Chapter 42
“Didn’t I
tell you to come over, woman?*
I don’t think now is the time to say that,” said Alita. She was worried sick. She grabbed Jaydon’s arm and wrapped it around her shoulders as she tried to walk forward. “Be careful. Can you walk?”
Jaydon dragged his leg awkwardly. ‘Can you carry me if I said no?”
“You’re probably too heavy for me, but I’ll try.” Alita wasn’t joking around at all. She really would give it a try.
Jaydon was slightly taken aback by Alita’s answer. He lowered his head to look at her. He had to admit, he was quite touched.
However, the next second, he felt an excruciating pain that caused him to be unable to think of anything else. His strength was quickly sucked out of him and it became harder and harder for her to support him.
Alita used all her strength to help Jaydon into the house. The wound on her chest that had been recovering was cracked open once again. A patch of red appeared on her pajamas.
“Jaydon! Jaydon! How are you feeling?” Alita squatted down beside Jaydon and looked at the place where the snake had bitten him. The bite mark was on the outside of his right leg and just above his knee.
“Call the ambulance,” Jaydon leaned against the sofa and said weakly. He was in pain and his lips were turning purple.
“We’re on an island, how the hell is the ambulance going to get to us?” Alita wondered if the poison was affecting Jaydon’s brain.
Her words caused Jaydon to come back to his senses a little. He frowned and punched the sofa. “Dam*n you, old man.”
Alita took a deep breath. She needed to remain calm and not panic. The first thing she needed to do was to check Jaydon’s wound.
Lifting his leg up, Alita picked up a knife from the table and cut open Jaydon’s pants until she could see the bite mark on his right leg. Blood was oozing out of the wound and there was a swelling where the bite mark was.
From the looks of things, Alita knew it was the snake toxin that was causing all of this.
“What should I do?” Alita swallowed. Her mind was a mess. She tried to recall how people treated such wounds on TV. She would need to tie something around the wound to slow down the blood flow and then suck the venom out. This should buy her some time.
After making up her mind, Alita ripped off a piece of her pajamas and tied it above the bite mark.
“Ouch, it hurts.” Jaydon opened his eyes. The pain caused him to break into a cold sweat.
“Come on, big guy, can’t stand a little pain?” Alita tied the piece of her pajamas above the bite mark as tight as possible with a serious face. She knew she was doing this for his own good. This would slow down the blood flow around the wound.
Jaydon gritted his teeth and thought, ‘Oh my god, it’s embarrassing. I can’t believe just let her make fun of me. Alita, you really are an interesting woman.
Just when Jaydon’s eyes were shutting uncontrollably, he suddenly felt something warm and soft on his leg.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Alita’s head buried where his wound was. His heart skipped a beat and immediately realized what she was doing.
“Are you crazy? You’ll be poisoned as well,” Jaydon said angrily and tried to push her away.

Alita fell on the ground, but climbed back up. Tm not crazy. This is the only way and we don’t have much time.”

She had a determined expression on her face, just like the courage she would show every time she encountered a setback. Such an expression actually calmed Jaydon down.
Alita lowered her head and continued to suck the venom out of Jaydon’s leg.
“Don’t.” Jaydon pushed her away once again and scolded angrily Alita, don’t pretend to be good to me. I won’t show you any gratitude even if you die trying to save me. So, don’t be stupid.”
He didn’t want her to be poisoned as well.
Alita’s bright eyes darkened a little. “I know, so you don’t need to be grateful. She leaned in determinedly again. It’s normal for a person to be a fool at least once in their lifetimes.
