Chapter 308
Alas, Mackenzie blacked out just as she hit the roof.
“Mackenzie!”
Because it was too dark, Emmanuel failed to notice her complexion and only
ran up to catch her when she collapsed.
Meanwhile, Claudette felt a pang of jealousy when she caught Emmanuel’s
concern and care for Mackenzie. He was obviously more worried now
compared to when she was bitten by a poisonous snake before.
“Mackenzie, pull yourself together!” Emmanuel quickly checked Mackenzie’s
pulse. He was sweating profusely out of worry.
“Don’t worry too much, Emmanuel. Ms. Quillen is very strong.” Claudette
hurriedly wiped Emmanuel’s sweat away despite feeling even more jealous
when she sensed his unusual state.
Emmanuel couldn’t bother responding to Claudette at this point, for he
realized Mackenzie had been poisoned.
“That assassin’s blade was coated with poison!” Emmanuel gritted his teeth. If
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtonly he hadn’t let that guy go earlier!
The next moment, Emmanuel pressed several acupoints on Mackenzie’s
body and began to desperately extract the poison from the wound on her
neck by sucking out the venomous blood.
However, the spot was too sensitive, and with excessive bleeding,
Mackenzie’s life was in danger as well.
“Dr. Lowe, w–what happened to Ms. Quillen?” Claudette also realized the
seriousness of the situation. Her fair and beautiful face appeared pale in the
dim moonlight.
“Don’t ask for now!” Emmanuel was deeply focused on saving Mackenzie, and
his blunt words unintentionally upset Claudette.
However, she didn’t get angry because of it. Instead, she ran to the riverside,
tore her shirt, and used the waterproof fabric to fetch water for Emmanuel.
“Thank you!”
Claudette had truly helped Emmanuel. It was easier to clean the venomous
blood with clear water. However, the process of collecting water was too
slow. After the clean water was used up, Emmanuel picked Mackenzie up and
rushed to the riverside.
Fortunately, Emmanuel had exceptional medical skills and had accumulated
numerous experiences in wilderness survival and first aid during his time in
the Northern Region. After some struggle, he managed to remove most of
the toxins from Mackenzie’s body.
Mixed emotions surged within Claudette as she watched Emmanuel save
Mackenzie.
First of all, she enjoyed seeing Emmanuel’s focused demeanor as a doctor.
His posture was incredibly captivating, reminiscent of the most romantic
moments she had experienced.
However, it was a pity that this time he was saving Mackenzie instead of her.
Moreover, he was visibly more anxious than when he had saved her!
The sound of clothes tearing brought Claudette back to reality.
Because Mackenzie hadn’t planned on coming in the first place, her outfit
wasn’t the most outdoorsy. Seeing that she was starting to have difficulty
breathing, Emmanuel tore her shirt open at once.
Little did Claudette expect Mackenzie, who usually never wore revealing
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmclothes and gave the impression of not being sexy, would have a better
figure than she had imagined.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her a born siren.
Even though Claudette had never considered herself any lesser than a
bombshell and Laura always complimented her figure, she couldn’t help
feeling inferior to Mackenzie after seeing the latter’s figure.
The young woman could even give the Victoria’s Secret Angels a run for their
money!
Is this how Dr. Lowe fell for her?
Of course, Emmanuel was too occupied to contemplate Claudette’s
thoughts. In fact, he even forgot she was still there for a moment.
He began freaking out when he noticed Mackenzie’s breathing had become
weaker due to excessive blood loss. “Don’t die, Mackenzie!”
At that, he performed artificial respiration for Mackenzie. He couldn’t care
about anything else anymore.
“You…” Claudette was shattered.
How she wished the person on the verge of death right then was her and not
Mackenzie!
Yet, Emmanuel was no longer simply a doctor but also Mackenzie’s legally
wedded husband. It was more than justifiable for him to perform artificial
respiration for his wife.
