Chapter 86

“Security, no, bodyguard!” Jeremy nearly jumped out of his skin, yelling at the nearest servant.

Before they could react, he pointed frantically at Yvonne’s tiny hand, his voice shaking, “Quick, throw that thing away!

“Huh?” Yvonne blinked, looking down at the ‘flower vine she was holding. It was hurt, barely moving, Just tossing it aside didn’t feel right. She hesitated.

“But it’s injured, she mumbled.

Jeremy, on the other hand, was dealing with his own kind of injury; emotional trauma.

Seeing how pale he looked, Yvonne took a step closer, worried. “Are you okay?”

Jeremy’s eyes widened in horror. “Don’t come any closer!”

She froze, startled. His reaction made her feel a little sad.

Then, in a voice that wobbled between panic and desperation, he finally blurted out, “Yvonne, that’s not a flower vine, it’s a snake! A venomous snake!*

She stared at him with big, curious eyes, then glanced back at the creature in her hands. Her voice was soft and innocent. “What’s a venomous snake?”

For a brief moment, Jeremy had the ridiculous feeling that maybe he was the one overreacting.

One bite from this thing, and he would be knocking on death’s door. This was no joke.
