Billionaire’s Reborn Baby Chapter 157
The warmth of the coat instantly drove away the chill on Emma’s body. She looked at Emily gratefully and said, “Thank you.”
Just as she said that, another coat was put on her. Janessa reached out and held her hands. “Come. Hold my hands. My body is hotter.”
Emma didn’t usually get too close to other people, so when Janessa held her hands, she felt uncomfortable and withdrew her hands, “No need.”
Janessa had stayed in the Tea Manor for a few days and was familiar with Emma. She knew that Emma did not like to talk and tended to be indifferent, but actually, she was very nice and kind.
She held Emma’s hands tightly. “Come on. Let me hold your hands. Who can take of Stony if you get sick?”
Hearing this, Emma stopped and let Janessa hold her hands.
Armando silently approached and wrapped his hands around them.
Janessa said, “…”
Arabella limped to Emma and thanked her, “Thank you for saving me. Whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I can do it for you. I….”
Janessa did not know what to say. She could only look up at the sky and showed that she was speechless.
When Arabella saw Janessa’s expression, she also realized that she was too selfish and arrogant by saying those to Emma. Suddenly, she stood there and didn’t know what to say.
Emma waited for her to warm up. Then she looked at Arabella and said, “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t want anything. It’s a little thing for me to save you. Don’t feel burdened. Even if I don’t know you, I will still save you. Besides, I’m also saved by them.”
As she spoke, her expression was gentle. She had fallen into such a cold place because of saving Arabella and had been soaked in piercing cold water for so long. But after being rescued, she did not reveal resentment or dissatisfaction at all.
Arabella suddenly cried out, “I’m sorry….”
Her grievances were nothing compared to life and death. She just didn’t know how to express her feelings at this moment, so she just wanted to cry.
Jaquan patted her back and comforted her softly, “Alright, stop crying.”
Arabella turned around and hugged him. Her entire body was trembling as she cried.
Finally, everything was settled.
Jaquan hugged Arabella, but his gaze was still focused on Emma. A slender cut was made on her face by a branch, and blood oozed out. She probably didn’t notice it. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Even if she noticed it, she might not care.
Emma withdrew her hands. She blew on her hands to warm them up and then put them on her ears. When she looked up, her gaze met Jaquan’s. The smile in her eyes subsided. She pursed her lips and smiled at him. Then she looked away.
Emma deliberately kept herself apart from everyone. And in front of him, she even treated him as a stranger. Was she doing this on purpose?
Why?
Jaquan had countless questions in his mind.
“My feet hurt….”
Only when Arabella in his arms screamed in pain did Jaquan regain his senses. What was wrong with him? Arabella was injured and he was actually able to think about another woman…
Arabella’s feet were stabbed with pebbles, and there were also several blisters because she climbed barefoot. Previously, she didn’t feel any pain because she was focusing on saving Emma. However now, when she stopped, the heart-wrenching pain came from her feet.
Jaquan helped her sit down on a stone and wear the pair of shoes he had brought with him. “I’ll carry you down later. Are you hungry? I have food in my bag, but I guess it’s already cold.”
Jaquan took out the lunch box from his bag and handed it to Arabella. Arabella did not refuse him this time. She lowered her head and ate the dinner that she hated last night. She chewed a few mouthfuls and tears slowly rolled down from her eyes.
“What’s wrong? Is it not good?” Jaquan asked.
Arabella sniffed and shook her head. “It’s too delicious.” Her voice was nasal.
“…”
The owner of the guest house finally came. He also brought a medicine chest and a water kettle. Originally, he only heard from Randy that someone had a fever. However, when he walked halfway up the mountain, he found a group of people standing there wet and shivering from the cold. He thought maybe Randy had told him the wrong information. But when he asked them, he realized that there was still someone who got a fever and lay there, waiting for rescue.
Hence, the owner continued to climb the mountain.
After all, the guard was quite capable. He carried Lord Top to the shade and let Lord Top lie on his suit.
Lord Top did wake up once and he only said, “Water….”
The guard did not dare to leave. He could only feed Lord Top the fruit in his pocket. Lord Top was probably in a muddle due to fever. He did not spit out any kernel, but directly swallowed it.
Therefore, the next time, after the guard removed the kernel, he would then stuff it into Lord Top’s mouth.
The guard naturally heard the scream. Just as he was about to get there with Lord Top, he saw Jaquan rush down the mountain. He instantly felt that he was unnecessary. So he didn’t go there and continued to guard Lord Top.
The owner of the guest house finally arrived.
He was tormented by these young men. Not only did he come to deliver food, but also he still had to deliver them medicine. They just came here to climb a mountain. How could they get a fever and get injured? God! The physical fitness of the young generation was really getting poorer.
He first fed Lord Top with medicine and water, and then let the guard carry him down, because there were still people injured. When they finally gathered together, it still took a long time for the owner to take care of them. When it was almost dark, they hurried down the mountain and stayed at the guest house for another night. They decided to return the next morning.
Lord Top woke up after arriving at guest house, which made Randy so angry. He pointed at Lord Top and cursed, “You absolutely did it on purpose, didn’t you? I almost broke my waist to carry you!”
Lord Top calmly said, “It’s because you are so weak.” As he said that, he glanced at Randy’s waist and said, “A man can’t be this weak, especially for his waist….”
Randy was so angry that he almost fainted when hearing this.
Furthermore, other members suddenly sat straight and showed their waist to Lord Top, “Lord Top, what do you think of my waist?”
Randy, “…”
Arabella experienced so many hardships, like tiredness, hunger, and coldness. After taking a hot bath at the guest house, she went back to her room and slept. She didn’t even treat the injuries on her feet probably.
Emma experienced the extreme coldness. She drank the ginger soup and tried to warm herself up. Then she went to bed with Stony.
Janessa and the others sat in the hall and listened to the landlady’s “ghost stories.”
“I was still young at that time, about ten years old. Once I went to the lake to mow grass. The lake was very long and wide. Usually we had to row a boat to get to the opposite side of the lake, but we usually didn’t go there, because there was a mountain on the other side of the lake. At night, there would be wolves on the mountain, so our parents wouldn’t allow us to go there. We could only mow grass around the lake. There was plenty of grass by the lake, so I would take a bamboo basket there. However, there was something hiding inside the grass.”
In order to create the thrilling atmosphere, someone turned off the lights and only lit a candle in the hall. The door of the guest house creaked, and the flames of the candle flashed in the wind.. A terrifying atmosphere spread throughout the hall.
