Chapter 72: A Precious Gift

Mary got up and went to the window to look down at the streets.

Warren City was flooded. The water levels were high and there were signs of flood damage already.

In this situation, helicopters couldn’t get in and they couldn’t drive out; it seemed that they were trapped here.

Fortunately, they were staying in a place on much higher ground.

Mary looked back at the group. “I think we might need to buy some more supplies.” She said.

Monroe finally looked at her. “What do you think?” He asked.

He was not looking at her at all!

Mary felt a little angry. She looked at Adela. “Kayaks, rain gear, generators, water bottles and… we had better get a yacht!”

If there was heavy rain for the next week, they would be trapped here for at least a week!

Mary had to prepare for the worst.

Monroe felt a little unhappy when she avoided his eyes.

Although he had thought of all these things last night and had contacted many suppliers, he was still surprised by Mary’s intelligence when he heard her say these things.

She really did not look like a 19-year-old girl at that moment.

Her mind, her sense of responsibility, her calm demeanor in times of trouble, kindness, magnanimity, intelligence, and beauty, along with these days of being together in close quarters with her, allowed him to get to know her a little by little.

Mary was like a precious gift. The more he got to know her, the more he felt that she was incredible.

And only occasionally she would reveal the mannerisms and appearance that a girl her age should have.

Monroe stood up unscrupulously while Mary was not paying attention. “You’re right. You! You go rest in the hotel, and we’ll go shopping!”

Mary said nothing.

Did she look like a house-keeping puppy to him?

Mary watched everyone leave, but she was still sitting in front of the French windows, looking helplessly at the storm outside.

Adela walked at the back of the crowd. He looked pitifully at Mary’s back as she sat by the window. He turned to look at Jim. “I feel that there’s something strange between the Boss and Lady Mary!”

Jim stared coldly at Adela. “You want to be kicked out of the Raging Flame Group?”

Adela asked, “Am I crazy?”

Jim replied, “Then how dare you talk about their private matters?”

Adela covered her mouth, not daring to say another word.

Mary watched the rain getting heavier. She had nothing to do, so she went downstairs to check on the situation.

Although the hotel’s flood prevention measures were good, the garage was starting to fill with water, and the first floor was showing signs of being unable to keep the water out.

The hall was filled with people questioning the situation, and many of them were already feeling anxious.

The hotel lobby manager had no choice but to come forward and ease them of their worries. “Hello, dear guests. Please rest assured that we have prepared sufficient supplies. We will definitely ensure everyone has food and drinks available. Also, please do not run around until the heavy rain stops. Stay in your rooms. We will wait for the government to rescue us, but at the same time, we will also do all our duties…”

Mary came to the gate, she saw that the flood bag, to keep the water out, was almost washed away by the torrent. The rain outside was pouring down like water from the sky. It was no exaggeration.

Suddenly, she saw a little girl and her grandmother holding hands in the rising water not far away. They were washed down to the ground!

With the current, they screamed and were rushed forward

Mary did not think about anything. She grabbed the raincoat by the side and rushed out!

In the heavy rain, she could hardly open her eyes.

The rain hit her face, and the wind blew the raincoat.

Mary ran forward with difficulty but without fear. She quickly stopped the old woman and the girl in front of her and pulled them up!

“Thank, thank you…”

The girl’s lips trembled as she quickly blinked her eyes and looked at Mary.

Mary pulled both people in and took a full fifteen minutes to return to the hotel lobby in front of her.

“Why did you bring people into the hotel? It’s so dirty!”

“Exactly! You got all the water on the carpet!”

“Why are you pretending to be a good person? What kind of bad luck would that bring here!”
