Conradâs expression instantly changed. He quickly instructed his wife to get him his raincoat.
âMiss Pond, Iâm going to check on them. All of you stay here for a while.â
Seeing his serious expression, Silvia nodded. âAlright. Be careful, Mr. Clark.â
Without another word, Conrad put on his raincoat and left with the man.
Silvia and the others had originally planned to return once the rain subsided. However, the rain persisted throughout the night, and Conrad never came home.
Meanwhile, news of the heavy rainfall in Greenvale became a trending topic online.
Following an entire night of heavy rain, the residents of Greenvale awoke in the morning to discover that the streets were flooded. Water levels reached half a meter, and public transportation, including subways and buses, came to a complete halt.
When Neil saw the news, he immediately called Silvia. However, her phone had been switched off.
He quickly summoned Curtis to his office with a solemn expression. âPrepare a helicopter. Iâm heading to Greenvale.â
Curtis was visibly shocked, and he said, âMr. Remus, itâs still raining heavily in Greenvale, and there have been reports of landslides in several places. Going there is too dangerous!
âEven if you manage to get there, thereâs no guarantee that youâll find Miss Pond.â
Neil glared at him and said, âStop talking and do as I say!â
âMr. Remus!â
âGet the helicopter ready right away! Donât make me repeat myself!â
Half an hour later, a helicopter slowly ascended from Remus Corporationâs rooftop. Neil then headed to Greenvale.
Meanwhile, in Ten Miles Village, several houses near the foot of the mountain were already flooded. Conrad and the villagers quickly helped them move important items to higher ground. Everyone had a serious look on their faces.
They had never seen such heavy rain and had no idea how long it would last. It was as if the dark and gloomy sky would swallow everything like a black hole.
Silvia and the others were sitting by the window and looking out at the rain with different expressions. It was still heavy, and their phones had unfortunately run out of battery last night.
Eva appeared worried as she said, âI wonder how long this rain will last. Is this area going to flood as well?â
Evelyn Johnson, Conradâs wife, prepared breakfast and brought it over. When she heard Evaâs concern, she reassured her. âDonât worry, Miss White.
The terrain here is high, so the flood wonât reach us.â
Despite what she said, Evelyn could not hide the concern in her eyes either.
Just as they were about to have breakfast, a drenched man hurriedly approached them. âMr. Clark is injured. Mrs. Clark, please go and check on him.â
Evelynâs face turned pale. âWhere is he?â
âHeâs at Mr. Jeffersonâs house.â
Evelyn rushed into the rain. Right before the man followed her, Silvia suddenly said, âIâll go with you.â
Her words left everyone staring at her in shock.
âMiss Pond, the flood is rising. If you go out there, no one can take care of you, so itâs better to stay here. Itâs safer.â
âIâve learned some basic first aid, and I can help Mr. Clark with his wound.â
A landslide had blocked the road into the village since last night. Hence, it was impossible to get Conrad out for medical treatment.
âAlright, then. Come with me.â
âYou two, stay here. Joe, please take care of Eva if anything happens,â Silvia said as she looked at Eva and Joe.
Joe nodded. âDonât worry, Miss Pond. Iâll take care of her. You need to be careful too.â
Silvia did not say anything else and followed the man.
They soon reached Mr. Jeffersonâs house. Conrad had accidentally slipped and scratched his leg on a branch while helping the villagers move their belongings. Although the wound was not deep, the cut was quite long. He was bleeding profusely, so it looked serious.
Chris was providing first aid to Conrad. It seemed he had brought the first aid kit along since the villagers would not typically have one.
