Chapter 1180 What to Do?
Sooner orter, Emmanuel would have to acknowledge her, even worship her, submit to her, and
compliment her beauty.
However, Emmanuel didn’t bother with her thoughts. After the incidents with udette and Queenie,
he had to maintain distance from women other than his family. It was a responsibility to his wife and to
himself.
Soon, the two each drove and arrived at the back of the Lenoir Residence.
The once majestic Lenoir Residence now appeared deserted, and the gate was locked shut, giving a
sense of emptiness.
Emmanuel wondered where Quintus had gone, though. It had been a long time since he bothered
Mackenzie Could it be that his number one rival had given up on Mackenzie and moved on to pursue
other women? If that were the case, it was a good thing.
Because the ce where they discovered traces of udette was halfway up the mountain, the two of
them had to take safety measures and use a rope to descend.
“Officer Summerton, your body hasn’t fully recovered. How about you tell me the approximate location,
and I’ll go down and take a look myself?” Emmanuel suggested reasonably.
However, Ashton was unappreciative and coldly snorted. “Are you underestimating me? I’ve undergone
rigorous training as a policewoman for many years! One night of rest is more than enough for this
minor injury!” At that, she continued to secure the safety measures and insisted on going down first.
“Well, uh…” Emmanuel was just concerned about her being injured, but it unexpectedly triggered her
pride. Whatever, if she wants to go down, it’s her choice. After all, it’s her life. Emmanuel quickly
followed suit.
At first, Ashton was in the lead. However, she noticed that Emmanuel was slowly catching up.
Suddenly worried about being overtaken by him and facing his mockery, she sped up.
“Hey, don’t push yourself too hard!” Emmanuel shouted as he noticed.
He was her attending physician, and he knew more about her physical condition than she did. She just
had surgery the night before. Certainly, she couldn’t afford to be reckless now.
But the more he shouted, the more pleased Ashton became. “Hmph! Who do you think you’re looking
down on? When ites to rock climbing, I am a hundred times better than you!”
Thinking that Emmanuel was shouting to keep up with her pace, she elerated even more to leave
him behind. If there was one thing she could be better at, it wouldn’t make her feel vulnerable in front of
him.
To her surprise, as she increased her speed, Emmanuel also elerated and got closer.
“This guy is quite skilled!” Ashton was already struggling, but driven by herpetitive spirit, she
continued to speed up.

“Hey, stop! Stop now!” Emmanuel’s voice kepting from above. However, Ashton felt extremely
proud, thinking, You can’t catch up, can you? Are you surrendering? Well, I’m not stopping!
Lo and behold, a sudden snap came from above. The rugged rocks cut the hemp rope tied to her body
due to intense friction.
The sudden turn of events caught Ashton off guard, and she rapidly plummeted. Fortunately, with her
seasoned experience and agility, she quickly grabbed onto a rock. However, the rock, worn smooth by
years and water droplets, was extremely slippery. As she exerted force, her wound opened up again,
causing intense pain. Unable to hold on any longer, she loosened her grip, and her whole body fell.
“Ah!”

Even the strongest woman would scream in this situation. Her body collided with the protruding rock,
causing unbearable pain.
“D*mn it!” Emmanuel had no choice but to jump straight down, his feet pushing against the cliff to
elerate the descent.
Fortunately, the two were not far apart, and he quickly caught Ashton.
The weight and impact of their bodies made Emmanuel’s hemp rope almost unbearable. In this critical
situation, Emmanuel, to protect Ashton, had to use his body to shield her from the impact when the
rope pulled back.
Bam!
Emmanuel’s right arm was instantly numbed by the impact of the mountain rocks. The unconscious
Ashto rather unreasonable manner, collided with him with her pair of melons, exerting heavy pressure
that made it difficult for him to catch his breath.
“Hey, Officer Summerton, wake up!” Emmanuel endured the pain and gently pped Ashton’s cheek
with his left hand, but she was already unconscious.
“Annoying!” Emmanuel frowned. Seriously, what is this woman trying to prove? She’s seriously injured,
yet she acts as if this is some kind of rock climbingpetition! Now, we’re both hanging halfway up
the mountain. What do you say we do, hub, woman?!
