Chapter 887


    “James!” Ashlyn called out.


    James turned over his shoulder to see Ashlyn’s slender figure before him. Looking stern, he


    responded, “Ashlyn, it’s dangerous here.”


    “It’s fine.” Ashlyn shook her head. “I’m here with some medical personnel who are bringing down


    medical supplies. Where should we put them?”


    “The vigers are seeking refuge on a hill. There is an old bomb shelter left over from the war nearby


    the hill that is dry enough for you to put the supplies there. I’ll ask Joseph to bring you there.” James


    turned to Joseph, who was busy digging out survivors with a hoe. “Joe, bring your Aunt Ashlyn to ce


    the supplies in the shelter!”


    Joseph quickly wiped the mud and water from his face before sprinting toward Ashlyn.


    Why did Dad yell so loudly? Now the whole world knows I have an aunt who is the same age as me.


    After they got to work, Lucas’ ne arrived.


    He had brought along a group of volunteers from Nn Group, as well as a generous selection of food


    and beverage.


    Recruiting volunteers from Nn Group and South Star Airlines was time-consuming as both


    organizations were sizable and employed more employees.


    That was why Lucas arrived a bitter than Ashlyn.


    Ashlyn and the rest were busy moving the medical supplies. It was still raining heavily when she gazed


    at the dark sky.


    All of a sudden, there was a loud thunderp, and a brilliant bolt of lightning illuminated the sky.


    The ground started shaking again.


    The volunteers quickly dropped the boxes they were holding and screamed in terror, running away in


    search of a safe ce to hide.


    No one was prepared to die here.


    Ashlyn steadied herself and hollered, “Don’t panic! Don’t be scared! Protect yourselves. Your safety is


    far more important than any supplies.”


    Suddenly, a maic voice boomed out through the rain, calming everyone’s nerves. “That was an


    aftershock. Together, we can ovee this! Natural disasters can be intimidating, but it’s ourck of


    courage that we should be afraid of! Everyone, grab the supplies and ce them on the ground neatly.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    The familiar voice caused Ashlyn to whip her head around in shock. She saw a tall figure marching


    toward her in the dark.


    Lucas? He’s here?


    Lucas extended his muscr arms and gently took therge package from her.


    His deep, dark eyes glimmered in the night like a single star in an otherwise dark sky.


    “Honey, leave the hard work to me,” Lucas said. The sight of mud sttered on her face caused his


    heart to constrict in pain. “Leave this to me. You should go and see if the injured vigers need any


    help.”


    Ashlyn nodded. “All right.”


    They only conversed briefly before getting to work.


    Just like twos in the gxy, they crossed each other’s paths momentarily, but that moment was


    forever imprinted on their memories.


    Ashlyn hurried over to the temporary medical shed where her colleagues were doing their best to treat


    the injured vigers.


    The stench of blood permeated the air, apanied by the woeful cries emanating from the vigers.


    “Blood, Dr. Berry. We need more blood. The blood bags we brought aren’t enough. The vigers are


    seriously injured. Many of them need to be amputated. Their bodies were buried under the debris for


    too long, and their bones have been crushed. They can no longer keep their limbs.” An orthopedic


    surgeon quickly ran to Ashlyn with a bag of blood that had been handed to him by a nurse. He was so


    anxious that he was close to tears. “Besides, weck the necessary equipment to perform major


    surgeries.”


    Ashlyn furrowed her brows. “I’ll contact the hospital from the neighboring city to send over a helicopter.


    We can send the severely injured vigers there.”
