Chapter 314: He Is Too Attractive to Women
...
Through the muddy window, the panic-stricken and desperate face could be seen.
The eyes were more than familiar, and when they saw each other, both of them were stunned.
Hilla reacted quickly.
She turned to the people behind her and Bruce, "There are still living people inside."
However, the signal in the mountains was particularly poor. They didn’t know how the people inside were, and they could not contact them.
Now, she could only see a few people through the window who were barely in a small space and half-squatting.
Bruce brought a stone over. At this time, he could only smash the window and let the people inside think of a way to climb out.
Although the window was not big, there were three skinny women and a child in his teens trapped inside.
The adults on the bus all protected the child in their arms. Although the child was a little panicked, he looked very normal.
Hilla made a gesture to the people on the bus. Lori, who was in the middle, glanced at her. Then, she said something to the people around her. The few of them began to carefully move backward.
Because the bus had been smashed by the rocks in the middle and had rolled, there was little space for them to move.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, and as the rain poured down, the mountain rocks also began to loosen.
The soil that had been washed by the rain had clearly begun to lose its support, crack and slide down.
"Bruce, hurry up. Otherwise, the people inside are in great danger."
Margaret couldn’t help but urge. If they didn’t hurry up and save them, before the second landslide, she could only run first with Bruce and the others. After all, before saving others, she had to protect their lives first.
Following Margaret’s words, there was a loud sound. The sound of glass shattering was especially clear in the entire mountain.
However, the sound was soon covered by the heavy rain.
Following the sound of the rocks falling from Bruce’s hand, even the rocks on the mountain seemed to be startled.
Margaret looked up and saw the soil that was about to slide down from the top of the mountain. She grabbed Bruce’s hand in shock.
"Let’s go. The second landslide is coming. If we don’t go now, we will be buried by the soil."
Hilla had already pulled the child out of the bus the moment Bruce smashed it.
However, the broken glass that fell around the window drew blood on the back of her hands and arms as she moved, falling into the mud with the rain.
Bruce furrowed his eyebrows and stopped to grab Hilla’s arm.
Throwing away the thing in Hilla’s hand, Bruce said coldly, "You are not allowed to stay here any longer."
"I’m fine."
Hilla looked at the people crawl out of the bus in a sorry state, and finally saw Lori who was in the innermost part of the bus.
"You are not allowed to stay here any longer!"
Bruce’s voice was obviously a little colder. Although the words were the same, Hilla could feel that he was angry.
"I..."
"Margaret, leave with her."
The rain had already soaked their clothes and they couldn’t almost see the faces of each other.
Margaret grabbed Hilla’s hand obediently and asked worriedly, "Bruce, what about you?"
Not far away, Hilla heard Halle shouting nervously, "It’s too dangerous. Hurry up and leave!"
Halle wanted to go over, but was stopped by Horton. "It’s too dangerous. Don’t go over."
The mud and stones on the top of the mountain had already started to fall down the slope.
Now, no matter who rushed over, it would be suicide.
Halle looked worried, and Emily, who was in the arms of Horton, was protected very well.
She looked around nervously. Although she did not know what had happened, she knew that it must be very dangerous.
Bruce pushed Hilla into Margaret’s arms, his expression serious, "Go!"
Margaret opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless. She could only pull Hilla away.
The rain blurred their vision. Bruce was half lying beside the bus.
He looked at the aggrieved Lori inside through the open window.
"Can you come out?"
Lori shook her head, and her eyes were filled with tears, "My foot is stuck. Hurry up and leave. Leave me alone."
All the people on the bus were saved, and only she was hiding in the back part of the bus, like a burden.
The desire to live made her want to pull her leg out several times, but she did not have enough strength.
Bruce frowned and leaned in through the broken window.
Lori never thought that Bruce would actually take the initiative to come in. She nervously said in a hoarse voice, "There’s a landslide. It’ll be too late if you don’t leave now."
She had no parents since she was young, and every day she lived was a day she earned. Ever since she was young, Lori knew that she was redundant, and there was no point in staying in this world.
No one really cared about her, so she could only work hard to live. However, Bruce was different. His identity and his life were so precious. To sacrifice for someone like her was really too unworthy. "Now let’s try together. Try to pull out your leg."
Bruce did not respond to Lori’s words, but focused on her foot that was stuck in the bus.
He grabbed her calf with one hand and tried to pull it out together with her.
There came a loud sound.
Along with the slight vibration of the ground, the mud and stones on the mountain completely poured down.
Margaret immediately covered her eyes and threw herself into Hilla’s arms.
"It’s all because of that woman. I told you that woman was not a good person. She saved my brother’s life but now she wants to harm him."
In the past, she only felt that Lori had ulterior motives, but now she felt that the woman was a jinx.
They were traveling here, but why was Lori in the bus covered by the mudslide?
This woman was almost pestering the Anderson family.
When Emily saw Margaret crying, she also cried in Horton’s arms.
Although she didn’t know why she was crying, she was sad because Margaret was sad.
Hilla stared blankly as the mudslide fell down, and Bruce crawled out from the mud with a small and weak figure in his arms.
Without caring about anything else, she pushed Margaret away from her embrace and ran towards Bruce.
Hilla removed the dirt from Bruce’s body and looked at the battered and exhausted man in front of her. His usual domineering and handsome appearance was gone.
Her heart suddenly ached, and she could not help but throw herself into Bruce’s embrace, crying loudly.
"You scared me to death. I thought you were dead and I was going to be a widow."
The crying pierced through the entire mountain, both complaining and distressed.
The rain could not hide the woman’s heart-wrenching worries.
Bruce couldn’t care about the mud all over his body as he held the woman in front of him tightly in his arms, as if she was a precious treasure that he had lost.
Lori lay on the ground in a sorry state, looking at the man and woman who were hugging each other affectionately. She was held tightly by the man just now, but at this time, she could not make a sound.
...
After a heavy rain, more than a dozen people squeezed into the two recreational vehicles.
Some of them were seriously injured. Hilla, Halle, and Margaret had to stay outside and make hot meals for the wounded.
"We don’t have much food left. It is only enough to support us for three or four days. But now, with so many people, it will be consumed in one meal."
Margaret frowned worriedly.
Just now, she had posted the picture of the landslide on social media and said something pessimistic.
They were indeed unlucky and the situation was severe.
If they went deep into the mountains, they could find some residents. But the roads were too narrow for the vehicles. With so many injured people, it was difficult for them to send all of them to the village.
"No one has expected this to happen. Let’s send two people to the village and see if we can buy some goods."
There was worry in Halle’s eyes but her tone was still gentle.
They did not have much cash on them, and most of the villagers in this mountainous region were elders and children.
Most of them had not even used a smartphone, let alone to receive bank card payments.
It seemed that sometimes money can’t help.
Bruce had changed his clothes and cleansed his body. He looked as handsome as usual.
However, only Hilla knew that the falling stones had left a lot of wounds on him.
When she cleaned up the sand and dressed his wounds just now, Hilla cried bitterly.
"Should we know earlier, we won’t have come out for a trip."
Hilla murmured in a low voice as she nestled in Bruce’s embrace.
Her eyes were wet for complaint and regret. She felt so sorry for Bruce.
Although he was heavily injured, he still dressed up elegantly.
He was always like this, not even letting others know about his injuries.
Hilla grabbed Bruce and scrutinized the red scratches on his palm. She blinked to hold up her tears.
They set off happily. But within a night the accident happened to them.
"Little fool, am not I fine now?"
Bruce smiled dotingly and held Hilla in his arms.
"You are the fool. Why don’t you run first? What if you are buried in the mud and stones and can’t get out? What if you..."
Hilla choked up and could not articulate one more word.
Hilla was so painful that she would not listen to a word from Bruce.
She wanted him to be fine and stay by her side forever. He didn’t have to be so brave.
Not far away.
Lori looked at the two of them hugging and comforting each other, lost in thought.
"You insisted on coming with the rescue car for this couple, right?"
"That man should be Bruce, the president of the Anderson Group and the best man in your eyes."
Lori came back to her senses on hearing these words.
She turned to look at the man beside her and opened her lips, "Fred, do you think that I am very silly?"
She knew that they were not from the same world, but she couldn’t help but grasp every opportunity to meet him.
She could not think clearly. There was a voice in her mind telling her, "Go and see him, even if just for one glance."
She just wanted to see him. She would not do anything else.
"If it’s him, then you’re not stupid at all!"
The man suddenly spoke. Lori looked at him in surprise.
Fred smiled and said frankly, "If I were a woman, I will also be attracted to him. You just do what ordinary women would do."
"You think I am attracted to him?"
Lori was startled and looked at Bruce and Hilla, lost in thought again.
Then, she shook her head slightly.
"I just feel a little lost, a little unwilling, as if I have been abandoned."
Fred looked at Lori in surprise and heard her mutter to herself, "I had been used to taking care of a vegetable. Every day when I went home, someone could listen to me. He would not refute me, would not laugh at me, and would not reveal the secrets in my heart. I could speak freely like a bird in front of him."
However, before she gave him up, the vegetable woke up and abandoned her.
She felt like having lost a cherished doll, a trusted friend, and the reliance of her heart.
"You treat him as your own private property, but he doesn’t belong to you." Fred smiled, but it made Lori a little anxious. "But he doesn’t belong to anyone. He..."
"No, he is the president of the Anderson Group. He belongs to the entire Anderson Group. He is also the husband of that woman. He is the father of his children. He now belongs to another woman."
Being interrupted by Fred, Lori was somewhat flustered.
She knew that what Fred said was true, that she was still struggling.
"I didn’t expect that the person you brought back from the tropics would be Bruce. It seems that my injury last time was not in vain."
Lori’s face turned pale at these words. Fred knew how she had met Bruce.
When Bruce came out of the forest, he happened to run into Fred, who was helping the refugees.
They started to fight for some reason. Lori came back for Fred and saw him faint with Bruce’s blow. In a panic, Lori held up a stone and hit it on Bruce’s head.
This was a secret hidden in Lori’s heart, and she dared not tell anyone, especially the Andersons.
She took Bruce back out of guilt. As a member of the rescue team, she could not leave him to die.
"Well, he is out of your league. If you don’t have a crush on him, it’s fine. If you do, forget him right now."
"We owe him a favor this time. Don’t forget to thank him later."
After that, Fred stood up and patted Lori’s head. He entered the RV to see his injured friends and colleagues.
Lori sat in the same place and stared at Bruce again. It was not until Hilla came to her that she woke up from a dream!
Just as she was about to get up, she found that her leg was injured, and then fell back to the ground.
"Miss Holt... Mrs. Anderson!"
Last time, Hilla reminded her to call her Mrs. Anderson.
Lori lowered her head and bit her lower lip. She found it difficult to change the title but she still spoke it out in the face of Hilla’s smile.
Perhaps she knew in her heart that Hilla was Bruce’s wife and she was not equal to Hilla!
