I Only Want You novel Chapter 154

"James, what's going on?" Elizabeth was stunned and could not help but ask him worriedly.

Hearing this, James said in a low voice in a hurry, "Don't say anything yet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elizabeth heard a rustling sound behind James.

Through the light from the phone, she looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black snake rapidly hiding into the weeds.

Elizabeth instantly opened her eyes wide in horror and felt that her whole body was numb because of seeing it. Out of instinct, when she saw what she was most afraid of, she couldn't help but want to scream.

But she didn't dare. She was afraid that her voice would disturb it. The moment before she was about to scream, she quickly reached out her hand that was not caught by him and covered her mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the snake disappeared completely. The rustling sound she had just heard was gone in seconds.

When everything calmed down again, Elizabeth put down her trembling hand and looked at James in front of her in shock. She asked with a trembling voice, "Was... was that a snake?"

James just said, "It's all right now. Let's go."

"Okay!" Elizabeth nodded repeatedly. She was scared when she was alone just now. And now when she really saw the snake, she really didn't want to stay here for a second.

"Can you walk?" He looked at her and asked uncertainly.

"No problem."

James seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and nodded. "That's good." After that, he clenched her hand, "I'll hold your hand. Don't fall again."

"Okay." After that, she bent over and took off the high heels on her feet. It would be very difficult to walk in high heels under such a road condition.

"It will be more difficult to go up the mountain. I've just checked that it would be faster if we go down directly from here."

Elizabeth knew that he was right. She gave him a nod of assent, and then she was led down the mountain by him.

James walked in front and raised his mobile phone high in his hand so that he could see clearly the road ahead. Elizabeth followed him. With him, she was no longer afraid of the darkness and felt at ease.

However, although James was clearly not moving fast, she still had trouble keeping up with him. It was difficult for her to take every step because of her back injury. But she just endured it silently. She gritted her teeth and stubbornly refused to let out a cry of pain.

It was not easy to walk down the mountain, and she was in pain at that time. Elizabeth only felt that she had walked for a long time, but she was still so far from the foot of the mountain.

James seemed to be tired, and his steps became slow. Elizabeth, who was holding his hand, only felt that the palm of his hand seemed to be hotter than just now.

Elizabeth thought for a moment and called him, "James?"

"What?" His voice was not loud.

"Are you tired?"

He was born in a rich family. Since he was a child, he had a car when he went out. Except for running in the morning, how could he walk so much? Especially this road was so difficult to walk on.

"... Why do you ask this?"

"You..." She looked at his hand and said, "Your hand is so hot." And your voice got lower.

"...Well... Didn't I come all this way just to find you? What about you have a try?"

It was obvious that he was teasing her. But Elizabeth didn't think he wanted to mock her, but she only felt that he sounded a little tired.

Elizabeth felt a little guilty in her heart. "I'm sorry, James. It's all because of me..."

This time, he said nothing.

Elizabeth also awkwardly closed her mouth, but the guilt and self-blame in her heart were even worse. He must have thought she was big trouble, right? It was all because of her that he couldn't blow the air conditioner and sleep well at his spacious and bright home. On the contrary, he had to come here exhausted...

James's pace was getting slower and slower. And his legs were also a little stiff, especially his right leg. It looked as if he was dragging his right leg forward. His palm was getting hotter and hotter, which made Elizabeth feel that it was abnormal.

"James, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, he paused for a moment, but did not answer her question,"..."

After taking a few more steps, he squeezed her hand hard and asked, "... Elizabeth, do you believe me?"

Elizabeth was shocked by his voice at once. His original attractive sound was no longer pleasant, but very hoarse.

"You..."
