Chapter 1405: Sudden Situation
Rowan and Claire withdrew their gazes, exchanged smiles, and continued walking forward. The
scenery here was unique, with a cloudy forecast for the day. The gray sky gave off the feeling of a
misty, rainy scene, as if they were in a traditional ink painting.
Indeed, the one that was abandoned was the luckiest, for it would meet someone who truly appreciated
it and cherished it, allowing it to realize its greatest value.
The Maybach headed toward the ancient town, gradually moving away from the hustle and bustle of
the city and onto a narrow mountain road.
The car windows were closed, and the temperature of the heater inside was just right. The girl in the
passenger seat had even fallen asleep. Tristan noticed this and appropriately slowed down the car.
Worried that she might catch a cold, he pulled the car over, took a blanket from the trunk, and carefully
covered her.
Standing next to the passenger seat, he gently tucked a strand of hair that had fallen on her forehead
behind her ear. Half-bent over, he gazed at her up-close, and Tristan felt an inexplicable sense of
tranquility in his heart at that moment. He closed the car door, returned to the driver's seat, and
restarted the car.
About a minute later, Tristan noticed that the sky had become significantly darker, with the signs of an
impending storm. He glanced up at the sky, where heavy, dark clouds hung overhead. A strong wind
howled, causing the tree branches to sway violently. It was indeed going to rain.
The mountain road wasn't too rugged, and once they passed the mountain, they'd reach the elegant
ancient town on the other side. If the road and weather were good, they could have arrived within an
hour.
But almost immediately, heavy rain began to pour, with large droplets pounding on the car body,
creating a chaotic noise. The girl furrowed her brow and opened her eyes. She saw the thick rain mist
outside the car window and the splashes of water on the hood. The mountain road ahead was barely
visible, and she could feel the car slowing down.
"How did it start raining all of a sudden?" she asked, turning to look at him in disbelief.
Tristan suddenly hit the brakes. The car, already moving slowly, came to a complete stop. He seemed
to have seen something. His face turned serious, and he didn't immediately answer her question.
Instead, he stared at something ahead in shock.
Monica also heard an unusual sound. She turned her attention forward and saw, with wide, panic-filled
eyes, "A landslide?!"
In the next second, Tristan decisively began to reverse the car!
The heavy rain continued to pour, the wind howling, and the tree branches swaying violently, as if the
heavens had suddenly changed their mood. Monica's heart tightened, and her hands clenched into
fists.
Tristan's grip on the steering wheel tightened, and his expression changed instantly. There was no
place to turn the car around, and the heavy rain severely affected visibility. However, Tristan remained
calm and controlled the car's speed well.
Monica didn't dare speak or even breathe heavily. She stared at the landslide sliding towards them,
inching closer and closer to the car. One misstep, and they would be buried.
She was terrified, her hands clenched, silently praying.
At that moment, a huge noise came from behind the car, startling both of them. Through the rearview
mirror, they could vaguely see rocks rolling down from the mountain, mixed with dirt. It was a torrential
downpour of debris.
"Ahh!" Monica became restless. She turned to face the side, feeling an intense premonition that they
would die here today.
Tristan's heart also skipped a beat, and he slammed on the brakes. They couldn't reverse any further.novelbin
The car came to a steady stop, but the road was blocked both in front and behind them. The safe area
was shrinking, creating a feeling of being caught in a pincer attack.
"What do we do now?!" Monica's heart was about to jump out of her chest, her eyes filled with
unprecedented fear.
