Without any blame, he just held her tightly, pulling her into his embrace, his strong arms almost embedding into her flesh.
In the treacherous environment after the mountain rain, the two of them stood in the valley, tightly embraced, forgetting any possible danger, forgetting everything.
The rain was still lightly falling, soaking through the thin summer clothes on their bodies.
By the time Summer Sutton rushed over, she had fallen on the mountain path countless times, now her body, hair, and face were all dirty, but neither of them cared about that.
They embraced in the valley for quite a while, then Summer Sutton led Adrian Walyon to the village she had stayed in the previous night.
The whole crew was lodging here, and when they saw Adrian Walyon, everyone was momentarily stunned.
Not many people knew about the relationship between Summer Sutton and Adrian Walyon.
With a calm glance at the group, Summer Sutton pulled Adrian Walyon over and proactively introduced him, "My husband, Adrian Walyon!"
Everyone was startled again, clearly surprised.
Summer Sutton didn’t explain much, she pulled Adrian Walyon to the room she slept in last night, pressed him to sit down, found a basin, went out to fetch some clean water and brought it in. She first cleaned herself up from her messy state, changed into clothes she brought, and then started to clean him up.
Adrian Walyon wasn’t much better off than her, his face also had rainwater and dirt, totally unlike the elegant man he usually was.
Summer Sutton used a towel and meticulously cleaned all the grime off him, little by little, carefully.
When she reached his hands, her gaze stopped.
Summer Sutton held his hands, looking at his bruised and mangled hands, her eyes turned red.
She stared at his hands for a long time, her voice somewhat hoarse, "Does it hurt?"
Adrian Walyon shook his head.
"Are you stupid?" Summer Sutton felt a complex mixture of emotions, sour and heavy, "If anything happens to your hands, what will the entire Walyon Family do? What will all those companies of the Walyon Family do?"
She was scolding him, yet her tone didn’t carry a hint of blame.
More so, it was an indescribable heartache.
Adrian Walyon stared at her reddened eyes, which seemed about to spill over with tears, for a long time without refuting her words, instead pulling her into his arms.
"So, let me worry less in the future, okay?"
Summer Sutton was momentarily stunned, her head buried in his chest, she nodded slightly, "This time, it’s my fault. I just wanted to earn some tuition during the summer break."
Adrian Walyon furrowed his brows, lifting her face, "Summer, I want you to remember your identity. You are now the Young Madam of the Walyon Family, my wife, there’s no need to work so hard, understand?"
Summer Sutton had always been clear about money, which was actually a sign of the still unstable relationship between them.
They had only been married for half a year, and no one could predict the future.
However, after experiencing this incident, it seemed she suddenly saw him more clearly, the gap that had always existed between the two was instantly closed quite a bit.
"Got it." She stiffly nodded with a slight resentment, not refuting him.
Holding the towel, she cautiously began to clean his wounds.
The small mountain village had no medical facilities.
Even basic items like medicine and gauze were brought in by the crew themselves.
Summer Sutton disinfected his wounds, then found some gauze and did a simple bandaging.
The rain was still falling, and that day, the two of them stayed in the small mountain village.
