Chapter 60 A Walk Down The Memory Lane (Part Two)

The bus from D University arrived at the foot of Maple Mountain at noon. It had taken only an hour and a half to get there as not many people traveled in the afternoon.

"Everyone, please alight the bus in order. Buses are not permitted in the mountain's scenic area, so we have to hike around 500 meters on foot to reach the top. Everyone, follow me!" the teacher instructed.

"Damn! We've to hike the mountain on foot? Aren't there any cable cars?" Sophia asked, irritated.

Fiona got off the bus after her and blocked the sunlight with her palm. She took a look at Maple Mountain and smiled. "The mountain is at least a thousand meters away. I think the cable cars would start from the scenic area to the top of the mountain. You don't want to be lazy now, Sophia!"

"Yeah! I guess we've got to get hiking now!" Ella walked over. "Do you guys want some sunscreen?"

"It's fall season, sis. Do you still wear sunscreen?" Sophia asked skeptically.

"Why? What's wrong with sunscreen?" Ella raised her head proudly. "Women need to take care of their skin all year round! Hurry! We need to keep up with the team."

The three of them smiled at each other and started hiking.

Leona watched them from a distance. Seeing the three of them laughing and hiking together made her feel upset. As she started to hike, she felt a wave of nausea come over her.

She immediately ran to the side of the road and vomited, holding her chest.

"Are you okay, Leona?" a kind classmate came up to her and asked.

"I'm fine." Leona shook her head. The moment she straightened up again, however, she fe

her pocket rang.

She took this opportunity to turn away from Leona and answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Fiona! I finally managed to reach you." Ryan's enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ah... Ryan!" A shiver ran down Fiona's spine. She had never thought that she would receive a phone call from Ryan when Leona was around. She rushed to the other side of the stone steps to talk on the phone discreetly.

Looking at Fiona slipping away quietly, Leona decided to catch up with her.

"Can you hear me, Fiona? There seems to be a signal problem. I can't hear you!" Ryan said on the other line.

"Hello? Is there anything I can do for you, Ryan?" Fiona asked.

"I have something important to tell you and I don't want to wait till you come back." Ryan's voice sounded anxious as he spoke. "Can you go somewhere quieter?"

"Okay," Fiona replied, feeling perplexed. She looked around and saw a path going up on the right side of the stone steps. She walked over to it with some difficulty and said, "Ryan, tell me what you want to say."
