Chapter 1625 They Are Not Stupid


    Not far from where they had pitched their tents, a massive boulder had tumbled down, causing andslide in a section of the mountain terrain.


    "That was so dangerous! Didn''t we check it just yesterday? It should be safe here, right?"


    If it weren''t for human intervention, this would not have arisen naturally.


    Cecilia looked at the scene before her, a shiver of fear running through her. "My goodness, if the rain had been any heavier yesterday, our tent could have been flooded or crushed by rocks." Nathaniel walked over and reassured her, "Don''t worry, good people will always receive blessings from God."


    Cecilia nodded. "Mhm."


    The teachers were also taken aback by everything that had happened.


    With the rain now stopped, they were relieved that no idents had urred. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have been able to take responsibility for it.


    Miranda had sent people to scout this location. Such a major issue should not have arisen.


    If these massive rocks and soil had been washed away by the heavy rain, multiple families would have been in danger of disaster.


    Confronted with such circumstances, the teachers couldn''t afford to take things lightly anymore. They instructed everyone to take a break and arranged for them to stay at a local guesthouse for the night. "That''s great. Staying in a guesthouse is much safer than camping outdoors. It''s just too risky," the parents unanimously agreed.


    They began packing their bags.


    At that moment, in the city at the foot of the mountain, Miranda paced back and forth, frequently checking her phone for any news about casualties caused by andslide.


    However, it was already past nine in the morning, yet nothing had happened.


    Felix was already up early. "Mommy, why do we have to leave the mountain? My stomach doesn''t hurt at all."


    Miranda was growing impatient. "Just listen to me and be good."


    "Mommy, the teacher said we''re going hiking today. I want to go and pick some fruits and mushrooms."


    Miranda was considering how to soothe him when she saw a message from the teacher.


    It read: Ms. Miranda, how is Felix feeling? We had a slight identst night, so we''ve decided to stay at a guesthouse tonight. I''ll send you the address. If Felix is well enough, you''re wee to join us.


    Miranda''s heart leaped into her throat in an instant. She replied: What happened?


    The teacher took a picture and sent it over: Perhaps the rain was too heavy yesterday, causing andslide. Fortunately, everyone is all right. Everyone is all right...


    A chill ran through Miranda''s heart.


    They''re just too lucky.


    She was feeling upset when, at that moment, a call came in from Robert.


    "Miranda, we''ve got a problem."


    "What is it?" Miranda asked in confusion.


    "The people we sent outst night haven''t returned. I suspect Nathaniel has discovered them."


    "What do we do now? You don''t think Nathaniel already knows it was us, do you?"


    The mere thought of her hus


    Adrian, being imprisoned by Nathaniel for merely flirting with Cecilia, and living a life worse than death, filled her with fear.


    "Don''t worry, those people won''t rat us out. They''re not stupid. They''ll just say it was an ident." Robert was not worried about this. "It''s just that our n failed, and we''ve


    allowed them to live a few meeln


    days. Continue participating in the school activities with Felix and let me know if anything happens."


    Miranda let out a slight sigh of relief. "All right."


    She ended the call, turning to Felix. "Let''s go. We''re heading to the guesthouse."


    "Awesome!" Felix was absolutely thrilled.
