Chapter 201
Seeing Lennon handing clothes to Mariela, jealousy surged in her heart.
Mariela had just finished getting dressed and was walking for a while when suddenly she heard someone scream from behind. She instinctively turned around, the winding mountain path obstructed by trees, unable to see what happened behind her. In no time, Lauryn’s little sister Kailey came running over, urgently shouting, “Mr. Stark, Lauryn sprained her foot.”
Lennon frowned and asked, “Was it serious?”

Kailey didn’t seem to be faking her anxiousness.“She looks pretty serious, can’t walk anymore. You should The mountain path was rugged, and one could easily trip or twist their foot if not careful. Mariela didn’t hesitate for a moment and thought to herself that after all, Lauryn was Lennon’s sister, so she had to go and check on her even if she got hurt.
“Go and see what’s going on,” Mariela said to Lennon.
“Um.”
Lennon and Mariela followed Kailey back for a while and saw Lauryn sitting on a stone by the roadside, biting her lip and emitting a painful
moan.
“What’s going on?” Lennon asked.
Lauryn had tears in her eyes and said, “I accidentally stepped on a small stone and slipped, fell down, and hurt my foot. It hurts a lot.” Mariela looked down and saw that Lauryn’s knees were covered in mud, and her ankles were scraped and bleeding. She was truly injured.
Lennon asked, “Can we still go?”
“Couldn’t walk anymore.”
After speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and she cried, her tears falling like pear blossoms in the rain. “I’m fine, brothers. You don’t need to worry about me. We’re almost at the top of the mountain. Hurry up and go watch the meteor shower. I don’t want to delay you from seeing it.”

Lennon nodded, “I found someone to take
Lauryn froze, her expression momentarily losing control, but quickly readjusted and continued to sob, “Brother, I… I also really want to see the meteor shower. Can you not send me back now? I don’t want to have any regrets.”
Just now, Lauryn’s scream was so loud that Fiona and Darryl, who were walking ahead, also heard it. At that moment, Fiona also walked over and happened to hear what Lauryn said.
Fiona glanced at Lauryn’s wound, twisted her mouth, goodness, the old trick of playing the martyr.
Sure enough, the next second, Lauryn pitifully said, “Brother, can you carry me up the mountain? We’re not far from the top, and I’m not heavy.”
Mariela and Fiona exchanged a glance and then simultaneously turned their gaze towards Lennon.
The observation deck near the mountaintop is only one or two hundred meters away, indeed not far. Lauryn’s request seemed very reasonable.
But Mariela and Fiona knew that it definitely wasn’t that simple.
