Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 133

The next morning, Ivy wanted to go to the pool and swim. Listening to her plea, everyone joined.

In the clean water, the blue sky was glistening. The fish swam around freely.

Zac and William were as agile and nimble as a fish hawk.

Essie, who didn't know to swim, stayed away from water. Since she didn't have much to do, she preoccupied herself with the task of roasting the fish which Zac and William had caught earlier.

Not far away, there was a dark shadow hiding in the jungle. This tall man had his eyes glued on Essie. He had been hiding at the top of the mountain for the whole night. But since Zac was always around Essie, he couldn't complete his task. Today, everyone else was swimming and he would cling onto this opportunity to kill Essie.

'The time has finally come!' he thought with a sigh of relief.

He put down the black bag in his hand and carefully opened the tape. A hungry viper crawled out of it and slowly went towards the pool.

Essie had already roasted three fishes. She waved to the four people in the water and said, "Beautiful ladies, handsome guys, come back here and try some yummy fish!"

She was oblivious to the danger that was approaching her. In an instant, Zac spotted something crawling behind her. On focusing, he realized it was a snake with a silver circle. It had the pattern of black and white. He realized it was one of the most venomous snakes in the world. The impact of its bite would be deadly.

Struck by fear, he shouted, "Essie, there is a snake. Don't move! Stay right there." Without wasting any time, he swam to the shore. Hearing his shout, William, Ivy and Daisy followed him hastily.

Essie, who was far away from them, didn't catch his words. Wanting him to repeat the words, she moved two steps forward. However, the silver snake sprang to its feet and bit her ankle.

As soon as she felt the sharp pain on her ankle, she fell on the ground. When she saw the two teeth marks on her ankle, she realized that she was bitten by a snake.

Zac swam ashore and sprinted to her quickly. "Sit still. Don't move." He tore his T-shirt, bound her calves and controlled the venom from spreading. William who was rattled by the scene, took out his cellphone. He dialed the medical team and asked them to bring the antidote of the silver viper with them. Quickly, he filled them in with the address and urged them to come fast.

Zac couldn't act rationally. Silver snakes were highly toxic. If the medical team wouldn't arrive within half an hour, she would be paralyzed and may end up losing her life. He couldn't let that happen at any cost.

He lowered his head desperately and began to suck the poison blood from her wound.

"No, Zac. It's not good for your health. You'll be poisoned, too," Daisy cried in fear.

"Yeah, let's wait for the medical team." Ivy was trembling with fear.

William squatted down and said, "Boss, let me do it."

Zac spat out a mouthful of black poison blood. "She is my woman, I will do it!" His tone was that of an arrogant man who was determined to save his lover. He swore that he would protect his woman. If he had to give up his life for her, he would be more than willing to do so.

Hearing this, Essie was so shocked. She nearly forgot about the pain on her ankle. She exerted all her strength to push him away and said, "Don't suck anymore. If you are also poisoned, who will take care of me?"

Zac spat out a mouthful of black blood again. "Don't be afraid. If I suck out all the venom, you will be fine."

Tears welled up in Essie's eyes.

Why would he risk his life for her? She couldn't find an answer to this question.

Even without her, there would be millions of women who would help him stop the wedding.

He was the noble prince, the king who had a position. She was just a drop in the ocean. Risking his life for her wasn't worth it.

She couldn't figure it out. His worry looked genuine.

After what felt like hours, the blood that was spat out of his mouth turned bright red. He sighed slightly and said, "Her life shouldn't be in danger." His mouth had started to swell up.

In fact, at the sight of his face, Ivy's and Daisy's faces turned pale. He seemed more sick than Essie.

Knowing that he couldn't stop him, William rang the medical team again, asking them to hurry up. To make their task easier, William kept adding wood to the bonfire. It would tell them where exactly they were located.

The helicopter finally arrived.

Medical staff injected the antidote on both of them and carried them to the hospital immediately.

Lying on Zac's arms, Essie was both laughing and crying. "Mister handsome, your mouth is swollen. Presently, you look hideous."

He held her hand and kept it close to his face. "I'm afraid it's going to be disfigured. No woman will want to be with me. Since this is all your fault, you will have to love me."
