The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 295

He sprinted over, but as he reached the car, he stumbled slightly. "Evelyn!"

"Mr. Brooks, there's no one in the car."

Only then did Brooks notice the windshield was shattered. It was clear the car had hit the guardrail hard enough to break it. Even if someone had managed to crawl out, the odds of surviving were slim.

The rescue team had little hope left. Over the years, many had chosen this spot as their final destination, and there'd been plenty of accidents where people accidentally fell. Without exception, none had survived. Some bodies were recovered, while others were swept away by the river, never to be found again.

"Mr. Brooks, the riverbed's full of hidden currents and jagged rocks. The car's completely wrecked. It's impossible for anyone to have survived..."

The rescue team knew it was hard for family members to accept the truth, but they still offered their advice.

"Keep searching."

Brooks had a different perspective. Seeing the empty car was a relief to him. If she had been in the car, she would have been gone by now. But she wasn't, which meant there was hope. He believed Evelyn had managed to save herself and get out. As long as Evelyn had the will to survive, she had to be somewhere waiting for rescue. He couldn't give up on her. He had to find her.
