Don’t walk in the mountains.” Halston was speaking from experience.
He didn’t expect that he would fall for something like this.
“How did you learn about this?” Flossie demanded.
Halston was just a president who always stayed in his office, so how could he know more than her about the wilderness? “T once lost my way for nearly a month in the mountains, and I barely escaped death.” Halston smiled bitterly as he spoke.
“You lost your way for nearly a month in the mountains?” Flossie seemed to have found another piece of the puzzle.
“Was it when…
you went looking for herbs for me?” He had left for more thana month risking his life to search for herbs for her.
Now, Flossie wondered if Halston had really betrayed her during that time.
Maybe he hadn’t been cozying up to Jessanna-maybe he had been trapped in e the mountains alone.
I’m feeling a little dizzy.
Maybe I got poisoned.” Halston realized he had slipped up and m quickly changed the topic The
“Just leave me be, and see if Adie’s around here.
This is the only path I haven’t checked.” Flossie frowned as she supported Halston’s body.
“How can I leave you alone if you’re poisoned?
“I’m not important!” Halston protested hoarsely.
“Go look for Adie first.
T can still hold on.” “You look like you’re about to pass out.
How can you hold on?” Flossie ignored Halston and insisted on helping him downhill.
“Let’s go back to the campsite.
I’ve got to get you off the island and into a hospital.” If Halston really had been bitten by a narserial, it was very serious.
Flossie had read about an animal like that in ancient books like Legends of the Mountains and Seas.
Although its existence was still questioned, it was indeed poisonous.
If one was bitten by it, they had to be treated immediately or it could be fatal.
Adie’s safety was important, but Halston’s condition was more urgent.
After some deliberation, Flossie decided to send Halston to the hospital first.
“T…
I’m fine!” Halston pushed Flossie away, urging her to look for Adie.
“I’ve searched the entire mountain except this path, so he has to be here.
If you don’t look for him now, he might go missing again when you want to come back for him later.” “Don’t worry, I know Adie well.
Right now, I think you need help more than him.” Flossie rolled her eyes.
It was getting harder to support him, so Flossie quickly carried him on her back “Cut the crap, or I’ll throw you down the hill.” “How dare you…” .” “Shut up! I’m not messing around.” Flossie snapped at him. “I’ll do it if you keep this up!” Unable to fight back, Halston just kept quiet and obeyed her.
Flossie carried Halston on her back and walked downhill.
She struggled from his weight, and her legs wobbled with each step.
“I think you’ve put on a few pounds-you ‘re practically crushing me! ” Flossie gritted her teeth as she grumbled.
Halston just remained quiet on Flossie’s back as if he had accepted his fate.
Taking a deep breath, Flossie added, “You don’t have to thank me since you saved my life before.
If you didn’t risk your life to find those herbs, I would be dead by now.
So, I can still carry you.” There was still no reply, and she heard Halston’s breathing grow laboured.
She pinched Halston’s leg and whispered, “Why aren’t you saying anything i promise I won’t scold you.” “What…
should I say?” Halston asked weakly.
“why don’t we pick up where we left off? Tell me what happened when’ Ne you went looking for herbs for me.
Why did you suddenly leave US…””
After a pause renee swallowed trying to keep the pain out of her voice. “I don’t think you distanced yourself because of a change of heart.
Something must have happened.” “T went missing to save myself back then.
I hid in the mountains but lost my way there…”Finally stefan. confessed i left you not because I lost myself…
but because I’ve finally seen things through.
i
“What did you see through?” Flossie asked eagerly.
This was the first time Halston was speaking about this since he disappeared, so she was desperate to find out the truth.
“TL.” Halston muttered faintly, his head slipping down to Flossie’s shoulder.
“What is it? Tell me!” Flossie demanded impatiently, but she got no response from Halston.
In fact, she could feel his full weight now.
He had probably been trying not to lean on her completely earlier, but now, he was too weak to support himself.
Flossie struggled a little under his weight, panting as she carried him.
“Hold on-we’ll talk once I catch my breath.” Flossie couldn’t carry him any longer.
She found a boulder and tried to lean Halston against it, but his body slid down and dropped to the ground the moment she let go of him.
“Halston! Halston!” Flossie panicked and squatted down to shake him, and only then did she realize that he had fainted.
His face was deathly pale, and his lips had turned a horrible blue-black colour.
