Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 75 He's Injured

The veins on Henry's temples bulged at her question and his tone grew a lot harsher, "Hold on to me tight if you don't want to get hurt!"

Yvonne didn't dare to waste even a second when she heard that and hugged him tightly.

Of course, she wasn't afraid of getting hurt.

She was only afraid to be separated from him while they were rolling down.

As they rolled down the slope, Yvonne gradually realized a very serious problem.

The ski trail was no longer as wide, flat, and obstacle-free as it was at the beginning. Instead, it became narrower and narrower. Not only did they start seeing trees, but also rocks of various sizes!

It was a race track!

They actually rolled onto the obstacle course!

Henry must have also realized that, because the expression on his face turned ugly.

He initially thought that they would just roll to the bottom of the ordinary ski trail. 1

But now that they were on the obstacle course, they could feel the difference while rolling down the slope.

"Henry..." Yvonne was scared to death. The fear in her heart was written all over her face.

Henry didn't say anything. His deep eyes kept observing various obstacles, trying to figure out if he could find a chance to stop.

It was at this moment that the woman in his arms shouted in horror. "Look out, Henry!”

"What?" Henry frowned, then felt a great impact on his back before he could even ask her what she was shouting about.

The expression on his face contorted before he lost consciousness with a groan.

Yvonne got up from his arms and shook him with her shaky hands. "Henry!”

The man remained motionless like a dead person.

Yvonne's heart suddenly sank to the bottom as she flew into a panic and burst into tears. "Wake up, Henry! Don’t scare me!"

She really had no idea if he would be okay after colliding into such a huge rock.

Yvonne clearly his muffled groan just now. He must have been in great pain.

Hence, her top priority now was to go back up to the mountain to find him a doctor.

With this thought in mind, Yvonne took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down before searching for Henry's phone on his body.

She didn't have her phone with her because it was in her bag back at the platform on the mountain.

Fortunately, she noticed that Henry had his phone on him earlier.

Sadly, reality was cruel.

Yvonne searched all over his body, but couldn’t find his phone.

Perhaps his phone dropped the moment he caught her, or maybe it dropped when they were rolling down the slope. Either way, she couldn't find it anywhere.

"Oh no..." Yvonne murmured under her breath as her shoulders slumped and the lights in her eyes dimmed.

Without a phone, there was no way she could contact Joe.

And now, she didn't even know how to carry Henry back.

Yvonne looked at Henry while sobbing. A few seconds later, she pulled herself together and held him up to check if there were other injuries on his body.

In the end, she breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that he was fine other than a big swollen patch on his back.

"Luckily he didn't hit his head!" Yvonne adjusted Henry's clothes, then knelt down and carried him on her back.

Since she couldn't find a phone to contact anyone, she could only carry him up by herself.

However, it was only her wishful thinking because she had overestimated her strength.

Henry was very tall and quite heavy. She only managed a few steps with him on her back before falling down again.

Yvonne was so frightened that her heart nearly stopped. She was worried that Henry, who was already injured, would end up injured more severely because of her. For that reason, she didn't dare to move him anymore and just leaned him against a tree trunk while waiting anxiously, hoping for someone to find them.

She ended up waiting for several hours.

Yvonne felt terribly cold all over her body. She was nearly frozen stiff and her teeth chattered. 1

Even so, she didn't have time to worry about herself because all she could think of was Henry.

"Henry? Henry?" Yvonne gently nudged him twice again, trying to rouse him awake.

There was still no response from him and it didn't seem like he would wake up any time.

Yvonne looked around and couldn't calm her anxiety down.

People who lost their consciousness couldn’t perceive the temperature around them and hence, could easily freeze to death.

She was worried and scared that this was the tragic end that Henry would meet, so she began unzipping her jacket shakily and held him tight in her arms to keep him warm with her body.

Although this wasn’t necessarily useful, it was still better than not doing anything.

The sky gradually turned dark.

Yvonne grew even more panicked and worried.

Before they came to this mountain, she'd heard from Lynette that it would basically snow heavily here every night.

If they continued staying here, they would easily be buried by the snow. Even if they didn’t get buried under the snow, they would most likely freeze to death. Either way, she didn't hope for either of that to happen.

"I’m sorry, Henry!" Yvonne clenched her hands into fists as she decided to carry him on her back again.

She couldn't stay here with him any longer and wait for rescue.

If no one came here, they would be waiting to die.

Yvonne caressed Henry's face as a pang of deep guilt flashed across her eyes. She buttoned up her coat, then squatted down again to carry him on her back and trudged her way up the mountain.

After walking for about tens of meters, she suddenly spotted the light of a flashlight not far from them.

At first, Yvonne thought her eyes were playing tricks o n her. She closed her eyes and looked again, only to find that the light was getting closer to them.

It wasn't a dream! There was really someone there!

Yvonne smiled as excitement welled up in her heart. She hurriedly yelled at the source of light, "Hey, is anyone there?"

The person holding the flashlight seemed to have heard her voice. Instead of moving in another direction, it came toward them.

Yvonne shed tears of joy when she finally saw hope.

"Miss Frey, is that you?" the man with a flashlight asked as he approached.

When Yvonne heard the question, she grew even more excited. It turned out to be an acquaintance! Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Mr. Woods, it’s me! Come here, Henry is injured!" She cried anxiously.

Joe's expression turned grave and quickly ran toward them. "What happened to Mr. Lancaster?"

"It's all my fault. I accidentally slipped. Henry caught me, but ended up rolling down the cliff with me and smashed into a rock. He lost his consciousness and hasn't woken up until now." Yvonne explained and burst into tears when she recalled their plight.

Joe got a rough idea of the situation.

Mr. Lancaster got injured and lost his consciousness from rescuing her.

"Where is he hurt?" Joe took Henry from Yvonne's back.

If he hadn't done that, she would almost be kneeling o n the snow under his weight.

Once Henry was gone from her back, Yvonne paused a little to recover her strength. "His back. He smashed into a rock on his back, but I'm not sure if he's injured elsewhere."

"I see. I’ll go get someone." Joe took out his phone with one hand and called a number.

Yvonne's heart finally fell back into her stomach. "By the way, Mr. Woods, why did you only manage to find this place now?" i

"I realize that you two were missing at first. I only realized that something was wrong when someone picked up Mr. Lancaster's phone."

"And then?"

Joe put his phone away and explained, "Then I sent out a search party, but this place is too huge. It is extremely difficult to cover the area. I tried my luck in this direction and didn't expect to really run into you two."

Yvonne smiled wryly, "Luckily you came. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do tonight. It’s all my fault.

Henry asked me to go back, but I insisted on following

him. If I hadn't done that, he wouldn't have gotten hurt H

She looked at Henry with her reddened eyes. The regret and guilt in her heart nearly left her breathless.

"Madam, don’t blame yourself. They're here." Joe gestured to the front with his lips and motioned to Yvonne to look.
