Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 43

Claudia was sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the spa, scrolling her phone. She called a dozen cabs and raised the price again and again, but no one took the order.

Due to the sudden heavy rain and the remote location, it was hard for her to call a cab to go back to town, not to mention that she also had to go through the sea-crossing bridge.

The bridge was out of repair. When it rained heavily, cars were often submerged, so no one wanted to risk his life to make this little money.

The spa was a few kilometers away from the nearest subway station. If Claudia walked to the station, there might be a chance that she went back to town.

It seemed that the rain wouldn’t stop in a while. Looking at the terrible weather outside, Claudia couldn’t help but frown.

The staff of the spa walked up to her and said with a smile, “Mrs. Crawford, it’s pouring down outside. If you want to spend the night here, we can get you a room.”

Spend the night here...

Suddenly, the name “Conrad” flashed across Claudia’s mind. She still had a baby at home, and she had to nurse him. Her baby didn’t have powered milk at all.

This thought in mind, Claudia shook her head immediately and typed on her phone, “Don’t bother. I need to go back.”

The staff didn’t know what to do now. Normally, the place would arrange a car to send Claudia back home, not to mention that she was Mrs. Crawford. But since the weather was terrible outside, they didn’t do anything in case something bad happened.

Claudia couldn’t wait any longer at the thought of Conrad at home. She asked for an umbrella from the spa and walked to the nearest subway station. She had to go back to town!

It was so windy that Claudia’s umbrella turned inside out, and the pelting rain soaked her clothes in an instant.

The road in the suburbs was rough and wet; in addition, the heavy rain restricted visibility, so Claudia couldn’t walk in those heels. She took them off and held them in her hands, walking barefoot on the ground.

Due to the roadwork on her way to the subway station, the road was so muddy and bumpy for Claudia to walk on. Suddenly, something cut the sole of her foot, and she gave a grimace of pain.

Finally, when she walked out of the roadwork site, Claudia checked the soles of her feet, finding that there were a lot of cuts on them. Those deep ones were oozing blood, and it hurt so much when they touched rain.

Claudia managed to go ahead, but her feet were too painful to keep on walking. Now it was raining more heavily than just now. A strong wind blew Claudia’s umbrella off, though it made no difference to her whether to hold it or not, and it slipped out of her hand.

Claudia’s feet were hurting badly. She couldn’t stand the pain anymore and took out her phone, trying to call a cab again, only to see a dozen missed calls on the screen. But before she could see the caller ID clearly, the phone was dead.

Claudia froze and the phone fell to the ground.

Coincidentally, the phone fell into a small puddle next to her. Claudia had to crouch down and fumble around in the dirty water.

At last, Claudia got her phone back. Before she tried to turn on the phone again, a squeal of brakes came into her ear.

Claudia looked up in a flurry. Her vision blurred in the driving rain, her long hair soaked, her face pale, she was like a deer caught in the headlights, vulnerable and miserable.

The car door was pushed open. A big and tall figure got off with a huge black umbrella in his hand.

Claudia was unable to make out who it was because the figure was standing against the light.

It was when the handsome and tall man walked straight up to her that Claudia saw who he was. He grabbed her slender arm with his strong hand, gave it a sharp pull and yanked her up from the ground.

Now the huge black umbrella kept her off the heavy rain.

Claudia stared at Scott in front of her in astonishment. When she was still in confusion, Scott said, “Get into the car first!”

Before Claudia could react, Scott grabbed her arm and squeezed her into the car as he spoke.
