Ian Donovan clearly hadn't expected Vivian Sterling to be sobbing like this.
He was instantly on edge. "What's wrong?"
Vivian Sterling said between sobs, "We're trapped on Mount Feron. Leon fainted from exhaustion, and now it's raining. I really don't know what to do. You have to come save us."
'The sky outside was pitch-black, and the rain was only getting heavier. What good would it do for him to go out in this weather?'
Ian felt no particular urge to go, but he was still worried about their safety.
"Don't panic. I'll call the police. Just hang in there."
"No!" Vivian Sterling shouted. "Don't call the police! Don't call an ambulance! We'll be saved as long as you come. If you call the police, the Grant family will definitely blame me for Leon's injury. I don't want this becoming public knowledge! If you call the police, you'll ruin my life! I'm begging you, Ian! I don't want to die."
