NovelStartChapter 1405: Sudden Situation Rowan and Claire withdrew their gazes, exchanged smiles, and continued walking forward. The scenery here was unique, with a cloudy forecast for the day. The gray sky gave off the feeling of a misty, rainy scene, as if they were in a traditional ink painting. Indeed, the one that was abandoned was the luckiest, for it would meet someone who truly appreciated it and cherished it, allowing it to realize its greatest value.
The Maybach headed toward the ancient town, gradually moving away from the hustle and bustle of the city and onto a narrow mountain road.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe car windows were closed, and the temperature of the heater inside was just right. The girl in the passenger seat had even fallen asleep. Tristan noticed this and appropriately slowed down the car. Worried that she might catch a cold, he pulled the car over, took a blanket from the trunk, and carefully covered her.
Standing next to the passenger seat, he gently tucked a strand of hair that had fallen on her forehead behind her ear. Half-bent over, he gazed at her up-close, and Tristan felt an inexplicable sense of tranquility in his heart at that moment. He closed the car door, returned to the driver's seat, and restarted the car.
About a minute later, Tristan noticed that the sky had becsignificantly darker, with the signs of an impending storm. He glanced up at the sky, where heavy, dark clouds hung overhead. A strong wind howled, causing the tree branches to sway violently. It was indeed going to rain.
The mountain road wasn't too rugged, and once they passed the mountain, they'd reach the elegant ancient town on the other side. If the road and weather were good, they could have arrived within an hour.
But almost immediately, heavy rain began to pour, with large droplets pounding on the car body, creating a chaotic noise. The girl furrowed her brow and opened her eyes. She saw the thick rain mist outside the car window and the splashes of water on the hood. The mountain road ahead was barely visible, and she could feel the car slowing down.
"How did it start raining all of a sudden?" she asked, turning to look at him in disbelief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTristan suddenly hit the brakes. The car, already moving slowly, cto a complete stop. He seemed to have seen something. His face turned serious, and he didn't immediately answer her question. Instead, he stared at something ahead in shock.
Monica also heard an unusual sound. She turned her attention forward and saw, with wide, panic-filled eyes, "A landslide?!" In the next second, Tristan decisively began to reverse the car! The heavy rain continued to pour, the wind howling, and the tree branches swaying violently, as if the heavens had suddenly changed their mood. Monica's heart tightened, and her hands clenched into fists. Tristan's grip on the steering wheel tightened, and his expression el changed instantly. There was no place to turn the car around, and the heavy rain severely affected vel visibility. However, Tristan remained calm and controlled the car's speed well. Monica didn't dare speak or even breathe heavily. She stared at the landslide sliding towards them, inching closer and closer to the car. One misstep, and they would be buried.
She was terrified, her hands clenched, silently praying.
At that moment, a huge noise cfrom behind the car, startling both of them. Through the rearview mirror they could vaguely see rocks rolling down from the mountain, mixed with dirt, was a torrentialour of debris. "Ahh!" Monica becrestless. She turned to face the side, feeling an intense premonition that they would die here today. Tristan's heart also skipped a beat, and he slammed on the brakes. They couldn't reverse any further.
The car cto a steady stop, but the road was blocked both in front and behind them. The safe area was shrinking, creating a feeling of being caught in a pincer attack.
"What do we do now?!" Monica's heart was about to jump out of her chest, her eyes filled with unprecedented fear.
