Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240

Owen stayed with Betty. He cooked for her, fed her, helped her take the medicine, and checked on her from time to time.

Betty forced a faint smile. “I am lucky I get help whenever I need it.”

The rain was so heavy that it drowned out Betty’s feeble voice.

Owen failed to hear Betty clearly, so he leaned over. “Betty, how are you feeling?”

“Much better,” Botty said. She looked in the direction of the window. “It has been quite a long time since the last heavy rain like this. I don’t think that the medical team can make it tonight”

On the way to Jamelan, Aaron was at the wheel while Owen enjoyed the view.

Owen noticed the steep mountains, the cracks on them, and the rubble at their foot.

It was easy to tell that there were mudslides from time to time.

Owen’s heart sank. “Betty, did any mudslides happen on the path leading to this village?”

Betty clutched her quilt and said, “There was one many years ago. Not a severe one!”

However, the rain was relentless tonight. It was pitch dark. One couldn’t see or hear anything in such heavy rain.

On such a rainy night, any danger might happen in this mountainous area.

Owen’s phone buzzed, and there came a message from Winston. The rain is so heavy that the medical team can’t make it tonight. They will spend the night in town and come tomorrow morning.

The town wasn’t far away from Jamelan, just about a twenty–minute drive.

Betty sighed in relief. “Great. I am fine, so go get some rest.” She could walk after taking the medicine.

Owen intended to spend the night in Betty’s house. He needed to go somewhere before he went to bed. “I will sleep on your couch tonight. Call me if you need help. Now, I need to go out for a while!”

“Thank you,” Betty said.

“You are welcome.”

The moment Owen walked out of the house, the wind whipped him, and the rain soaked his trouser legs.

The winter rain was icy cold, and the wind was bitter and biting.

The medical team could stay in town, and Aria would come for sure.

How bad the weather was! Owen grabbed his umbrella and plunged into the downpour.

The rain pounded against the car windshield. The vipers worked at full speed, but Aria couldn’t see the road ahead,

At such a difficult moment, her good memory helped guide her forward, but she didn’t drive fast.

In the darkness, Owen in a raincoat held a flashlight in his hand. As he walked on, his heart pounded like mad.

He had called Aria many times, but she didn’t answer any of them.

Owen walked out of the village and quickened his pace.

Two beams of headlights flickered in the distance. Owen couldn’t help but move faster as his heart leapt with hope.

A thunderous sound drowned out the noise caused by the rain. Then, the headlights ahead vanished in an instant.
