Chapter 96 Danger on the Mountain

Chapter 96 Danger on the Mountain

Mia also hoped that she was overthinking things.

However, her ability to remember everything she saw was something she had developed since high

school.

And she was not face-blind.

Although the nurse was wearing a big mask, her gaze would not change.

Mia became more and more suspicious and whispered to remind Stella, "In any case, be cautious. We

still don't know if she is really Miss Martinez!"

Stella widened her eyes in surprise.

"What I mean is... you can't let your guard down!"

"But, Mia." After a while, Stella said in a daze, "If she is really pretending to be Miss Martinez, what is

her motive for getting close to me? What's more, the charity banquet last time was specifically

organized for her, and her identity was personally confirmed by Amelia!"

"Even if she fooled me, could she fool the Taylor family and everyone else?"

"Your sister is an idiot. Do you really trust her?" Mia laughed. "She always makes mistakes, like

mistaking the CEO of that shell company!"

Stella bit her lip and remained silent.

"Stella, I really have your best interests at heart!" Mia spoke her mind readily, "Alas, you're great in

every way, except that you're too sincere and single-minded towards people! Although Audrey saved

you, it doesn't mean you have to owe her and be completely devoted to her!"

"Just like you and Liam..." She paused. "Although he is your husband, you should still have some

reservations and not give your whole heart away! People can have hidden intentions! What if

something unexpected happens to your marriage and you end up in a terrible situation? How will you

live then?"

"Mia, what are you talking about?"

Stella suddenly looked up.

Her piercing gaze made Mia blush.

Mia might be straightforward, but what she said was too harsh... Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mia." Stella furrowed her brows. "I know you have my best interests at heart, but weren't we just

talking about Audrey? Why are we bringing Liam into this?"

"Your bias against him will never go away, will it?"

"Stella, I..."

"You're my most important friend, but why do you have to judge my marriage like this and meddle in the

affairs of the person I like?"

Stella's breathing became slightly rapid. She was somewhat mad and disappointed.

Even if the relationship between friends was close, boundaries should not be crossed.

Mia took two steps back, her face not looking good.

But she didn't have the courage to apologize.

Stella glanced at her, bypassed her, and went straight back to the office. Mia wanted to stop her,

opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single syllable.

......

The next day was a weekend, and Mia went up the mountain alone.

She remembered the college days when Stella would accompany her to climb the mountains every

weekend. They almost went to every mountain in Eldoria.

But now, she was all alone.

Mia was regretful. That day, she was too impulsive. Wasn't she cursing Stella with those words?

But she still couldn't let go of her pride to apologize to Stella.

Whether in school or later in the workplace, she was always the dominant one. How could she easily

bow down to others?

Anyway, Stella already had Miss Martinez now and would no longer be good friends with her.

The more Mia thought about it, the more depressed she became. Her footsteps unconsciously

quickened as she pushed herself up the mountain with her trekking pole. However, halfway up the

mountain, she stumbled and instantly lost her balance, falling into the dense forest, hitting her head,

and feeling dizzy.

Then a sharp pain came from her ankle.

Mia struggled to touch her leg, but every movement was excruciatingly painful. She looked up at the

sky and realized it was already afternoon, and the mountain was starting to fog up. Due to her previous

experience in climbing mountains, she was overly confident and took a path that no one had walked

before.

Now she was going to be trapped on the mountain!

She quickly took out her phone from her backpack.

There was no signal.

She tried to move a few more times.

But even if she held onto a nearby tree, it was difficult for her to stand up!

Mia suddenly panicked. She couldn't see anyone on the mountain, but as the sky slowly darkened, she

could faintly hear the sounds of wild animals...

Her blood froze, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face as she repeatedly turned her phone

on and off, desperately searching for a signal. But even the only life-saving battery on her phone was

quickly running out.

She crawled on the ground forward with her injured leg, trying not to make any noise to avoid attracting

wild animals.

But she couldn't even distinguish the direction, let alone rely on her own strength to get out of this

forest.

Mia couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Just then, she faintly heard a series of hurried footsteps!

Mia held her breath, her body covered in goosebumps.

The footsteps got closer and closer until they stopped in front of her. She was startled and then a hand

reached out.

The fingers were slender, with distinct joints, and the skin was very fair. It was a very attractive hand.

Mia was stunned for a moment and then looked up into a pair of gentle eyes.

"You?" She exclaimed in surprise, "Dr. Johnson?"

"What's wrong? Surprised?" Aiden smirked, squatting down beside her and trying to lift her injured right

foot.

"Ah!" Mia exclaimed softly, "Dr. Johnson, it hurts... It hurts so much!"

"Just relax." Aiden touched it a couple of times and knew what to do. "It should be a dislocated joint,

not a bone injury. Don't worry. I'll put it back in place for you, and you'll feel better soon!"

"What? You..."

Before Mia could object, Aiden quickly acted, grabbing her ankle joint and pulling and shrinking it!

She felt as if her ankle was on fire!

Mia bit her lip tightly, her face pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans formed on her forehead and

nose. Aiden held her foot and turned it a few times, and she could only endure the pain.

Her silent appearance aroused Aiden's curiosity.

"You're really brave." Aiden laughed and said, "In the past, when I treated patients and encountered

young girls, the entire emergency room would be filled with their screams."

Mia's lips were purple from biting. She slowly relaxed them and adjusted her rapid breathing before she

could barely speak.

"It's getting dark now, and there are many wild animals here. If I call out, the wolves will come!"

Aiden looked at her and smiled.

She tried moving her foot, and it still hurt, but it was much better than before. Aiden helped her stand

up, and she leaned on her trekking pole while holding onto his arm, limping her way down the

mountain.

"The conditions here are limited, so I can only provide emergency treatment." Aiden said, "Your ankle is

swollen and red. You need to apply ice when you get back. Remember not to engage in strenuous

exercise for the next few days to prevent the joint from dislocating again."

"Okay."

Aiden considerately helped her push away the branches, almost enclosing her in his embrace.

He still had a faint smell of disinfectant on him, which was unique to doctors. Mia secretly smiled. She

used to be most afraid of this smell when she was a child, but she never expected...

"Why are you smiling?"

Mia was taken aback and looked up at his handsome face. His eyes seemed to be filled with gentle

starlight.
