The color drained out of John’s face. He immediately opened his WhatsApp and read the message
Davin had sent him.
Indeed, it was the flight that Evan took.
His phone fell to the ground with a thud.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Lindt?”
“Are you okay?”
It took John a while to tell the others what happened. “Something happened to Mr. Seet’s flight!”
…
Just when Nicole was about to leave for her company, she saw John and a few men arrived at
the Imperial Garden.
What is John doing here? He’s supposed to be in K Nation with Evan, right?
“Are you okay, Mrs. Seet?”
Nicole paused for a moment. “You can’t call me Mrs. Seet yet. Where’s Evan? Why are you back?”
Something was amiss with all the expressions on all their faces. Something had happened?
Nicole’s heart sank. “Is there anything you want to tell me?”
John initially thought Nicole must have found out about the plane crash from the news, but apparently,
she knew nothing about it.
All of a sudden, John did not know how to tell Nicole about the incident. “Mr. Seet… he…”
“What? Just tell me!”
The words were stuck in John’s throat as he could not bring himself to tell Nicole the news.
Just when he hesitated, Nicole’s phone rang.
It was an unknown caller.
“Who is this?”
“What a jinx you are, Nicole Lane! What have you done to Evan! Go kill yourself!”
It was Lisa’s voice. She instantly screamed at Nicole when the phone got through.
Nicole had absolutely no idea what just happened.
“Excuse me? Did you call the wrong person?”
“Trying to act like you don’t know anything huh? The private plane Evan took has crashed, and he died
in the incident! It’s all your fault! You’re a jinx!”
Evan is dead?
Plane crash? He died?
Nicole was utterly thunderstruck. She turned around and looked at John and the guards he came with.
Everyone lowered their heads and kept mum.
She had a bad feeling about this.
They’re kidding, aren’t they?
Evan…
All of a sudden, she blacked out and fell onto the ground.
By the time she woke up, Sheila was sitting by her side.
The moment Nicole opened her eyes, Sheila immediately grabbed her hand. “You’re awake.”
“I had a dream earlier, Sheila. Someone told me something bad had happened to Evan. How can I
even dream of something like this?”
Nicole then slapped herself on her cheek.
“How can I dream of something like that!”
Sheila, whose eyes had also turned red, grabbed hold of her wrist to stop her from punishing herself.
“I’m not good at comforting people, but please stay calm. Please.”
Nicole raised her head and saw Sheila’s teary eyes. At that point, she finally realized it was not a
dream. It was a painful reality that she could not snap out of.
“He might not have taken that flight, right? Yes, that must be it. Someone else must have taken that
flight.”
Sheila did not know what else to say.
She did not have the heart to tell Nicole that she was sorry for her loss. She did not want to dash her
hopes.
But…
The aircraft crashed by the sea.
Some parts of the aircraft fell into the sea, while some scattered all over the coast.
And among the debris, the rescue team found a wristwatch.
It was a custom-made watch, which had the name “Evan” carved at the back.
Davin had the exact watch that had his own name too.
These exclusive watches were gifts from Russell, and they held a special place in Evan’s heart, and he
would always carry the watch with him.
This had ascertained Evan was a casualty of this aviation tragedy.
John could also confirm that Evan had indeed boarded the aircraft.
Sheila was so worried about Nicole, but she could only try her best to console her.
