Lyle’s eyes widened in disbelief as it was the first time Crystal showed her true colors in front of him.
Meanwhile, Christopher refused to drink and said, “Eve, you need to save it for yourself!”
In an attempt to force him into submission, I had a mouthful of water and leaned over to force the water into his mouth. Afraid of wasting the liquid, the man had no choice but to swallow it when he felt it gushing down his chin. After a few mouthfuls, he announced, “You need to stop, Eve!”
“Shut up and preserve your energy as much as possible!” I got another dampened cloth to clean his wound. After much hesitation, I walked in Lyle’s direction and shared some of our limited water with him.
‘Y-Yvonne—” Lyle gulped down the mouthful of water, his eyes glued to me with an odd expression.
I must have lost my mind for showing others mercy in times of emergencies. However, I just couldn’t stand watching someone passing on in front of me. “This is the last time I’m doing you a favor. You’re on your own from now onwards.”
When I brought myself away, a chubby-looking woman rushed over to Christopher’s side and snatched the bottle of water away from him. I immediately dashed after the fleeing woman and yelled, “Hand it back to me!”
“It now belongs to me since I have gotten my hands on it! You’re the one who needs to stay away from me!” She knew I wasn’t a match for her in terms of strength after being dehydrated for such a long time. I couldn’t even withstand a push of hers and ended up falling.
Unwilling to set her free, I pounced on her and begged her to be merciful. “Please return the bottle of water to me! My husband needs it for his wound! Otherwise, he’s going to die due to infection!”
“Since he’s going to die, it’s time for him to the livings a favor! Get out of my way immediately!” The woman launched a kick in my direction. I was exhausted to the extent I could no longer shriek. Nonetheless, I refused to let go of the bottle of water and tried to snatch it back from her.
