Linda felt as if her heart was hit by something.
She had not had this strange sense of urgency since the fight with that man.
She frowned, instinctively wanting to push Seth away. However, he held her hand even tighter.
“Hey…”
“You’re hurt and can’t walk,” he explained flatly. “Stop being stubborn.”
She pursed her lips and saw his clean and slender hand.
That was the hand that held the scalpel. It was beautiful.
Meanwhile, Seth was gentle, handsome, and elegant.
If it was not him who saved her like a savior today, she might still be stuck on the mountain.
As she thought to herself, a subtle sense of pain came from her ankle. She frowned and almost lost her
balance.
“Watch out!” Seth quickly held her waist.

“It looks more swollen now.” Seth removed her sock and checked thoroughly. “Go to my clinic later. I’ll
get the nurse to handle it.”
“Hmm, thanks.” Linda’s voice was soft. She suddenly recalled something and asked, “How did you find
me?”
Seth smirked and took out his phone.
They were close to the mountain foot now, and there was 1.5 bar of signal. She was stunned. At the
top of his feed, she saw her post that was posted before she got up the mountain.
“I saw you went hiking with the geotag in your picture,” Seth said softly. “So I followed you.”
“W-Why did you follow me?”
“It’s dangerous for a girl to be in the wilderness alone.”
Linda was intrigued by what he said.
He smiled at her and squatted down with his back facing her. “Get on!”
“What are you doing?”
“It’s difficult to walk here. I’ll carry you.”
Linda admitted that she was moved for a second.
His back was small, but it felt safe.
However, compared to that man…
She bit her lip and snapped back to her senses.
“It’s okay.” She gently rejected him. “I can walk on my own.”
“Don’t be stubborn!”
“I’m not!” She suddenly raised her voice. It was of a terrible tone, but she dared not look at him.
“Thanks for your kindness, Dr. Stafford. But we’re arriving at the bottom. I can totally walk myself. Don’t
worry.”

“But…”
“I’ll do as you said when I get back.” Linda forced a smile. “Ice it, apply ointment, and go for a check-up
every now and then. Don’t worry. I travel alone. I know that!”
She turned around after she was done. She staggered down the mountain while holding the trekking
stick.
Seth stood there, stunned. His eyes had a complicated expression as he watched her thin and
stubborn back left.
He did not have much experience in love. Not knowing why he could not forget her since they first met.
He had come here intentionally to spend more time with her.
Pursuing a girl should start with unconditional company, right?
However, there seemed to be a huge, invisible gap separating them into two different worlds.
…
On Monday noon, as Cordelia was going to the canteen, she saw Linda walking toward the pantry as
soon as she got out.
She went to her, smelling instant noodles when she arrived at the door.
Cordelia sighed and placed her food in front of her. She said nothing.
Linda was stunned. She opened the box, and it was a delicious pork chop.
