After a few blissful hours at the Elephant Valley, they began to descend the hill.
“What are your plans for tomorrow?" he asked.
Evelyn trudged through the woods slowly. She had never walked such a long way before; her legs were already sore.
“Probably pick some tea leaves or go to the border."
Sheffield noticed that she had difficulty walking. He looked at her trembling legs and asked with concern, "Tired?"
"Yes." She didn't deny it. She looked around, but couldn't find something to sit on.
He squatted down in front of her, his back towards her.
"I'll give you a piggyback ride."
"You?" Evelyn stared at his back in disbelief.
He was obviously stronger than her. But he didn't look like the muscular type.
Again, Sheffield felt humiliated by this woman. He turned around to throw her a glance.
“While you were in high school, I was already going through all kinds of physical training in America. Don't judge a person by his Look."
Nonetheless, she declined, "No, I'd better call—"
“Get on!" He knew that she was about to ask her bodyguard to come and carry her.
Since he insisted, Evelyn couldn't refuse anymore and climbed onto his back.
It was then that he caught a glimpse of the ruby anklet on her ankle.
"You like gems?" She also wore a ruby bracelet and a sapphire hairpin.
“Yes. I like collecting them." She was surprised that he, as a doctor, had knowledge about gems.
‘That is a really Luxurious hobby to have.*
Sheffield had already figured that she was from a rich family, but it seemed to him now that her background was far wealthier and more powerful than he had thought.
“Only gemstones? Or do you like other kinds of jewelry too?" He began to mentally calculate how many gemstones he could afford to buy her.
“I love both," Evelyn replied casually. Her dad had specially furnished a collection room for her. In there, she had all sorts of gemstones and jewelry, made of different precious metals
“I see. I must try harder to win you over then; I could happily live off you," Sheffield said casually.
Evelyn didn't mind his joke.
"I suggest you stay in the renal transplant department. You will earn more there than in the nephrology department."
