The Hidden Gold Mine Heiress Divorcee

Chapter 287

Chapter 287 Five Years Ago 3

A group of people walked for about five or six minutes and arrived.

As they were walking on the road, everyone was talking and laughing, but as they saw the man not far away, they all stopped talking unconsciously.

It’s scary!

The man was covered in blood and lying motionless on the ground. If it weren’t for the small movements of his body, he would have looked like he was dead. When the group saw him, they all stopped talking and looked shocked.

But Ziana just glanced at him and casually said, “He’s still alive, lucky for him.’

She spoke and walked ahead.

Gigi stopped her and said, “Let someone go ahead and check the situation first.”

Ziana patted Gigi’s hand and said, “It’s okay. I can tell he has multiple fractures all over his body. He’s no threat to me.”

She finished speaking and walked over to him, crouching down and looking down at

him from above.

Man’s face was buried in the yellow soil, surrounded by bloodstains, which looked

shocking. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Ziana lifted up his face and upon seeing it, her expression changed with a hint of

meaning.

“This is…” Gigi almost vomited, putting a hand over her chest and saying, “It’s so

disgusting.”

The man had wounds of varying sizes on his face, bleeding profusely. Some of the wounds were deep, with flesh and skin protruding outward, making it particularly

gruesome.

The most shocking thing was his left eye, which was bloody and distorted.

Ziana made a calm judgment, “The eye is beyond saving, but it can be treated. It’s just a

matter of finding a cornea.”

She didn’t look at the man again, after all, that face did affect her mood.

She surveyed the man’s equipment and looked up, then she had a general idea of what had happened.

Although her tone was casual, there was still a hint of surprise in her words.

“He’s quite lucky. Out of ten blind jumps, nine end up dead. He’s quite good at jumping, and he jumped right in front of me. I had to save him.”

After saying that, Ziana seemed to feel disgusted by him and let go of him in disdain.

“Those of you, lift him up. Also, inform all the doctors in the family to be prepared,”

Ziana said.

After giving the order, she cleared the area to make it easier for the bodyguards to move

in and out.

Who knew that the man on the ground suddenly moved at this moment?

Ziana frowned, “Awake?”

The man was still struggling, his movements a bit difficult. Ziana frowned and looked at him, feeling a bit impatient. “Stop wriggling around like that, it’s ugly.”

Ziana was not a patient person, being pampered since she was young as the daughter of a wealthy family has made her a bit of a spoiled brat.

Seeing that the other party was not obedient and didn’t listen to her advice, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said, “Don’t waste your efforts. On my territory, where can

you run?”

Ziana didn’t know if he heard it or not, but he didn’t move anymore. However, he raised.

his head with a stiff neck and looked at her.

Ziana curled her lips in disdain. “Stop looking, what can you see without your eyes? Rest assured, I saved you. I’m not a bad person. It’s just that you’re lucky today and happened to run into me, otherwise you would have died for sure.”

“Mainly because I don’t want you to die in my orchard, which would be too ominous,”

Ziana said.

“Anyway, no matter what, I’m feeling generous today. You’re lucky to have met me!”

After finishing her words, she waved her hand and couldn’t stand the sight of his unattractive face, so she quickly ordered someone to carry him away.

Ziana’s rescue of the dying man quickly spread throughout the Scott family.

“When did you get back, Yudel?” Ziana asked, surprised to see her father waiting for her

at the door.

He scrutinized the man on the stretcher with suspicion, remained silent for a moment, and then said, “You shouldn’t have brought a stranger back with you.”

“Someone fell in front of me, and I couldn’t just let him die,” Ziana hugged Yudel’s arm and coquettishly shook it. “And look at him, can he really cause any trouble? If you’re worried, you can investigate his background, but I think he really had an accident.”

Yudel raised his eyebrows and waited for her to finish the second half of her statement.

Ziana knew that if she didn’t explain clearly, Yudel wouldn’t rest easy, so she decided to

come clean.

She gave her conclusion in the end, “I’ve checked the surrounding traces, he was probably blind jumping and that’s why he lost his eyesight. The possibility of it being an accident is high.”

Yudel’s expression softened a bit, but he still said, “I will investigate him, but you better not have any more dealings with him. You know that our father’s job is very dangerous, and over the years there have been many instances of retaliation from those who failed to cooperate. If they have any evil intentions, they will use all means necessary, so what’s the use of resorting to such a crude tactic as feigning injury at this

level?”

Max’s talent was like a money tree. Not only did the government value his abilities, but

those big black bosses also wanted him to work for them.

The Scott family had been developing for many years, and although it cannot be said to be always clean, since a hundred years ago, their ancestors had had constraints on their ways of doing things.

Indeed, once a certain level of wealth is reached, one must assume a corresponding social responsibility.

Màx adhered to the family principles, not touching what he shouldn’t and not

cooperating with those he shouldn’t.

As a result, they offended many people. Some went crazy after being refused cooperation and resorted to kidnapping, bomb attacks, and other retaliatory actions.

Yudel’s eyes hidden behind the lenses became even colder. “They might have found out about the island and sent someone to come after us. It’s just the two of us at home now, so I have to be careful.”

He spoke in a serious tone, “Ziana, your safety is the most important thing. Let

someone else handle the task of saving him. Don’t have any contact with him anymore.”

Ziana initially rescued that person as a matter of convenience, and didn’t take it seriously, nor did she intend to personally intervene.

A stranger wasn’t worth her effort.

Now, after listening to Yudel’s words, she obediently agreed, “I’ll listen to you, anyway, he’s not an important person.”

Ziana said she would really not care about this matter and meant it.

She went about her business as usual, as if she had completely forgotten about saving

the man.

“Miss Scott, that man woke up, but he insists on leaving!” the maid Lynn said urgently

as she ran up to Ziana.

“Who is that man?” Ziana asked absentmindedly, genuinely not remembering who it

and her face showed no attempt to conceal her confusion.

was,

Lynn explained, “He is the one you saved in the orchard, one of whose eyes was blind.”

“Oh…” Ziana remembered, but her attitude was still indifferent. “Since he’s awake and

wants to leave, let him go.”

Lynn could tell that Miss Scott was probably not aware of the situation, so she explained a few more things, “He is in no condition to leave now. Although he is awake, his body is still very weak. He can’t even stand, let alone walk. We didn’t let him leave, and if he wants to, he has to inform you first. He said he wants to see you in person and thank you.”

“There’s no need to thank me in person,” Ziana refocused her attention on her book, “I saw him and helped him just to ease my conscience.”

Lynn hesitated for a moment, “Miss Scott, you’d better go and see him. If he leaves now, he may not survive. It’s better to help him while you can.”

Ziana hated being interrupted by irrelevant people and things when she was reading.

She turned cold, silent for a moment. Then she took a breath and eventually stood up, “Let’s go have a look.”

After all, the person was brought back by Ziana, and wasting money and energy to save him was not to let him die as soon as he woke up.

When Ziana entered the hospital room, everyone inside was trying to persuade the man.

It seemed like no one noticed her, so she just stood by the door with her arms crossed

and listened for a while.

“Sir, it’s okay for you to wait until your body has recovered a bit before leaving. In any case, the most important thing is to take care of your health first.”

“Your condition is simply not suitable for long-distance travel. The nearest city from

here is also several hours away.”

“Moreover, Miss Scott has instructed us to find a suitable cornea for you. Why don’t you focus on getting your eyes treated before leaving?”

Boris remained silent all along, only showing a change in expression when he heard the

words “Miss Scott”.

He learned in the past few days that it was Miss Scott who saved him. Everyone here listened to her, so if he wanted to leave, he must first get her approval.

So he lifted his head and asked, “Has She arrived? I want to say goodbye to her in

person.

As soon as he lifted his head, Ziana caught a clear glimpse of his face and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She remembered that on the day she saved him, he looked quite terrible, with blood everywhere. How could he possibly have looked good back then?

However, at this moment, his face looked completely different.

Although there were still swollen wounds and a bandage wrapped around his left eye, it was clear to anyone that he had a very good foundation, a particularly good one.

With his slanted eyebrows, deep and mysterious eyes, straight nose, and thin lips, he had the typical face of a heartless and unfaithful playboy.

However, his demeanor was not at all charming. On the contrary, he appeared very aloof. When he looked at people with his only eye, there was a hint of coldness and distance in his absent- mindedness.

Even though he looked like this now, he couldn’t be called ugly.

If nothing had happened, Ziana could almost imagine how charming this face would be.

She had a tendency to soften her attitude towards good-looking people involuntarily.

When she heard him ask, she readily replied, “I’m here.”

As soon as she spoke, everyone looked over, including Boris on the bed.

Ziana maintained her composure and asked, “I heard you have something to say to

me?”

Boris was surprised to see that Miss Scott was actually a teenager, but he quickly regained his composure.

He spoke calmly and respectfully, “Miss Scott, I’m Boris Lewis. Thank you for saving my life. I’m very grateful, but I must leave now because I have something important to attend to. Please rest assured that I will remember your kindness, and when I get back home, I will repay you generously. Thank you again.”

Facing his life-saving benefactor, Boris was very respectful in his attitude.

He had never spoken so politely and amiably to anyone before.

The Miss Scott in front of him was the first.

He thought that Miss Scott, who was young and kind-hearted enough to save him, would persuade him to stay after hearing his words.

As Boris had prepared himself to respond to her persuasion, he was taken aback by

Ziana’s indifferent response, “Okay then, you can leave now.”

Surprisingly, she was so straightforward?

He was a little surprised by her prompt response and was momentarily stunned.

Ziana nodded again, “Go ahead.”

Boris was curious, but he wouldn’t pursue the reason, and he didn’t have the mood to investigate at the moment.

He just wanted to hurry back to the Lewis family now. Grandfather needed him, and he had to take care of his parents’ affairs.

Even though he didn’t have any emotional attachment or even harbored some resentment towards them, there were things that he needed to do, and he wouldn’t

refuse to do them.

Thinking this way, he couldn’t wait any longer.

“Thank you, Miss Scott,” Boris said.

He hurriedly thanked Miss Scott and lifted the covers, eager to get out of bed.

Only as soon as his feet touched the ground, before he even had time to react, he fell

heavily to the ground.

The maids were alarmed by the situation and rushed to help him up.

“Don’t touch him,” Though Ziana’s eyes seemed disinterested, her tone brooked no argument, “Let him get up on his own.”
