Since it was the New Year, a lot of young people had come back home. The streets were lit up with decorations, and the area didn’t look too bad.

When the group reached the county town and stepped off the bus, they spotted the local market and looked relieved.
“I looked it up before we came. People said Gonshyre was behind the times. But honestly, it doesn’t seem so bad.”
“It’s already 2024, Even if it’s outdated, how bad can it truly be?”
One of the regular guests on the show laughed and said “The houses here look sturdy. As long as we’re not stuck in a place with a leaky roof, I’m fine.”
The others laughed along with him.
Paxton gave the group a meaningful look and said, “We’re not there yet. There’s still a 20–minute ride ahead. Grab your bags–we’re moving on.”
Everyone’s smiles instantly froze.
“Wait, we’re not there yet?”
“Another 20 minutes? Why didn’t the bus just take us all the way?”
“Well, clearly, the bus can’t go wherever we’re going.”
“This isn’t a good sign…”
“Enough with the bad vibes. Just help carry the luggage. Whose suitcase is this? It’s so heavy!”
Leah’s face turned a little red as she stepped forward. “That’s mine,” she said, looking embarrassed.
She grabbed the suitcase quickly, but the road was rough with stones, and her high–end suitcase couldn’t roll smoothly.
She tried to drag it, but struggled. Looking around for Help, her eyes landed on Zayn.
But Zayn was staring in Robin’s direction and didn’t budge.
Leah’s expression cooled. Still trying to stay calm, she asked, “Zayn, can you give me a hand-”
Before she could finish, Zayn had already started walking toward Robin.
gaze.
Leah froze. She looked around at the other male guests but none of them met her
Charmaine’s suitcase was almost as tall as she was, packed with medical gear and clothes.
Just as she was about to lift it, someone behind her took it down from the bus with ease.
Charmaine turned to see it was Zayn. She then took over the suitcase indifferently. “Thank you.”

“Oh? Is something going on between those two?”
“I didn’t expect to see love sparks flying in such a serious show!”
“Seriously, why are fans so into romance? How can you guys ship this?”
“Right? Dr. Robin doesn’t seem interested in Zayn at all. Stop making stuff up.”
“Isn’t this a medical mission? Why does it feel like he’s here to flirt? No wonder the Nelsons fell behind the other top families!”
“Haha, Leah looks exhausted dragging that suitcase! Are they even siblings?”
“You just exposed it–they’re not!”
“Brutal!”
“Kind of feel bad for Leah. Didn’t they say she was the most loved of the Nelsons? Doesn’t seem like it
now.”
“Yeah, and the others are keeping their distance from her, too.”
“After that news a few days ago, people probably think Leah brings bad luck. I’m starting to feel bad for her. She seems down.”
Once everyone finished unloading, the staff brought over five donkey carts.
The moment they saw them, most people’s faces dropped. Robin’s reaction was unreadable, but the rest looked miserable.
It seemed that the place they were heading to could only be reached this way.
The next couple of days were probably going to be rough.
With the carts bumping along the uneven roads, it took them 30 minutes to finally arrive at Pearblossom Vale.
The sight of the crooked, run–down mud houses made everyone uneasy.
The variety show celebrity, who had been cheerful earlier, now covered his face. “I truly jinxed it”
The crew split the group, assigning one mud house for the guys and another for the girls to clean up.
Leah tried to stay composed. She dragged her suitcase inside with difficulty.
Her hands were rubbed red and had blood marks, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Without speaking to anyone, she slipped into the biggest room, shut the door, and turned off her mic.
She pulled out her phone and made a call.
