Chapter 872
Richard swept his gaze across the two of them before saying to Trevor, “Continue your run.”
Trevor did not dare to protest. He waved to Angela with a smile. “I’ll carry on with my run, Miss Meyers. Have a
good rest!”
Angela felt a little bad as she watched Trevor running off into the distance. She turned to Richard and said a little
begrudgingly, “He ran all the way there and back with me, but you’re asking him to do another run now. Will he be
alright?”
“This is between me and my subordinate, Miss Meyers. You should stay out of it,” Richard retorted coolly.
Angela bit her lip in slight embarrassment, but she did feel bad for Trevor.
She headed for the canteen. Everyone probably heard about her already, as they greeted her and were very
courteous toward her.
After breakfast, she realized that she did not have a phone, a laptop, or even Internet access. It was like she had
gone back in time and was living in the old, pre Internet days. She was far too bored in her room, so she decided to

Angela chose a small path to follow. After walking about for a while, she heard someone calling out to her. She
turned to look and saw two men walking over with their hands full of freshly-hunted wild rabbits.
“You must be Miss Meyers!”
“Yes, that’s me. Did you guys go hunting?” Angela was full of curiosity.
“Yup! There are a lot of wild rabbits around here, so we decided to catch a few to add to the menu,” the older man
said.
The other man looked a little younger. He blushed at the sight of Angela and was too embarrassed to talk.
They all considered Angela a gorgeous woman whom they rarely had the fortune to meet in person. She was even
more beautiful than movie stars and other celebrities.
“Where does this path lead to? I’d like to take a walk,” Angela asked.
“It leads to the back of the mountain, which is a pretty rocky area. You need to be careful.”
“I will!” Angela flashed a grateful smile at them.
“You shouldn’t wander off too far either. I’m worried that you might get lost.”
Angela nodded in agreement. She was just taking a walk out of boredom, and she had complete faith in her sense
of direction, so she doubted that she would get lost in the woods like some sort of cliche.
Therefore, she continued down the path at leisure. She even spotted the wild white olives that Trevor had plucked
for her earlier. The sweet and sour taste had really grown on her.
Unfortunately, this particular tree did not have that many ripe ones. It took Angela
quite some time to find one that was ripe enough for her to eat. She felt pretty blissful as she munched on it.
She continued down the path, and soon enough, she arrived at a rocky plain.
Meanwhile, at the base’s main entrance, Richard walked out in search of Angela as he received some new
information that required him to ask her a few questions.
“Has anyone seen Angela?” Richard asked the people who were walking into the base. The two men who went
rabbit-hunting were among them, so one of them
quickly responded, “Captain Lloyd, I saw Miss Meyers heading off on a walk to the back of the mountain.”
Richard felt his head throbbing slightly as he exhaled. She was indeed a troublesome woman. Could she not just
stay in her room and read a book or two? The back of the mountain was full of sharp, jagged rocks. It was not
somewhere she should be running off to for some fun.
He immediately headed over to the path that led to the back of the mountain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was Angela’s first time seeing such rocky mounds. She spotted a few boulders that looked quite flat, so she
decided to try climbing up the side of the rocky mounds.
Perhaps most people enjoyed taking risks in some ways, and she was certainly one of them. She wanted to
challenge herself and see if she could climb up the rocky mound. Moreover, the wildflowers growing out of the side
of the rocky ridges at the top looked quite pretty. She wanted to head up and take a closer look at them.
Angela stepped on one of the rocks and grabbed another one for stability. Soon, she climbed up what seemed like
an already-trodden path that someone else must have used to climb up as well.
She climbed and climbed and slowly began to realize that while it might have looked simple, it was far more
exhausting than she expected. Soon, she could no longer find any footholds to step on either. It felt like there was
no way for her to climb any further up.
Suddenly, someone barked at her, “What are you doing?”
“Ah!” Angela got a fright. At the same time, she lost her grip and her feet slipped off the rocks as well, and she
ended up falling from a height of about ten feet.
The man who called out to her immediately sprinted over to catch her, but he was too late. Angela crashed to the
ground, spraining her ankle when she landed. She instantly cried out in pain.
