Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

A snake shot out of the box! Its body was striped with alternating bands of white and black, its tail slender and pointed, unmistakably a venomous serpent! Roseanne's instincts kicked in, and she dropped the box instantly. But the snake had launched into the air, baring its fangs as it lunged at her.

The host nearby had turned as white as a sheet, clutching the microphone and screaming at the top of her lungs.

Chaos erupted on the spot. Everyone backed away, trying to distance themselves from the danger.

But Roseanne didn't have that luxury and could only watch in horror as the snake flicked its tongue, aiming for her wrist.

Just then, two figures leaped into action almost simultaneously. Being closer and quicker, Murray yanked Roseanne away before Corley could reach her.

But in doing so, he left his neck exposed to the serpent.

"Watch out!"

"Be careful!"

Roseanne and Millie both shouted out together.

The former was safely in Murray's arms, while the latter charged forward, using her body to shield Murray. Thus, the snake's bite landed squarely on Millie's calf. "Ah!" Millie winced in pain and slumped to the ground.
