Matthew looked up when he heard Eleanor's shriek, and he immediately saw the green snake on the ground.
"Ouch…"
Eleanor was clutching her right hand with her left. Her brows were scrunched up in pain. "A knife! Give me a knife! The snake bit me."
The green snake struggled on the ground for a bit before slithering away into the bushes.
It was a snake with a triangular-shaped head, and the brighter its color was, the more poisonous it was.
Matthew tensed up. He jumped to his feet and brought a blade over to Eleanor. "It's a venomous snake. Do you have an antidote?"
"That's a septella snake, the most venomous kind in the hidden clan. It…"
She bit her lip and didn't continue speaking. Instead, she sucked out a few mouthfuls of blood from her wrist and spat all of it out on the ground.
Matthew swiftly filled a bottle with water. "Rinse your mouth. Don't do that to get the blood out. It's too slow!"
Eleanor hesitated for a moment. She looked at him with a complicated gaze before slowly taking a gulp of the water and rinsing her mouth.
Matthew eyed the bite mark on her wrist with a frown. "Why did you want to save me?"
While speaking, he dragged her over to a rock before crouching next to her with a blade in hand. "It's going to hurt, so bear with it."
Eleanor gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. "Go ahead."
She began formulating the plan when she saw the snake this morning.
Initially, she figured she wouldn't have to take such a risk as long as she managed to make Matthew's heart stir even the slightest bit for her.
Unfortunately for her, the man was loyal to Veronica, and no matter how she flirted with him, he didn't budge at all.
Eleanor had no choice but to resort to this crude trickery.
She'd gone all out just to get his attention.
