Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 430

My loud voice turned the heads of those resting around us. They looked at me, and I realized that I must have disturbed them.

"Calm down, Luna. You alone won't be able to do much. We must listen to the organizer. Get some rest now. How are you supposed to take care of Colin if he turns out to be injured and you're too tired to look after him?"

Professor King chastised me sternly. Uncle Austin came and told me that the professor was right. I should behave.

He also added that he was just as desperate as me, but now wasn't the time to play the hero.

Unable to argue against four other people, I found a spot next to Professor King and lay down obediently.

Perhaps I was truly tired. The adrenaline that sustained me just now finally wore off. Within minutes, I fell asleep. I slept so soundly that I didn't dream at all.

It was a very long slumber, and I was woken up by thunderous cheers. I opened my eyes. The sky was blue, and the flowers around me were blossoming. I was on the wooden plank that doubled as a bed.

Before me, the tunnel we dug had finally reached its end. The whole group cheered loudly inside as they tossed their helmets to the sky.

While I was asleep, not only did they finish digging the tunnel, but they saved everyone too. That explained why everyone was celebrating.

I was over the moon and excited. I got up swiftly and made a beeline for the tunnel.

The rescue mission was a resounding success. Workers exited the tunnel with a bright smile—all of them in their early 20s. They wore a wide grin on their faces as they discussed where they should go tonight to celebrate.

The tunnel was narrow but crowded. It took me a while to reach the end of the tunnel.

Inside were several rundown houses that couldn't even be called houses anymore. My friends were standing by the entrance and looking inside.

Professor King saw me and shot me a big smile. Then, he pointed inside. "Colin is safe. He'll be out soon."
