From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World

Chapter126.

At the quiet Robinson's villa.

These past two days, Gabriel slept in the guest room. He first went to the children's room to take a look at Jaxon and Joshua, who had already woken up, and then went to the master bedroom to see Leila sleeping soundly.

The youngest Leila, upon learning that her mother was on a business trip, behaved very home without crying or making a fuss.

She seemed to sense something and suddenly murmured, "Dad..."

well at

Gabriel's heart seemed to be immersed in warm spring water. He bent down and kissed her fair cheek, and his large palm gently touched Leila's head.

Gabriel watched gently and said, "I will bring Mom back to you."

Just this morning, Aspen experienced the strongest localized rainfall within a century.

Several cars were parked in front of the Robinson's villa.

Hazel had already changed Jaxon and Joshua to a private kindergarten before she left. The security here is just as good as before, but the teachers here are bound to keep more secrets than the previous ones. For families like theirs, the most dreaded thing was the leakage of their children's information.

They could post their photos, but it was not allowed for outsiders to secretly post pictures of the children. Gabriel arranged a large number of bodyguards to guard around the Robinson's villa because he had to leave Seattle for a few days.

Even the hidden forces were called upon, responsible for picking up and dropping off the two children at school.

"Mr. Campbell, everything has been arranged."

Compared to Ezra, Matthew had a bit more of a dark vibe.

Gabriel said, "Let's go."

On the way to the airport, the radio in the car kept broadcasting.

"Early this morning, Aspen was battered by an intense rainstorm, with rainfall amounts shattering

historical records. As of now,108,762 residents have been affected. The property damage is significant,

with 942 out of 1,862 houses being destroyed. Tragically, the storm has claimed 8 lives, and 27 individuals are still missing.

Aspen Airport has been closed.

Gabriel could only fly to the nearest city where he could land, and then drive to Aspen.

Waterbrook Village is located in the southernmost part of Aspen.

It used to take at least six hours to drive from the airport to Waterbrook Village.

Now, encountering a severe rainstorm, the time will only be longer.

If unfortunately encountering road collapses and interruptions along the way, one was uncertain how long

it would take to reach Waterbrook Village.

Hazel's phone was not disconnected, Gabriel was still worried.

At the entrance of Waterbrook Village, the river flooded severely due to heavy rain.

In the village, earth walls were prevalent, which couldn't fully withstand the erosion of rainwater and easily led to house collapses.

Just in the yard where Hazel and her family lived, two of the four houses collapsed. The remaining people moved into the two adjacent vacant yards. Some places were not protected from the onslaught of the heavy rain and were more or less damaged. Hazel stood in front of the window inside the house, silently gazing at the rain curtain outside. The old window couldn't withstand the fierce wind and rain outside, and raindrops were blown onto her face by the wind.

Although they brought ample supplies and there were no casualties, Hazel still had some concerns. If the rain continued like this, it could easily trigger flash floods.

As long as the rainfall decreased, they could immediately drive away.

But what about the people in the village?

Especially in the village, many elderly people had been weak all the

time.

A sudden rainstorm came, and everyone didn't have time to respond. Many people caught colds and fevers lying in their houses.

Hazel had just asked John to deliver the fever-reducing pills to Raymond and asked him to personally hand them over to the people in the village.

In the rain curtain, a person walked closer and closer from afar.

In such a heavy rain, umbrellas were of little use. John, wearing a black raincoat and military boots, walked through the rain and returned to the yard, with his hair in front already completely

wet.

"Haze, the pills we brought are barely enough, but it won't be sufficient if more people develop a fever later on."

a backup. They also needed to keep a portion of the pills for their people as Although the bodyguards were strong, it was uncertain how long the heavy rain would last and when they would be able to leave. The most important thing was that they dug out the roots of those plants proving that the was not the Seven Stars Reviving Herbs.

Hazel originally planned to stay here for a few days and then continue to explore the mountains.

Depending on the richness of the vegetation on this mountain, there might be this kind of herb growing in some corners.

Once she found it, Leila could

As a mother, she couldn't bear to see her child, who was not even two years old, having to go to the laboratory every three months. Those needles were constantly being stuck into Leila's little body, but also in Hazel's heart.

John knew the effect of this herb, so he accompanied her to come and find it together. "I understood you were worried about Leila, but considering the geographical location of this

His worries, Hazel also thought of.

It took them two days just

Hazel said, "I knew."

Waterbrook Village.

"The houses in the village collapsed severely. You ask Raymond if he needs help repairing the houses."

Speaking of this, John frowned and said, "I asked him just now, and he said there's no need. "He rambled

on about how everything was predestined, without any worry on his face. Most importantly, when I offered him the pills, he flatly refused."

When Hazel returned from the mountains to the village before, she had specifically asked about the situation in Waterbrook Village.

Raymond said that the people in the village were very united and the neighborhood relationships were also very harmonious. However, nowadays, the elderly in the village have been experiencing a persistent fever, and although some people have voluntarily come to deliver medicine to him, he refuses. seem a

Hazel also lowered her eyes and said, "Well, that does

bit strange."

She lowered her voice and reminded, "You and your people keep in touch and be careful of Raymond." John nodded and said, "I will go and have a look again. You stay inside and don't go out." Although there was a drizzle coming into the house, they had collected a lot of firewood in the mountains before the heavy rain. After heating the fireplace, it wasn't so cold.

There was still firewood piled up in the corner.

Although it wasn't particularly dry, it could at least burn for a long time. She closed the drafty window, lay back on the bed, and started contemplating her next move. This storm was even more serious than the one in Nyack before.

The infrastructure of Waterbrook Village was even worse, as the fallen trees directly damaged the surrounding power towers.

There was no electricity in the village now.

When Hazel's group arrived, they brought two generators that could provide basic emergency electricity.

At this moment, she did not know that Gabriel was on his way to find her. The landslides along the way directly blocked the road ahead, and this road was the only way to enter the village.

The car's rear window was rolled down slightly, revealing Gabriel's handsome eyebrow shape and deep ink-black eyes.

Matthew hurriedly walked back after checking the road ahead.

"Mr. Campbell, the flood had washed away half of the roadbed ahead, and the mountain had 24.9%

Although the preparation for dealing with the situation was made in advance, considering the current road conditions, it would take at least several hours to clear all the gravel from half of the road to allow vehicles to pass.

Gabriel's jaw tightened, "Everyone get

Matthew took out the walkie-talkie and conveyed his instructions.

Seeing Gabriel in a raincoat, he hesitated for a moment and quickly said, "Mr. Campbell, leave it to us

over there. The rain is too heavy. You better wait in the car."

Gabriel ignored his words and quickly put on the raincoat, opened the car door, and got out.

The black military boots stepped on the water, causing tiny splashes. He stood tall like a pine tree, exuding a chilling determination.

Gabriel's face turned stern and he said, "I couldn't wait any longer." The longer the time dragged on, the more danger there Gabriel said firmly, "Today, I must arrive at Waterbrook Village."
