“And who might this be, Alice?” Elijah turned to Sean.
“Oh! He-He’s my cousin.” Alyssa quickly made a white lie.
The park rangers were largely oblivious to how things were transpiring in Solana City, given their focuswas on the park itself. Naturally, they had no idea of her identity as Alyssa Taylor.
“Your family has quite the genetics. Even your cousin appears to be a fine man!” Elias praised.
Sean blushed happily. He could accept that instead of “boyfriend”.
“The weather’s been peculiar of late, Alice. A storm might spring up on us when we least expect it,”Elijah said worriedly. “I’m truly glad you could pay me a visit today, but you don’t need to come up intothe mountains with us.”
“I don’t mind. Did you forget? I got a community award for helping people up there before. They evencalled me a living Mountain Goddess!” Alyssa said proudly, thumping her chest.
“Hahaha! How blessed we are to have two great individuals in our midst!” Elijah chuckled fondly.
Alyssa cocked her head. “Oh? Is there someone else I should know about?”
“Yes! His name is Jasper Beckett, from the Beckett Group!” Elias cried excitedly.
Alyssa and fellow “cousin” Sean shot one another a look. “What?”
“Mr. Beckett from the Beckett Group! Isn’t that amazing? What a surprise, right?”
Elias’ eyes were wide with admiration as he waxed on, “I only knew his true identity two years ago.You’d never expect a rich, refined man like him would be able to hike so well!
“When he went up the mountains with Mr. Forrest two years ago, he saved two hikers who got off thetrail
due to a thunderstorm. They were calling him the ‘Mountain God’ at that time!”

“This mountain’s only big enough for one god,” Alyssa grumbled to herself.
“What’s that, Alice?” Elijah asked.
“Oh, no, nothing. I’m just admiring Mr. Jasper’s bravado, is all!” Alyssa forced a smile and a thumbs up.
“Yeah. He really is brave. He even comes by sometimes to join our hikes and donates occasionallytoo.”
Elijah bearned at the thought, adding, “I’d love for you two to meet. After all, both of you have madesignificant contributions to our park here, and both adore the hike. I’m sure you two would get alongvery
The corner of Alyssa’s lips twitched. “There’s no need for that, really!”

In the end, Sean was left behind while Alyssa went to the start of the trail with Elijah and Elias.
Alyssa remained distracted throughout their walk, the only thing on her mind being the memory from 13
years ago when Jasper saved her from the pit she had landed in.
Like her, he’d revisited this park all these years.
Surprisingly, neither of them ever met one another during their visits.
Alyssa tightened her grip around her backpack, her lips thinning slightly.novelbin
It seemed like they really were never meant to be.
Any fate between them had run out in that incident 13 years ago, and everything else afterward wasnothing but a figment of her fervent imagination.
They soon reached the foot of the mountain.
Just then, several park rangers ran over to them, yelling, “Mr. Forrest! We just got a signal for help fromtwo hikers! One of their friends is still stuck on the mountain. We’re just about to go on a search!”
