Tessa did not have the habit of memorizing people's phone numbers. After all, her friends' and family's numbers were saved in her contacts.
Whenever she needed to reach someone, she would just scroll through her contacts and make the call.
She never expected to find herself stuck in such a situation.
Her phone was broken, and Wynn's phone was dead. Since she could not remember anyone's number, she would not be able to make any calls even if she borrowed Melody's phone.
Melody felt extremely guilty. "I wouldn't have called you here if I knew there'd be a flood. Mike and I should have traveled to Rivertown instead."
"Don't say that. If you and Mike had traveled to Rivertown, who would have looked after your son?" Tessa replied.
Melody's son was only two years old and needed constant care. Mike's parents were no longer around, and Melody's mom could not help Melody either as she was frail and chronically ill.
It was precisely because of her son that Melody had asked Tessa to come to their town instead.
Tessa said, "Don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault. It's not like you could've predicted that a natural disaster. The rescue team should also be here soon.
"I only lost contact with the outside world for one day, and I already called my dad to let him know that I'm safe."
The weather had been bright and sunny on the day Tessa had arrived. The weather forecasts had also predicted sunny skies for the next three days.
Unfortunately, the storm had begun to pour on the day Tessa had planned to leave, and no one would have expected the storm to cause a flood.
Since they did not have electricity to light up the house, Melody began cooking dinner at 5:00 pm.
The storm had stopped, and the water in the house had receded a little.
Last night, the flood had risen to mid-calf, but now, it only reached slightly above one's ankles.
"I'm really sorry. I only have two pairs of women's boots at home, and I don't have any other extras," Melody said apologetically as she glanced at Wynn.
Wynn waded through the muddy water barefoot and said nonchalantly, "It's alright."
Afraid that Wynn would catch a cold, Tessa said, "Wynn, why don't you go up and rest. I'll bring the food up for you once it's ready. You shouldn't keep wading through the water. You might end up catching a cold."

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
