The words, "thank you", were all taken back by her when she saw his calm and tired face. He didn't want her to say it again on purpose, nor did he do it for anything else. He just fell asleep because he was too tired. Samuel glanced through the rearview mirror and gave a light cough, "Young Madam, let President sleep. He's really tired these two days." Thinking of the way to Liang estate, Samuel said that he had only slept for two hours in the past two days. Elizabeth nodded, but she still looked at James's face. Perhaps it was because of the sleeping posture that made him feel uncomfortable. His eyebrows were still slightly furrowed. He must be too tired. He suddenly fell asleep on the seat. Although his sleeping posture was not very comfortable, in such a short time, he even snored softly. Elizabeth didn't think that it would reduce his perfect image. On the contrary, she felt that he made her feel more real and distressed. Looking at t
"Well..." Samuel scratched his head. While waiting for the traffic light, he turned around to look at James who was sleeping, and then said with embarrassment. "I think we'd better go to the back mountain." "Not today. Please just send us home." "Young Madam... Well, I'm not trying to go against you. But Mr. Lu just asked me to drive you there. If we go back to the South Lake..." President would definitely be angry with him. "He's so tired. I want him to go home and have a rest early. We can go to the back mountain another day." "That's also what I want. But you also know his temper. If he didn't want to go, he would have gone home long ago. How could he ask to send you to the back mountain by himself?" Elizabeth looked at his hand and knew that Samuel was right. If he really didn't want to go, how could he go with her in exhaustion? But even so, she still said, "Just do as I said." After that, she thought for a moment and added, "If he's really angr
"Yes." The man nodded. Then he put down the firewood on his back, and even took a step forward. Seeing this, Elizabeth's heart jolted. She immediately stepped back. While backing away, she said in a panic, "Don't... Don't come over!" She really shouldn't have done this today! If she didn't come here or came with Samuel, she wouldn't be as flustered and helpless as she was now. She thought so in her heart, but she did not give up. While she was stepping back, she suppressed the fear in her heart and looked at her side quietly to see if there was anything that could be used for self-defense. However, aside from the lush weeds, there was nothing else that could be used for defense. Looking at the tall man in front of her, Elizabeth knew very well that even if she wanted to escape, she couldn't run away at all. She wanted to call for help too, but she didn't dare call directly in front of the man. If she put the phone behind her back, she couldn't make a
From the cabin to the top of the mountain, the dense weeds were shoveled by Abram. So there was a relatively wide path here. With the gratitude and touching for James and the excitement to see her parents soon, Elizabeth walked quickly to the top of the mountain accompanied by Abram. As they approached, Abram stopped following her and said, "Young Madam, I'll wait for you here." "Okay," Elizabeth replied with a smile because of his carefulness. She suddenly thought of coming over today, so she didn't buy anything. She stood in front of her parents' graves with nothing in her hand. For a moment, her eyes were filled with tears. But even so, she still smiled. After looking at the two photos in front of her for a long time, she said softly— "Dad, mom! I'm here today... I want to tell you that I got back everything you left. Are you happy?" "I'm sorry! I was so stupid and naive before. I must have worried you a lot before, right? I've let you
James was awakened by the sound of Samuel answering the phone. He moved his stiff neck and looked at the source of the voice in a daze. After listening for a moment, he probably knew that Samuel was talking about work. He habitually raised his wrist to check the time. It was 7:10 p.m. Had he slept for such a long time? He looked at the scenery outside the window. After a while, he realized where he was. He looked back at the place next to him and found no one was there. "Where is she?" Samuel, who was answering the phone, turned around and asked, "President, are you awake?" James did not answer, and ignored that he was on the phone. He asked again, "I ask you, where is she?" Samuel said to the phone, "Sorry, I'll call you later." Then he hung up the phone. "Young Madam went up the mountain." Hearing this, James frowned, and felt some displeasure. "Why didn't you wake me up just now?" He had gone to that place once
Hearing that, Elizabeth couldn't help but pause. She widened her tearful eyes and listened quietly. She was afraid that she would miss any chance to be saved. After listening for a while, there was no sound around except for the barking of dogs and the chirping of insects. The little joy that had risen before gradually turned into disappointment. It turned out that she had an illusion because she was too anxious to be found by James or someone else. Suddenly, the wind blew, rustling the leaves. Listening to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, Elizabeth felt as if it was the sound of a snake moving through the grass. She was both lost and scared, so the slightest sound made her feel very nervous. Her throat tightened and her heart beat faster. Although she was afraid, her mind was clear. She knew that it was not a good idea to keep waiting like this. She couldn't make a sound now. If James and the others were looking for her, it would be hard to fi
"James, what's going on?" Elizabeth was stunned and could not help but ask him worriedly. Hearing this, James said in a low voice in a hurry, "Don't say anything yet!" As soon as he finished speaking, Elizabeth heard a rustling sound behind James. Through the light from the phone, she looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black snake rapidly hiding into the weeds. Elizabeth instantly opened her eyes wide in horror and felt that her whole body was numb because of seeing it. Out of instinct, when she saw what she was most afraid of, she couldn't help but want to scream. But she didn't dare. She was afraid that her voice would disturb it. The moment before she was about to scream, she quickly reached out her hand that was not caught by him and covered her mouth. In the blink of an eye, the snake disappeared completely. The rustling sound she had just heard was gone in seconds. When everything calmed down again, Elizabeth put down her trem
Elizabeth didn't say anything, just stared at him for a while. Then she suddenly knelt down in front of him, and put his legs on her legs. After that, she uncovered his trousers from the wound on his right leg. When she saw the small and dark wound on his leg, her heart ached badly. James widened his eyes. "... What..are you..." Before he could finish his words, Elizabeth suddenly lowered her head. She began to suck the poisonous blood directly outward from the wound on his calf. "......" When James found her lips on his legs, although he couldn't feel anything now, her actions still stunned him. After a long time, he realized what she was doing and tried to raise his voice. "What are you doing?" "..." She did not answer. She spat out the blood to the ground, and then repeated it. She had just fallen and felt a little more awake. She realized a problem that she had never thought of just now. She was not familiar with the road. S
