Chapter 21
Dark clouds rumbled in the sky with thunder and lightning roared.
Ona rainy night several people walked along the rugged mountain road and came to a cave house finally,
“A few days ago, our village had been informed of the relocation because of the torrential rain. There is no one living down the mountain. The river has already surged up. The mountain road you are going back to is very dangerous with the torrential flood at any time. You can stay here for the night.”
With the help of this warmhearted
villager, Leo, they followed him here and arrived at the simple but spacious
Cave house.
“Is it safe here?” Charles looked at the howling storm outside and felt a little
uneasy.
“This mountain is built of the hard granite, so the cave here is very strong.”
After hearing what he said, they were

alert.
“Light more fire, take off your clothes and dry them” Leo went into the kitchen and brought out a large pile of firewood
Without any hesitation, Charles and the others quickly piled up the firewood and took off their sticky clothes. When Christina saw these men taking off their clothes together, she immediately turned around awkwardly.
“Don’t take off your pants, understand?” Patrick, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
When Charles heard him, he remembered that Christina was here: It was really awkward.
He took off his coat and shirt his chest naked, but he was still in his trousers, He moved close to the fire and sat
Cross-legged, letting the heat of the fire dry his pants. His whole body was sticky and uncomfortable.
“No signal. We can’t get through with
anyone else.”
While they were lighting the fire, they discussed. “Cory and others should find a place to shelter from the rain.”
Christina was a little surprised when she heard the name Cory.
Patrick’s eyes had been fixed on her, so
the surprise on her was clearly seen, which made him have a special feeling
He pursed his lips tightly, and his expression was complicated.
“You can call me Anna. I have some
clean clothes. Come in to change with
me.” In a short while, a plainly dressed woman came out of the inner room and smiled kindly at Christina.
Christina nodded at her. “Thank you.”
Christina was 1.68 meters tall. Anna’s dark blue cotton-padded jacket and
her long-sleeved trousers were much shorter in her, but now she didn’t care
about it, so she thanked Anna and walked out.
Anna came out with her and saw the
bruises on her fair wrists and ankles. She was shocked, “How did you get all these bruises? Oh, they had inflammation.”
As soon as Anna said so, Patrick stepped forward subconsciously.
Christina looked up at him, as if she was afraid of him, and instinctively took a step back
When Patrick saw her like this, his expression became complicated and he turned his gaze as if he had not been looking at her before
