Chapter 64 I Will Carry You Up

Everyone on the brightly-lit Maple Mountain lounge fidgeted in their seat and waited anxiously.

"Sophia! Sophia!" Upon seeing her, Ryan rushed to her frantically. "Have they found Fiona? Where is she?"

"Ryan!" She began to break down as she saw him. "Mr. Cheng went down to save her, but they haven’t come up yet."

Ryan went pale. He was glad that someone had come to rescue Fiona, but part of him felt unhappy. He raised his hand and patted Sophia’s head. In a hoarse voice, he said, "She’ll be fine. Don’t worry, okay?"

"Yes... I hope she will be." Sophia nodded, leaning her head against his shoulder as she cried her eyes out. Ryan sighed. Looking up, he saw Leona standing in the shadows. She looked like she was about to cry, which angered him.

And then suddenly, a loud bang came from above.

Ryan decided to deal with her later and turned his head. For now, ensuring Fiona’s safety was more important.

Several helicopters circled in the sky above the lounge, with the gust blowing against people’s clothes. Hanging from one helicopter was a soft ladder on which a doctor climbed down, a medical kit slung on his back. As he planted his feet on the ground, he waved and all the helicopters left.

"Where’s Fiona?" Sophia ran hurriedly towards the doctor. "Why aren’t she and Mr. Cheng here?"

"They’re still below but will be up shortly. Don’t you worry, both of them are fine," the doctor answered kindly, though Sophia detected a tinge of hesitation.

"Really?"

"Of course!" The doctor then glanced at everyone else. "It’s getting late. Today was exhausting, so I suggest you all go rest!"

With a sigh of relief, Ryan gazed at Sophia worriedly. "You’ve been frantic the whole day. You should go to bed. I’ll wait here."

"No, let’s both wait for her." She shook her head firmly.

"Alright then."

She noticed the fine beads of sweat on his forehead. "You must be very worried, aren’t you?"

"I’m glad she’s fine." He gave her a wry smile. "Just got here a little late. When I finally did, the foot of Maple Mountain was already strictly guarded. I had trouble hiking up. Fortunately, Mr. Cheng came just in time."

Sophia’s heart clenched. She knew how much Ryan cared about Fiona, but she couldn’t bear to tell him that she was already married to Spencer. She resolved to honor Fiona’s request to not tell anyone.

Meanwhile, the couple was still at the valley.

"Let me carry you up." Spencer bent down towards Fiona, patting himself on the shoulder. "Come on!"

"But you hurt your arm." She shook her head. "I can do it myself." As she shifted her weight, pain emanated from the ankle she sprained.

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

about it tomorrow!" He replied in an authoritative tone, then gazed towards Ryan, smiling faintly. "You think she should deal with the wound first too, right?"

Ryan nodded his head. He put his arms behind his back so no one could see him clench his fists. "Go get checked and then rest, Fiona. It can wait until tomorrow."

Spencer turned, still holding Fiona. The doctor followed closely behind.

"Spencer!" She fidgeted, looking annoyed. "I told you to put me down first! I still haven’t talked to Sophia!"

He suddenly winced. "Stop, you’re hurting my arm!"

She froze, looking sheepish. "Put me down first, then."

Spencer groaned. "It won’t hurt anymore if you stop talking."

Ryan and Sophia stood quietly beside each other,

watching the two argue from a distance.

Andrew came over and asked, "It’s late. Are we going downhill or staying here?"

"We’re staying," he replied without hesitation. He hadn’t dealt with Leona yet. There was no way he could leave. Speaking of, he hadn’t seen her since earlier.

"Ryan, what are you still looking for? You should go rest."

"Okay." Ryan came back to his senses, reluctantly following Sophia.

Spencer placed Fiona down on the bed gently. "Please check if she has any injuries other than the one on her foot."

The doctor sat on the edge of the bed and opened the medicine box. "Okay, let me deal with your wound, Mrs. Cheng. Would you kindly take off your clothes so I can check for any additional wounds?"

It seemed the doctor already knew she was his wife.

She blushed hard.

"Take off her clothes?" Spencer said indignantly. "What the hell do you need to do that for? Just pay attention to her foot, then get out!"

"Yes, of course," the doctor stammered as he nodded profusely.
