Chapter 534 Cayden Is Back

At that crucial moment, Avery managed to react on time by running up to higher ground despite her legs turning to jelly, causing the snake to lose sight of her for a second.

With that, she narrowly escaped a lethal attack.

How did something so dangerous get inside here?

Avery's legs were weak, and her stomach was in great pain. She simply didn't have the strength to continue running.

There were stairs in front of the mansion, and although every step she took felt especially draining, she could only steel herself and keep going.

The venomous snakes began to catch up. Just as the biggest one was about to strike, James returned from the same path he had left on and yelled in fright, “Mrs. Moore!”

Then, he spotted a wooden shovel nearby—the one Zachary and Rory normally used for gardening. Spurred by a sudden burst of courage, he picked up the tool and struck the snake in the head.

In spite of the light weight of the shovel, James used so much force that the snake took a heavy blow, further aggravating it and causing it to slither toward him even more quickly with a hiss.

No longer caring about the difference in hierarchy between Avery and himself, he carried the pregnant woman and dashed toward the building.

The entrance was in sight, and James kicked the door to the bedroom open before putting Avery down.

Just as he was about to close the door, he felt a sharp pain in his leg. Bearing it, the man mustered the last of his strength to slam the door shut, making sure every snake remained outside.

“L-Lock the door, Mrs. Moore. Don't... Don't go outside...” Suddenly, James felt his head spin as his body twitched, and he collapsed to the floor with a loud thud.

On the verge of tears, Avery knelt down and called out his name relentlessly, “James!”
