Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 22
The big shot said with a smile, “Mr. Hills, you are young and promising, and you still care about the common
people.”
He suddenly changed the topic, “The villagers here have been farming and herding sheep for generations, and they
don’t know how to run a guesthouse.”
The villagers here were very simple; many of them couldn’t speak the official dialect. It was not
easy for them to run restaurants and guesthouses.
Adam had been in the business world for so many years, so he could easily see through what the
other party thought, “Hills Group has arranged a professional team. They will teach the villagers in person so that
everyone here can live and work in peace and contentment.”
The big shot laughed again. He was delighted wholeheartedly.
After lunch, they saw off the big shot. Lumma was not idle. She followed Adam to investigate the surroundings of
the scenic spot with Leonard.
There was only one asphalt road here, directly connecting the scenic spot and the airport, surrounded by rugged
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmountain paths and some dilapidated houses.
The villagers’ homes were scattered in various places on the mountain. The distance from one house to another
seemed to be very short, but it took at least half an hour to go up and down the
mountain paths.
Adam didn’t feel tired or dirty. He went to visit the residents from family to family and learned a lot
that he didn’t know from Jane.
The sun was about to set. As they were about to return, a loud noise was heard from the mountains.
The ground trembled, and the mountains shook. Loose earth and rocks crashed down upon them.
“Mr. Hills, be careful!”
Lumma called out.
If something happened to Adam, the entire Hills Group would be in turmoil, and she might not be able to keep her
high-paying job.
Lumma’s actions reacted faster than her thoughts. She quickly rushed towards Adam, trying to block the stone that
was falling on Adam with her body.
Adam walked in front of Lumma on the left, with his back to her, so he discovered the danger later than her.
When Adam heard Lumma’s cry, he turned around and saw Lumma leaping towards him with open arms.
He instinctively reached out to catch her. Her soft body went straight into his arms, and then he felt a stone strike
her shoulder and fall to the ground.
If Lumma didn’t help him block the stone, it might hit his head.
After a few seconds, the surroundings became quiet.’
Lumma hurriedly backed away, “Mr. Hills, are you alright?”
Adam felt something sticky in his hand, and when he looked down, it turned out to be bright red blood.
His eyes suddenly darkened, “Where did you get hurt?”
Lumma didn’t dare to move her left arm because of the pain, but she still smiled as if nothing had
happened to her, “I’m lucky. It didn’t hurt a vital part but my arm.”
“Shut up!” Adam sullenly picked her up and took her to a relatively safe flat nearby. “Leonard, call
the doctor immediately.”
When the danger came just now, Leonard’s first instinct was to protect himself, and he was still hiding behind a
boulder.
Seeing that Lumma was injured for saving Adam, he felt ashamed. “Mr. Hills, I’ll call right away.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeonard took out his mobile phone, but there was no signal on the mobile phone. “Mr. Hills, there
is no signal, and the call cannot be made.”
“Go to the hotel and call for someone.” After calmly ordering, Adam quickly tore off his white shirt.
“Lumma, I’m going to take off your coat and bandage your wound to stop the bleeding first. You have to bear the
pain.”
Lumma knew that her injury was serious and hemostasis was very important, so she was sensible. “Don’t worry, Mr.
Hills. I’m not afraid of pain.”
She had been afraid of pain since she was a child, but she didn’t want Adam to feel that she was sentimental.
Besides, she was also very afraid of coldness. She wore a long down jacket outside, with a cardigan and a
bottoming shirt inside.
She unzipped the down jacket with her uninjured right hand, but it was a little difficult to take it off, so she had to
hand it over to Adam.
Adam had planned to take off only the left side of her clothes so that she would not be cold when the wound was
bandaged. However, Lumma’s left hand couldn’t even be moved a little, so he couldn’t just take off only the left
sleeve.
