Chapter 70

She led him forward with their hands intertwined.

“Be careful,” Violet reminded him, “We’re about to go down the steps.” Then she stopped and helped him, letting him go first.

Jack seemed nonchalant. I’m not disabled, you don’t have to be so cautious.” His long legs calmly stepped onto the first step as though his vision was normal, and continued down.

Violet followed. “If you’re not disabled then why am I acting like I’m your crutches? Walk by yourself then.”

Jack’s expression shifted slightly. He did not respond.

They walked down the mountain with their hands linked as the wind yowled past them.

“You should be able to go down the mountain by yourself, but it would be terrible if you encounter a cobra, right?” She glanced at him as she walked. Her young mind would think that way.

“You think so highly of yourself.” Jack’s lips twitched slightly. “Is it that impressive, being able to communicate with a cobra?”

“It is impressive in itself! You have to admit it, right?” Violet’s dark eyes, which resembled black grapes, were full of spirit. “As for me thinking so highly of myself, well, I learned that from you, didn’t I? We’re the average of the people we spend the most time with. I’ve been spending a lot of time with you!”

His face was cold and his eyes were deep. He remained silent.

He did not like to argue with women, and neither did he like romantic relationships.

After a while, Violet asked seriously, “Hey, how long have you had this condition? Have you seen a doctor about it?”

He did not answer, acting as though he had not heard her.

“Is medicine still advanced?” Violet murmured, “and for your worth, it’s okay to win the world’s best medical resources!”

Why should he share his personal experience with her? Who was she?

He was a dignified and proud man. Pursing his lips lightly, his high nose gave him a haughty and distinguished look. “If you don’t want to say it, fine. Then, can you share how you’re feeling right now?”

Violet could not contain her curiosity. “Is your vision blur? Or can you see completely nothing?”

“Are you done?”

She turned her eyes at him, “Finally speak?” His handsome and elegant face was attractive despite his unhappiness.

The condition of his eyes had always been a cause of heartache for Jack which made him feel very insecure. However, this girl kept asking him questions about it!

As the questions came one after another, Violet saw him frown, until his lips had finally been pressed into a straight line.

The wind was still blowing. Their ears were full of the swaying and rustling sounds of the leaves and branches.

It seemed that she could not get anything out of him anymore. In that case, she should stop asking questions.

The wind howled stronger and stronger as they proceeded down the mountain. Violet could not stop herself from shivering and gritting her teeth.

“Tsk…” Why had it gotten so cold? It had not rained yet!

“Achoo-

In the next second, she let out an uncontrollable sneeze.

It was very embarrassing for Violet. She smiled and said, “My goodness, I wonder who’s thinking about me now?”

Jack, who had been pursing his thin lips, halted his footsteps and let go of her hand.

“Hey, what are you doing? Can you walk by yourself already?”

As soon as Violet had said that, she saw him take off his jacket and, with a gentle sway, raised and draped the coat around her shoulders accurately.

“Put it on by yourself and button it up,” he said.

His tone was extremely domineering. She blinked in shock.

What about him?

11:49 All he had on was a thin black shirt. “You…

“Stop babbling. Hurry up. Jack frowned slightly. His voice was low and sexy. “It’s going to rain.”

Tm wearing two layers anyway, you only have one…”

Before Violet could finish speaking, Jack grabbed her arm and helped her into one sleeve of the coat without giving her any opportunity to resist.

The closeness between them shocked her.

Without waiting for her to come back to her senses, he grabbed her other arm and slipped it into the other sleeve swiftly.

Violet pursed her pink lips. She could smell the faint fragrance of his body. Then, blinking, she did her best to snap out of it.

“Do you need me to button it up for you too?” He was a bit harsh.

“No, no… No need.” She was confused; her face was flushed instantly. She hurriedly buttoned the coat.

She concealed the panic in her eyes. Luckily for her, he could not see anything!

Jack stood in front of her, waiting patiently.

Violet looked up at him while buttoning the coat. At any rate, he could not see her.

She could look as much and uninhibitedly as she wanted. His facial features were astoundingly striking;

he had attractive dark eyes that penetrated the soul. The black shirt and long pants hung on his tall and straight body; his figure was perfectly proportioned. An indescribable charm emanated from his every move as he lifted his chin slightly.

As she gazed at him, she felt somewhat lost in the cold wind…
