Chapter 214
Pearl knew how much it hurt to lose a father, so she immediately shot down the idea.
“I’ll stay then. There’s no way I’m going to let you do it.” Hanzel looked reluctant to part with Pearl. “You’ll remember me, right? I’ve saved your life twice.”
Pearl punched him. “Nonsense. We’re not dying yet. What if nothing happens?”
“Alright, I’ll stop.” Hanzel pouted. “But I’ve made up my mind to stay, and none of you can stop me.”
Allan sighed, touched by Hanzel’s decision. “Such a good man. I hope it doesn’t come to that.”
Pearl consoled him. “Don’t worry, Uncle Allan. The crane might be able to save all five of us.”
The crane soon reached them, and after the Jordans got in, Hanzel helped Pearl to get in, but she kicked him in.
Ignoring Hanzel, Pearl yelled, “We’re ready!”
The crane began to move away from the roller coaster.
Hanzel struggled to stand but found it difficult due to the shaking. “Pearl! What are you doing?”
“How could I face Mister Dustan if something happened to you?” Pearl waved at him. “Take care of yourself. I… might not be able to work as your manager anymore.
Her words sounded like a final farewell.
Pearl turned around and wiped her tears away. She never thought that after all she went through, her end would come at a roller coaster ride.
The roller coaster started shaking, and Pearl buckled and clutched the seat belt tightly. People who witnessed the commotion began sweating profusely.
“There’s one more person up there!”
“What? What are we doing to do? They’re not going to make it.”
“Yes, I remember it’s a young lady. She’s too young to die.”
“Call 911. Maybe she can still be saved!”
Suddenly, the roller coaster car jolted, with half of it sliding off the rails, as if it were about to plummet to the ground. The onlookers gasped in horror.
“It’s going to fall!”
“The young lady is a goner.”
While they were panicking and talking, the roller coaster car descended. But luckily, the crew had moved everyone out of harm’s way, preventing any casualties.
When the car hit the ground, a cloud of dust rose into the air. It wasn’t a big one, so when it dropped, there wasn’t too much chaos.
The crew rushed over to ch*ck for injuries. However, to their surprise, the car was empty.
Hanzel was stunned. “What? My friend was in that car. How could it be empty?”
The crew looked around and then said, “There really is no one on it. Come take a look for yourself.”
Hanzel was in no mood to argue. He looked up and froze. “Pearl is up there!”
