Jolene covered her mouth tightly with her hands as she could not believe her eyes.
She was the culprit who released the venomous snake.
2S
It was no doubt she saw the snake sliding toward Sophia. If that woman didn’t catch that snake in time,
it would have attacked Ms. Sophia. Even at such a critical moment, that woman could catch the snake
with her bare hands. Her decisiveness seems something innate to her. Isn’t she the homewrecker who
ruined Mr. Bowers And Ms. Yara’s relationship? But she didn’t hesitate a wee bit when she protected
Ms. Sophia just now. It seems like she wasn’t even afraid of the drastic consequences that might
happen to herself. But Ms. Yara is Ms. Sophia and Mr. Franklin’s biological mother. The one who could
do that without hesitation should’ve been Ms. Yara instead of that woman!
Whatever had just happened was the exact opposite of Jolene’s prediction.
Knowing that she must not stay there any longer, Jolene scuffled away with the wooden basket in her

Concurrently, the wound on Natalie’s hand had begun to turn dark purple.
Seeing that the wound was seeping black-colored blood, beads of tears rolled down Sophia’s face
rapidly. “Mommy, it’s all my fault. You’re hurt while trying to save me!”
Like any other five-year-old, Sophia was mature enough to understand the meaning of death.
Even so, she did not dare to mention anything about death as she was afraid she would jinx the
situation.
“What s-should I do to m-make you feel b-better?” Sophia choked on her words as she was bawling her
eyes out.
Even though Natalie felt so cold that her whole body was shaking, she still tried to bring her trembling
hand to pat Sophia’s cheek upon hearing her cries.
“It’s just snake’s venom.” Natalie pulled a weak smile on her face. “Don’t worry. N-Nothing will happen
to me…”
A brief moment later, Franklin finally returned with Samuel.
Before his eyes was his woman leaning against the tree trunk, her lips drained of color, and dark
colored blood seeping out from a wound at the back of her hand.
Just a moment ago, she looks fine and healthy. How did things become like this in such a short time?
“Daddy, Mommy tried to protect me…” Within a short time, Sophia’s eyes were bulging from the intense
crying, “She got bitten by the snake as a result.”
Samuel went up to Natalie and lifted her hand, ready to suck out the poisonous blood from her
wound.
But before Samuel’s lips touched her hand, Natalie shook her head vigorously. “Don’t do that.”
“Natalie Nichols.” Samuel frowned, his emotions visibly apparent on his face.
It was the first time Samuel called her so formally after they had acknowledged their feelings for each
other. As much as she was dead serious at rejecting Samuel for going ahead with his action, the man
was firm about his stand too.
“That won’t do you any good.” Tears began welling up around the rims of Natalie’s eyes. “Y-You… you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdon’t have to do that for me…”
“As long as it’ll save you, I will do it without hesitation.”
As soon as he said that, Natalie felt Samuel’s grip on her hand tighten.
At the very next second, his warm lips plopped right on her wound, and he began sucking with all his
might.
Samuel tried his best to suck the black-colored blood into his mouth before spitting it on the ground.
Of course, Natalie did try to break free from his grip.
But because she was made even weaker due to the snake’s venom, she could not muster any
strength.
Thus, her struggle and resistance were not significant to Samuel at all.
“Y-You’re so dumb…”
Natalie felt a tightness in her chest but had nowhere to vent it.
Why is he sacrificing his life to remove the venom? Did he forget that he’s the head of the Bowers
family and the father of Franklin and Sophia? So many people respect and look up to him and even
hope to get a glimpse of him. Samuel Bowers… how could you risk your life for me?
