Chapter 537 I Lost "But...”
Braden's cold voice was particularly abrupt in the quiet forest, piercing deep into people's hearts. "I've
changed my mind."
"What do you mean?"
Shirley stared at the man, her despondent eyes tinged with anticipation.
"Just now, I decided to stay.’
Braden said calmly.
"Really?’
The woman raised her eyebrows with joy, and her eyes were shining like stars. "You finally figured it
out. Don't you want to escape? Do you finally know that you can't leave me?"
"That's not true."
Braden's flawless face was innately confident and calm. ’If I really want to leave, it's an easy thing to
do. You won't be able to find me at all.’
"Pfft!"
Shirley couldn't help but laugh.
This guy is in such a bad condition, but he is still stubborn.
"Yes, yes, you are the best and the strongest. There are countless paths to choose from in this forest,
but you chose the most dangerous one, Dargon Valley. You want to experience the danger, right?"
"Since you're so powerful, let's make a bet. If you can get out of Dargon Valley, I'll send you back to
Alina and give you freedom."
Braden raised his eyebrows slightly and showed an amused expression. "Really?"
"Of course. If you don't dare, don't force yourself. Be a good boy and come back to me. I'll treat you
well."
Then, she boldly pinched the man's cheek as if she was playing with a child.

After that, he raised his head and took a deep breath, as if he was feeling something. Then he hung a
shotgun and turned around to walk.
"Hey, are you serious?"
Shirley was still waiting for this guy to admit defeat. She didn't expect him to really take the challenge.
He had a desire to win!
"Do you know where this is? This is the most dangerous Dargon Valley in the forest area. Even if there
are no wild animals or birds, you can't deal with this terrain. You may miss a step and stepped into the
abyss. You're almost screwed. Why are you so stubborn?"
Braden's pace was firm, and he had distanced himself from Shirley. He said coolly, "Sorry, I am not
kidding. I'm serious."
"Don't regret it!’
Shirley was furious when she saw the man's determined look.
What's wrong? Is he trying so hard to escape from me to see Alina? I'd like to see how long this
arrogant guy can be so stubborn.
Then, the two walked one behind the other, about ten meters apart. None of them talked.
Shirley's nerves were tense the whole time. She was angry with him and afraid that he would be in
danger.
However, this guy was really smart. He walked all the way by the cliff, effectively avoiding stepping on
the blank.
Moreover, his sense of direction was too strong, and every step he took was the way back!
Why did she feel like she was going to lose?
How did he, a blind man, come to such a dangerous place with precise direction, as if walking on flat
ground?!
His eyesight had recovered long ago, and he had been teasing her?!
Thinking of this, Shirley felt even more that there was a trap.
She quickened her pace and caught up with the man, then opened her arms and stood in front of him.
Braden sensed the obstruction ahead and stopped in his tracks. "What's wrong? Do you want to admit
defeat?"
"Braden, are you kidding me? Your eyesight has actually recovered a long time ago, right?"
Shirley asked sharply.
the man's expression paused slightly, and his deep eyes were still dull without focus, and he said
lightly, "Of course not. I want my eyesight to recover."
"You..."
The man's pitiful look instantly made Shirley feel sorry. She carefully waved her hand in front of him.
"Can't you see?"
"I don't need and I'm not interested in playing this boring pretending to be blind game with you."
The man's tone was cold, and his handsome face showed his sadness.
"I'm sorry. It's because you're so powerful that I have to suspect that I... I am so sorry!"
Shirley couldn't help but want to slap herself.
Braden was such a strong-willed man. He was already disheartened because he was blind for her.
What's more, he was misunderstood to pretend being blind... This was undoubtedly a repeated
trampling on his wound. How cruel she was!
Braden remained expressionless. He looked straight ahead and asked coldly, "So, do you want to
continue the bet?"
Shirley bit her lip and felt uncomfortable. "If you want to continue, continue."
"Then please move aside."
Braden turned his head away. It seemed that he was determined to walk to the start.
Shirley lowered her head helplessly and went around behind the man again.
Both of them were stubborn enough to be almost obstinate, so neither of them was willing to stop.

However, in the end, Braden safely returned to the start of Dargon Valley with his own strength.
At the same time, they ran into a large group of people who came to rescue, and the crowd also had an
incredulous expression.
"Mr. Stewart, Ms. Wilson, are you... are you okay?"
"Oh my God, how is that possible? We're professional forest rangers, and we all have to team up, and
we're even equipped with shotguns. How did you do that?"
"Well, this... the situation is a bit complicated."
Shirley was a little embarrassed by the bombardment of questions from the crowd.
She had no idea how Braden did it, but she was also waiting for him to explain himself.
"You lost."
Ignoring her, Braden stopped in his tracks and walked toward Shirley.
"Yeah, I lost.’
Shirley smiled embarrassedly. "I'm willing to admit defeat and fulfill your request."
Since he wanted to return to Alina's side, this wouldn't be his last escape. This time, he was lucky
enough to survive. Would he still have such good luck next time?
She didn't want to take any more risks. She didn't want to change from saving him to hurting him.
"Captain, please send someone to deliver him to Alina."
Shirley thought it through at once and asked the security captain directly.
"Well... Didn't Mr. Stewart just move in yesterday? Why are you leaving now? The MTW Center is the
world's top nursing home. There is no place more
suitable for Mr. Stewart to recuperate.’
The head of the security team couldn't understand.
"Maybe, no matter how good the nursing home is, it is better to stay with the person he loves. It is more
conducive to recovery. I will help him."
Shirley said such words like she was chewing broken glass. Only she knew how heartbroken she was.
"Okay, I'll arrange the car right away."
The head of the security team saw Shirley's sadness and showed sympathy.
At that moment, Braden, who had been silent the whole time, frowned. ’I want to leave?"
