Disabled CEO’s New Wife

Ellen flew the helicopter down the cliff again. It was daytime, but the visibility got worse as they went down. As Edmund watched this situation, he became more and more worried about Rosemary.

No one knew how deep the cliff really was. There was no expression on Ellen’s face, only worry in his eyes.

The helicopter continued to fly down. After a long time, bang, there was a violent vibration from the plane. Several instruments sounded the alarm.

Ellen grabbed the steering wheel hard and the plane span around in the air. Before long, the plane was forced to land on a large rock.

“Are you oaky?” Edmund looked at Ellen and asked.

Ellen went up to the plane and examined it and said to Edmund, “The plane hit a rock and a lot parts of it were damaged. It won’t be able to be repaired soon.”

Edmund stepped off the plane and found that the fog was not as thick as it had been before, and they could still make out a vague view of the trees not far away.

Ellen stood on a rock, looked up and down the cliff, then took two bags from the plane, and threw one to Edmund, “We’re going down here, and they should have landed not far from here.”

“Okay!” Edmund felt the same way. So they took their things and went down the cliff.

Rosemary walked in front and saw a big wild date tree not far away. She turned to Adrian and said happily, “Adrian, there’s a date tree in front of us. I’ll pick some from it. You sit here and wait for me!”

Adrian looked at Rosemary with sweat on his face and nodded with difficulty, “Be careful then!”

“Okay!”

Rosemary quickly walked to the date tree, but her happy smile suddenly turned into a face of gloom. She looked up at the huge tree and wondered how she could get the dates off it.

Just as Rosemary did not know how to get food, a hedgehog was using its thorns to prick the dates on the ground.

The hedgehog’s thorns stood up one by one when he saw someone near him. They just looked at each other.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, the hedgehog might have decided that Rosemary meant him no harm. He gave her a deep look of contempt and ran off into the woods.

Rosemary sighed with relief. It was a good thing she had just met a hedgehog. It would have been a disaster if she had met any other beast.

Rosemary picked up some wild dates around the date trees that were soon dried by the wind. When she was sure there was nothing left, she hurried over to Adrian.

“Adrian…”

Rosemary walked to where Adrian was resting, but she didn’t see him. So she called him anxiously.

She called several times, but there was no answer.

“Adrian, where are you? Don’t frighten me…”

“A…”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“I’m here!”

Adrian came out of a nearby thicket and saw Rosemary in tears.

“Where have you been? You scared me to death. I thought you were…” Rosemary was just relieved to see that he was okay.

“I’m sorry. I just had to go pee over there. I didn’t expect you come back so soon!” Adrian said awkwardly.

He knew they were each other’s pillars now. They must take care of each other and support each other until they got out of the woods.

“Oh!”

“Here, sit down!” Rosemary found a cleaner spot and helped Adrian sit down.

Rosemary took out the dates just picked up from the ground and said sheepishly, “I’m sorry but the tree was too high for me to climb, so I could only pick up some dates blown down by the wind on the ground.”

Adrian was upset to hear what Rosemary said. He was supposed to be taking care of her, and now she was doing it.

“Miss Harris, I’m really the one who should say sorry. I’m supposed to be doing all this, and I’m dragging you down!”

Rosemary looked at Adrian and said, “How can you say that? You wouldn’t have fallen off that cliff if you hadn’t saved me. I’m the one who got you in trouble.”

She was really glad that they were both alive. If anything happened to him trying to save her, she’d be haunted for the rest of her life.

Adrian was going to say something more, but Rosemary took the dates, smiled and said, “Don’t think so much about it. Eat it. We’re gonna have to go further and see if there’s a way out.”

“Okay!”

“Adrian, don’t ever call me Miss Harris again. You can call me Rosemary, because we’re kind of friends now.”

After a pause, “Before we got out of the woods, we were two friends who wanted to get out alive together.”

Adrian finally figured out why so many people liked Rosemary. If it had been some other rich ladies, they would not have cared about him, but would have taken advantage of their status and background to order him!

“Okay!” Adrian then picked up the dates and ate them.

Rosemary saw the way Adrian was eating, and she knew he was from a very strict and rich family. Like Nathaniel, he was probably in it for the fun of it.

She shook her head. What was the point of thinking that? The most important thing now was to get out and help Adrian find a hospital.

Rosemary suddenly thought of Adrian’s abrasions on his back. She remembered that when she was in college, her teacher had told her that if you were injured in the field, you could find some herbs to relieve inflammation. But now she didn’t seem to remember exactly what the herbs looked like.

“Adrian, I heard the teacher say that if we get injured in the field, we can find some herbs to reduce inflammation. Do you know what they are?” asked Rosemary, looking at Adrian

Hearing Rosemary ask him about the anti-inflammatory herbs, Adrian put down the dates and asked nervously, “Are you hurt somewhere?”

Rosemary took a moment to realize that he had misunderstood. “I’m fine. It was the other day when you had a high fever, and I noticed a nasty bruise on your back. So I was wondering if you know any anti-inflammatory herbs. You can tell me and I’ll pick them for you!”

“Oh, I see. I thought you were hurt.” Adrian whispered as he picked up the dates and continued eating.

When he heard that Rosemary was helping him pick herbs, he remembered that he hadn’t felt being cared about in a long time.

Seeing Adrian holding a date in a daze, Rosemary pushed him with her hand, “What’s wrong?”

Adrian looked back at Rosemary, paused for a moment and said, “I just haven’t been cared about in a long time. Just when I saw you so concerned about my injury, I suddenly remembered something about my past!”

Everyone had scars they didn’t want to talk about. But we often inadvertently touched the wound that had been sealed for a long time when we made contact with people. That was the case with Adrian.
