Chapter 749 He Would Do Anything for Her
Stanford checked the tunnel with a shlight. Taking two steps, he found something on the ground.
He crouched down and looked at the pavement.
"A car went through here not long ago," said he deeply.
There were shallow tire tracks on the floor that they could only find when they looked closely.
Collin stroked his chin and smiled meaningfully.
"Only a car has passed through the tunnel. The tunnel hasn''t been used for years."
The insides were frozen, and the dust was thicker than his fingers.
The tunnel was dark and cold. If it hadn''t been the car, they would never have found the tunnel.
"I wonder who woulde in and out of Rad at such time. It would be great if we can see him.
Without him, we don''t know how long it would take us to get to Rad."
Collin smiled teasingly, taking a liking to the unknown man.
Stanford wasn''t as rxed as Collin was. The tire track showed that the car hade and gone in a
few days.
And when it came back, it was obviously a lot heavier than when it left.
This meant that Florence and Ernest didn''t take the car out of Rad. They were still stuck in that
country for now.

Probably they hadn''t gotten the medicine.
He had to hurry to help them.
Stanford stood up and instructed, "Find out the details about the tunnel, including its length. We have to
be ready to set off."
Although they were already in the tunnel, they did not have a car. The tunnel was very long and it
would take them lots of time to finish it.
Stanford had no idea of what was going on with Florence and Ernest and whether they were in danger
or not.
He needed to get here quickly.
At themand, the bodyguards immediately took out their personal equipment and be prepared for
their departure.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the tunnel, there was a stretch version of a top-of-the-line SUV speeding
along.
Inside the car, half of the seats had been removed. In the center of the car was a giant cactus.
Hector was sitting in the passenger seat, looking over his shoulder from time to time to see if the cactus
was fine.
He didn''t know if the cactus could stand the cold weather. He hoped that it wouldn''t die before they
arrived in Rad.
Or he would fail the test.
Hector turned to the driver and said, "Drive faster."
The driver took a look at the speed and looked helpless.
The driver said weakly, "Sir, the road is unused and unmaintained for a long time. There are many
invisible potholes on the road. And the weather is so cold that the road is icy. I dare not to drive too
fast."
Or they might have a car ident.
Hector was a good driver, so of course he knew it.
Frowning irritably, he looked ahead the dark tunnel.
At such slow speed, it would take them two or three days to get back to Rad.
He had only left a few days, and he missed Florence so much that he wanted to fly right back to her.
He was sure that Florence missed him, too.
The driver sensed Hector''s agitation and winced in fear.
"It would have taken at least two months to get out of Rad and back. Ms. Fraser knows it would take
that long, so she wouldn''t miss you so much now."
"You reopened the tunnel for Ms. Fraser and go back in such a few days. She would definitely be
surprised and happy to see youe back so soon!"
With that, Hector calmed down a bit.
Yes, Florence would be surprised to see him back so soon with her favorite cactus, and would jump
into his arms.
It was worth going through all the trouble for Florence.
Feeling that the Duke was less angry, the driver quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped away the
cold sweat on the forehead.
Luckily, he had dodged the bullet.
He felt a little scared at looking at the dark tunnel.
After decades of driving for the royal family, he didn''t expect that he would get the chance to drive in
the fabled tunnel.
This tunnel was actually built decades ago.
At that time, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to build the tunnel through the snowy
mountains. It was too difficult and steep. Many people had died during the building.
It could be said that the tunnel was built with the blood and tears of the Rad people.
However, the tunnel had not seeded in opening Rad to the outside world formunication and
trade.
After the opening of the tunnel, the country sent envoys to make friends with the outside world, but at
that time the outside world was in wars and the people were destitute.
Compared with the peaceful Rad, it was far too dangerous outside.
The royal family began to worry about the safety of their own country when they saw such a tragic
situation outside. And they worried that they would be annexed by the powerful and aggressive
countries.
So, in order to protect themselves, they sealed the tunnel and not allow Rad people to use it.
As the royal family rarely mentioned the tunnel, few people in Rad knew about the tunnel.
And only the members in the royal family knew it.
The nationalw had banned using the tunnel, and it took Hector lots of efforts to get the approval from
the royal family to reopen the tunnel.
Hector''s purpose was just to bring back a cactus for Florence.
When Hector returned, the tunnel would be sealed up again.
Barring idents, it wouldn''t be opened again for the following decades.
The driver, who was appointed to make this trip, felt it was one of the most remarkable and
extraordinary experiences of his career.
Florence cooked the porridge for three hours. She deliberately dyed the time so that Ernest could
sleep longer. With great care, she finally got a mellow porridge ready.
She walked over to Ernest''s desk with two bowls of porridge and put them down gently.
She was hesitant whether to wake up Ernest, but as she approached him, Ernest woke up.
He raised a bright smile and said, "Thank you, Florence."
Hearing the simple words, Florence felt her efforts paid off.
It was easy to be happy.
After breakfast, Ernest''s spirits were much better.
Then he began to work again.
