She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87: More Experienced

Layne skillfully held the venomous snake while his other hand was searching for a small knife.

Iker exchanged a glance and soon someone handed him a knife. Layne took the knife without hesitation and swiftly slashed towards the belly of the snake.

The red snake coiled tightly around his arm, using all its strength, causing wrinkles to appear on his skin.

However, Layne's action was swift and precise. He skillfully opened the snake's belly. Its blood splattered onto his hand and splashed onto the ground as if there were flowers blooming.

The old man inserted two fingers into the snake's belly and dug around. He extracted an oval-shaped deep red snake gall about the size of a thumb.

Blood smudged his hand, creating a gruesome and repulsive sight.

The true value of this snake lay in its venomous fangs and this snake gall. The rest of its body was relatively unimportant.

With the snake gall removed, the lifeless snake's body continued to tremble faintly. Its triangular head hung limply in the air, far from its former imposing demeanor.

Davon's large hand clenched into a fist under his suit's long sleeve as he looked at his beloved with pain and regret in his heart.

Layne uncoiled the snake and tossed it back into the glass box, laughing as he turned to Kai. "Snake gall is a good thing," he said.

The dead snake lay in the box, its blood mixing with its body color so that you couldn't tell them apart without getting closer.

Master Lewis was just over a year old and still a child. At first sight of this terrifying thing, he cried out and burst into tears.

He reached out to grab his father's leg while crying and hiding for comfort.

"Daddy, Daddy... there's a snake! It's so scary! Boohoo..."

Kai loved this little one most dearly and immediately picked him up to console him in his arms. "It's okay now; don't cry anymore. You're Master Lewis of the Todd family; how can you be so timid?"

Thalia stood by watching the harmony between father and son, feeling unbalanced inside her heart.

Back when she gave birth to Davon, Kai was on mission abroad for more than two years. By the time he returned home, their child had grown up; besides, at that time, he already had a son Iker, so there wasn't much joy from Kai shown towards Davon's birth.

Now he already had both sons and daughters, but was still so protecting this little brat. Thalia knew it was because Erica gave birth to him.

"Tanner, take this thing outside and bury it somewhere."

"Yes."

Tanner heard Master Iker's order, then quickly came over holding onto the glass box with both hands.
