"I don't mind if you die, but we're on the same team right now, and I won't be able to leave this mountain if you die!"
From the moment Matthew was put on the same team as Eleanor, not only did he have to lug around additional deadweight, but he even had the added responsibility of protecting her.
He didn't know whether it was a wily setup on Tanya's part because she had found out who he was, or it had been Eleanor's decision instead.
Either way, Eleanor couldn't die here!
Eleanor leaned against his shoulder. Although the pain was torturous, all she could think about was Matthew.
She'd craved to be this close to him for so long now.
She soaked her hand in the water and dyed a patch of her hand red.
The red water that meandered down the stream was particularly eye-catching in the sun.
"Master, tell me. Am I… going to die here?"
Her mind was getting a little hazy, though she didn't know whether it was from her blood loss or the venom had been simply too powerful.
She felt so dizzy that she cuddled up against Matthew.
Matthew nearly shoved her away at once, but after recalling the fact that she had saved him, he managed to resist.
He sat down on a rock while Eleanor remained pressed up against his chest. Her hand was still soaking in the stream.
She opened her eyes and stared at the face near hers. Her heart was pounding, and a smile crept onto her face.
"I hear Veronica… calling you… Matt. Can I… do that too?"
Envy.
The woman who'd gotten everything she wanted her whole life was filled with envy over another woman.
