Chapter Capítulo 124
Read The Ex-Husband's Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 124 - "How are you feeling now, Iris? Does it hurt?" Leon asked worriedly. Iris moved her ankle and genuinely felt surprised! "It doesn't as much as earlier!"
"I'm glad to hear that."
"The joint has been realigned and you'll be fully recovered with a few days' rest," Leon said.
"A few days?! So, you're saying that my foot hasn't been cured completely yet?" Iris looked surprised as she put her shoes on.
"It's cured, but you shouldn't put too much pressure on it for the time being. It'll be best if you could avoid making any movements that would injure it a second time. I recommend not walking for at least twenty- four hours..." Leon explained simply.
"What?! Then how do I get down from this mountain?" Iris was taken aback. Staying on the mountain for twenty-four hours was very unrealistic and completely out of the question!
"Easy. I'll carry you down from the mountain." Leon let out a soft but audible sigh, but deep down, he was delighted and he even secretly thanked God for giving him such a good opportunity. "But..." Iris's pretty face turned red.
She has always kept herself pure and chaste, shunning any sort of intimate contact with the opposite gender. As a result, she found it a little difficult to accept that Leon would have to carry her down the mountain!
"Alright, let's go!" Before Iris could say anything, Leon mustered up his courage and stepped forward decisively to carry Iris on his back.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Iris exclaimed. Her pretty face turned red with shame, and Leon's domineering initiative had all but eaten away at what little hope of struggling she had.
Since things already reached such a point, she had no choice but to accept having to interact so closely with Leon.
"Fine! You got lucky this time..." Iris's face and ears turned red. She reached out to pinch the soft flesh around Leon's waist in a light-hearted protest to vent her shyness and dissatisfaction. Leon inhaled sharply, but his heart was filled with joy and the pain was overcome
with happiness.
After that, Leon carried Iris back to the stone steps and walked to the top of the mountain. If Leon could just freeze that moment in time, he would feel so much happier than if he were granted the chance to be God for a day.
"Didn't you say you were going to carry me down the mountain, Leon? Why are you going up instead?" Iris asked curiously.
"It's still early, so we might as well go to the top of the mountain to see the scenery. We can still make it in time to see it before descending," Leon replied with a smile. He knew that Iris wanted to see the scenery where mist and clouds became one on the mountain peak, so he naturally could not let her go back disappointed.
"Okay," Iris relented within seconds after a brief hesitation.
Since Leon carried her on his back all the time, there was no difference whether she descended the mountain earlier or later.
The distance to reach the peak from the end of the stone steps was about a quarter of the mountain's height.
The terrain further up was steeper, and the rough path was so difficult to hike that no stone steps could be set up there.
In addition,o tourists that it was forbidden to climb up without the escort of professional mountaineers and guides.
"That explains why there aren't any other tourists on this path! The mountain peak will only be open to the public at the end of the year!" Upon seeing the warning sign, Leon and Iris sudden there was a striking blue warning sign that was erected there as a final. reminder tly realized that they were very ill-informed.
"Forget it, Leon. The mountain isn't open to the public, so I think we should turn back,
Iris said a bit disappointedly.
"But..." Leon was hesitant too because he knew how dangerous it would be without any stairs with which he could go up.
