Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 424

Josiah grabbed the viper's body by its heart with one hand and threw Conner off his back at the same time.

The viper sank its fangs into his arm.

"Hiss!" Josiah frowned and gritted his teeth. His face was ashen.

However, he didn't have time to think. Holding his breath, he raised his hand and swiftly slammed the viper to the ground. At the same time, he grabbed a rock and smashed it hard into the viper's heart position precisely.

The viper's tail twitched on the ground for a moment before falling still. It was dead.

"Ah..." Josiah released his grip. His knees buckled as he opened his mouth and gasped for air.

He then lifted his arm and pulled up his sleeve. His face instantly turned a few shades paler.

The wound was small and inconspicuous, and there were actually two wounds near his wrist.

He had been bitten twice.

'What about Conner?' Josiah wondered.

He wasn't sure when the viper had wrapped itself around Conner, nor was he sure if the latter had been bitten.

"Damn it!" Josiah's breathing gradually quickened. He walked up to Conner and carried him on his back again.

Josiah had to hurry.

He had been poisoned by the venom, so he could not hold on any longer but had

to meet up with the Evans family as soon as possible.

However, this time, Josiah clearly felt his strength failing him.

The moment Conner's weight fell on his back, he felt as if he was crushed by a mountain.

"Sienna, Joyce," Josiah muttered the two names, for only in this way could he hold on.

His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his teeth clenched.

Gradually, his breathing became rapid, and he couldn't help but gasp for air. Slowly, his vision blurred.

His limbs went weak and he could no longer exert any strength.

Cold sweat glistened on his forehead and rolled down his cheeks.

There seemed to be black shadows before his eyes when he almost blacked out.

He could not hold on any longer.

His heart seemed to stop beating.
