Chapter 426 So that was why. I knew it. If Colin had made the decision himself to attend the conference, he would have toldearlier.

I whispered to Professor King, "I would've done the same.

He felt guilty after hearing what I said. "I can only hope that Colin is safe. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. He wouldn't have been in danger if I hadn't nominated him. He's my best student. His safety means everything to me.

"Don't say that, Professor King. No pain, no gain. This is a trial Colin must undertake. Come. I have faith in him. He must be waiting for us to rescue him somewhere." It was my turn to console him. Moved, he patted on my shoulder and nodded. Tears welled up in his eyes. "Yes, we must have faith. Let's go." Professor King and I helped each other as we walked with John to lead the way. Behind us were staff members who wore the suniform from an organization. They were around 27 or 28 years old, and they carried many things with them. They seemed to be struggling.

Winston caught up to us from behind and asked if he could team up! Truth be told, I was reluctant to have him.

1. us.

When Colin heard that he had confessed to me, he threw a huge jealous tantrum. It took a lot of consoling and coddling to calm him down. If I found him with Winston, he might throw another tantrum. I wasn't going to take that risk.

Winston was smart. He noticed that I was reluctant to have him and understood my concerns right away. Instead of saying that I was wrong, he explained that I was a woman and Professor King was senile. We might struggle to handle an emergency.

He then emphasized that he was young and strong, so he would be an extra safety net. Besides, we weren't traveling alone. Professor King was there too. So, he toldto put my mind at ease.

Professor King agreed with him so he let him join us. Not one to defy my professor, I went along with it. The sky turned dark eventually. I saw stormy clouds gathering, foretelling the impending downpour.

The windy and bumpy mountain trails becmore challenging because of the mudslides. There was mud, stones, and broken twigs everywhere. With each step taken, our feet were buried inside the marsh. It was a laborious undertaking.

As we couldn't locate the original path, we could only hike by following the faint footsteps left 12 by the previous individuals.

The ground was coated by a thick layer of mud. The shallowest puddle could swallow our shoes while the deepest puddle could reach our knees. I almost lost my shoes in the marsh several times. After walking for less than 30 feet, my legs were already sore.

In the beginning, I could still chat with Professor King. But as we proceeded, we no longer had the energy to talk. We could only focus on our legs.

Professor King led the way while Winston stayed behind. I was m sandwiched in the middle. I stepped on where Professor King previously stepped on and proceeded carefully.

When John said that we had traveled for more than one mile, I looked oked at the time. It took us one and a half O hours. The road ahead could only becmore challenging. It'd take even longer to reach. Our traveling speed irritated me. My throat suddenly felt dry, and I began heaving.

Uncle Austin and Felix caught up to m us. Felix overtook Winston and walked withWorried, he asked, "Did you catch a cold? You keep coughing." "I'm fine. Look after Uncle Austin," I said, not wanting to talk to him too much.
