Grayson was exceedingly polite as he said to Shirley," Sis, I'll carry you."
Shirley was relatively weak, so she did not feel like trying to act strong. Hence, she agreed.
Zayne whimpered at the sight. He was already huffing when walking on his own, but he still had to consider his dignity. Hence, he said to Josephine, "Darling, I'll carry you."
Josephine saw Zayne's pale face and did not know whether the cold weather or his frailness caused it. She replied, "I'll be fine walking. Just don't make me carry you."
Zayne was very moved by this. "I’m only able to marry such a great woman in this lifetime because of my good deeds in my past life."
Jay had a distaste for Zayne's lack of tact and immediately retorted, "If that's the case, then she must’ve ended up with you because she’s done too many wicked things in her previous life."
Josephine,
Zayne,
Once the female guide took them down the odd yet flat mountain roads, they reached the downhill fork.
The guide stopped to turn around and ask them, "This road on the left, according to historical records, has killed 382 people. Meanwhile, this road on the right has killed 283 tourists. Which one do you want to take?"
Zayne shivered at her words. "Why have so many people died here?"
"They fell down the mountain accidentally and died."
Zayne trembled and said, "Then, we'll take the one on the right. It has lesser casualties."
The corner of the guide’s mouth was lifted. "This is as far as I'll go. As long as you keep going down this road, you will naturally see the Yorks’ stronghold signage when you reach the middle of the mountain."
