Chapter 572

Mayra nodded with tears in her eyes, her eyes reddening. Shortly after, her ankle became swollen. "Gordon, I can't move anymore. Carry me…" "Alright." She didn't know about his leg injury at the time, and after carrying her up the mountain, his injury worsened. When the family doctor came, he was told that he had exhausted himself. When Mayra confronted him for keeping his leg injury a secret, the two fought for a long time because of it. That lasted until she saw the scar left by the surgery on his knee. It was shaped like a centipede and looked terrifying. She couldn't imagine what he had gone through to obtain his position. Gordon stood and noticed that she was deep in thought. "What are you thinking about?" Mayra snapped out of it and looked at him dazedly, thinking that it was great for him to be perfectly fine. "Nothing. Let's go," she said. Laying on his back, she stared at the slope and noticed people walking around there. "Is it okay to leave the equipment there?" "It's fine. Someone will fetch them later." When Gordon met her gaze earlier, he got the feeling that she was looking at another person through him. "Gordon, why don't I just get transferred to a school in Candor City? That way, we can be together all the time." This wasn't the first time she had such a thought because she felt alone no matter what she did. "You're in your third year of high school, and your exam is near. Transferring at this point will affect your studies. I don't need you to change schools for me. Once I'm done with my work, I'll go see you." She didn't sense the hidden meaning behind his calm tone. It was so faint that it was barely noticeable. "Alright. "Wherever you go, I'll follow. "Gordon, are you going to think that I'm annoying and try to get away from me one day?" "Never." "Why are you so sure? People change. What if that day comes?" "It would never happen. Even if it does, it simply means that I'm not worthy of your love anymore. I'll leave everything with you and disappear…" … The Hot Spring Hotel was the one and only five-star hotel in the tourist spot. In a private room on the third floor of the Hot Spring Hotel, tension filled the makeshift meeting room. Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the table covered with open documents and reports. "Mr. Barlow, please take a look. These are our hotel's financial statements from the past three years. In terms of both occupancy rates and customer satisfaction, we've consistently been industry leaders. I'm confident these numbers won't disappoint you." Outside the third-floor windows, near the ski slope, Anderson's sharp gaze was fixed on a familiar figure in the distance. Shane stepped forward. "A team from Everton Corporation has already come and reviewed this information. We'll communicate further with the person in charge. This is the contract. You can all take a look and sign if there's no issue." Anderson didn't look away until the figure stepped into the hotel.
