She would never put herself in such a dire situation again.
In the highland, the difference between the morning and evening temperatures was extremely great. The cold
winds blew with such force that Lumina shivered from the cold.
Adam immediately took off his coat and wanted to give it to her, but Lumma refused, “Mr. Hills, I’m wearing a thick
down jacket. If you give me your coat, you will have nothing to block the cold. and get frostbite.”
Adam was a sober person. He knew that no matter how strong he was, he could not resist the cold. with a broken
white shirt. She had just risked her life to save him, so her injury would be in vain if he was injured due to
hypothermia.
He could not give her his coat. He wanted to support her or hold her hands, but she refused decisively. She insisted
on walking by herself, so strong and independent that made him annoyed.
For more than half an hour they kept at a safe distance, neither too far nor too near, along the rough mountain
path. They never walked a step nearer. Just as they reached the asphalt road, they finally saw several cars with
lights on speeding toward them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was Leonard who came back with doctors.
The doctors got out of the car and immediately surrounded Adam, “Mr. Hills, please get in the car right away, and
we will give you a full body check.”
”
Adam glanced at these doctors coldly. Were they all idiots? Couldn’t they notice who was injured? “The injured is
Lumma. Give her a full body check immediately, and no omission is allowed.”
Adam paid great attention to Lumma’s injury, so the doctors didn’t dare to be careless. They immediately helped
Lumma get into the car and drove them back to the hotel infirmary.
Lumma knew that only her left arm was injured, but Adam didn’t believe it, so the doctor didn’t believe it, either.
They took care of the wound in her arm and gave her a full body check to confirm that there were no other injuries
before letting her go.
The full-body check took a lot of time. Lumma thought that Adam had already left, but she didn’t expect him to
remain here after she came out of the examination room.
He held a cigarette in his hand but immediately put it out when he watched her come out. “If you have any
discomfort, don’t bear it.”
Lumma said, “Mr. Hills, thank you for your concern, but I am not seriously injured.”
Adam said, “Go back to your room to rest, and I’ll have dinner delivered to your room.”
Lumma didn’t want to trouble the other staff because of her minor injury. “Mr. Hills, don’t bother.
I’m fine.”
She insisted on going to the restaurant, so Adam didn’t say much anymore.
As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Adam received another call that made him feel bad.
Lumma seldom listened to him swearing. No matter how angry he was, he could always control himself very well.
But, he was cursing now, “Hills Group never raises trash!”
It was Toby who called. He didn’t see Lumma last night. Toby was worried all night and delayed telling Adam about it
until this afternoon.
As expected, he was fired.
With his ability and work experience in the Hills Group, Toby should have attracted many companies rushing to hire
him as soon as he went out to find a job and filled out his resume.
However, Toby was dismissed by Adam himself. No company would dare to employ Toby in the industry in the
future.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAdam got angry not only because Toby didn’t do what he told him well, but also because Adam was inexplicably
irritated.
Lumma and Leonard were also terrified by him. They didn’t dare to breathe heavily, and they even chose to sit far
away from him for dinner.
Leonard whispered, “Lumma, what’s wrong with Mr. Hills?”
Leonard spoke too lightly that Lumma couldn’t hear him clearly, so she moved closer to him, “Leonard, pardon?”
Leonard wanted to repeat, but Adam’s gloomy voice suddenly came, “Leonard, send today’s inspection records to
my office.”
Leonard immediately put down the fork and knife, “Yes.”
Lumma also got up and wanted to go with Leonard.
Then, she heard Adam’s voice again, “Can’t he do this well by himself? Does he need accompany him?”

Adam asked, “So, why do you want to leave with him?”
Lumma kept silent.
Could she say that she was frightened by him and just wanted to escape to a place far away from him?
Adam blurted out without thinking, “When you are with me, you always remember that you are a men, do married
woman and keep a distance from me. You don’t need to keep a distance from other you?”
