The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 

Lydia was extremely terrified. She hurriedly reached out, trying to grab something. 

However, when she fell, she could not hold on to anything. Her entire body rolled down like a watermelon. 

“Be careful!” 

Haylan was quick-witted. He rushed forward in an instant and hugged Lydia. 

Lydia was tall and voluptuous, and weighed 120 pounds. Therefore, the impact was especially great when she rolled down. 

However, Haylan could still hug her firmly, his body unmoving 

The only thing embarrassing was that, due to the sudden incident, the way the two of them hugged was a little off. 

Lydia’s back was tightly pressed against Haylan’s chest. Coincidentally, Haylan’s hands were placed on the most inappropriate part of her body. 

For a moment, the two of them froze on the spot, not daring to move. 

Lydia was injured and dazed from the fall. Her brain was buzzing, and the part where she sprained her ankle was in extreme pain. She could not recover in a short period of time. 

Haylan, on the other hand, thought that this was an awkward position and did not know what to do. 

He didn’t know if he should put his hand down or not.. 

If he did, Lydia would definitely fall again. 

Haylan thought for a moment and finally threw Lydia up slightly. He wanted to change his position and hug Lydia again. 

“Ah!” 

Unexpectedly, plans could not keep up with changes. When Lydia was thrown up, she let out a scream and moved her body, her arms flailing around in the air. 

With this movement, Haylan’s hands, which were about to catch her waist, were placed right on the part of Lydia’s body that should not be touched. 

“Oh!” 

Lydia almost jumped up as if she had been electrocuted. Her face was red. 

Haylan was embarrassed as well. He quickly put down Lydia and stabilized her body. Then, he said awkwardly. I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. Are you alright?” 

“I-I’m fine.” 

Lydia’s face turned red, and her heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of her chest. 

Although her sprained ankle still hurt, thinking of the awkwardness just now, she felt that her face was burning, and her mind was a blank. 

They had not interacted much just now, but the intimate physical contact and Haylan’s strong arms made her feel a special feeling in her heart. It made her heart flutter. 

The air around them seemed to have frozen 

Haylan looked at Lydia and did not know what to say. After a long time, he said. “Um, are we still going to climb the mountain?” 

Lydia’s expression was pained. She said reluctantly, “You know… My heels… I don’t think I can keep doing this.” 

As she spoke, she sat down and covered her sprained ankle. She was sweating profusely from the pain. 

“Let’s go down then,” said Haylan 

“No!” 

Lydia shook her head and said, “I’ve been here for so long, but I’ve never climbed a mountain, let alone had the chance to look down at the Lightdom City from up here. I want to see it!” 

“Then I’ll carry you.” 

Haylan squatted down and signaled Lydia to jump up. 

Lydia blushed. In the end, she endured the pain and lay on Haylan’s back. 

Haylan grabbed Lydia’s thighs and adjusted her position. Then, he said, “Hold me tight.” 

Without saying a word, Lydia immediately wrapped her arms around Haylan’s back and hugged his chest tightly. 

Originally, she wanted to hug Haylan’s neck, but when she realized that he had to climb the stairs, she could only hug his chest to prevent him from suffocating. 

Haylan carried Lydia on his back and felt Lydia’s body press against his. His heart itched. 

How soft! 

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then, he immediately took a step and climbed in the direction of the top 

of the mountain. 

In less than ten minutes, the two thousand steps were completed. The two of them appeared at the top of the mountain. 

Just as Haylan was about to put Lydia down, Lydia pointed at the viewing platform and said, “Go over there. We can see the beautiful scenery there. 

Hearing that, Haylan immediately walked over. 

When they reached the viewing platform, he put down Lydia and let her sit on the stone chair. He said, “Let me give you a massage” 

“You know about this? Lydia asked. 

“Im a mercenary. I know a little about medical skills like this, said Haylan. 

Lydia hesitated, but in the end, she chose to believe Haylan. She pointed at her right foot and said. “This ankle is sprained.” 

Haylan squatted down and gently took off Lydia’s right shoe. He also took off Lydia’s socks. 

At this moment, Haylan saw a small and exquisite foot. 

It was like a meticulously carved work of art! 

Haylan narrowed his eyes. 

He had never expected a woman’s feet to be so beautiful. 

So attractive! 

This foot of hers was so breathtakingly beautiful that it was indescribable! 

The ankle swelled with a large bulge. 

Haylan forced himself to calm down and pressed on the swollen area. “Does it hurt?” 

Lydia gritted her teeth in pain. “Be gentle. It hurts.” 

Haylan’s expression was calm as he said, “How about this? I’ll give you a massage to relieve your swelling as soon as possible. It might hurt a little at first. Bear with it.” 

With that, he circulated his vital energy and condensed it at the tip of his finger. He grabbed Lydia’s ankle and began to massage, press, rub, and tap it.
