Rena's cries for assistance fell on deaf ears, amplifying her sense of despair.

Plunged into an abyss of hopelessness, Rena knew that time was running out. She needed immediate medical attention to save both her baby and herself.

Frantically, she searched for her phone, enduring excruciating pain as she reached out in the dust-covered wreckage.

She endured the severe pain and began to grope for her phone.

She wanted to call Waylen. His flight hadn't taken off yet.

Then Rena found that her phone was five-step away from her

It was just five steps away-a mere distance now had transformed into a lifeline between life and death. Every movement caused Rena immense agony, as if her body was being torn apart. Unable to stand, she collapsed on the ground, propping herself up with her palms, and began to crawl toward her phone.

Each step was a monumental struggle as Rena descended the stairs, the rough edges scraping against her belly.

The pain intensified, threatening to overwhelm her

Her body dripped with a mix of sweat and dust, her once recognizable face obscured by the grime. Nevertheless, Rena pushed herself forward, her determination unwavering.

Only two steps remained, but her strength had reached its limits

With her fingertips barely grazing the phone, she gasped for breath, shifting her body to ensure her unborn baby faced upwards

With trembling hands, she clung to the last flicker of hope and dialed her emergency contact.

She had put Waylen's number on speed dial

The call connected, but a cold, automated voice greeted her, "Sorry the subscriber you dialed cannot be connected at the moment. Please redial later."

The world around her seemed to fade into silence, the voice from her phone becoming the sole sound.

“Sorry, the subscriber you dialed...”

Rena disconnected the call, with no time to mourn the loss.

She needed to survive, she needed her child to live, and she needed her mother and Nova to Live too.

The next number she dialed belonged to Mark.

The call connected, and Mark, unaware of the unfolding events in

Duefron, was caught off guard by Rena's tremulous cry for help.
