Why it never ends

Chapter 948 Rescue

"It's really not right to ask. How do you expect them to answer?" Rico repeatedly adjusted the reclining angle of the chair. "Those 'rebels' are their relatives, neighbors, and even family members. How could they have never seen them before? But if they say this in Emanlia, they will be expelled soon."

Hesta lowered her eyes slightly as she sat in the passenger seat, deep in thought.

Rico stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Hesta's eyes: "Go to sleep!"

"...The child that afternoon looked even younger than Kiki and the others," Hesta turned around, "She shouldn't be staying here, nor should she go to work at anyone's estate. She should go to school. Aren't there any child welfare organizations here? I see there are some in Districts 3 and 14—"

“It’s also difficult for children’s organizations to manage here.”

"Why?" Hesta asked. "Has anyone tried it?"

"Because whale people are different from ordinary citizens—"

“Has anyone tried this?”

"…A few years ago, there was a mercury needle who was determined to rescue the whale people gathering places in the Saint-Lome area," Li Ge said softly. "She contacted the workstation and found some cross-regional rescue organizations. She planned to start with the registration of infants and young children under three years old and their caregivers. Although the early stage of the whole project was difficult, it went smoothly. They eventually found an environment in several nearby cities that could properly place mothers and babies. Not only did they provide shelter and food, they even considered the mothers' subsequent work and the social support they could enjoy in raising their children."

"Yeah." Hesta nodded, "That's good."

"However, one week before the official arrival, when she went to the settlement again, she found that the entire settlement had been forcibly relocated by the United Government to a new resettlement site 100 kilometers away." Li Ge said softly, "So she chased after them and found that there were four resettlement sites designated by the United Government, and each one was far away from each other. She ran to every resettlement site within a day, but the women holding their children were gone."

"Gone?" Hesta frowned again, "What do you mean by gone?"

"They just disappeared." Li Ge looked at the windshield. "We couldn't find their shadows in the four new resettlement sites. Their friends and relatives said that they were repeatedly separated and put on different vehicles along the way. At that time, they thought they were just separated temporarily and they would have time to inquire about each other's news after they settled down. However, these women who were about to receive AHgAs' help just disappeared like that. No one knows where they went."

"Then their relatives and friends——"

"These relatives and friends," Rico turned his head, "these people who answered the mercury needle's question also disappeared the next day."

"Was he captured?" Hesta frowned slightly, "...or is he dead?"

Rico's hands were on the steering wheel, "I don't know."

It was getting dark outside, and only the ceiling light inside the car was still on. Suddenly, someone knocked on the window on Li Ge's side. Li Ge pressed the window, and a teenage girl appeared outside. She looked at Li Ge with some longing, and quietly handed him a piece of paper covered with words.

With the help of the overhead light, Rico quickly glanced at the list on the paper.

"This one won't work," she suddenly pointed to a line in the book and showed it to the girl, "It was just classified as a controlled drug last month. It can't be prescribed without a doctor's order."

"...Okay." The girl pursed her lips nervously, "What else?"

"Everything else is easy." Rico folded the white paper into four and put it in his jacket pocket. "I'll go back to the city tomorrow, and maybe come back the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

The girl smiled at Rico and glanced at Hesta: "Thank you."

After the girl left, Rico closed the window again. Hesta took a look at the list. Most of the items listed on it were medicines and dressings, with a few daily necessities.

"Are you helping them buy things?"

"Yes, it's safe this way, and no one will interfere." Rico replied, "But you can't take people out, absolutely not." "...Otherwise they will disappear?"

"You can look for materials from a few years ago," Li Ge said softly, "Just search for 'Southern District 12 Women and Children Rescue Plan'."

Soon, Rico fell asleep, and Hesta lay on the reclined car seat, still looking at his phone. The light of the light blue screen enveloped the small space, and Hesta kept flipping through the pages of his phone with an expressionless face.

……

The next afternoon, Fatima stood outside her residence with an anxious look on her face.

This is her residence in the city of Emmanlia. The location here is very good, and the straight-line distance to the hospital, library, and theater is no more than 500 meters. At the same time, there is a charming small garden in front and behind the villa.

A black car stopped at the door and a man in a suit and tie got out.

"Dr. Yavi!" Fatima came forward. "Thank God you are willing to make this trip."

"I just got the message and came here," the doctor walked quickly to Fatima, "Can you tell me more about it? What happened to Chloe?"

"She has been having fever and vomiting repeatedly for a while. She got much better after you prescribed medicine last time, but for some reason, her condition suddenly got worse yesterday... We have taken antipyretics, but her temperature still won't go down. It's always been 39 degrees..." Fatima said softly, "You know, she hasn't been in good spirits for a while -"

As the two were about to go in, another car stopped right behind the black sedan.

Fatima noticed the strange car and stopped.

The car door opened and Hesta got out.

"It's you," Fatima still smiled politely, "Are you here to see the Baron? He's not here today—"

"No, I came to see you, ma'am." Hesta held a dessert box in his left hand, "Ms. Hesta asked me to come."

"...Okay," Fatima nodded. "I have something to do now. Can you wait for me for a while and come in and sit down first?"

Hesta nodded happily.

Although Fatima had intended to have Hesta wait in the reception room, the big man seemed to have no sense of the host-guest relationship. As she walked, she anxiously told Dr. Avi about Chloe's condition, and Hesta followed her and listened quietly. During this time, the housekeeper clearly showed Hesta the way and wanted to take her away, but Hesta waved her hand nonchalantly, saying "It's okay", and then followed Fatima all the way to the door of Chloe's room.

"Madam," Fatima finally turned around, "my daughter is still sick, so it's not convenient for me to see you."

"What's wrong with her?" Hesta asked.

Fatima did not answer. She followed the doctor into the room and closed the door gently.

"Don't you know what disease she has?" A voice came from not far away. Hesta turned around and saw Chloe's sister Sheena standing not far away.

"Yeah." Hesta asked, "Is it serious?"

"She is being sentimental," Hina replied.
