Chapter 5: I'll Get Your Back

When Lora was about to close her eyes, the man suddenly thudded down on her.

"Mmm!"

Smashed by his heavy body, Lora grunted in

pain.

He somehow passed out!

It was okay for him to faint, but his high nose bridge bumped straight into her nose.

The bone of his nose was so hard that Lora's tears instantly fell.

"Hey!" She snarled but got no response.

Under the collision, Lora sobered up and realized the man was not him. There was no way he could be him. Just now, she was bewitched by their similar gaze. Out of anger and shame, she immediately reached out to push him.

The man was so heavy that she couldn't push him away. To make things worse, the man's lips happened to press down on hers.

His lips, dry and scalding, had a distinct touch. Perhaps because he felt the coolness, his hot lips somehow moved.

Lora stiffened and widened her eyes.

Bloody hell, her first kiss reserved for her savior was gone!

"You're requiting kindness with enmity!"

Lora rudely pushed the man off, and the latter groaned in pain probably because his wound was hurt. In a sulk, she reached out and pulled off a few strands from his messy hair. Then she sat up and panted.

She sullenly wiped her lips, but her limbs felt weak.

Lora knew that the drug in her system was working, and it was Elsa who drugged her.

Now she already sorted out her thoughts.

She should have been traveling back to the age of 17.

Back then, she was still living in the remote Cloud Village and not taken back to Wood's house yet.

She was originally the daughter of the Wood family but maliciously switched at birth by Henry's rivals in business. She was deserted in remote mountains but fortunately picked up by an old lady who went out to collect herbs. Since there was a 'Wood' character in her swaddling clothes, she was adopted and named Lora Wood. Her fate of being starved and froze to death was changed.

Elsa, the real deserted baby, took her place and became the young lady of the Wood family. A year ago, her family accidentally found out the truth, tracked her whereabouts, and had taken her back.

It was Elsa the faker who came to pick her up. A housekeeper, a servant, and a driver accompanied her.

Elsa arrived two days ago. On the same day, Lora accidentally saved this seriously injured man in the mountains. The latter was hunted by a group of people led by Cole Green, a local villain.

The borderland was a chaotic place where evil people lurked, and Cole was a local tyrant. His only son was a lecher who often harassed Lora. Since the enemy of an enemy was a friend, she was moved with compassion.

She believed that the hospital should be watched by Cole's men and thus hid him in the medicine hut on the mountain.

Her grandma was a witch doctor in the village, and Lora also knew some leechcraft.

She planned to apply some medicine for the man and sent him away upon his recovery. Unexpectedly, when she came to apply medicine for him that night, she somehow fainted.

The next day at dawn, Elsa led a group of people up the mountain and bumped into the scene of them sleeping together, which gave rise to wide discussions among the villagers.

Back in North City, Mrs. Reed, the servant, trumpeted the matter and defamed Lora as soon as she got back to her home. The rigid matriarch of the Wood family disfavored her. Because of Elsa, the man was exposed and fell into Cole's hands.

On the same day when Lora left the village, a corpse was found on the backside of the mountain. Rumored had it the victim fell off the cliff and died. According to the villagers' depiction of his height and appearance, Lora believed it was this man who died.
