Love Unspoken

Chapter 1499

Landon glanced at her, shrugged, and pulled out his phone to check the time. Then he opened his memo app and started typing something.

"You got bit three minutes ago," Landon said. "Your blood's pumping faster now 'cause of all the running around. The poison's spreading quick. If you're lucky, you might make it to the hospital by dawn and save yourself." Abigail was stunned.

She looked around, seeing nothing but grass and mountains. It seemed too late to reach a hospital.

"Looks like I'm gonna die here," Abigail said.

"Yeah," Landon replied.

"Aren't you supposed to, like, encourage me or something?" Abigail protested.

"Not really my thing," Landon said, his face blank.

Abigail gritted her teeth. Maybe it was just in her head, but she felt her breathing get harder after hearing his words.

"Then do what they do on TV and suck the poison out for me," Abigail demanded.

Landon looked at her like she was an idiot.

Abigail blinked and sighed, "Forget it, I wouldn't dare trouble you with that."

"If you wanna die sooner, I can help with that," Landon said.

"What do you mean?" Abigail asked.

"I mean you should go back and read more books on basic knowledge," Landon retorted.

Abigail was furious, but before she could curse him, Landon said, "If you don't wanna die, stay calm. Getting angry will just speed up your blood circulation." Abigail held back her anger.

In all her years, only two men had bested her: one was Alexander, and the other was Landon.

With Alexander, she could still curse him out when she was mad.
