Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 24
She would never put herself in such a dire situation again.
In the highland, the difference between the morning and evening temperatures was extremely great. The cold winds blew with such force that Lumina shivered from the cold.
Adam immediately took off his coat and wanted to give it to her, but Lumma refused, “Mr. Hills, I’m wearing a thick down jacket. If you give me your coat, you will have nothing to block the cold. and get frostbite.”
Adam was a sober person. He knew that no matter how strong he was, he could not resist the cold. with a broken white shirt. She had just risked her life to save him, so her injury would be in vain if he was injured due to hypothermia.
He could not give her his coat. He wanted to support her or hold her hands, but she refused decisively. She insisted on walking by herself, so strong and independent that made him annoyed.
For more than half an hour they kept at a safe distance, neither too far nor too near, along the rough mountain path. They never walked a step nearer. Just as they reached the asphalt road, they finally saw several cars with lights on speeding toward them.
It was Leonard who came back with doctors.
The doctors got out of the car and immediately surrounded Adam, “Mr. Hills, please get in the car right away, and we will give you a full body check.”
”
Adam glanced at these doctors coldly. Were they all idiots? Couldn’t they notice who was injured? “The injured is Lumma. Give her a full body check immediately, and no omission is allowed.”
Adam paid great attention to Lumma’s injury, so the doctors didn’t dare to be careless. They immediately helped Lumma get into the car and drove them back to the hotel infirmary.
Lumma knew that only her left arm was injured, but Adam didn’t believe it, so the doctor didn’t believe it, either. They took care of the wound in her arm and gave her a full body check to confirm that there were no other injuries before letting her go.
The full-body check took a lot of time. Lumma thought that Adam had already left, but she didn’t expect him to remain here after she came out of the examination room.
He held a cigarette in his hand but immediately put it out when he watched her come out. “If you have any discomfort, don’t bear it.”
Lumma said, “Mr. Hills, thank you for your concern, but I am not seriously injured.”
Adam said, “Go back to your room to rest, and I’ll have dinner delivered to your room.”
Lumma didn’t want to trouble the other staff because of her minor injury. “Mr. Hills, don’t bother.
I’m fine.”
She insisted on going to the restaurant, so Adam didn’t say much anymore.
As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Adam received another call that made him feel bad.
Lumma seldom listened to him swearing. No matter how angry he was, he could always control himself very well. But, he was cursing now, “Hills Group never raises trash!”
It was Toby who called. He didn’t see Lumma last night. Toby was worried all night and delayed telling Adam about it until this afternoon.
As expected, he was fired.
With his ability and work experience in the Hills Group, Toby should have attracted many companies rushing to hire him as soon as he went out to find a job and filled out his resume.
However, Toby was dismissed by Adam himself. No company would dare to employ Toby in the industry in the future.
Adam got angry not only because Toby didn’t do what he told him well, but also because Adam was inexplicably irritated.
Lumma and Leonard were also terrified by him. They didn’t dare to breathe heavily, and they even chose to sit far away from him for dinner.
Leonard whispered, “Lumma, what’s wrong with Mr. Hills?”
Leonard spoke too lightly that Lumma couldn’t hear him clearly, so she moved closer to him, “Leonard, pardon?”
Leonard wanted to repeat, but Adam’s gloomy voice suddenly came, “Leonard, send today’s inspection records to my office.”
Leonard immediately put down the fork and knife, “Yes.”
Lumma also got up and wanted to go with Leonard.
Then, she heard Adam’s voice again, “Can’t he do this well by himself? Does he need accompany him?”

Adam asked, “So, why do you want to leave with him?”
Lumma kept silent.
Could she say that she was frightened by him and just wanted to escape to a place far away from him?
Adam blurted out without thinking, “When you are with me, you always remember that you are a men, do married woman and keep a distance from me. You don’t need to keep a distance from other you?”
