Chapter 277 Why Did You Take the Hit for Me?

He seemed not to care, continuing, "Why did you take the hit for me?"

He wouldn't have developed a liking for me because of this, would he?

Putting down the water glass, I hurriedly began, "Because I..."

"Thud, thud..." The hospital room door was suddenly knocked. Both Daniel and I instinctively looked towards the door. It was Cory who came in. Anxiety was unmistakable on his face.

Seeing this, I thought something had happened to the Conner Group, and asked, "Cory, what's wrong?"

Looking at me, Cory paused and said, "Mount Snake has sunk again."

I paused for a few seconds, then suddenly realized, my heart pounding, I looked at him and said, "My mother and Alexander..."

"Completely lost contact!" Cory spat out these four words almost in despair. He was older, probably came too hastily, his face was pale at this moment.

I froze all over, feeling as if a huge stone weighing a thousand pounds was suddenly pressing on my chest. My mind went blank for a moment before I regained my senses. Looking at Cory, I said, "I'm going to Dracview to find them."

"I'm with you!" Cory spoke.

I hesitated for a few seconds, looking at him and said, "Cory, you can't

go, the Conner Group needs you." I had just come out of the police station, and although the Conner Group had managed to survive, it was probably in a mess. If he also followed me to Dracview, I'm afraid that by the time we come back, the Conner Group would have changed its

name.

Cory slightly furrowed his brows, knowing his concern, but also understanding the urgency of the situation. He sighed softly and nodded, "Alright, I'll find someone to accompany you."

"I'll go with you!" Daniel, who was standing by, suddenly spoke up, looking at me, "I happen to be free recently, and you're injured. I wouldn't feel at ease letting you go alone."

I looked at him, instinctively refusing, "No need, I've been to Dracview..."

"The mountain collapsed, a slight negligence could trigger a series of natural disasters such as mudslides, landslides, and even earthquakes." Daniel's face was serious, "If you go alone, it would be difficult for you to save yourself in case of danger. Sebastian and I will go with you, at least we can look out for each other."

After speaking, he suddenly took out his phone, dialed a number, and said to the other end, "Get ready, we're heading to Dracview immediately."

The person on the other end of the phone should have been Sebastian. Not hearing what was said on the other end, Daniel hung up after giving his instructions, looking at me and saying, "We're short on time, let's go."

The safety of my mother made me want to rush to Dracview immediately, without any thought for anything else.

Upon seeing this, I grabbed my coat and phone, said a few words to

Cory, and hurriedly left the ward. Daniel seemed to be very efficient in his work, arranging other matters over the phone all the way.

We hurried out of the elevator, walking briskly. As we left, a familiar voice stopped us, "Ms. Conner."

I quickly turned to look, it was Captain Lucas. My mind was still immersed in worries about my mother. Looking at Captain Lucas, I asked blankly, "Captain Lucas, why are you in the hospital?" Seeing my anxiety, with Daniel by my side, he furrowed his brows and asked, "What happened? Do you need help?"

I shook my head, noticing his red, swollen eyes and pale face, I couldn't help but ask again, "Are you okay?"

He shook his head, his face looking somewhat distressed as he said, "Something happened at home. You go ahead. If you need any help, give me a call."

I nodded, not bothering to think too much, and hurriedly left the hospital with Daniel.

Sebastian's efficiency was indeed impressive. As soon as Daniel and I left, he had driven the car to the hospital entrance. It was a black SUV, very domineering.

Before I could react, Daniel had pushed me into the back seat, then followed suit. Once settled, he simply said, "Let's go!"

Sebastian didn't say much, he just started the car.

It was a four-hour drive from River City to Dracview, but from Dracview to Mount Snake...

I forgot, I had been to Dracview, but I had never been to Mount Snake.

On the bus, I kept trying to call my mother and Alexander, but to no avail. I couldn't get through at all, there was no signal in the

mountains, let alone after the collapse. I knew the chances of reaching them were slim, but I couldn't help it, I was restless.
