He never thought of Ivy as indifferent. After all, if she truly was, why would she bother coming in to look
for Mara?
Ivy lifted her tearful gaze to meet his. “You’ve got it all wrong. I am cold and selfish. You just didn’t see
it before! I’m inherently self-centered. I’d be happy if you and Mara were stuck in these woods forever!”
Balfour knew she was speaking out of anger, but he couldn’t help worrying about her. She had just
collapsed to the ground.
“Did you twist your ankle or hurt something? Please, tell me, will you?”
He reached for the flashlight, shined it on Ivy, and she flinched slightly.
“Why worry about someone as selfish as me? A person as cold as I should just be left to fend for
myself. Even if I broke my ankle, it’s none of your concern!”
Ivy was clearly speaking in the heat of the moment, probably concerning her ankle,

“Does it hurt?”
Ivy jerked her foot away and said, “It’s none of your business.”
“So it’s the left foot then.”
Sure enough, the moment he touched her ankle, she hissed in pain.
“Is it that bad? Did you sprain it? I hope it’s not a fracture. That would be serious!”
Balfour supported Ivy’s lower body with his hands and pulled her up with a bit of effort.
“Ah-” Ivy cried out in shock, then felt her ears burning. She hadn’t expected him to lift her
like that.
After all, she weighed more than 90 pounds.
“What are you doing?”
After lifting her up, Balfour laid his jacket on the ground for her to sit on before carefully placing her
down.
“Let’s check your ankle first. If it’s not too serious, I’ll get you out of here.”
Ivy frowned in discontent, “Why are you taking off your clothes? I already fell to the ground, my pants
are dirty. Aren’t you going to be cold now? If you get sick, it’s not my problem. After all, I’m such a cold
and selfish person.”
A small smile tugged at Balfour’s lips. Ivy’s fiery spirit somehow made her endearing to

him.
“Yes, I know you’re cold and selfish. I just like dealing with people like you, okay? I like to spoil you,
happy now? I laid my jacket down so you wouldn’t catch a cold. You were just getting better, and now
you’ve hurt your ankle.”
The more Balfour spoke, the more frustrated he felt. He had taken care of her closely in the hospital for
days, and she had finally left healthy and strong. Now it seemed they’d be heading back to the hospital
tonight.
Ivy hung her head in silence. She didn’t expect that she would trip and hurt her ankle.
“Can you move your foot at all?”
Following Balfour’s suggestion, Ivy tried to lift her foot but winced in pain.
“Don’t move. I’ll carry you out.”
Ivy’s eyes widened slightly, and the next second, Balfour had scooped her up in his arms.
He had just carried Mara out on his back, why was he…
Balfour glanced down at Ivy in his arms, as if to explain, “Your foot is injured. It might get jostled if I
carry you on my back, so it’s safer if you’re in my arms.”
“Oh,” Ivy murmured, too embarrassed to look up, and she missed the blush on Balfour’s
ears.
“Just so you know, I’m selfish and cold, and even if you carry me out, don’t expect any gratitude from
me.’
