Chapter 1504: My Name Is Nicole—Nicole as in ‘shallow’, Nicole as in ‘tide’ [7]

Jose Floyd’s face was steady, "Henrik Woody, go back to the hotel, I’ll go look for someone."

"Young Master Floyd, your health—should I go find Miss Nicole?" Henrik Woody asked hesitantly.

Young Master Floyd was truly considerate towards that little girl Regina, helping her find her mother even to the point of neglecting his own health.

If something happens to Young Master Floyd here, Leonel Thomas will not spare him?"

As soon as Henrik finished speaking, Jose Floyd’s cold voice rang out: "No need, I’ll go myself."

Five words, delivered with an unmistakable tone of determination.

Henrik had no choice but to express his concern repeatedly: "Young Master Floyd, then take care of yourself. Call me if anything happens. I’ll find a doctor for you at the hotel. You must get an IV drip, or else your condition will worsen."

Jose Floyd didn’t respond to Henrik but instead left with the help of the military police on a rubber boat.

The military police handed Jose Floyd a life jacket, "Put it on. Even while searching for others, you need to ensure your own safety first."

Jose Floyd nodded, cooperating with the military police to put on the life jacket.

"Is it your wife you’re worried about?" the military police asked while rowing the rubber boat.

Jose Floyd nodded without hesitation, "My wife, we’ve been apart for more than two years. It was only from the officers that I learned my wife is still alive and went missing in this flood disaster."

The military police sighed: "You must really have fate on your side, losing contact for two years and still being able to find each other. Remember to cherish this fate."

"You’re right." The usually reserved Jose Floyd replied faintly to the military police.

They searched street after street, Jose Floyd’s body burning with fever as the rain gradually diminished.

Looking at the floodwaters on street after street, Jose Floyd’s eyes filled with anxiety and worry for Nicole, frantic and panicked.

Jose Floyd used the megaphone hanging on the military policeman and shouted loudly for someone, repeatedly calling out the name ’Nicole’.

After searching for more than two hours, Jose Floyd shouted for over two hours, until the military police, seeing his pale complexion, couldn’t help but say: "Rest for a bit, your voice is hoarse. If you don’t find them, you’ll end up collapsing yourself."

Finally exhausted, Jose Floyd lowered his hands weakly, put down the megaphone, his eyes turned deep red, throat choked: "No matter what I do, how I regret, how I blame myself, you still choose not to forgive me, not to see me. I still can’t find you....."

"But Nicole, can you not hide from me at a time like this? Do you know how dangerous it is? Let me find you, whether or not you forgive me or want to see me, we can discuss it later, okay?"

"Right now, I just hope you appear so I can be at ease. I’m afraid that more than two years ago, you were lucky to survive, but this heartless flood will truly take you away from me....."

"Do you know the fear of losing someone once? I’ve lived lifelessly for more than two years, every day has been like torture and torment. I’m scared this kind of life will repeat countless times..... Once lost, one learns to cherish and won’t let that pain return."

His voice was hoarse and choking, filled with profound sadness.

Rowing ahead, the military police sighed deeply at the deep emotions shared between them, just as his gaze landed on a taller ancient building facade ahead, with the water level already covering half of the front door.

What caught his eye was the pale-faced girl leaning against the wooden column at the door....

"There’s someone there!" The military police shouted urgently to the sorrowful Jose Floyd behind him.

At the sound, Jose Floyd instantly raised his gaze, and as his eyes touched the person leaning against the wooden column, his body trembled violently....
