Paige thought to herself, smiling self-deprecatingly. Her lips were so dry that even smiling hurt.
She took a deep breath, slowly poked her head out, and looked out at the snow outside. In the distance, a figure wearing a heavy snow suit and snow goggles walked on the slope she had walked on before, probably following the traces she had left.
The man was wrapped up tightly, his face was tightly wrapped, and he was carrying a large backpack on his back.
It was impossible to tell if there were guns or something else inside.
Paige squinted at the figure. She had been in the mountains all day and her eyesight was not very good, but she could just barely make out that the person was walking while checking the footprints she had left behind.
Suddenly, the bulky, tall figure slid down the slope.
It fell in the same way as she had before.
The person fell and rolled all the way down, because they were still carrying a large backpack, and they were not rolling smoothly enough, so they fell in a very disheveled manner, and finally collapsed in the snow and did not move.
“…”
Paige hid behind a mountain wall and looked on, an evil idea forming in her mind.
This person was so heavily equipped, she could go over and strip him of his clothes, first gaining a little energy for herself, and if there was food in the backpack she could also replenish her calories, so that she regained her strength and could counteract the other person and force them to take her out of the mountains.
Why beg when you can use force?
She didn’t want to have anything more to do with the Folsom family.
Paige looked around there, making sure there was no one else around, before limping towards the bulky figure.
She walked with short breaths, exhaling white breath in front of her, fogging her eyes, and her legs were sore and numb.
As she got closer and closer, the figure suddenly moved.
Paige was surprised that it didn’t fall unconscious like she did before.
This was really too much.
The huge figure slowly got up from the ground. It seemed that he had fainted from the fall, and he swayed unsteadily, patting the snow off his body.
Seeing this, Paige could only immediately bend down and use her last remaining strength to hold up a large stone and throw it at him before he could turn around.
The man seemed to sense something, suddenly turning around and looking straight at her.
Her disheveled, slender figure was reflected in his blue goggles, and he shuddered.
“Bang!” The boulder hit its target.
The tall figure fell to the ground.
Paige also exhausted herself, collapsed on her butt in the snow, and gasped for breath.
After a while, Paige tapped her leg, half-crawling and half-walking to the man’s side. She saw that the man had fallen in the snow, sinking in deeply.
“I’m sorry, I promise to pay for your medical expenses when I get out.”
Paige slumped down next to him and felt around his waist. Not finding the gun, she began to unbutton her shirt with a sense of relief.
She unbuttoned her backpack before unbuttoning her shirt.
The man was lying on his back on the ground, and Paige tried hard to push his body, but she couldn’t budge him.
This man was really heavy.
It was also strange that she didn’t have much strength left.
After thinking for a moment, Paige sat down on the ground and used the one leg that wasn’t too badly damaged to step on his lower back. She pushed forward with all her strength, tilting him over, while at the same time using her hands to pull the backpack off.
After taking off the backpack, Paige didn’t dare to rest, and rolled the motionless man back over, and began to undress him.
Once the zipper was pulled all the way down, she gasped for breath and began to pull the thick snow suit out.
As long as she had this suit, her physical functions would recover a lot!
At this moment, Paige’s eyes were glowing green.
It was snowing heavily and the cold wind was biting.
She was tearing at the clothes recklessly when suddenly, a deep, hoarse male voice sounded from below her.
“Paige, you’ve only been gone a few days, and you’re already trying to take off my clothes, so impatient?”
“…”
That voice.
Paige stopped stripping and looked at the man below her in shock. She immediately pounced on him and pushed the goggles on his face away.
Under his high, sharp eyebrows, the man’s narrow eyes stared at her deeply, and the deep furrows on his eyelids were so familiar, as if they were carved into her heart.
Paige was completely stunned, “Enrico?”
How could this be.
How could this be… He’s in Country A, how could he be here?
Enrico was lying in the snow, his hazel eyes staring at her pale face. “What, don’t you recognize your own man?”
“…”
It really was him!
Paige looked at him in disbelief, and then joy like she had just escaped from certain death surged through every cell in her body.
She screamed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and half-crouched on top of him. Her legs sank into the snow, and her feet kicked excitedly, sending up a shower of snow.
It was rare to see her like this, happy like a child who had everything.
This greatly satisfied a certain vanity in Enrico.
He pulled off the mask on his face, his thin lips curling up into a smile, reached out and put his arms around her, hugging her tightly, grinding his teeth and saying, “Paige, I’ve finally found you!”
He was so tired.
The winding road through the mountains was too difficult to walk.
“…”
Hearing this, Paige’s nose became sore and she almost cried.
She buried her face in his neck. At that moment, she felt how cold her body was and how she had finally come back to life.
Enrico lay there, pulled off the gloves on his hands and felt the overcoat on her body.
It was wet.
His brow knitted and he patted her, “Get up, I’ll dress you.”
“Oh,” Paige then realized that this was not the time to talk, and that it was most important to restore her bodily functions.
She quickly released him, sat down on the snow and pulled him up. As soon as she pulled, she saw a bruise on his face and was suddenly startled, “How did you get hurt?”
“…”
Enrico sat up from the ground and looked at her coldly, ‘It smashed towards my head, I’m still alive, so you should be happy that you’re not a widow.”
He followed her trail and found her. As soon as he saw her, he was smashed before he could even yell out ‘Paige”.
“…”
Paige was silent. She looked at him awkwardly, knowing that she was the one who had caused the injury. She laughed nervously twice and said, “I thought you were from the Folsom family.”
“Someone from the Folsom family, and you come over here to pick people’s pockets?”
Enrico asked, as he carried the backpack next to him over and opened it, taking out a women’s snow suit and mountain boots from inside.
“…”
What a strange way to make a point.
Paige knew she was in the wrong and didn’t dare provoke him, so she reached out and took the snow suit, saying, “Great, with this suit, I can live.”
She took off her own coat and put the snow suit on, with Enrico grabbing her legs.
Enrico put her legs on his own and took off his boots after grabbing one.
“Ssshh…” Paige inhaled in pain.
“…”
Enrico looked up at her, and Paige immediately smiled, “I sprained it, it’s not serious.”
Enrico’s eyes were filled with disbelief, and his movements became much gentler. He carefully removed the boots from her feet, which were already soaked inside.
He removed her socks and saw that her ankles were red and swollen, as swollen as a swollen steamed bun, and one foot was also soaked in snow water and white and wrinkled.
It’s amazing that she could still walk on these feet and even run over to undress him.
