Chapter 506
That afternoon, Bella switched to a low-key sedan and arrived at the National Forest Park in the company of Steven.
Thirteen years ago, Bella nearly risked her life recovering her mother lost belongings in the mountains.
By right, the near-death incident should have left Bella traumatized
However, Bella was not the type to give up, especially when it came to herself.
Since the incident, Bella has not carried fear toward nature. She would make time every year to patrol the National Forest Park
with Frank and rescue some hikers in danger.
In the beginning, the other park rangers looked down on Bella, a young and beautiful woman. They even made bets that the girl
would not last a day at the park.
To their surprise, Bella gritted her teeth and hung in there, despite the hard work and horrible working conditions. She had a
strong will that many men would give her credit for.
From the rear-view mirror, Steven observed Bella, barefaced and in professional hiking attire.
Without the glamor of her clothes, Bella exuded an air of resilience and strength.
“It must be dangerous to hike, Ms. Bella. I’ll go with you,” Steven suggested with concern.

“You?”
Bella, who was resting during the car ride, opened one eye. “Do you have any hiking gear with you? Are you equipped with the
know-how to conquer the mountains? Do you know how to hike?”
“Erm... No, but I have surfed and dived underwater before.” St eyes lit up. He was eager to showcase his talents to Bella.
Bella clicked her tongue. “Are we even talking about the same thing
Steven pursed her lips embarrassedly and mumbled, “I will never go against you, though.”
“What if we got into a dangerous situation? Are you going to plunge into the sea? I mean, I’m sure you’ll look good doing it.
Steven scratched his head with a silly smile. He would take that as a compliment from Bella.
The sedan drove into the National Forest Park, but car access was limited once inside.
The rolling hills hiding behind the fog were in the distance.
Steven looked up at the towering peaks and gasped in amazement. That’s high and steep.”
“Is that all the adjectives you know for a mountain?”
Bella folded her arms and shook her head helplessly. “Mount Jaglee
is tall and majestic. There’s nothing like it.”
Steven nodded his head incessantly. He was her lapdog.

“Anna!”
While they were engaged in conversation, an enthusiastic voice interrupted them.
Bella turned around and saw Frank heading her way with Xavier.
“Frank.
Bella felt bad and teared up to see the illness’ hold on Frank. He lost a lot of weight, and his cheeks were sunken.
She went up to hug Frank. Frank responded to her as he would to his daughter.
“Have you been well?” Bella whispered.
“I’m good. I’ve been doing well.” Frank was all smiles.
Upset, Xavier lowered his head.
Bella took a deep breath to pull herself together.
Being a doctor, she understood the relentless torment of the disease.
It ravaged appetites, triggered nausea, and stole strands of hair. Even the strongest person was humbled by the grip of the
illness.
Bella cocked her head back and took a long look at Steven.
Getting the message, Steven nodded. He had found an outstanding doctor, as she had requested.
