The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Are You Trying to Murder Your Own Husband?

Amanda instantly caught sight of the bite mark on his ankle as blood oozed out of the wound.

"You're injured! Was it a venomous snake?" She grew anxious upon seeing that. What if it was indeed a venomous snake? The hospital was quite far from their current location. It would be too late by the time they rushed there for help.

Elias couldn't help but feel a bit delighted when he saw her getting nervous. He even deliberately pretended to be in pain and replied, "It does seem like the bite of a venomous snake."

As soon as he spoke, her eyes widened in fear. "Really?! What should we do? We need to call an ambulance quickly! Wait, will they come here? What do we do now?"

Amanda was at a loss, unsure of what to do. Was Elias going to die? The thought of him dying made her burst into tears, and her hot, panicked tears fell onto his palm. He looked at her sobbing for him and felt a strange sense of pleasure, so he decided to prolong his enjoyment just a little longer.

"Maybe it's a cobra," he added, deliberately scaring her again.

"Cobra?" She became even more agitated upon hearing those words. Cobras were truly deadly! She needed to hurry and take him to the hospital to treat the wound!

"Quick, make a call for Yacob to pick you up! Cobras are deadly! We should hurry to the hospital!"

She grabbed Elias' hand and was about to leave, even forgetting that Baby was still sleeping inside the tent in her worry.

He held her wrist. "What about the child? He's still sleeping inside the tent."

"Oh, yes, how could I forget about Aiden? I'll wake him up now."

She was in a state of complete terror, and her mind was unable to think clearly. Her thoughts were consumed with the fear of what would happen if he died.

He couldn't bear to tease her any longer upon seeing her in such distress. So, he pulled her into his embrace and comforted her, "I lied to you. I'm fine. There's no need to panic."

Amanda cried even harder, but this time she didn't push him away; she knew he was physically hurt. Nonetheless, her tears were mixed with anger as she exclaimed, "What do you mean you're fine? That was a venomous snake! A cobra! It's deadly! What if you die? The hospital is so far away. Can you even make it to the hospital? Should I ask Howard to send a helicopter to pick you up?"

As she spoke, she reached for her phone, intending to call Howard.

Once again, Elias stopped her. "Amanda! Amanda! Calm down. I lied to you. It's not a venomous snake. There won't be any venomous snakes here. It's just an ordinary snake, and the wound isn't deep. It doesn't hurt. We can just clean and disinfect it casually."

"How do you know it's just an ordinary snake? It's dark, and we can't see clearly. What if it really was a venomous snake?" she questioned sharply.
