into rain shoes together and walked towards the front.
Mayor Cody was sitting inside the tent, having a meeting with the village chief and the soldiers.
Mrs. Wright quietly lifted a corner of the tent and looked inside through the gap, and saw Mayor Cody's
haggard appearance. After just a few days, his hair seemed to have gone gray.
His face was pale and black stubble grew on his chin.
His eye sockets were deeply sunken and looked like he had not rested for days and nights.
Mrs. Wright could not help but feel sorrowful and distressed.
She quietly lowered the tent curtain, sighed, and retreated.
Jenna whispered to her, "Godmother, why aren't you going in?"
"Don't disturb their meeting." Mrs. Wright smiled gently and said nothing more.
Jenna took a look around and headed outside, "I'm going to go outside and check."
"Jenna, you stay put. It's dangerous out there." Mrs. Wright stepped forward and took her by the arm.
"Don't make me worry."
"I just wanted to check out the medical center and see if there was anything I could do." Jenna draped
herself in her raincoat, "I won't run around."
She took a big step out into the rain. Usually, this muddy road was very difficult to walk on, not to
mention it was raining heavily now.
She stumbled into the tent of the medical center, only to see all the medical staff inside busy.
She gritted her teeth and walked up to an aged male doctor, "I'm Sylvia's sister. I'd like to come over
and help. Is that okay?"
"Have you studied medicine?" The male doctor looked up at the girl in front of him while he was
bandaging the wounded, "Are you certified as a physician?"
Jenna shook her head and heard the other person ask her again, "Are you certified as a nurse?"
She shook her head again.
"Then don't disturb me. Hurry up and go aside." The male doctor bandaged the injured villager's arm,
then raised his voice and said, "Move him away! Next one!"
Jenna bit her lip when she saw two female villagers who appeared to be in their thirties walk in at that
moment.
She leaned down as well and helped them to carry the wounded villager to the hay-piled ground not far
away, which was his temporary "sickbed".
She didn't know nursing or medicine, so she'd been here for nearly two hours and assisted them in Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
lifting patients.
She had never done anything at Wright Residence, and this was the first time in her life that she had
done this kind of physical work.
She sat panting in the corner and wiped the beads of sweat from the top of her forehead.
Just then, suddenly, a man rushed into the tent, "Medical team, be quick! There's another batch of the
wounded being sent back! Get to the door!"
A team of busy nurses and doctors immediately rushed out with their medical kits. Seeing this, Jenna
hurried to follow those several women.
Outside the tent, there was a truck with many villagers lying or sitting on it. The air was thick with the
smell of blood.
Some of the villagers had fainted, some had dishevelled hair and dirty face, and none were in good
condition.
They were all victims who had just been rescued from inside the rubble.
Jenna was shocked. Watching on TV had been shocking enough.
When she really saw this scene right in front of her eyes, it was as if a hammer had hit her heart hard.
Her chest hurt so much.
She rushed over incredulously and carried these injured victims to the stretcher together with everyone
else.
Some had broken legs ... Some lost their arms, some ... lost both legs and feet.
It was so cruel.
She held back her tears and carried these people forward, even though she no longer had the strength
to do so.
