Chapter 432

“Are you alright?” Winston let go of me and looked at my wrist with a worried expression. It was bruised from Felix’s tight grip.

I rubbed my slightly numb wrist and stopped looking at Felix. “Professor King, let’s go back.”

Professor King nodded and led the way. Winston and I followed behind him while Felix and Austin tailed us.

We walked back to where we came from. While the weather had improved, the path had not. It

was still difficult to walk on.

I trudged through the muddy path with my heavy shoes and wet pants. I proceeded mechanically. Every part of me screamed exhaustion, and every step was an uphill battle.

I thought of giving up. Maybe I could just stay there. That way, I wouldn’t have to face the

unknown future.

It was exhausting to enter the mountains, but back then, all I could think of was Colin. That was how I powered through. I had clung to the hope of bringing Colin home.

But on my way back, I didn’t have any motivation. All I could think of was Colin leaving with another woman in his arms. He didn’t even look back. I could never forget how I felt.

I continued robotically while relying on my instincts. When we returned to the motel, it wa already in the evening. We landed 24 hours ago. And within 24 hours, I had witnessed the destructive power of nature, great joy, and great sorrow.

The constant emotional swings drained me.

I took a bath and put my barely recognizable clothes on the drying rack. It wasn’t until I lay on the bed that I realized that there were several bruises on my body and all my fingers were injured. Some were cut so badly I could see the mangled flesh. They hurt a lot.

Fingertips were very tender. Of course, they hurt.

After I roughly applied ointment on my fingers, someone knocked on my

door.

I opened the door and saw Felix standing outside. With both hands in his pockets, he asked me coldly, “We’re going to the hospital. Are you coming?”

“Yes.”

Of course, I was going. Colin may have left with another woman without any explanation, but he was mine. He had given me his word. I planned to spend the rest of my life with him, so I was not going to abandon him.

While my heart felt betrayed, my mind told me to believe him. Besides, didn’t they say that

looks could be deceiving? I should hear him out.

I told myself that Colin wouldn’t do anything that’d hurt my feelings. This feeling of jealousy had to be the result of my overthinking. Even if he broke his promise and did something that hurt my feelings, I wanted to hear it from him. I didn’t want to speculate blindly.

Furthermore, Colin might be injured since he was stuck under the mudslide for two days. I needed to check on him. A trip to the hospital was on the agenda.

Chaos ensued before the entrance to the emergency department. Several kids were dehydrated due to a prolonged lack of food and water. Some were receiving IV therapy because their cases

were more severe.

The principal’s head was injured, but he had been patched up. He was lying on a small bed while attached to an IV. Even when asleep, he continued to frown. He was probably seriously

injured. A young man sat next to him to keep him company.

Fortunately, the mudslide wasn’t that serious. The damage done to the village in the mountain valley and the school wasn’t that great. Several victims were heavily injured. But apart from them, there were no casualties.

The worries accumulated over the past two days eased down. The family members of the victims gathered to talk about the incident. They were glad that their family was safe.

I was looking for Colin among the crowd.
