Chapter 1653

“Yes, sir

When Hartwell arrived at the South Mountain, Wesley and his men had begun working for more than

ten minutes. Hartwell was in a suit and leather shoes. Apparently, he came as soon as he got Blair’s

news. He saw Wesley directing the operation and was relieved.

Wesley was giving his men orders when he saw Hartwell. He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Hartwell stood in a tent and looked at Wesley with a worried face.

After a long time, he said, “Blair came back from abroad four days ago.

Yesterday, she went hiking with her fiance for some work function. I think she’s trapped in the

mountain.”

It was Adalson who told Hartwell that Blair came here. After the torrential floods broke out, Adalson and

Hartwell repeatedly tried to get a hold of Blair, but couldn’t get through. As a result, Hartwell rushed

here from work, despite the heavy rain. He had driven almost a hundred miles.

Wesley’s heart sank. Without hesitation, he gave his walkie-talkie to his companion. Then he changed

his clothes and rushed into the driving rain.

Before Wesley left, Hartwell reminded him, “Be careful!”

Wesley nodded.

“Don’t worry. I’ll bring her back safe and sound.”

Staring at his retreating figure, Hartwell had mixed feelings about this. ‘I know he cares for Blair a lot.

Why does he keep pushing her away?”

After half an hour, Wesley’s phone buzzed. He stopped to drink some water, and then fished his phone

from his waterproof holster. It was a

WeChat message from Blair.

A myriad of feelings welled up in Wesley when he read it. He didn’t reply to the message, but instead

picked up the pace.

On his way up the mountain, he met quite a few rescue workers and tourists, but Blair was not among

them.

As time went by, the four people that had come with him descended the mountain once more, bringing

some tourists they had saved with them.

Still, Blair was nowhere to be found.

The rain was beginning to ease off, which made it a little easier.

When Wesley located Miller, the water was already chest-high. The rescue workers had to use flotation

devices to continue their operation. Miller and his colleagues were stranded where the flow was

sluggish. Therefore, two rescue workers were able to lead them to safety and wrap them in dry

blankets.

Wesley scanned the crowd carefully, but Blair was not among them.

His heart started racing wildly and he couldn’t help but blame Miller for not having taken good care of

her.

Wesley moved forward cautiously, and to his surprise, he spotted two figures on a huge stone, blocked

by a tree.

Judging from their slim figures, he could tell they were two girls.

They were hugging each other to keep warm.
