The car was driving steadily. As Elaine gazed out the window at the breathtaking scenery, she gradually pushed aside all her worries. In the face of such majestic landscapes, personal grievances and emotions seemed insignificant.Seeing her lost in the scenery, Aaron didn't disturb her and started contemplating how to quell the local disturbances at the vacation resort. One thing was clear: he had to secure the project for the resort. As for Lionel's secret acquisition of company shares... Aaron had his own strategies for that!As the altitude increased, the mountain road became steeper and more dangerous. Along with it, the scenery grew grander, but due to the weather, there was heavy fog, creating an otherworldly atmosphere.Aaron took a bottle of mineral water, opened it, and handed it to Elaine. "Have some water."Elaine glanced at him, her face showing a rare relaxed and carefree expression. Aaron noticed and felt that bringing her along on this trip had been the right decision.

"I don't care, I will never leave you here alone!" Elaine's stubbornness was unstoppable once it flared up. She firmly refused to leave, leaning back into her seat, her arms crossed over her chest, determined not to move.The pain left Aaron unable to think clearly, and Elaine's determination was giving him a headache. Summoning the last shreds of his composure, he emphasized once more, "I can still hold on. You go find help. I promise I won't die, okay?"She bit her lip, refusing to speak. The water inside the car was rising, already reaching their knees. The air was growing thinner with each passing moment. Aaron's every breath became labored, and he started to see double. He raised his head with great effort to look at Elaine and sighed helplessly. "Why can't you just listen to me for once?"Elaine's tears continued to fall, mingling with the blood staining her face, blurring her vision. Hearing this, her tears flowed even more fiercely. She looked at Aaron, resolute, and said, "I

"Mom, what's going on? Please, say something, Mom!" Sarah continued to pound on the door from outside, each knock causing Melissa to tremble. She knew how much her daughter depended on Aaron, which is why she had sacrificed even her 3% stake, making one mistake after another, all in an effort to pave a path to happiness for Sarah. But now, Aaron was no longer there. How could she explain this to Sarah?No matter how hard she knocked, Melissa refused to open the door for her. Sarah grew increasingly frustrated, turned and walked away while pulling out her phone. "Cathy, have you seen the news? Is it true that Aaron is in trouble? Have you heard anything?" she asked urgently."What do you expect me to know? If you don't know what's going on, how could I?" Cathy's tone was far from the usual flattery.Sarah found this irritating and raised her voice, "What's wrong with you? I'm just asking if you've heard any news. Why are you being so sarcastic? I called you because I'm worried!"After

Aaron woke up again in the evening. Rest had somewhat improved his weakened body, and his complexion had slightly improved. He glanced around the simple room and didn't see Elaine. He felt a mixture of disappointment and concern. He struggled to prop himself up with his arms."Don't move," Elaine entered with a wooden ladle and, seeing him trying to get up, she put down the ladle and rushed to support him. "Your leg was just reattached; be careful not to injure it again!"Nervously, she checked Aaron's right leg to ensure that the splint was still secure. She breathed a sigh of relief, then absentmindedly tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. It was only then that she realized Aaron hadn't spoken in a while. When she lowered her head, she was met with his dark, mesmerizing gaze, as if made of obsidian, and it made her suddenly feel nervous.Aaron chuckled softly and took her hand, holding it in his palm.Elaine sat down at the edge of the bed, following his lead. She asked, "U

Elaine woke up in Aaron's arms, and upon seeing that he was still asleep, she didn't disturb him. She got up quietly, opened the door, and found Grant chopping firewood. She decided to approach Grant since she had found his reaction strange after hearing the gunshot last night. It seemed like he knew something but hadn't mentioned it. This was an opportunity to ask him about it and inquire about Aaron's leg injury."Good morning, Uncle Grant," she greeted.Grant neatly stacked the split firewood and looked up when he heard her voice. "Good morning."Elaine asked, "Uncle Grant, do you really think the gunshot we heard last night was just a hunter shooting?"Grant hesitated for a moment, seeming uncertain, and then asked in response, "There's something I didn't tell you. Yesterday afternoon, I went to another part of the mountain to collect herbs, and I saw several men wearing camouflage clothing. It seemed like they were searching the mountain. At the time, I thought they were hunting
