Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall With that thought , Hope couldnt sit still any longer .
She grabbed her bag and went downstairs , not at all surprised when no one stopped her .
It was already dark outside , and the lights at the front gate of the villa across the street flickered .
Hope rang the doorbell for quite a while , but no one came to answer .
This made her worry .
She glanced at the low wall .
Having spent her childhood climbing mountains and digging herbs with an old Chinese medicine doctor , Hope easily scaled the wall .
Inside the yard was as rundown as the front gate overgrown with weeds , and rats and 1/14 Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points snakes scurrying about .
It looked like no one lived there , and she couldnt understand why the man would choose to stay in such a place .
Relying on the memories in her soul , Hope quickly made her way to the room where the man lived on the second floor .
The door was slightly ajar , and a dim yellow wall light illuminated the room .
The man lay quietly on the bed , his breath faint , his complexion ashen .
The bandage on his forehead was soaked with sweat and blood .
Hopes heart sank .
Sure enough , something had happened .
Added to the library As she approached , she felt the heat radiating off his body .
She reached out and touched his cheek it was burning hot ! 2/14 Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points Pulling back the blanket , she saw that aside from his right hand and forehead injuries , there were deep and shallow scars across his exposed chest , along with some fresh abrasions and contusions .
Perhaps sensing someones presence , Easton opened his eyes weakly , gazing at Hope .
Its you ? You can still speak .
Looks like youre not dead , Hope said , not caring to hide her annoyance .
She really couldnt understand why this man , despite being so seriously injured , insisted on staying here alone .
Wouldnt it be better to be hospitalized or at least have someone take care of him ? Easton furrowed his brows , reminded of his miserable state , and coldly commanded , Who let you in ? Get out .
3/14 Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points .
What ? Hope was in disbelief .
Was it her memory that had gone wrong , or had she been mistaken to think he liked her ? Was he simply curious about the true story of his neighbors fake daughter drama when looking out the window ? A wave of disappointment washed over her, but then she quickly thought things through .
Whether or not he liked her right now didnt matter .
She had already decided on him .
In her past life , he had wronged her , and in this life , there was no escaping it .
You have an infection in your wound , and you need treatment immediately , or youll get a high fever .
Ignoring his resistance , Hope placed her hands on his pants .
Lift your waist , I need to take your pants off .
4/14 Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points Easton stiffened , his black eyes staring at Hope intensely .
Hope knew he misunderstood her , so she quickly explained , I just need to check the injuries on your lower body .
No injuries below ! No injuries ? Then why are you in a wheelchair ? Hope didnt believe him and forcefully pulled down his pants .
She was stunned … His upper body had perfect abs , an 8 pack with flawless lines , but his lower body was withered and thin .
His long legs looked like two dead tree trunks … Is your leg an old injury ? 5/14 Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points Before Easton could answer , Hope began pressing on his legs to confirm the condition .
Stop … he tried to stop her , but his whole body was burning with pain , and he could barely raise a hand .
Hope paid no mind to him .
She continued pressing until her soft hand rested on the top of his thigh before stopping .
It doesnt look like a fresh injury .
Why didnt you get it treated when it happened ? Eastons breathing became erratic .
He gave up struggling , his pale face flushed with embarrassment .
His ears were especially red , almost dripping with blood .
He closed his eyes tightly , pretending to be deaf and mute .

Then she unwrapped the bandage on his forehead .
The wound wasnt severe , with sutures visible , but the blood and sweat had mixed , and the wound had become inflamed and swollen .
Hold on , this will hurt a bit while I clean the sweat and reapply the medicine .
Hope began her work .
She was gentle , but Easton couldnt help but groan .
It wasnt the pain from his forehead , but rather the proximity of Hopes body pressing against his arm , which made him lose control .
Did I hurt you ? Let me blow on it .
She leaned down , blowing gently on his forehead .
Her red lips almost touched his skin .
8/14 Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points Feeling her warm breath , Easton found comfort in the familiar sensation .
Everything around him blurred , and his consciousness slowly faded .
Before he knew it , he had fallen asleep .
When Hope finished , she realized he was already asleep , and his fever had subsided .
Now , it was time to treat his legs .
She took out the silver needles she always carried with her and began acupuncture .
Two hours later , Hope was exhausted .
Her stomach growled in hunger , but she didnt have the energy to look for food .
Her head tilted , and she collapsed by the bed , falling into a deep sleep .
The next morning , Hope was awakened by a 9/14 Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points loud scream .
Easton ! Did a little thief climb over your wall ? Are you still alive ? Did they rob you or do something else ? The voice was bright and clear , growing louder as it approached .
Hope , still dazed , opened her eyes and hadnt yet realized where she was when a large hand pressed her back into the blankets .
Dont come out .
The mans commanding tone rang above her .
Hope was about to ask what was going on when she froze .
Because after she had given Easton acupuncture last night , she hadnt put his pants back on , and now he was only wearing underwear while she was trapped under the 10/14 Chapter 4 : 4limbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points blankets withth him ! Wait , hadnt slee been sleeping while lying onor the floor last nigilght ? How did she end up on n the bed ? As she wondered , ds someone entered the room .
Easton , are you alright ?? P Penelope rusheded over , about to check on Easton , but Easton on stopped her with a singleltololak .
What are you doing here ? ? I heard that you were thrown to othe old villa by that witch , and I was worried you might do something foolish , so I came to cloheck on you .
Oh , by the way , when I came in , l , foundd traces of someone climbing the walkilt sist 11/1414 Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points have been a little thief .
Are you alright ? Penelope continued chatting non stop , and Easton became annoyed .
Just as he was about to ask her to leave , he saw Hope pull off the blanket .
Ugh I cant breathe ! The blanket was tossed so forcefully that Eastons lower body , which was still without pants , was completely exposed .
You … you two … Penelope gasped , almost biting her tongue in shock ! Easton ! Youre hiding a woman ! Hope scratched her head , a little embarrassed .
Actually , I was just really hungry and wanted to borrow some food , and maybe a place to sleep .
12/14 Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points I understand , I understand ! You dont need to explain .
I wont tell anyone .
I wont be a third wheel ! Penelope quickly left in a whirlwind .
The house was left with just Hope and Easton .
So your name is Easton .
What did you mean just now ? They both spoke at the same time .
Hope didnt quite understand his question , so Easton repeated , Why are you hungry ? It had started as an excuse , but now Hope realized that if she was going to oppose the Newton family in the future , shed likely go hungry .
It might be a good idea to secure a long term food source now .
13/14 Chapter 4 : Climbing Eastons Wall + 5 Points She secretly pinched herself , and her eyes reddened .
Tears shimmered in her eyes , and with her messy hair and flushed cheeks , she looked pitiful , weak , and helpless .
