Linda tried to snap her ankle back into position, but a sharp pain instantly shot up her leg as soon as she tried to move her ankle. She raised her head and looked into the sky. It was already afternoon, and the fog had started to rise in the mountain. Due to her experience in hiking, she had chosen a track that no one had ever taken before.
It occurred to her that she was going to get stuck in the mountain!
She quickly pulled her phone out of her backpack, but there was no signal there.
She tried to stand up, but she could barely stand up, even if she tried to grab the tree beside her.
Linda panicked. There was no one else on this mountain, and as the sky got darker, she could hear the cries of the animals.
Her scalp tingled, and tears began to gush out of her eyes uncontrollably. She turned the phone on and off to find a signal, but the battery of the only phone that could save her life was running out.
She dragged herself forward on the ground and tried her best not to make any sound that might attract the wild animals.
However, she could not even differentiate the direction, so how was she going to get out of this mountain by herself?
Just when Linda felt hopeless, she heard a series of hurried footsteps.
She held her breath, and her hair all stood up.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer until they stopped right before her. She was stunned, and then a hand appeared out of thin air.
The fingers were long and slender, the bones were well-defined, and the skin was fair. It was a very beautiful hand.
Linda was stunned, and then she met glance with a pair of gentle eyes.
“It’s you?” She was shocked. “Dr. Stafford?”
“What’s the matter? You look surprised,” asked Seth, a smile dancing on his lips. He squatted next to her and tried to lift her injured right leg.
“Argh!” Linda yelped out in pain. “Dr. Stafford, it hurts!”
