Chapter 206
Shock flashed across Calvert’s eyes. He immediately threw away what he was holding and reached out to catch her.
Ash was barely conscious, and she felt dizzy.
He looked her up and down and noticed two small holes on her ankle. He frowned, held her in his arms, and crouched down to check her condition. Sure enough, she had been bitten by a snake at some point.
Calvert took out some gauze and a disinfectant cotton swab from his bag. First, he wrapped the gauze tightly above her inkle, then used his fingertips to remove the venom from the bite as much as possible, and finally used the disinfectant
otton swab to gently wipe the wound.
udging from the change in the color of the wound, it was estimated that she had been bitten for a while. It was very likely hat when the snake was shot, the two did not notice that there was another snake on the side.
Ash’s face was slightly pale, and sweat was forming on her forehead. The worry in Calvert’s eyes was visible.
When Ash woke up again, she was lying on Calvert’s back.
At that moment, she only felt weak all over, and there was a tingling sensation in her ankle. Even her voice was weak. “What’s wrong with me?”
Calvert tilted his head slightly but didn’t stop walking. His every step was steady. “You were bitten by a snake, but it’s >robably not that poisonous. We will be out of here soon.”
Snake?” Ash’s lips were slightly dry. She frowned and glanced down. The wound on her ankle had been treated and even covered with a layer of medicinal herbs.
What medicinal herb did you apply on this foot?”
‘Lobelia.”
Ash smiled faintly when she heard that. “It’s amazing that you know this medicinal herb. I’ve truly underestimated you. I suppose I’m fine now. Why don’t you put me down?”
He had no intention of putting her down. His voice was cold. “If I let you come down and walk by yourself, how long do you plan to walk? It will take another five or six minutes. Don’t try to act tough.”
Indeed, Calvert was right.
Ash just tried to lift her foot and found that it was indeed a bit difficult. After all, she was bitten by a poisonous snake. Although Lobelia was useful, it could only relieve the pain and slow down the spread of the poison as much as possible.
Calvert’s prediction was accurate, When they arrived at the lounge at the starting point, it was already raining lightly Brooke stood up instantly when she saw Calvert and Ash coming in. “What happened to Ash?”
“She was bitten by a snake, Calvert said very calmly.
In an instant, Brooke and Caspian, who were talking and laughing with Jade, who had arrived late, got up and walked over with somber expressions.
Ash lightly hit Calvert’s arm. “Don’t make it sound so serious. It’s not a big deal. You scared them?
“How did she get bitten by a snake?” Brooke’s face turned pale “Where’s the doctor? Hurry up and call the doctor

Caspian, who had always been at odds with Ash, also frowned. “I’m going to get the doctor now. Take Ash to the lounge and
wait.”
Jade looked at the scene in front of her and felt a surge of strange emotion. Now, Ash had truly become the darling of the Turner family, and even Caspian cared about Ash.
Jade suppressed her emotions and pretended to be anxious and worried. She followed and asked with concern, “Ash, are you alright?”
What do you think? I’m in this state now. Do I look like I’m fine?” Ash didn’t know how Jade could ask such a moronic question.
ade looked slightly embarrassed. “No…”
Brooke glanced at Jade, then patted Calvert’s arm. “Calvert, take Ash to the lounge.”
in the lounge.
After the doctor gave the injection, he stood up and explained, “I’ve administered the antivenom. It’s best to rest for a few hours. Don’t get wet today and tomorrow.”
Brooke heaved a sigh of relief. “Is Ash okay? There won’t be any sequelae, right? Are you sure this will help?”
Yes, I’m sure, Mrs. Turner. Don’t worry; your daughter applied Lobelia in time, and the toxin did not spread further. It’s a mall snake, and its venom isn’t very potent. Fainting is a normal reaction to it.”
The doctor added, “Mrs. Turner, don’t worry too much. She just needs some rest.”
Ash was a little more energetic now. “It’s alright, I’m much better now. Mom,,it’s a small snake, and its venom isn’t very trong. I’d been careless.”
It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let you participate. You haven’t participated in such an event before.” Brooke was very distressed. “But why didn’t you fire the flare gun?”
Speaking of that, Ash couldn’t help but look at Calvert. This was Calvert’s fault, but to some extent, she had herself to blame for being careless.
Calvert slowly explained, “The flare gun got damp, so the signal couldn’t be sent out. Mrs. Turner, it was my negligence.”
Brooke had no intention of blaming Calvert at all and waved her hand. “Of course, I don’t blame you. If it weren’t for you, Ash might have fainted in the grass right now.”
Ash was speechless. That was such an exaggeration.
If it weren’t for Calvert, she wouldn’t have thrown that bag away, and maybe she wouldn’t have encountered a snake.
But she admitted that she was still satisfied with Calvert’s approach today, including the treatment of her wound and the way he took care of her.
“Mrs. Turner, there’s something in the bag. Please follow me.”
