Chapter 291 Wilderness Rescues

Milly couldn’t move fast enough, and the massive stone smacked right into her hand, sending a shock of sharp pain that nearly knocked her out. Tears sprang to her eyes from the intensity of the pain.

Glancing over, Milly was relieved to see the small snake unharmed on the side.

At least it missed the snake.

“Damn, that’s painful.”

Stephanie caught the look of agony on Milly’s face and narrowed her eyes before asking. “Did you break your leg or something?”

Milly, too overcome by her pain, barely registered her.

Stephanie said, “You were all about waiting quietly in the woods for help. You did that on purpose, right? You knew your leg was busted, and you couldn’t make it out yourself, so you wanted to trap someone else with you!”

“Milly, that’s cold. It’s practically the same as murder!”

Stephanie glared at Milly intently as if she were delivering some grand moral judgment.
