Chapter 1 Almost Died in a Plane Crash

“A plane bound for Pamore experienced a tragic crash upon landing at 12:30 am Eklora time.

“The death toll has increased to 136 people, and up until now, there have been only three fortunate survivors.”

The real-time news updates about the plane crash on TV pulled Grace Lewis back to her senses.

She was one of the survivors.

She now lay on the hospital bed with injuries all over her b*dy and her legs bandaged.

“The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later,” came the automatic response from Grace’s phone.

Ever since the plane crash, her nominal husband, Benjamin Hawkins, hadn’t picked up any of her calls.

The plane crash had shaken the whole nation. It was impossible for him to be unaware of it.

The crash site had been scattered with corpses. The fear of having nearly died still haunted her, overwhelming her to the extent that she couldn’t breathe.

A wave of disappointment washed over her.
