Chapter 256
In the afternoon, Chloe changed into a low-key car and went to the forest park accompanied by Jordan.
Thirteen years ago, she almost lost her life here in search of her mother’s relict which lost on the mountain.
Logically speaking, she should have left a deep psychological shadow.
However, this young lady was unwilling to admit defeat in her bones, especially she is a stubborn girl who was unwilling to lose to herself.
Ever since that incident, she didn’t fear of nature. Instead, she would come here every year to patrol the mountains and forests with Cordell to save the mountain climbers who were in danger.
In the beginning, the other forest rangers still looked down on this young and beautiful girl. They even bet that in just one day, this girl would have to cry for her father and cry for her mother and run away, never to suffer in here again.
Unexpectedly, no matter how hard it was and how harsh the conditions were, Chloe gritted her teeth and endured it. She never had half a word of complaint. Her willpower was so strong that even many men were willing to admit defeat!
From the rearview mirror, Jordan saw a young lady wearing a professional mountain climbing dress without makeup.
After taking off her brocade clothes, she looked like Mulan with a strong and determined temperament.
“Miss, climbing the mountain is dangerous, right? I’ll go with your Jordan suggested with a face full of concern.
“You?”
Chloe, who was resting with her eyes closed, opened one of her eyes, “Do you have any mountain climbing equipment? Have you learned how to climb the mountain and avoid danger? Do you have any mountain climbing skills?”
“… No, but I have learned surfing and diving!” Jordan’s eyes were bright, and he could not wait to show his talents to the young lady.
“Jordan, are you the king of interrupting? I said something and you beat around the bush?” Chloe tsked.
Jordan pursed his lips in embarrassment and muttered, “How would I dare to beat around the bush?”
“What if there really is danger? You just jump directly into the sea? Hmph, it’s not impossible. You look so handsome. It’s possible that some female water ghost took a fancy to you and captured you to be her ghost husband.”
Jordan scratched his head with a silly smile, thinking that the young lady was praising him.
The car drove into the forest park, but it could not move forward halfway.
Looking into the distance, he saw mountains rising and falling, towering peaks, thick, and faint fog spreading between the lofty mountains.
Jordan looked up at the cold peaks and sighed, “It’s so high… so steep…”
“Are you a illiterate? Other than high and steep, there are no other words you can say to describe the mountain?”
Chloe crossed her arms around chest and shook her head helplessly, “Good peaks have countless green rock cliffs. The mountains are big and tall, so it is called lofty, like the mountain momentum of Redcaster, which is hard to describe.”
Jordan nodded frantically. In front of the young lady, he felt like a Masochism from head to toe.
“Raya!”
As he spoke, a warm voice called out.
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned around and saw Cordell, accompanied by Captain Mason, walking towards her.
“Teacher Cordell…”
Chloe saw that the seriously ill Teacher Cordell had lost a large amount of weight, and his cheeks were sunken and haggard. For a moment, she felt very uncomfortable and her eyes quietly reddened.
She hurriedly went up to hug Teacher Cordell, and Teacher Cordell also responded to her as if he treats his daughter.
“How have you been?” Chloe asked softly.
“Good, very good! I ate my fill and slept soundly!” Teacher Cordell was all smiles.
When Captain Mason heard this, he lowered his head sadly.
Chloe took a deep breath and calmed her sad emotions.
She was also a doctor. She was deeply familiar with that kind of illness. It was really torturous day and night. People would hate food, vomiting, and lost all hair. No matter how strong a person was, they would lose their dignity before the illness and gradually lose their human appearance.
Chloe glanced back at Jordan deeply.
Jordan understood and nodded slightly, meaning that he had already found an excellent doctor according to her request.
“Raya, this is…” Teacher Cordell looked at Jordan.
“Oh! He is… my eldest cousin.” Chloe casually lied.
These guards usually only accompanied the mountains and forests. They did not pay much attention to the noise in the secular world, so they did not know that she was the eldest daughter of Thorp family who had recently caused a great stir in Medo.
“Miss Lewis, the genes of your family are really excellent! Even your eldest cousin looks like a talent!” Captain Mason praised sincerely.
Jordan blushed and beamed with joy.
They could not be a couple, but they could be good cousins.
“Raya, the weather has been changing recently. There may be a storm coming at any time.”
Teacher Cordell looked at her worriedly, “I am already very happy to see you come today. You really don’t have to take so much hard work to go up the mountain.”
“It’s not hard. Have you forgotten that I am an excellent park ranger who has been given a thank silk banner? People even give me a nickname – Female Mountain God!” Chloe patted her chest proudly.
“Haha… we have two great gods here at once. How lucky!” Teacher Cordell laughed.
Chloe raised her eyebrows, “Huh? Who else dares to compete with me?”
“It’s Sawle Group’s Mr. Sawle!” Captain Mason couldn’t help but interject from the side.
Chloe, Big Cousin: “Who?”
“Sawle Group’s Mr. Sawle, Joseph! Don’t you surprised?”
Captain Mason’s eyes were bright. He seemed to admire Joseph a lot, “I only knew his true identity two years ago. But looking at his skills and climbing skills, he really doesn’t look like a president who lives a comfortable life!”
“The
year before last, he went up the mountain with Teacher Cordell and saved two climbers besieged by heavy rain. He also used his own helicopter to save them. They called him – male mountain god!”
“One mountain can’t accommodate two tigers, how can it tolerate two gods?”
Chloe pursed her lips. The past was coming towards her like a tide. Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions. She murmured, “I am the mountain god. He is just a mountain ghost.”
“Raya, what did you say?” Teacher Cordell asked.
“Ah? I said that Mr. Sawle is really a good person who helps others and is happy!” Chloe gave a fake smile and gave him a thumbs up.
“Yes, Mr. Sawle is really a very good person. Not only does he take time every year to patrol the forest, but he will also donate to the forest park.”
Teacher Cordell smiled happily, “Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to let you meet Mr. Sawle. After all, you are all people who have made contributions to the mountain, and you are all mountain climbers. You two will definitely have many common topics.”
Chloe was not happy at all, the corner of her mouth twitched,”No, there is no need for that, I have social phobia!”
In the end, Jordan could only be dismissed by the Miss. Chloe followed Teacher Cordell and Captain Mason to the foot of the mountain.
Along the way, Chloe was a little absent-minded.
Her mind was filled with memories that Joseph had saved her from the abyss thirteen years ago.
All these years, he was the same like her and had always returned to this place.
What was strange was that they also came to patrol the mountains every year, saving people every year, and donating money every year, but they had never met each other.
Chloe grabbed the backpack with both hands and walked forward with heavy steps.
She couldn’t help but pull her lower lip bitterly.
Sure enough, she and Joseph were destined to have no fate.
Other than the first encounter here thirteen years ago, all the “fate” in the future was just her laughable and humble wishful
A group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, a few rangers ran over in a hurry.
“Teacher Cordell! We just received a distress call. Three climbers went up the mountain and got separated. Now only two people have successfully returned to the camp. One is still trapped in the mountain! We are going to start a search and
rescue!”
“Okay! I will go with you!” Teacher Cordell did not hesitate.
“Master! I am afraid that the weather will change at any time today, and your body has already…” Captain Mason’s words were full of worry.
“It’s fine. My body and bones are fine. I can hold on!”
“Teacher Cordell, don’t worry, leave it to me and Captain Mason!”
Chloe was worried about Teacher Cordell’s health and urgently recommended herself. “I have been a land doctor. If the climber is in danger, I can immediately give him first aid!”
Hearing that she had also been a land doctor, Captain Mason showed a surprised and admiring expression.
“Then… alright.”
Teacher Cordell was afraid that he would become a burden, so he held Chloe’s hand tightly. “Raya, I’m counting on you!”
Joseph drove into the forest park alone.
