Toby’s pupils shrank, and his hands on Tina tightened.

Stroking his chin, Zane said, “The blood isn’t turning black, so it doesn’t look like it was a poisonous snake, but we can’t be sure about that. Toby, you’d better take her down the mountain and get a serum shot from a doctor.”

Without a second word, Toby quickly rushed to where the cable cars were with Tina in his arms. After watching the cable car disappear into the cloud and mist, Sonia and the rest found a spot to sit while waiting for the cable car to return.

“Darling, just how did you guys encounter the snake?” Charles asked as he handed a bottle of water to her.

Taking the bottled water from him, Sonia then held it absentmindedly in her hands, but she didn’t open it. “I don’t know either,” she answered while shaking her head.

The appearance of the snake was beyond her expectation, and before Tina was bitten, she had no idea what was going on at all.

Rebecca raised her hand and said, “Let me explain this.” Everyone turned to her, so she began, “It’s like this. I wanted to wash my face at the creek as well, then I saw a snake hanging on a tree branch behind President Reed. Initially, it seemed like the snake wasn’t planning to attack anyone, but Tina startled the snake by suddenly standing up and shouting at President Reed. That’s why it lunged at President Reed.”

“So you mean that the snake wanted to bite Sonia at first?” Tyler asked, his mouth hanging open in shock.

Rebecca nodded. “Yes, and I was the one who shouted at President Reed to get down, which was why the snake ended up landing on Tina, who was opposite her, and bit her instead.”

“This is so dramatic,” Zane commented with a chuckle.

Only then did Sonia understand everything that had happened. Taking Rebecca’s hand, she then said in gratitude, “Thank you so much, Rebecca.”

If it weren’t for Rebecca, who asked her to get down suddenly, perhaps the one getting bitten would have been her.

“You’re welcome, but it’s all because of your unwavering trust in me. Or else, it would have been useless even if I shouted at you,” Rebecca said, smiling.

“I really didn’t expect this mountain to have snakes, and I was so lucky to run into one,” Sonia said with a laugh.

Although she had calmed down now, the thought of the snake still made her shudder in fear.

Lacing his fingers behind his head, Charles said, “Well, we can only blame that woman. If she hadn’t stood up so suddenly and startled the snake, it wouldn’t have attacked Sonia. But luckily she was the one who got bitten in the end, so I feel much better.”
