He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 771: Chapter 771: I Will Light Up Your World

Daniel Marshall continued to protect Olivia Jenkins with his body, holding her close.

With an extremely gentle voice, Daniel Marshall soothed Olivia’s emotions, “Honey, we’re still alive, we’re blessed. We’re still the luckiest people, and heaven is watching over us. Aftershocks are still occurring, so we need to conserve our energy to wait for rescue. Don’t cry, we’ll be safe.”

Daniel Marshall’s words were rational, and Olivia Jenkins stopped crying.

Daniel Marshall’s deep voice resounded in Olivia’s ears like a mellifluous cello, stirring her heart, “Honey, even if there’s another disaster, I’ll protect you with my life to the end. This life of mine is devoted to you, Olivia Jenkins, till death do us part.”

“…”

“With me here, you can truly rest assured. I won’t let you be harmed. You’re the sunshine in my heart. Even in this darkness, I am your light. I will illuminate your world.”

“…”

“Honey, if you’re scared, just hold onto me tightly. Close your eyes, think of me, pretend we’re on a boat, and it’s just the movement of the boat that’s making us sway.”

“…”

“I have my phone with me. Let’s see if there’s a signal so that we can send them a message. If you’re scared of the darkness, it’s okay, the light from the phone can give us a moment of peace.”

Daniel Marshall took out his phone, but there was no signal, and he couldn’t make any calls.

Possibly because of the earthquake, the signal had been interrupted.

The light of Daniel Marshall’s phone brought a sense of peace to Olivia Jenkins.

“Honey, let’s watch a video to take our minds off things instead of scaring ourselves. Rescue will come soon. They’ll definitely do something to save us if they’re fine.”

Olivia Jenkins stopped crying, her emotions becoming calm, “Let’s save some battery in case we need the phone later. We don’t know when we’ll get out, but at least we can use it to make our voices heard, letting people outside know we’re here.”

Suddenly, another aftershock struck, causing a severe shaking.

Instinctively, Daniel Marshall held Olivia Jenkins tightly, using his body to protect her and ensuring that she would be the one to survive if it came to that.

Olivia Jenkins didn’t speak, but she was deeply touched inside.

She held onto Daniel Marshall as tight as she could, comforted by his familiar scent. With him there, hearing his voice, Olivia Jenkins gradually calmed down. She was no longer feeling frantic or frightened.

In this time of crisis, unexpectedly, it is Daniel Marshall who is with her, protecting her. Perhaps, this is their fate!

Regardless of good times or bad, they were together.

…

When they were counting heads, Simon Howard and Valerie Howard could not see Daniel Marshall and Olivia Jenkins.

Perhaps they hadn’t been able to evacuate in time and were still in the building.

Simon Howard told everyone to take care of themselves and not to wander off, as he planned to go back into the building to search for them.

“Everyone who isn’t injured can assist the local community leaders in setting up camp and comforting the elderly and children. The rest of us who are fit and able, join me in the search and rescue, ensuring your own safety first.”

Valerie Howard also spoke up, “We have a first aid kit in our troupe. Let’s bandage those with minor injuries. We’ve brought out some water and food as well, distribute them to those in need first, let’s get through this together.”

David Jefferson was the first to respond, standing behind Simon Howard, ready to join the search.

The rest of the young and capable men in the troupe also stood up.

The director, who was feeling guilty, also stood up.
