Chapter 256

In the afternoon, Evadne ditched her limousine for a more inconspicuous sedan, accompanied by Jason to the Forest Park.

Thirteen years ago, she almost lost her life here searching for her late mother’s belongings lost in the mountain.

By any means, she should have been traumatized.

But the young lady was a feisty one, especially when it came to not admitting defeat–even to herself.

After that incident, she didn’t develop a fear of nature, but instead, she would make time to come here every year, together with Professor Leo, patrolling and taking care of the forest, rescuing mountain climbers in trouble.

At first, the other rangers looked down on this young beautiful lady, even betting that she’d run off crying and never come back after just one day.

Surprisingly, no matter how challenging or how harsh the condition was, Evadne embraced it all without a single complaint. Her determination even outran many men!

Jason watched from the rearview mirror at the lady, dressed in professional mountaineering gear and devoid of any makeup.

Stripped of her luxurious dresses, she seemed like a warrior, a firm and determined aura surrounding her.

“Miss Evadne, mountain climbing is dangerous, right? I should accompany you,” Jason suggested, worry evident in his eyes.

“You?” Evadne, who had been resting her eyes, opened one to look at him, “Do you have mountaineering gear? Do you know any climbing safety measures? Do you know climbing skills?”

“I don’t, but I’ve surfed waves, dived underwater!” Jason said eagerly, eager to show off his abilities.

Evadne clicked her tongue, “Are you trying to change the topic?”

Jason blushed, mumbling, “I would never dare to contradict you.”

“What if there’s a real danger? Will you jump into the sea? Hmm, it’s not a bad idea. You’re handsome. Maybe some mermaid would take a liking to you and take you as her husband.”

Jason scratched his head, laughing idiotically, taking her words as a compliment.

The car entered Forest Park but could only go halfway.

Looking into the distance, mountains were rolling with high, Imposing peaks. Mist of different hues filled the mountain range.

Jason looked up at the steep mountain, sighing, “So high, so steep.

“Are you illiterate? Can’t you describe a mountain other than being high and steep?”

Evadne crossed her arms, shaking her head helplessly, “There are countless good peaks. The mountain is big and tall. For a mountain like Misty Mountain, no description fits better than rugged.”

Jason nodded vigorously. In front of Evadne, he was always on his toes.

“Ilana!”

As they spoke, a warm call came.

Evadne’s heart stirred. She quickly turned around to see Professor Leo walking towards her with Captain Sean.

“Professor Leo.”

Seeing the illness–ravaged Professor Leo who had lost a lot of weight, his hollowed cheeks revealing his frailty, she felt a pang in her heart, her eyes welling up with tears.
