chapter 1748
Chloe patted the snakes' head. She sat by the cave and looked down at the snake closest to her. She felt troubled as she mumbled, "How will I get a breakthrough on Uncle Anthony's illness?
"If I need to treat him, I'll need the Lotus Palm. However, the Lotus Palm contains HOR. This might trigger him and cause more severe side effects. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"Mi, what other medications can replace Lotus Palm?"
The snake named Mi merely licked her arm and stared at her intently.
Chloe looked at the snakes and sighed helplessly. "I don’t get it. How shall I treat Uncle Anthony’s illness? I'm not making any progress now, and I don’t know what to do.
"I want to treat Uncle Anthony and ensure that he and Auntie Charmine can live happily ever after."
Chloe sat by the cave and talked to herself for a while. She poured her heart out before saying goodbye to the snakes. She closed the cage and turned to leave.
That night.
Anthony’s wound was relieved, and the burn was slowly recovering.
However, his wound worsened as he might have come into contact with something that night. The pain felt like it burned his heart, and he just could not sleep.
When Anthony saw that Charmine was deeply asleep by his side, he carefully retrieved his arm and gently got out of bed.
Thinking it was the temperature that worsened his wound, he turned down the temperature by a notch.
After the temperature had come down, he felt more comfortable. He went back to bed and continued sleeping, pulling up the blanket over Charmine.
However, a moment later, when he was half asleep, he felt his entire body burning.
His head hurt, and everything felt like a blur to him, causing him to be unable to tell dream from reality.
Anthony wanted to open his eyes, but he did not have the strength to.
He kept his eyes shut and brows pressed into a tight line, with his brows furrowed. His handsome face was covered in cold sweat, and his entire body was taut.
Out of the blue, he felt something snaking past his arms- something slimy.
Instantly...
"Argh!"
As if two sharp needles had gone into his arm, Anthony jolted in immense pain, yelping out of reflex.
His cry of pain jolted Charmine awake, and she then noticed Anthony's high temperature.
It felt like a volcano; she felt the heat before even touching him.
"Anthony, what happened?" Charmine instantly went out of the bed to turn on the lights.
She suddenly saw a green cobra slip past her feet quickly.
Alarmed, she instinctively reached out with her skinny arm and grabbed onto the snake's head.
Thump!
She smacked it hard against the floor until the cobra stopped moving. She then tossed it out of the window.
When Anthony heard what was happening, he gradually opened his eyes. His head still spun as he managed to see the wound on his arm right away.
Charmine returned to their bed and noticed two bloodied puncture holes on his tanned arm, inflicted by the cobra's fangs.
"You were bitten by a cobra?" asked Charmine, frowning.
"Probably," replied Anthony.
Charmine instantly took out her needles to stop the poison from spreading.
However, when she looked at the wound on his arm, she suddenly noticed that his painfully-about-to- explode head
seemed to be in a better state.
Even the burning pain on his arm was somehow fading away.
Furthermore, his burning high body temperature slowly receded.
Anthony stared at his wound in disbelief.
The sudden change in his body made him suspicious that this all happened after he was bitten by the cobra.
He looked up at Charmine to stop her from pricking his skin with the needles. "Charmine, touch me," he said.
Charmine was speechless.
This was an emergency, yet he asked her to touch him?
In her bewilderment, Anthony grabbed her hand and brought it to his body.
Before Charmine could react, she noted in shock that his temperature had stabilized.
His temperature was still burning to touch a second ago! Meeting her suspicious eyes, Anthony then gave his theory.
