Chapter 1524 Sharing His Burden

Luca could feel dull pain spread from her waist to the rest of her body. She had injured herself.

The pain caused tears to fall from the corner of her eyes.

Suddenly, Luke felt a twinge of pity for her. "Can you stand up?" He asked.

Luca nodded. "Yes."

Luke looked at the tree behind Luca. The vegetation was quite dense at this part of the mountain, and the trees were quite old with thick trunks. She had slammed into the tree in full force, and it must be very painful. If she were unfortunate, she might even suffer a hairline fracture.

However, she was lucky to be stopped by the tree. Otherwise, who knew where she might end up?

The forest was natural. Even though the owners of the area had taken every precaution to ensure the visitors' safety, there was only so much they could do to alter the natural landscape.

If the tree had not broken Luca's fall, she would have suffered a greater injury, or worse, rolled off a cliff.

Seeing that Luca was struggling to get up, Luke reached out. "You need help."

Luca pressed her lips together and grabbed his hand. With the trekking pole in her other hand, she pushed herself into a sitting position, then spent the next half a minute trying to catch her breath.

Luke did not rush her. He waited patiently for her to catch her breath. In the meantime, the sky became darker, and thunder could be heard in the distance.

It was going to rain soon.

Luca looked up at the sky, thinking they should not linger there.

Not only would the path be slippery, but it would also be dangerous to be under a tree if the rain turned out to be a lightning storm...

She gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, but the pain on her waist caused her to fall forward and land on Luke's chest.
