Chapter 304 Critical Condtion
Kate clutched her chest and quickly followed, with Hendrick and Linus flanking her on either side.
Being taller, they saw what was ahead before she did.
When they saw the scene, they instinctively stopped Kate from moving forward and one of them quickly covered her eyes.
“Kate, you shouldn’t see this. Please, just trust us,” Hendrick gently coaxed her, guiding her away.
Kate paused, then asked anxiously, “Is it Eric?”
“No,” Hendrick replied firmly.
Hearing this, Kate sighed in relief and let Hendrick lead her away without further protest.
Meanwhile, the two cars were lodged in a pile of rocks, half–buried. One of the black SUVs had a severely damaged front as if it had plunged from a great height.
The driver had no time to escape and was pinned in the deformed vehicle, lifeless.
His body twisted unnaturally, drained of blood, and ghostly pale from the rain.
In the backseat, another lifeless, almost unrecognisable figure was wedged in the door.
The driver of the other car was in a similar state.
It was a gruesome sight, one that Kate certainly didn’t need to see, especially with Eric still missing.
The team members looked grim but proceeded to identify the bodies and assess the situation.
George’s expression turned icy. Noticing the wolf head tattoos on the arms of the dead men, he clenched his fists.
They were definitely from that organisation.
The cars contained guns, but they had been destroyed in the crash.
While these two cars were wrecked and full of bodies, Eric’s car, though also badly damaged, hadn’t left any bodies or limbs at the scene.
This gave them a glimmer of hope that Eric and the others might still be alive.
Kate clung to this hope and led the team in a thorough search of the entire mountainside, especially around the crash site.

As night fell, the temperature in the mountains dropped significantly.

Despite the cold, Kate stubbornly continued to search for clues in the rain–swept terrain.
Near midnight, a rescue team reported finding Lucas barely alive in a partially collapsed cave.
Everyone rushed over to find Lucas lying on the ground, his breathing weak. They quickly got him onto a stretcher and into an ambulance.
Unfortunately, they found no other survivors.
After leaving a few teams to continue the search, Kate was forcibly taken back to the car, and they hurried back to Melvern City, where Lucas was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery.
Lucas was in critical condition when found.
He had multiple fractures, severe abrasions, and cuts, likely from jumping out of the car during the crash and the subsequent fall.
He had then stumbled into the cave and passed out from blood loss.
The surgery lasted until morning.
Despite her worry, exhaustion overtook Kate, and she dozed off, only to be plagued by nightmares.
When she woke up, the operating room light had just gone off.
Everyone gathered as Lucas was wheeled out, covered in tubes and breathing weakly.
