Chapter 887 Help From The Neighboring City
“James!” Ashlyn called out.
James turned over his shoulder to see Ashlyn's slender figure before him. Looking stern, he responded, “Ashlyn, it's
dangerous here.”
“It's fine.” Ashlyn shook her head. “I'm here with some medical personnel who are bringing down medical supplies.
Where should we put them?”
“The villagers are seeking refuge on a hill. There is an old bomb shelter left over from the war nearby the hill that is
dry enough for you to put the supplies there. I'll ask Joseph to bring you there.” James turned to Joseph, who was
busy digging out survivors with a hoe. “Joe, bring your Aunt Ashlyn to place the supplies in the shelter!”
Joseph quickly wiped the mud and water from his face before sprinting toward Ashlyn.
Why did Dad yell so loudly? Now the whole world knows I have an aunt who is the same age as me.

He had brought along a group of volunteers from Nolan Group, as well as a generous selection of food and
beverage.
Recruiting volunteers from Nolan Group and South Star Airlines was time-consuming as both organizations were
sizable and employed more employees.
That was why Lucas arrived a bit later than Ashlyn.
Ashlyn and the rest were busy moving the medical supplies. It was still raining heavily when she gazed at the dark
sky.
All of a sudden, there was a loud thunderclap, and a brilliant bolt of lightning illuminated the sky.
The ground started shaking again.
The volunteers quickly dropped the boxes they were holding and screamed in terror, running away in search of a
safe place to hide.
No one was prepared to die here.
Ashlyn steadied herself and hollered, “Don't panic! Don't be scared! Protect yourselves. Your safety is far more
important than any supplies.”
Suddenly, a magnetic voice boomed out through the rain, calming everyone's nerves. “That was an aftershock.
Together, we can overcome this! Natural disasters can be intimidating, but it's our lack of courage that we should
be afraid of! Everyone, grab the supplies and place them on the ground neatly.”
The familiar voice caused Ashlyn to whip her head around in shock. She saw a tall figure marching toward her in
the dark.
Lucas? He's here?
Lucas extended his muscular arms and gently took the large package from her.
His deep, dark eyes glimmered in the night like a single star in an otherwise dark sky.
“Honey, leave the hard work to me,” Lucas said. The sight of mud splattered on her face caused his heart to

Ashlyn nodded. “All right.”
They only conversed briefly before getting to work.
Just like two planets in the galaxy, they crossed each other's paths momentarily, but that moment was forever
imprinted on their memories.
Ashlyn hurried over to the temporary medical shed where her colleagues were doing their best to treat the injured
villagers.
The stench of blood permeated the air, accompanied by the woeful cries emanating from the villagers.
“Blood, Dr. Berry. We need more blood. The blood bags we brought aren't enough. The villagers are seriously
injured. Many of them need to be amputated. Their bodies were buried under the debris for too long, and their
bones have been crushed. They can no longer keep their limbs.” An orthopedic surgeon quickly ran to Ashlyn with a
bag of blood that had been handed to him by a nurse. He was so anxious that he was close to tears. “Besides, we
lack the necessary equipment to perform major surgeries.”
Ashlyn furrowed her brows. “I'll contact the hospital from the neighboring city to send over a helicopter. We can
send the severely injured villagers there.”
