They followed the instructions of the loudspeaker and retreated to a safe distance.
Only Cora was still in place.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the head nurse hurriedly dragged her away.
Cora regained her senses and thanked the head nurse. She thought she must get stupid from the heavy rain.
Otherwise, how could she think that the sound of the loudspeaker just now belonged to Byron?
It was impossible for him to come here.
Cora laughed at herself, but when the bulldozer and excavator moved again behind the landslide section and the mud and rocks were cleared, she saw the familiar figure on the driver’s seat of the bulldozer.
It was Byron!
“They seem not to be officials.”
“The machine is not official either.”
Rescue crews were trying to figure out where the team that came to their aid came from.
And a few sharp-eyed people quickly discovered something.
“There are the Hansen Group’s logos on the machines. They are from the Hansen Group!”
“The Hansen Group did say this morning they would support Clamville with three million dollars. But they seemed not to say they would send personnel to participate in the rescue.”
“Who is that man on the bulldozer? I feel a little familiar.”
“It seems to be Byron, the new president of the Hansen Group.”
“Impossible. Did the new president personally bring people over to aid us? Could it be that there are people from the Hansen Group in Clamville?”
In the chatter of the crowd, Cora maintained her focus on Byron.
He wore a black raincoat, and his hair was wet and slightly messy. Although he wasn’t as dashing in suits as in the past, he was like a radiant savior in Cora’s eyes. The seeds of love for him seemed to have taken root at this moment…
While Cora was absent-minded, Byron and his team cleaned up most of the poured mud and rocks, and the Hansen Group vehicle for transporting supplies also arrived.
“You continue cleaning up. After clearing the road, quickly send all the supplies the villagers need. I also brought some drainage and power generation equipment, just in case.”
After Byron made a brief handover with the rescue team, he looked around as if looking for something.
Cora wasn’t sure if he was looking for her, but her heartbeat couldn’t help but speed up a bit.
When Byron fixed his eyes on her and walked towards her, she felt her heart pounding wildly.
That feeling similar to love made her heart tremble.
But when Byron walked up to her, he didn’t act too intimately and just asked concisely,
“Are you all right?”
“I’m fine.”
Looking at his handsome face wet by the rain, Cora wanted to say something several times.
But because the head nurse and other rescued people came up to express their gratitude to him, she buried those words in her heart.
“Mr. Hansen, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, we all would have died.”
“You have donated money and personally led a team to aid us. Not many people like you can do this.”
Hearing those people’s thanks and compliments, Byron just smoked a cigarette expressionlessly.
However, when Cora looked at him, she caught sight of a different emotion in his eyes.
Later, they put up tents brought by Byron, providing temporary shelter for almost all the rescuers and local residents.
When the rain was lighter in the second half of the night, everyone decided to take a break so that they could participate in the rescue work in a better condition tomorrow.
Cora shared the same tent with the head nurse.
After the two set up the tent, Cora thought about it and took out a sachet from her luggage bag.
When Cora was about to leave the tent, the head nurse asked suddenly,
“Dr. Lane, it’s late. Aren’t you going to sleep?”
“I still can’t sleep and want to go out to get some air,”
Cora said.
There was an unpleasant smell in the new tent, so the head nurse didn’t think too much about it.
“Then come back early to rest after you feel better. We will be busy in the next few days.”
“Okay.”
Cora got out of the tent and soon found Byron’s tent.
His tent was the same as everyone else’s. At this time, he was smoking, standing outside.
In the dim light, Byron seemed to look at her casually.
At this moment, all the hustle and bustle seemed far away, and all actions seemed slowed down in the drizzle. Cora only felt Byron’s gaze was very deep, so deep that it reminded her of the joy during their sex and even more of the strange sense of peace when she was snuggled into his arms.
Cora only paused for a few minutes before walking towards him.
Cora came to Byron. He looked down at her, and the cigarette butt on his fingertips flickered on and off.
“Why did you come here?”
She asked the most curious thing she wanted to know, unable to bear her anticipation.
“I came to help deliver the supplies. Do you think I’m here to catch you with another man?”
Byron blew smoke on her face as if deliberately teasing her.
The faint flames of expectations in Cora’s heart seemed to be extinguished a lot at this moment.
She turned her face away.
“Did you need to come in person to deliver the supplies? Didn’t you just need to give an order?”
Actually, she hoped Byron would admit that he came for her. Although it didn’t mean their relationship would go somewhere, she still hoped he would admit it.
But Byron was probably born against her. The more she looked forward to something, the more he made her upset.
“Doing it myself is better than giving orders.”
Not only did he not give her the answer she wanted, but he was even better at exposing her thoughts.
“Or do you think I’m here for you?”
“I…
I didn’t.”
Although her inner voice had already admitted it for her, she didn’t dare to admit it, nor could she admit it.
“That would be great.”
Byron snuffed out the cigarette butt and said,
“Get some rest. We’ll be busy tomorrow.”
Cora silently put away the expectations she shouldn’t have.
“You too.”
She turned to leave, but in the end, she turned back and handed the sachet to Byron.
“This is for you.”
Byron didn’t like mosquitoes buzzing around him. When he spent the night in her apartment, he would have a restless sleep if there was a mosquito in the room.
Not to mention mosquitoes, all kinds of insects might be in this kind of temporary tent. So Cora brought
Byron her sachet.
“What is it? A token of love?”
Byron took the sachet and looked at it. His eyes lit up, but Cora didn’t know if he was teasing her or looking forward to something.
“Don’t think too much. There are some mosquito-repellent herbs in it. You can put it next to the sleeping bag so that no mosquitos will bother you.”
After Byron heard the answer, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
No matter what, he was the hero who had saved everyone here, and Cora felt this was what he should do for him.
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Byron watched her back, and he returned to the tent when he was sure she had entered her tent.
At the same late night, Jane, wearing a white suspender nightdress, standing in front of the floor-to-
ceiling window, was on a phone call.
“Miss Yoris.”
“How is it going out there??”
She asked.
Just now, she learned from the news it had been raining harder in Clamville, causing landslides to occur in a certain section of the road, very likely forming a barrier lake, which would threaten the rescuers.
So Jane made a call and asked about the situation of the rescue team of the First Hospital.
On the one hand, she wanted the rescue team to be safe. But on the other hand, she hoped that something would happen to Cora so that she would never come back.
That was why when Jane learned the hospital was going to support Clamville, she immediately notified
Elwood to add Cora’s name.
But the rescue team leader replied,
