Unknowingly, dawn was approaching, casting a faint glow from the clouds.

With the emerging light, their visibility extended a little further.

As they passed farmland, they saw several collapsed old houses, all devoid of inhabitants.

Above them, rescue planes frequently circled back and forth, their engines roaring through the sky.

"It looks like no one lives here anymore. We’ll have to head into the town center of Riverdale to see if we can find any survivors to ask about the situation," Raiden said as he unfolded the map, cross-checking it with precise field navigation.

The last known location where Manuel’s phone signal disappeared was somewhere nearby, but due to the weak reception at the time, pinpointing an exact location had been impossible.

"We could also try following the direction of the rescue planes. They’re likely headed where there are survivors. Then, along the way, we can look for anyone who might have seen him," Britney suggested, glancing at the aircraft soaring above

    The distress call came from a boy around five years old, trapped under the rubble. Through the gaps in the debris, they could faintly see his small face covered in dust, but his pair of clear, weary eyes remained strikingly visible.After their assessment, they confirmed that the boy's body was trapped beneath a large stone slab."Help… help me…" His dry tears trickled down his dusty face. His lips, cracked from hours without water, barely parted as he weakly spoke, his voice broken and intermittent. "And… my mom… mom…""My mom… she's right behind me…"His mother?Behind him?"Hang in there, kid! Don't fall asleep! My friends and I, including this pretty sister here, are going to get you out soon! And your mom too…" A young man, wearing a red volunteer armband on his left shoulder, crouched down and comforted the boy trapped in the gap. Then he turned to Britney and said, "Keep talking to him. Make sure he doesn't fall asleep. Once we lift the stone slab, I'll pull him out."At this s

    Could It Be…?At this moment, Britney finally understood. The reason the slate had collapsed beneath them earlier wasn’t just structural failure—it was a mother, using the last of her strength to shield her child. She had braced her body against the stone slab above, creating a final refuge for her child to survive. Once the slate was moved away, the mother, who had long since stopped breathing, lost the last reason to hold on.No one present made a sound. It wasn’t fear that silenced them, but the overwhelming reverence for this mother’s sacrifice.After half an hour of effort, they finally managed to pull Steven from the rubble. He was unconscious but still breathing. His once white T-shirt and striped shorts were now tattered beyond recognition, covered in dust, dirt, and blood from numerous wounds. His abdomen and right arm had been crushed so severely they appeared deformed.But he was alive. That alone was a relief to everyone. He carried his mother’s hopes now.A uniformed man

    After a sleepless night, this was the first time Britney had endured such prolonged exhaustion.Walking behind her, Bryant noticed something was off. He turned to Raiden and made a suggestion.From the moment they set out, none of them had stopped to rest. They hadn’t even taken time to eat or drink a sip of water. Their training had accustomed them to this—going a day or two without food was nothing unusual. But for Madam, this was her first time. Even though they had slowed their pace, Britney’s physical endurance simply couldn’t compare to theirs.Raiden lifted his peach-blossom eyes to the sky, where dark clouds were gathering. "We should find a place to shelter from the rain and grab something to eat while we’re at it."He was worried. If the rain came down hard and they were stranded on the road, he and Bryant could manage, but there was a woman among them.Besides, the mountain paths would become dangerously slippery in the rain, making travel even harder."I'm fine. Let's go!

    Britney answered, quickly noticing a thermos nearby. She poured some hot water into it, checked the temperature, and found it suitable.She crouched down and slowly began feeding the elderly man small sips of water. After a while, the elderly man regained a bit of strength, blinking his eyes slightly to signal the people nearby that it was enough.Britney put down the small bowl.Due to the limited conditions here, with little water and time, she had only cleaned and treated the wound without giving him any other care. As a result, the elderly man’s face, full of wrinkles, not only showed the marks of time, but his body was also dirty."What do you want to say?" Seeing him repeatedly opening and closing his dry lips, Britney leaned closer to listen to what he was trying to say."I... my wife..." The elderly man, his forehead wrapped in gauze, spoke in a hoarse voice. "Is she still alive?"He remembered that before the accident, he and his wife had just finished sowing seeds in the fie

    Standing at the crossroads.Raidenspoke with a serious expression, his righteous demeanor making it hard to imagine his usual flirtatious nature."Are you sure the three of you can handle this?" During the rescue efforts earlier, Chuckhad already noticed that Raidenand Bryanthad extraordinary skills. However, since they had a woman with them, he couldn't help but ask again."No problem!" Raidenreplied. He didn’t want to entrust the rescue of Manuelto others. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have traveled so deep into the disaster zone himself.Not wanting to waste more time, Chucksaid, "Alright then! I'll have someone meet up with you later!""Okay!" They had already refused external assistance once, and Raidendidn’t want to refuse a second time, lest it arouse suspicion. As for what would happen later, they’d deal with it when the time came.Chucktook out some essentials fr

    After nightfall in the mountains, the temperature dropped sharply, and a thin mist shrouded the mountain air.Even after being washed by the rain, Britney’s delicate face looked even more refined, exuding a sense of resilience.Bryantfastened the safety harness around Britney, double-checking it. “If anything happens, call us immediately!” His voice carried through the damp air, reaching her ears.She nodded. At this moment, she regretted refusing their invitations to go rock climbing in the past. If she had known there would be a day like this, she would have trained and prepared herself.Looking down, she saw Raidenwaving his flashlight, casting strong beams of light into the air. Britneysteeled herself, grasped the thick rope with both hands, pressed her foot against the cliffside, and began her descent…However, the cliffside was covered with mud and rocks from previous landslides. Each step she took c

    Raidenheard that familiar, deep voice and thought he was hallucinating at first.He stood up and pinched Bryant’s face hard. "You heard that too, right?"Bryantdidn’t answer, but he nodded. He had clearly heard that voice just now.But the two of them stood still, looking around, yet saw no sign of anyone.It was said that places where people had died carried a heavy air of gloom. Could they both be hallucinating?It wasn’t until a tall figure, exuding an aura of dominance, emerged from the darkness that they dared to confirm—the Manuelbefore them was very much alive.Manuelwalked forward with steady steps, his expression cold and intimidating, his thin lips pressed into a straight line. Perhaps due to prolonged lack of sleep, he appeared slightly fatigued, but it didn’t diminish his natural air of nobility in the slightest.He hadn’t taken more than a few steps when Raiden,

    Manuelhad loved Britneyfor nineteen years. If it weren’t for deep love, he wouldn’t have remained silent all those years ago when he saw Britneythrow herself into Conrad’s arms, pretending to be unaffected while secretly taking his friends to spy on her.Nor would he have rushed back from the training camp without hesitation when Britneypersonally said she would marry him, spending a fortune on their wedding.He had never experienced soul-crushing heartbreak himself, but he admired Manuel’s unwavering devotion—after all these years, he had never wavered in his love for just one woman.A sudden rustling sound came from behind.“Manuel!”The voice was crisp yet faint, but in the quiet valley, it was crystal clear.In an instant, his gaze snapped toward the sound. Their eyes met, and it was as if a dazzling light ignited in both of their eyes.“Brie…”

    Skyler had fallen asleep, but her mind remained alert. After all, Raiden had left a psychological scar on her today.As soon as Raiden mentioned being hungry, she couldn't help but complain to herself. He hadn't felt hungry earlier, and now, suddenly, he was.But despite the resentment in her heart, she didn’t dare voice it. After all, he was the young master, and she was just a servant..."Should I heat it up for you?" Since this "ancestor" had called for her, it was clear he wouldn’t do it himself. And it was late, so the other family members had likely already gone to sleep.Sure enough, the young master kicked his feet and said, "Should I do it myself?" If he was going to do it himself, why bother calling her? The real reason was that he couldn’t sleep and, seeing her sleep soundly beside him, a psychological urge stirred within him.If he couldn’t sleep, neither should she. It was a kind of unhealthy mentality.He wanted to wake her up

    Skyler finally had the chance to observe the entire room. The decor was simple yet refined.A large sky-blue bed, a desk with a desktop LCD computer, and some model decorations—all expensive just at a glance. It matched his unruly personality well. However, it was clear he didn’t come home often; everything here still looked brand new."Where are you sleeping? Why are you asking me?"Since his father let her move in, he must have arranged a place for her."Do you have an extra blanket? I’ll sleep on the floor."The bed was big enough for two people, and she had slept with him before—otherwise, how would she have gotten pregnant? But at this moment, she didn’t dare sleep with him. She hadn’t forgotten the way he had looked downstairs, as if he wanted to devour her alive.She didn’t dare provoke him again, afraid that if she shared a bed with him, she might not even know how she died.She knew t

    "Do you think you've found yourself a backer now? Is that why you feel so important?"Raiden’s tone was full of sarcasm.He looked exactly like a little kid afraid of losing his father's love.It’s often said that women mature faster than men, and Skyler was one of those women. She could see exactly what Raiden was upset about, and a smile tugged at her lips."No, Mr.Calderon! My biggest backer is you," Skyler admitted her mistake.Like hell he’d believe that! The innocence she had before was completely gone now.Raiden let out a cold snort and sneered, "Skyler, I didn't expect your appetite to be this big. First, you took my house, and now, in the blink of an eye, you've managed to squeeze a fortune out of my dad. Did your brain suddenly become enlightened? You’re making money at an impressive speed!""Mr.Calderon, I did go back on my word in this matter. I’m sorry! Here’s the key to the house you

    Every parent, when talking about their child, always wears the kindest smile. Frankie was no exception. And when he thought about the fact that he would soon become a grandfather, his mood improved even more.Feeling good, he couldn’t help but chat a little more with Skyler.As Frankie flipped through old photos of Raiden’s childhood and talked about his younger days, Skyler truly saw how adorable he had been as a child.Uncle Calderon wasn’t lying—Mr.Calderon had been handsome since he was little.Big eyes, double eyelids, a high nose bridge, rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and fair skin—all combined with that charmingly arrogant expression…Skyler subconsciously placed her hand on her belly, wondering if the baby inside would be just as good-looking. If it were a girl and took after Mr.Calderon, she certainly wouldn’t be unattractive."Master, dinner is ready!" a servant came forward and announced.

    "She should take a good look at herself! She doesn't want to marry me?" Raiden shouted.Who did she think she was? And who was he? Since when did a woman have the right to reject him?Since he was old enough to understand things, he had been surrounded by countless women, all vying for his attention. Which woman didn't want to marry him?Raiden sneered internally. This woman was definitely playing hard to get in front of his father, trying to win his favor so that he would pressure him into marrying her.I didn't see this coming.Skyler, so you dare play tricks on me!Skyler shivered slightly under Raiden’s sharp gaze. Was it a crime now to not want to marry him?Frankie stepped forward and kicked his own son. "And you should take a good look at yourself!"That kick wasn’t light. Raiden gasped in pain and quickly pulled his leg back to clutch it.Damn it!He was almost thirty, yet his old man still kicked him with

    When Raiden walked in, he actually found that woman in his house!Without a word, he rushed up to her, grabbed her wrist, and started dragging her outside with large strides."Mr.Calderon, what are you doing?" Caught off guard by his strength, Skyler’s wrist throbbed in pain as she frowned and couldn't help but cry out."Don't ask, just come with me!"As soon as Raiden received a call from the person he had arranged to take Skyler to the hospital, he rushed back immediately.He had sent her to get an abortion, and she was already on the operating table—yet somehow, the old trickster in his family had intercepted her! Just thinking about how the plan was almost completed but was suddenly interrupted made him incredibly frustrated.How could he not know what that old fox was scheming?For the past few years, every time he returned home, the old man would pester him about marriage. Eventually, he got so fed up that he outrigh

    Frankie was setting up Skyler, but unfortunately, she was too young and inexperienced to realize it. She had never encountered such schemes before, let alone faced an old fox like Frankie.At first, Skyler had no idea who had decided against her abortion. It wasn’t until she had spoken with Frankie for a while that she finally understood—it was the old master himself who wanted to keep his grandchild.She had already promised Raiden that she would terminate the pregnancy, and she had struggled internally for a long time. But in the end, her heart leaned toward keeping the child.“However, I have three conditions.”“Go ahead, go ahead…” Frankie was so delighted that she had agreed that he would have accepted a hundred conditions if necessary.“First, after the child is born, I want to be able to visit them whenever I wish. But you can rest assured—I will only be visiting the child and will have

    Raiden’s Father...Hearing Frankie's words, Skyler couldn't help but look up. He wasn’t like what she had imagined. The middle-aged man in front of her was well-maintained, looking energetic and full of vitality. His smile was warm and friendly. There were indeed some resemblances between him and Raiden—he must have been quite a charming man in his younger years.Seeing her subtly relax, Frankie chuckled, “What do you think? Not quite what you imagined, right?”Having her thoughts seen through so easily, Skyler blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed. “It’s a bit different from what I expected,” she admitted.“Sit down and talk. I’m not used to looking up at people while speaking.” Frankie deliberately said this, knowing that otherwise, she wouldn’t sit down.Just as he had anticipated, Skyler realized that standing while talking to someone like this was somewhat impolite. Beside

    Skyler looked at the cold, sterile operating table, her steps heavy as she walked over and lay down with the nurse’s help. Staring at her still-flat stomach, she silently whispered to the tiny life inside her, "Baby, I'm sorry."He had been so well-behaved. She had heard that during the first three months of pregnancy, morning sickness was common, sometimes severe enough to make one feel like the world was spinning. Yet, she hadn’t experienced any of that—she felt just like a normal person. She knew her baby must be a very obedient child.Unfortunately, she had no ability to keep him. If she forced his birth, he would only suffer alongside her.So, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m not brave enough…She had never intended to keep this child, but that didn’t mean she had no feelings for him. He was, after all, her own flesh and blood."Miss Oneal, we’re going to administer the anesthesia now. Try to r
