Chapter 49

“What are you doing, Alexander? Let go of me.” Elise struggled in embarrassment. If it weren’t for the darkness, everyone could see her cheeks that had become as red as tomatoes.

Alexander frowned and asked, “Didn’t you say your leg hurts?”

Elise replied, “But I can walk.”

“It’s not a problem for me. The road is slippery in the dark, so I don’t want you to fall again. It’s not a long way, anyway.”

Since Alexander said so, Elise had to swallow her words and obediently stayed in his arms. She let him carry her over to a boulder, where he squatted down to check her injuries. “Luckily, they are just some superficial injuries. You’ll be fine after putting on a little medicine back home.”

“Oh, thank you, Alexander.”

Alexander got up and instructed the subordinates behind him, saying, “Contact Danny and tell him to rendezvous at the foot of the mountain.”

“Yes, Young Master Griffith.”

Then Alexander looked at Elise and said, “I’ll carry you down.”

He was not asking Elise’s opinion but rather only informing her, but Elise hastily refused. “No need for that. I can walk by myself.”

However, Alexander did not give her a chance to refuse. Instead, he squatted down in front of her.

Elise hesitated for a moment before climbing on Alexander’s back. Then, Alexander carried her down the mountain. It was the first time she was carried by a man like this, so a strange feeling surfaced in her heart, as if she was a deer caught in the headlights.
