Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1525

Luca put the trekking poles away. She saw that Luke's hair was dripping with water. She thought of taking the paper towels from her backpack to dry his hair, but her backpack was not waterproof, and the paper towels had already turned into a pile of mush.

There was nothing she could do about that, and she closed her backpack.

Luke had always kept an impeccable appearance, so Luca was quite surprised to see that unkempt side of his. In any case, her appearance was in the same sorry state.

"What do we do now, Mr. Crawford?" Luca asked for his opinion.

Luke took out his phone. His clothes were soaked, and his phone could not be turned on. "Can you use your phone?"

Luca took out her phone from her backpack. Her phone had been enhanced by the people on the Island of Despair, so it was waterproof.

Even so, it had already turned itself off. She looked at Luke and said, "I can only turn it on after it's dry."

Without a usable phone, they could not call Jason or inform the villa staff about their predicament.

"We'll have to wait for the rain to stop," Luke said decisively. That was all that they could do.

Luca nodded. Her waist still hurt, and it would be too risky for them to walk down the mountain in the rain.

Meanwhile, Jason and Tina managed to reach the summit right before the rain started. Jason looked down the other path and waited for Luke and Luca to arrive at any time.

"Why isn't Mr. Crawford and Dr. Craw here yet?" Tina wondered. She had studied the map, and the two paths were almost the same distance. Moreover, Luke and Luca were in good health, so they should not have been so much slower than Jason and Tina. Could something have happened while on their way up?

Jason looked at the sky. He was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. It would be raining soon.

A staff member saw that Jason and Tina had no intention of leaving. He went up to them and reminded them, "Are you going to stay here for long? It's going to rain, and it won't be letting up any time soon. Why don't you go down the mountain by cable car?"

"We're still waiting for our friends. They promised to meet us here," Tina said. She looked at the dark, roiling clouds and guessed that a storm was coming.

She had checked the weather forecast earlier that morning, and it had said that the skies would be clear. That was why she had proceeded with the hiking plan.

Tina was quite frustrated. A storm on the mountain was much more dangerous than a storm on level ground.

"Mr. Doyle, why don't you give Mr. Crawford a call?" Tina said.

She dared not call Luke. She was the one who suggested the race, and she was afraid that Luke might blame her.

Jason nodded. The rain started to fall the moment he took out his phone. Lightning flashed in the sky.

"Oh no, Mr. Crawford and Dr. Craw are not here yet," Tina said worriedly. While she looked at Jason trying to reach Luke, she comforted herself by thinking that Luke and Luca were probably taking shelter from the rain somewhere.

"Mr. Crawford isn't picking up," Jason said after making several attempts. Luke did not pick up the call even until it cut off naturally.

"I'll try to call Dr. Craw." Tina took out her phone and called Luca. No one answered.

"How is it?" Jason looked at her grimly.

Tina shook her head.
