Chapter 681 Here Comes Veronica (44)
Hearing Veronica's voice, Raymond hurried over to Veronica.
"Veronica? Is that you?" Raymond called out tentatively.
Veronica immediately responded, "It's me. I'm here, under a big tree."
After confirming that it was Veronica's voice, Raymond rushed towards Veronica without a word.
After a while, Raymond raised his umbrella and arrived where Veronica was.
When the light and Raymond appeared in front of Veronica, she saw Raymond drenched. His worried face made Veronica feel a little moved in her heart. When Raymond saw Veronica, he sized her up. He saw that Veronica was holding a book in her hand.
When he saw the book, Raymond frowned.
It was because of that book that Veronica had trapped herself on the mountain. She was in danger, yet she still held the book tightly.
But now that she had already been trapped here, it was useless even if he scolded her.
In the end, the flashlight in his hand and his gaze all gathered on the foot that Veronica had twisted.
A month ago, Veronica had just twisted her foot, and now it was still the same foot.
Raymond looked at Veronica with some anger on his face. "Why didn't you call me before you went up the mountain? Why did you secretly come here alone?"
Veronica didn't know how to answer him.
Raymond's words were a little funny. Why did she call him before she climbed the mountain?
Moreover, she had come to this mountain fair and square, and it was not a secret. He said something wrong.
However, now that she was trapped here. She was indeed in the wrong.
"You came up the mountain to find me?" Veronica asked Raymond, a little surprised.
"I didn't come here specifically to look for you? Could it be that I came here to look for a ghost?" Raymond scolded Veronica fiercely.
Veronica was speechless again.
He had specially come to find her, but why was he so angry?
Veronica pouted at Raymond. "You are a ghost!"
She knew how to fight back, indicating that her brain was fine.
Raymond's expression eased up a little and he asked, "How are you now? Can you stand up and walk?"
Veronica held Raymond's hand. She tried to stand up, but just as she tried, she fell back down. She looked up at Raymond's face with a guilty conscience. "Sorry, I can't stand up!" Raymond glanced at her and stood up silently, turning his back to Veronica.
When Veronica did not understand what Raymond meant, Raymond squatted down in front of Veronica.
Seeing Raymond turn his back to her, Veronica was a little surprised.
At this time, Raymond spoke, "Come up."
"What?"
Raymond said in an impatient tone, "Let me tell you! If you don't want to stay here for the night, come up. I'll carry you out of here!"
This time, Veronica finally understood what Raymond was trying to say.
Was he going to carry her to leave this place?
"But, my clothes are all wet..."
Raymond's tone became even more impatient. "Don't make me repeat. Come up!"
"OK!"
Veronica carefully stood up and climbed up Raymond's back.
When Veronica lay on Raymond's back, Raymond handed the umbrella and flashlight to Veronica. "Take them, you'll hold the umbrella and light."
"Alright!" Since Raymond carried her on his back, she had to hold the umbrella and flashlight.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Next, Raymond carried Veronica on his back and stood up. Veronica was on Raymond's back, acting as the guide.
After a while, Veronica saw the mountain path. "Over there, there is a road over there!" Veronica patted Raymond's back as she excitedly pointed to the front and said to Raymond. "Hold on tight. I'll take you there now!"
Raymond followed the path that Veronica pointed out and indeed found the way.
After finding the road, it would be much easier to go down the mountain.
Because there were road signs and maps on the road, they could find the road to the mountain by following the map.
With the signs, Raymond carried Veronica back to the right path. Half an hour later, Raymond arrived at the entrance of North Mountain with Veronica on his back.
When they arrived at the entrance of North Mountain, Herman saw Raymond walking down from the mountain with a flashlight, so he quickly came out to greet him. When he saw that Raymond was still carrying a girl on his back, he was shocked.
Herman looked at Veronica in surprise and subconsciously said, "Your girlfriend is really on this mountain. Young lady, your boyfriend is a good person. He is worried that you will be in danger on the mountain alone. He ignored the danger and went up the mountain to find you. In the future, don't quarrel with him anymore. Even if you do, don't climb the mountain alone in the middle of the night. It's so dangerous. If something happens, what should he do?"
Veronica was speechless.
Although Veronica knew that Herman was concerned about her, she got what he meant after hearing his words. "Sir, you seem to be mistaken. I'm not his girlfriend."
Herman insisted on his opinion and thought that Veronica was still angry with Raymond, so she deliberately said that she was not his girlfriend.
In Herman's eyes, Raymond was handsome and affectionate. He went up the mountain to find her in the middle of the night. He was such a good boyfriend.
"Okay, now that you are safe, don't cause trouble again. Go back with your boyfriend."
"No, Sir, you are really mistaken..."
Just as Veronica was about to explain something to Herman, Raymond took out a hand and handed the flashlight in Veronica's hand to him. "Sir, thank you for your flashlight."
Herman looked at Raymond with a smile. "You're welcome. It's good that you've found your girlfriend. It's late. Hurry up and leave. Drink some hot water to make you warm. Don't catch a cold." "Thank you, Sir!"
With that, Raymond carried Veronica and left.
Seeing Raymond leave North Mountain after talking to Herman, Veronica patted Raymond's shoulder in dissatisfaction.
"Raymond, we are not a couple. He just misunderstood us. Why don't you explain it to him?"
"It's so late. I went up the mountain to look for you. If I didn't say that you were my girlfriend, do you think he would let me go up the mountain and lend me the flashlight? Besides, we don't know him. Even if we explained it clearly, so what?"
It seemed that he was right. There was no need to make it clear to a person who would only meet once.
Anyway, in the future, they couldn't meet him again.
But she still felt a little confused.
She seemed to have been taken advantage of.
