“Philip, are my knees bleeding?” Barbara looked at her husband with trembling eyes, just like her voice. Both of her hands gripped Philip’s hand tightly.

“| don’t think so. It’s just a few scratches or bruises at most.”

“Is it true?”

Barbara dared to look down. However, before she could see the wound, Philip had carried her and sat her on a large rock. “You don’t need to panic. I'll treat your wounds, hmm?”

“My knees are bleeding, right?” Barbara’s tears began to clot. Before it dripped, Philip quickly wiped it away.

“Just a little. There was more blood at our first night.”

“That’s not funny, Philip.”

“But | said it as it is. Now be patient. After | treat it, the blood will stop coming out. You remember when | treated your finger that was cut by a knife, right? Something like that.”

After kissing Barbara’s forehead, Philip knelt down, opening the backpack. With a pale face, Barbara watched as Philip rolled up her trousers and treated her knees.

At that moment, Shania came with a dismissive laugh. “What's going on? You're crying because of a small wound?” Barbara’s hands clenched tighter. Her eyes grew hotter when she saw Shania’s face.

“You can still laugh? Don’t you realize that | fell because of you?”

Shania stared wide eyed. Her finger poked at her own chest. “Me? When did | push you?”

“| tripped trying to get away from you! Can you stop following us? This is me and Philip’s honeymoon. We want to enjoy it together, just the two of us.”

Shania put on a sullen look. Sitting by Barbara’s side, she muttered, ” Sorry, | didn’t mean to disturb you.”

“Aren't you tired of saying that?” Barbara’s face became increasingly

creased.

Shania blinked innocently. “Why should | be tired? That's the reality. | feel like this trip will be more fun if we do it together.” “You came here with Poppy. Why don’t you just be with her?”

“Her physique is not as strong as mine. Because of that, she stopped at the first resting point. The only ones who can accompany me are

you guys.”

Barbara gritted her teeth. Her anger was too deep. “Then why don you get to know other people? Make new friends. There are lots o male climbers here. They will be happy to accompany you. Why does it have to be Philip who you keep chasing after?”

“| don’t approach just anyone, Barbara. | don’t trust people easily, especially men who are attracted to me physically. Philip seems like a good guy. He’s trustworthy and dependable. That's why-”

“You like him?” Barbara interrupted, grimacing in annoyance.

Shania pressed her lips with her chin. While looking at Philip, she

nodded.

“Yeah, who doesn’t like a man as good as Philip? Look, he’s patiently treating your wounds.”

“But he’s my husband. You have no hope of pursuing him. So please, stop bothering us. You're beautiful and sexy. There must be lots of good men out there who like you.”

Shania laughed a little. “You think I’m chasing your husband? You're ridiculous. I’m an independent woman. I’m beautiful, smart and talented. Why would | chase someone else’s husband? | just want to

be friends.”

“Well then,” Philip suddenly stood up, “can you give us some privacy? A friend definitely hopes for her friend’s happiness. She can’t possibly disturb or disrupt her friend's life.”

Shania’s expression dimmed. Furrowing her brows, she stood facing Philip. “Am | the only one here who considers you friends? Do you

I

think of me as someone you don’t know?”

While looking away, Shania snorted in pain. “It turns out you don’t want to be friends with me.

Lazy to deal with drama, Philip answered firmly, “Yes. Rather than my wife feeling sad and uncomfortable, sorry, we’d better not be

While Shania was flabbergasted, Philip turned his head to face Barbara. “I’ve treated your knees, Babe. Do they still hurt?” Barbara shook her head. “Just a little sore.”

“Is there any other part injured?” Philip bent her knees again, check

her ankles.

“No. | think I'm fine.”

“Can you continue to the top?”

Barbara nodded like Emily had just stopped crying. “Yes, | don’t want our journey so far to be in vain. | want to get to the top.” “Then, let's continue walking. Just take it slow. There’s no need to

rush. No one is chasing us now.”

While Philip put the first aid kit into the bag, Barbara glanced at

Shania. The girl looking at Philip with a tangled face. When they stood up, Shania stood up too.

“| remind you once again. Please don't follow us,” Barbara said, sounding like a grumble.

“Who's following you guys? | want to go to the top too. Are you the owner of this mountain? No, right? You have no right to stop me from

going up.”

As Shania walked away, Barbara could only look at her back in annoyance.

“Babe, shall we continue now?” Philip stroked his wife’s arm. Barbara blinked. “Sorry | ruined the moment.”

Philip smiled slightly and shook his head. “This moment isn’t ruined.

It's even more impressive. You managed to protect your husband bravely. That's cool. Now,” Philip offered his arm, “hold on tight. slip again, hmm?”

Barbara nodded. Holding hands, they walked towards the top.

even more.”

While Shania was thinking, Philip and Barbara arrived at the top. Watching the panorama unfolding before her, Barbara sighed in amazement. All the tiredness faded.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Oh my God, Philip. It’s so beautiful! Look at those cities and the color of the sea. The mountains there are amazing too. And hey.... Is that a lake?” Barbara took Philip to shift so they could get a wider perspective. “Yes, it’s a lake!”

While looking in the same direction, Philip nodded firmly. “That’s Reinevatnet. It’s surrounded by towering mountain walls. It looks like a lake-with a crown, right?”

“Yeah,” Barbara tilted her head. Her eyes were teary, full of emotion. This is the most beautiful sight | have ever seen, Philip.” “Your efforts paid off, right?”

Barbara nodded vigorously. “This is really cool. Thank you for being here with me.” She hugged Philip tightly.

“You're welcome, Baby. I’m also happy to be here with you.”

Fed up with Philip and Barbara’s intimacy, Shania finally turned around. “Never mind. I’d better calm down. If | keep looking at th my mind will only get more confused.”

While stomping her steps, Shania moved down. Barbara didn’t notic that. She was too focused on Philip and the rare panorama in front o

them.

“The twins must be really jealous of us,” Barbara whispered before smiling at Philip...

“Yes, even though they are jealous, they can’t climb up here yet. They are not old enough.”

“Oh, | can just imagine Louis ranting again.” Barbara giggled in

amusement. “Shall we take a photo now? You bring the selfie stick in the bag, right?”

“Yeah. And a tripod too. Let's take lots of photos and then eat some lunch.”

Barbara raised her index finger. “And after that, let’s go straight to the next spot.”

Philip widened his eyes at that suggestion. “Aren't you tired? At this time, we’re usually sleeping.”

“We're in Lofoten, Philip. It’s morning here, and the sun is always shining. My jetlag is gone too, soothed by the beauty here. You don’t mind driving after this, do you?”

Seeing Barbara’s eyes full of hope, Philip’s smile brightened. “I never get tired when I’m with you. Let’s go to Kvalvika Beach after this!”
