Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 873

He immediately headed over to the path that led to the back of the mountain.

This was Angela’s first time seeing such rocky mounds. She spotted a few boulders that looked quite flat, so she decided to try climbing up the side of the rocky mounds.

Perhaps most people enjoyed taking risks in some ways, and she was certainly one of them. She wanted to challenge herself and see if she could climb up the rocky mound.

Moreover, the wildflowers growing out of the side of the rocky ridges at the top looked quite pretty. She wanted to head up and take a closer look at them.

Angela stepped on one of the rocks and grabbed another one for stability. Soon, she climbed up what seemed like an already-trodden path that someone else must have used to climb up as well.

She climbed and climbed and slowly began to realize that while it might have looked simple, it was far more exhausting than she expected. Soon, she could no longer find any footholds to step on either. It felt like there was no way for her to climb any further up.

Suddenly, someone barked at her, “What are you doing?”

“Ah!” Angela got a fright. At the same time, she lost her grip and her feet slipped off the rocks as well, and she ended up falling from a height of about ten feet.

The man who called out to her immediately sprinted over to catch her, but he was too late. Angela crashed to the ground, spraining her ankle when she landed. She instantly cried out in pain.

Thankfully, Angela fell onto a soft patch of grass and did not end up with any internal injuries. She cupped her hands around her ankle and glared at the man who gave her a terrible fright. “Can you not just call out like that? You scared me half to death!”

Richard was a little vexed with himself too. When he saw her hanging dangerously on the side of the rocky cliff, his only thought was to stop her from climbing further, and he never thought he would scare her into falling off instead.
