In the blink of an eye, the sky outside turned darker.

The sky was as dark as ink, with unending rain pouring down and lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.

wind howled, ready

The strong When she opened the door, the bodyguard who was standing outside the yard was just about to

knock.

“Ms. Robinson, a child is looking for you outside.”

“Let him in.”

The boy walked into the courtyard and stood hesitantly outside the door of the house. He seemed to be just

around ten years old, with a slender figure and clear eyes.

She welcomed him into the warm room and asked, “Do you have something to tell me?” The boy opened a pair

of eyes as pure as a newborn's, clenched his sleeves, and said, “Grandma is sick. Raymond said you have

medicine, and if Grandma takes it, she will get better.” Hazel had someone bring him fever-reducing pills and

anti-inflammatory pills, and upon seeing his bewildered look, she sighed silently in her heart.

One can’t take medicine randomly. What if it’s not a cold?

Hazel packed her bag, put on a thick raincoat, and decided to go with him to visit his grandmother.

She brought a few people to follow the boy to his house.

An old lady lay in bed, with her hair white and tidy, and her face pale due to illness. Hazel checked her and

confirmed that she had a fever, so she gave the old lady a cold medicine. The old lady expressed her gratitude

and coughed, “Thank you so much. You went through the trouble of making this trip.”

The strong wind and heavy rain fiercely battered the windows, making the interior of the house

even more serene.

Hazel tidied up her things and whispered, “It’s okay.”

Just at that moment, the boy had already changed his clothes and cout. His clear eyes, as pure as water,

were like a transparent mirror. He reached into his pocket and took out a milk candy to give to her.

“Hello, my nis Howie. This candy is for you.”

His actions reminded Hazel of her Leila at home, and she smiled and politely declined, “Thank you, Howie, but |

don’t eat candy. Just keep it.”

Hazel carefully explained the medication instructions to Howie's grandma again and took the chance to hurry

back while it wasn’t raining heavily.

peaceful world into a completely different sight. In the village, many people wearing raincoats were coming and

going, repairing the roofs in the pouring rain.

The trees by the roadside were blown crooked.

She hurriedly walked back to her residence in a raincoat, and from a distance, she saw a man walking towards

her.

The man hurriedly walked amid the storm.

His sudden appearance brought a hint of mystery and uncertainty to the storm. Several car lights behind him

were on, illuminating his tall and slender figure. The simple black raincoat outlined his strong build, and under

the brim of his hat, his eyes were darker than the heavily clouded sky.

When Gabriel arrived at Waterbrook Village, the sky was darker than the middle of the night. Compared to other

areas in Aspen, the rainfall in Waterbrook Village was relatively better. He arrived just as the rain lessened, and

the river outside the village was not yet so severely flooded.

The intensified water flow caused by the heavy rain partially submerged the Tappan Zee Bridge, but it did not

prevent the specially raised off-road vehicle from driving across. He held a sturdy black umbrella in his hand and

marched directly through the water in his military boots, walking quickly in the direction of the village.

The raindrops blown onto Gabriel's face by the strong wind were mixed with coldness and dampness,

continuously streaming down his well-defined cheeks.

Hazel was filled with confusion, wondering why anyone would cto Waterbrook Village in such weather.

She stopped in her tracks and saw him striding towards her, appearing lonely and determined in the rain. The

closer he got, the more familiar Hazel felt.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning split the sky and illuminated the man striding towards her.

How could it be Gabriel?

At that moment, Gabriel also caught sight of Hazel. Despite the raincoat covering her, her pants were already

soaked through, and her clothes clung tightly to her skin, making her look even thinner and frailer.

The rain mercilessly slid down his jawline, wetting the collar of his garment. The tightly pursed thin lips

concealed Gabriel's worries in his heart at this moment. Without hesitation, he quickened his pace and rushed

into the rain curtain, weaving through the pouring rain, and running towards Hazel.

“Gabriel, what are you doing h...”

The black umbrella was thrown aside as the man tightly embraced Hazel, who was wearing a raincoat. His grip

was so tight that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her into his bones, allowing the rainwater to hit his face.

Hazel was stiff as a board and dared not move at all.

The sudden downpour didn’t cause her much fright and panic, but the man tightly holding her took her by

surprise.

The courtyard at the village entrance, the room where Hazel temporarily stayed. Two raincoats were hanging on

the hooks of the door, with the hems dripping water continuously. The fire in the fireplace was burning just right,

and as soon as one entered, there was a warm blast that dispelled the chill from the body.

Hazel had already changed out of her damp clothes and was now sitting beside the fireplace to warm herself.

Gabriel, who cin carrying a glass of tea, had also changed into new clothes. His hair was still wet, with a few

strands falling on his forehead, giving him a very fresh and handsome.

appearance.

Gabriel said, “Have stea.”

She glanced at the deep blue thermos cup in his hand and didn’t immediately take it.

Could this thermos be the one he used before?

She didn’t want to continue sharing a thermos with her ex-husband after their divorce. Just as she was about to

refuse, Gabriel saw through her concerns in her eyes and reassured her, “Don’t worry, it’s brand new.”

Hazel was at a loss for words.

It was a bit embarrassing to be seen through by him.

Hazel then found an excuse.”l wasn't cold.”

But her hands were forcibly stuffed with a thermos, and she could only say thank you. Hazel sipped the tea in

the thermos flask, feeling the warmth flowing down her throat. Gabriel sat by the only table in the room,

frowning as the window, which was being blown by the strong wind outside, made a rustling sound.

Hazel has always had a light sleep and was easily awakened by any noise.

Gabriel glanced at the drafty spot on the window, went to the door, and said something to Matthew. Soon,

someone brought nails and a hammer, and Gabriel himself reinforced the two windows in the house with wooden

boards.

After all the processing was done, the sound of the shaking window did indeed decrease significantly.

Hazel was silent.
