Reborn: Another Chance to Leave U by Hazel Ramirez novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 She Sprains Her Ankle

Anaya understood and asked, “When you were abroad, you rarely showed up as the CEO of Prudential Group. Recently. you have been frequently coing to public places. Is that OK?”

Hearst answered, “II‘s fine. I used to hide from people, but now I don‘t need to.”

“Why?”

“Because I already have the ability to protect myself.”

Hearst also had the ability to protect the one he cared about.

Anaya still had doubts, but this was his privacy, so she shouldn‘t ask too much. Anaya changed the topic and talked about work

Hearst had spent some money to get through all kinds of procedures some time ago. Today, the higher–ups came to have a simple check. It only took a bit more than an hour for them to finish their work and leave,

It was neither early nor late now. It would be time to get off work when she returned to the company. Anaya suddenly had an idea. She wanted to climb up a mountain to the south and see the full picture of East Boston.

Hearst went up the mountain with her. Tim and Samuel followed behind them.

This mountain was not very high. But perhaps people rarely came here. The road to the mountaintop was covered withi shrubs. And there were many boulders. It was hard to see the road.

Anaya had worn business suits and mid–heeled shoes. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she suddenly remembered that her shoes did not seem suitable for climbing.

Hearst also noticed her shoes and reininded her, “Maybe we should go back?”

Anaya rejected his suggestion. “I can run even in high heels. There‘s no problem,” she said.

Anaya already got here, She didn‘t like to give up halfway and just wanted to move forward.

Hearst furrowed, but he did not say anything. He just silently walked to her side and pulled her.

Anaya knew that he meant well, so she did not refuse and climbed up with Hearst.

Halfway up the mountain, a slender and colorful python suddenly came out of the grass. Anaya was so scared that she took a step back

The slope of the mountain was a little steep, and the ground behind Anaya was much lower than she expected.

Anaya missed her footing. She was frightened and sprained her ankle. Anaya took two steps back and was about to fall.

The next second, Hearst reached out and grabbed hier waist. He pulled Anaya back into his arms and hugged her firmly.

Anaya was still in shock and lugged learst unconsciously.

She could hearlier bearibeat that hadn‘t stabilized. The herbal fragrance lingering in her nose made Anaya gradually calm down.

Hearst‘s worried voice came from above. “Are you alright?”

“I‘m fine,” Anaya replied.

Hearst released her. “Be careful.”

Anaya nodded and continued to go upward.

Taking the first step, Amaya felt a piercing pain in her ankle.

Her body swayed a few times, and she fell back again.

Then Anaya fell back into Hearst‘s arms.

Worried that she would fall again, Hearst had silently stood behind her.

And she did fall again.

Anaya tried to get out of his arms.

However, she couldn‘t push Hearst away.

just as Anaya was about to say something, Hearst asked, “You sprained your ankle?”

“Yes...” After a pause, Anaya added, “But it‘s not very painful. I can still walk.”

Anaya was not a delicate person. It was a small injury. She could endure the pain.

Samuel and Tim had been behind them, but now they had caught up.

Samuel whistled. “Hearst, Anaya, we‘re in a public place. You guys have to restrain yourselves.”

Anaya‘s face turned hot as she tried to push Hearst away.

This time, she succeeded with little effort.

But then Hearst held her wrist and pulled her to turn around. Anaya faced in the direction they came.

Hearst let go of her and turned his back. His knees bent slightly. His voice was cold and forceful. He commanded, “Come up.”

Anaya did not like to trouble others. Even though her ankle was slightly swollen, she said, “No need. I can walk by

myself.”

Hearst gave her two options. “Come up, or I‘ll carry you down the mountain.”

Anlaya pursed her lips. In the end, she compromised.

She reached out and tentatively placed her hands on Hearst‘s shoulders.

Hearst was strong, and his shoulders were also extremely wide.

As Anaya touched the fabric of his expensive suit, she wanted to withdraw her hand as if she had been electrocuted. But Hearst held her hand,

Helade herliands cross in front of his neck and paused for a moment. “Excuse me.”

He thought, Samuel is so sweet It‘s amazing that he hasn‘t been 355Jssale!

Tim thought. Some must be learst‘s fan.
