After Felix listened to what I had to say, he told me calmly that since it was a major incident, his parents had the right to know. Besides, he needed to discuss it with his family, so he asked me to give him some time.We agreed to call each other after ten minutes before we hung up.Queenie and Andrew looked at me with an incredulous expression. They must have assumed that I was a naive, spoiled princess. Moments ago, I was a wailing wimp. Hearing me relaying everything to Felix clearly and interrupting him boldly twice must have changed their view of me.I shrugged. "Colin is in danger. I can't be a crybaby anymore. I must stay strong."Then, I called Professor King to ask if he knew that Colin had encountered a mudslide.He told me that he was about to call me, but I had reached him first. He had seen the news and learned about the mudslide in Lagado. He then told his superior about the disaster and Colin's loss of contact. The school held an emergency meeting and decided to s

If Queenie dated him, she might be able to get her happy ending.Even the most delicious food would turn bland and tasteless when one was at the receiving end of tragic news. Nevertheless, I forced myself to eat as much as possible as I knew a battle of attrition awaited me. Without sufficient rest and stamina, I wouldn't be able to last long. I'd be a burden.That said, I had no idea what I was expected to and should do when I arrived at Lagado. I was going there without a plan.After being pampered by my parents and Colin for more than 20 years, I had become sheltered and complacent. When things went awry, I did not know what to do except to cry.Once I found Colin, I had to learn to become stronger and more independent.The school sent three teachers and three students. The students were all from the student council in the undergrad and postgrad faculties. They were also popular figures on the campus. They were studious and diligent.Notably, the tall and handsome Winston Moye

The bus we boarded was followed by two trucks covered by wraps. I didn't know what they were transporting. Perhaps tools for the rescue mission and logistics.The atmosphere inside the bus was rather stuffy. No one spoke.We left the city center and headed to a muddy path. The mountains should be right in front.The dangerous path was narrow and muddy. Several days of heavy downpours only made the bumpy path even more slippery. No one could tell if we were traveling on a straight path or water puddles.The bus proceeded very slowly. The constant rocking motion made me sick. I almost threw up several times.Colin's phone remained switched off. It had been two days now. I grew more and more anxious as news of him continued to elude me.Looking at the endless path before me, tears welled up several times in my eyes. But I forced myself not to cry.I told myself not to cry when it wasn't the time to cry. I needed the energy when I searched for Colin later.As we ventured deeper, se

If possible, I'd stay very far away from Felix. Whenever I saw him, I'd be reminded of whatever happened earlier on. Colin's safety was my priority now. I did not want to be distracted by him.Felix wasn't deterred by my coldness. He asked if I wanted a throat lozenge as he had some.I did not want anything from him, be it a throat lozenge or a miracle pill. The damages he had done were irreparable. Not wanting to entertain him, I asked Winston to keep up with me.Winston heard me loud and clear and closed the distance. He inserted himself seamlessly between Felix and me, blocking Felix.Felix's expression froze. He understood that I did not want to see him. He didn't want to force me to change my mind, so he followed behind me silently."Are you not fond of Felix? I know many girls have a big, fat crush on him." Even guys loved to gossip.I pouted. "Well, they must be blind."Winston covered his mouth and chuckled. He said that I had a sense of humor.I inadvertently looked ba

"I'll talk to the head of the operation." Professor King thought about my suggestion and went to consult the people in charge.After 20 minutes, he returned. He told me that the head of the operation proposed we dig two tunnels from two directions. We would dig the tunnel that passed through the building entrance to save the ones trapped inside the classroom.And if not all victims were there, we would slowly expand the area. The victims were only trapped for two days, and the mudslide wasn't a serious one. There had to be survivors. Once we found out where the rest of the victims were, the operation would go even more smoothly.One of the tunnels would connect the school entrance to the classroom door, while the other tunnel would connect the classroom's backdoor and the toilet.Now that we had a clear understanding of the rescue mission, the head of the operation said that we were making good progress. Everyone was in high spirits.I noticed that many volunteers were residents o
