Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother
Chapter 421

Chapter 421 

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 

1. 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 send out a team to aid 

the rescue effort. 

Based on the current information, Colin was at the school. Together with him were a few volunteer construction workers who were rebuilding the school, including females. There were no death reports for the moment. 

Fortunately, the mudslide was not a serious one. It did not affect a lot of places, so the chances of survival were quite high. 

My heart sank deeper and deeper into an icy pond following every word Professor King uttered. Tears blurred my vision again. 

I knew he said those words to console me. 

But Mother Nature was powerful. Humans were insignificant in front of the destructive force 

of nature. 

I didn’t have it in me to imagine what I should do if Colin died. I could only hope that Colin was still alive. That was my only wish. I wanted him to be alive. 

It did not matter if he was blind or crippled. As long as he still breathed, I would take care of him my whole life. 

Please live, Colin. 

While we waited, Andrew served the dishes he cooked and asked us to eat. 

But I was fraught with worry and had no appetite. Queenie cried with me and refused to eat 

1/2 

too. However, Andrew said that we had to remain calm in this kind of dire situation. 

Also, we had to take care of ourselves first. Otherwise, we wouldn‘: ho able to do anything. The school most definitely would not allow two sick people to join the rescue effort. 

I knew he was right, but I was anxious and stressed. All I could think of was Colin’s safety. I didn’t have the mental faculty to eat. 

Queenie dragged me with her. She told me to eat something. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to make it to Lagado. When that happened, regardless of Colin’s situation, I’d live with this regret forever. 

I relented and forced myself to finish the food on my plate. It was my favorite food, but it didn’t taste good at all. It felt like I was munching grass. 

Felix called back 23 minutes later. He said that after a discussion with his family, Uncle Austin and he would come to Jinovy while Aunt Mel would stay home. They would take the night train at around midnight and were expected to arrive at around 5:00 am. 

They would join the school’s special team right away and head to the disaster area. 

They wanted me to stay back, saying that that area was dangerous. Rain was continuing to pour down, and a second mudslide might take place. It was simply a place far too dangerous for women. As everyone would be occupied by the rescue effort, no one had time to look after 

1. me. 

But I wanted to get any firsthand news about Colin. I wanted to be there when he was in danger. I wanted to be the first person he saw when he was safe. 

When he was safe, I would rush to his side and hug him tightly. I needed to feel his warmth and breathing to reassure myself. 

Asking me to stay back was like asking me to wait endlessly. No, I did not want that. I wanted to save Colin myself. 

Somehow, before I knew it, my love for Colin had become so deep. So much so that I was willing to spend the rest of my life with him.
