The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 618

Noelle still couldn't shake her unease. But there was nothing she could do by following after them now, so she stayed where she was, watching them. Only when Seline and Rosie had become a speck in the distance did she finally enter the café.

There weren't many tourists around, so the café was nearly empty of customers.

Noelle chose a seat by the window. From time to time, she would either glance at the time or look up at the sky, which was still dark and overcast.

The sense of foreboding Noelle was feeling grew stronger. She silently blamed herself for letting Rosie have her way. Once they got back, no matter how much Rosie begged or cried, she was taking her back to the hotel.

Just as she was thinking that, a loud boom suddenly echoed from the distance. The thunderous sound made Noelle's hand tremble.

Everyone in the café heard it, too, and they quickly stopped whatever they were doing and rushed outside.

Noelle instantly turned pale in the face as she bolted out after them.

The ski resort was near the peak of the mountain, offering a clear view of the snow-covered slopes. From here, they could see the snow on the opposite mountain cascading down at an alarming speed. The sight was not only visually stunning but also deeply terrifying.

A few people screamed, and chaos erupted as everyone tried to flee.

Staff members quickly reassured them that the avalanche wouldn't reach this area, but as a safety precaution, it was still best to evacuate.

Noelle's face had turned ashen by then. She grabbed a staff member's arm and asked, "Is that where the ski area is?"

"Yes, but we have professionals on-site. They would've predicted the avalanche and taken the tourists to safety, so don't worry."

The staff member's words were meant to comfort, but Noelle could see the panic in her eyes. She immediately tried calling Seline, but her phone was off.

Noelle could feel a creeping numbness spreading through her fingers. She turned to the staff member, only to find her in the same situation—unable to reach anyone.
