The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 659 After Crossing Mountains and Rivers Came Those Eager Faces

"Alright, then we'll look forward to it," Sophia said with a smile. "Nat, I want to be like you and do meaningful things. To help girls like us, as much as I possibly can."

"Yes. Older girls helping younger girls is a truly meaningful thing," Natalie replied. "Of course, we might run into someone ungrateful, but so far, among all the girls we've supported, not one has turned out that way."

Natalie smiled and was in good spirits. For her, true enjoyment wasn't about eating or traveling for fun. It was about sharing her light with those poor young girls. That, to her, meant something.

"Let's finish eating and get back on the road."

"Okay."

The group ate self-heating meals, along with bread and milk. After a short rest, they continued the journey.

Natalie wasn't exaggerating when she said the road was rough. In fact, it was truly difficult to endure. The bumpy path stretched on for hours, and by the time they reached the base of the mountain she mentioned, the sky had gone completely dark.

The headlights lit a narrow path ahead, but everywhere else looked eerily dim, sending a chill through the air.

"Nat, are we really going to climb the mountain at night?" Sophia asked nervously, inching closer to Zachary, who immediately wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"Don't be scared. Someone's coming to meet us," he said.

Natalie began unloading supplies from the car. Aside from their luggage, there was also a fair amount of material aid.

"There's no way we can carry all this ourselves. I already contacted the person in charge up the mountain. They should be arriving any moment now."

Just as she finished speaking, beams of flashlight began appearing from the mountain trail, accompanied by the faint sound of voices.

Soon, a group of people with flashlights approached them.

"Natalie!"

"Taylor!" Natalie greeted the man at the front. "Come help us carry the stuff."

"Got it."

"You guys, come grab the supplies," the man said.

"Yes, Mr. Cole."
