Chapter 190
“I saw some withered grass piled up somewhere along the way up the mountain, Susan said slowly.
“Let’s go over and light the grass. The smoke will definitely attract the attention of the rescue team.”
“Okay.” Timothy agreed.
When they went up the mountain, Timothy paid no attention to the surroundings; he paid all his
attention to Susan.
Susan seemed to be absentminded, but in fact, she had gathered a lot of information about the ce.
Timothy let out a bitterugh.
In his eyes, Susan paid so much attention to the surroundings because she was preparing to escape.
Susan didn’t notice Timothy’s reaction. She said in a cautious tone, “I didn’t try this method because I
was afraid that the fire would attract more beasts over. Now, we have no other choice, so we have to
take the risk.”
“I know.” Timothy calmed down and quickly agreed.
“Follow me then.” With the torch in hand, Susan slowly moved in a certain direction.
Once the wolves approached them, she would wave the torch to scare them away.
There were just four wolves, and they didn’t dare to attack Susan and Timothy for they had a torch and
knife.
In this subtle confrontation, Susan reached the ce where she saw the pile of dried grass,
It was strange that the pile of dried grass was ced together orderly as if someone had done that on
purpose. However, who would be so bored as to do that deep in the mountain?
Despite that, Susan did not think too much about it.
She didn’t care who ced the grass together and what his purpose was.
Now, the pile of grass could save their lives.
Without hesitation, Susan lit the dried grass with thest torch they had.
The torchpletely went out, but the grass was set on fire.
The fire soon erupted.
The smoke rose straight into the night sky.
In the mountains.

Ben raised his head and saw the smoke. His pupils suddenly contracted.
He believed that the fire was a signal sent out by Susan for help.
Ben immediately turned around and quickened his pace running in that direction.
The people who came with him followed him one after another.
Standing near the fire, Susan slowly threw some branches into the fire in an attempt to make it burn
longer.
The fire was so strong that the wolves were finally a little scared.
They slowly retreated.
“They’re leaving.” Timothy was pleasantly surprised.
Susan nodded and was visibly overjoyed.
In their eyes, the wild wolves must have decided to give up.
The wolves slowly stepped back, and soon, they would get out of Susan’s and Timothy’s sight.
But at this moment…
It suddenly rained in the mountains without warning.
Timothy and Susan were instantly shocked and angry.
They wondered if God intended to make them die.
It rained so heavily.
“Run!” Susan quickly said,
Timothy nodded and started running. But before they could get far, they saw green shining eyes in front
of them.
The wolves came back!
What was even worse, they were in a greater number this time.
The four wolves came back bringing over other wolves of their pack. Now, there were more than a
dozen wolves in total.
Those wolves stood scattered, surrounding Timothy and Susan from all directions.
Susan’s face instantly turned pale.

At this moment, they were truly at their wit’s end.
The wolves were obviously aware of that, too.
They slowly approached the two of them.
Timothy and Susan moved backward step by step until they were at the edge of the cliff.
“Susan, we are going to die this time. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.” Timothy’s voice sounded unreal in the
rain.
Without saying a word, Susan stared at the pack of wolves fixedly.
She had not given up yet. She didn’t want to die.
Timothy wiped the rain off his face and smiled bitterly.
Since it was all his fault, he should bear the consequences.
He hoped that Susan would have a happy life.
With a dagger in hand, Timothy slowly walked towards the wolves.
Susan’s pupils contracted.
As programmers, she and Timothy rarely worked out. Thus, they stood no chance of winning the fight
against the wolves.
Without saying a word, Timothy charged at the wolves.
He threw a few stones at the wolves and then ran as far away from Susan as possible.
However, the wolves were not that stupid to take the bait.
1
Nearly half of the wolves chased after Timothy while the rest of them still stared at Susan covetously.
Susan didn’t dare to move at all.
In the rain, she could only watch as Timothy got heavily injured under the attacks of the wolves.
In the end, he slipped and fell off the cliff!
Susan wanted to scream, but she couldn’t make a sound at all.
Having lost one of their preys, the wolves were extremely angry. Right now, all of them were
approaching Susan.
In the rain, Susan’s face was pale and haggard.

Trembling, she stepped back bit by bit.
Probably, she should just jump off the cliff so that she wouldn’t end up as the wolves‘ food.
She looked down at the cliff.
The rain was so heavy that she couldn’t what was beneath.
However, the cliff was so deep that she would die after jumping.
It seemed that she would going to die either way.
Was there really no way out for her?
The wolves were getting closer and closer.
Susan’s fingers trembled, and a hint of despair shed across her eyes.
She turned around and looked at the dark cliff.
Jump, or not?
Just as she closed her eyes and was about to jump off the cliff, she heard some voices behind her.
Then, there was a hubbub.
Susan abruptly turned around, only to find that the wolves were all lying on the ground, dead.
Then, she saw Ben rushing toward her.
He looked anxious and seemed to be saying something.
But Susan didn’t know what he was saying.
She was so tired that she almost couldn’t keep her eyes open.
She closed her eyes wearily and slowly fell backward.
“Susan.” Ben rushed over nervously and pulled Susan into his arms.
Susan hadpletely passed out.
Her face was pale, and she was soaked in rain.
Ben hugged her, his hands trembling.
He
never seen her so weak before.

“Fuck you, Timothy!” he cursed silently.
“We found rags of a man’s clothes near the edge of the cliff. The man who kidnapped Mrs. Landor
probably has fallen off the cliff from here,” a police officer said.
Ben picked Susan up and nced coldly in that direction.
“Timothy has fallen off the cliff?
That would be letting him off lightly,” he thought.
“Let’s go.” Ben quickly left the cliff with Susan in his arms.
In the hospital.
Susan was lying on the bed quietly.
Ben sat by the bed, not daring to move.
“Mr. Landor, we have professional nurses here. You can go to take a rest first,” the nurse standing next
to Ben said
softly.
Ben hadn’t had a good rest in the past few months. This time, he had been very nervous since he
learned that Timothy had taken Susan away.
Now, Ben looked almost as pale as Susan.
Shaking his head, Ben calmly replied, “No need. I’ll stay here to take care of her.”
It took him a lot of effort to find her.
He was afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
He had finally found her, his beloved girl, so he would not let anyone take her away again no matter
what.
Ben quietly looked at Susan with great satisfaction in his eyes.
Seeing this, the nurse left quietly.
The next day.
The sky was bright.
Susan seemed to have regained some consciousness.
Just as she was about to open her eyes, she heard Ben’s voice.

“Susan, you didn’t wake up because you still hate me, right?” Ben said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Susan hesitated over whether she should open her eyes.
After all, she had not figured out how to face Ben yet.
She simply kept her eyes closed andy still.
“Don’t believe the stories Timothy made up. I never signed my name on the divorce agreement. So, we
are still married and will always be married.”
The only thing Ben regretted now was that he married Monica back then.
If he hadn’tpromised to Thomas‘ request, all these things wouldn’t have happened.
“Susan,” Ben held Susan’s hands and said, “I have already found out what happened to Penelope.
Isabe was behind all this and framed you. I’ve told Grandpa the truth, and he regretted ming you.
He told me to bring you back home. He has learned his lesson and wouldn’t use you wrongly
again.”
Susan’s eyelids twitched slightly.
Ben keenly noticed it and asked anxiously, Susan, are you awake?”
Susan didn’t dare to open her eyes even more.
For some reason, she was a little nervous
She hadn’t seen Ben for three months, and now, she didn’t know how to face him.
She wanted to ask if he had ever suspected her back then even though he knew she was innocent
now.
Even though Ben didn’t marry Monica, did he ever consider marrying her?
1
If he couldn’t prove Susan’s innocence, would he choose to divorce her?
But Susan didn’t dare to ask these questions even though she wanted to.
It was natural that Ben suspected her at that time.
However, Susan still felt aggrieved.
She didn’t feel aggrieved when Charlie misunderstood him or when Carl framed her.
However, if Ben suspected her in the slightest way, she would feel very aggrieved.
Susan wondered if she shouldn’t have such a feeling.

However, she was still angry with Ben.
“You’re awake, Susan, aren’t you? You heard everything?” Ben said softly.
Susan’s eyelids twitched again.
This time, she couldn’t pretend to be asleep anymore.
She opened her eyes in a daze, pretending to have just woken up
“Susan!” Ben looked at Susan in surprise.
His eyes were so bright that she didn’t dare to look into them.”
She avoided his gaze and asked, “Who… Who are you?”
Ben’s smile froze on his face.
“Don’t… don’t joke with me, Susan,” he said in a trembling voice.
Bewildered, she asked, “Are we close? Why would I joke with you?”
Ben panicked visibly.
He shouted, “Doctor, doctor!”
The doctor got there soon.
After a careful check–up, Susan still insisted that she didn’t know who Ben or she was, nor could she
remember what had happened.
“What’s going on with her, doctor?” Ben asked.
The doctor said hesitantly, “It looks like… she is suffering from amnesia…”
