Chapter 105

Veronica disliked the photo very much and wanted to delete it. The next moment, however, Matthew snatched her phone out of her hand. “Never mind, let me take a photo of you.” After taking her phone away, he took a photo of her alone and showed her the photo.

Veronica nodded in satisfaction, but as she scrolled through the photo album on her phone, she asked, “Where‘s the photo just now?”

Holding the umbrella in his hand, the man walked ahead of her and replied with a casual air, “I deleted it.”

“Oh, okay. It‘s fine that you deleted it. It didn‘t look good, anyway,” Veronica muttered, before setting the photo Matthew had taken as her phone‘s lock screen wallpaper.

That night, the rain poured down heavily, accompanied by flashes of lightning and claps of thunder.

Veronica lay wide awake in bed until about four or five in the early morning before drifting off to sleep. At some point in time, however, she was woken from her dream by Melissa, who shoved her a few times, saying, “Get up, Veronica! Something bad happened. Veronica, get up!”

Veronica asked in a sleepy daze, “What‘s the matter?” When she opened her eyes, she saw Melissa looking incredibly worried and anxious.

Melissa explained, “The rain was too heavy, and it caused a mudslide that took down the school on the hillside. The teachers and a few kids who went to school this morning are still there, so some people have been gathered in the village to rescue them. They asked us to tell those in Goon Village to evacuate.” Dawnpol Village was situated between two mountains that were very far apart, so it wouldn‘t be affected even if a mudslide occurred. On the other hand, Goon Village was situated close to the foot of the mountain. If a mudslide occurred, the consequences would be disastrous.

“A mudslide, you say?” Veronica‘s heart skipped a beat. Startled awake, she sat up in bed at once. “How could this have happened?”
