Chapter 79: Sucking out the Snake Venom for Him
Cheyenne stopped only when the blood she had sucked out turned a bright red color.
Her lips, stained red with blood, were extremely charming and complemented her fair complexion. She was so beautiful that it made people forget to breathe.
“Okay… that’s enough.”
Cheyenne wiped away the bloodstain from her lips and was about to turn around when she saw a group of people not far away.
Tanner pushed Iker to walk in front, and the latter’s face clearly showed a worried expression.
Especially when he saw a trace of blood on Cheyenne’s lips, his pupils constricted slightly.
“Are you injured?”
“Not a big deal, I just encountered a poisonous snake earlier…” Before she could finish saying, Iker had grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.
He took out a white handkerchief from the pocket of his suit and gently wiped the bloodstain from Cheyenne’s lips with surprising tenderness.
His gaze was deep and serious, as if he regarded her as the whole world.
Tanner stared in shock, his eyes widening as he watched Davon’s sudden action.
He had followed Iker for over a decade, and this was the first time he had seen such a gentle side of Iker.
Kelvin was equally surprised, holding his arm and watching the intimate actions between the two.
That damn woman didn’t know what “propriety” meant. She sat on the man’s lap in broad daylight.
Tanner clearly felt the air around him becoming tense and looked towards the source of the coldness.
Mr. Foley’s gaze was really scary!
“Th-thank you, Master Iker, but I can handle it myself,” Cheyenne finally realized that their position was too intimate.
As she stood up, her vision went black and her body uncontrollably fell backwards.
“Miss Lawrence!”
She heard two urgent voices before passing out. In her peripheral vision, she seemed to see a familiar face for a split second.
The concern in his eyes made her think she was hallucinating. How could he care about her when he hated her so much?
“Miss Lawrence!” Iker quickly reached out to catch Cheyenne as she slowly fell down but someone beat him to it.
Kelvin had reached out to hold Cheyenne’s slender waist and carried her in his arms while ordering Chris, “Quickly drive the car to the gate! We’re going to hospital!”
“Yes.”
Kai and three other ladies also rushed over, looking at Miss Lawrence who had fainted and Mr. Foley who had turned blue in shock.
“What happened… Mr. Foley?” Kelvin’s sharp gaze swept them around before settling on Davon.
“A poisonous snake just came out, it bit me and Miss Lawrence fainted after helping me suck out the venom.” His voice fell, causing all the women present to pale in fear as they huddled together.
“A snake… oh my god, could it be…” Davon hadn’t expected Cheyenne to be bitten by a snake when he had met her earlier in the pavilion.
“Davon! I told you before that you can keep pets but there has to be a limit. Don’t keep those terrifying things.”
“Even if you do keep them, you should at least keep them locked up!” Although these words were meant to scold Davon, there was not much sincerity in them.
Kelvin snorted; The Todd family really made him sick.
Davon immediately admitted his fault. “Yes, father, I understand now. I will ask my servants for how the snake slipped out.”
Although he did not release this snake himself, since he kept it as a pet, he needed to make an apology. “Mr. Foley, Miss Lawrence … I am truly sorry for today’s incident, I will give both of you an explanation.”
Thalia regained her composure and spoke softly, “The most important thing now is to go to the hospital for a check-up. Miss Lawrence doesn’t look too good.”
As Kelvin holding Cheyenne turned and walked away, Iker felt a sudden pang of sadness in his heart.
He remained silent throughout, staring down at his legs while clenching his fists tightly beneath his suit jacket.
Whether or not it was Davon who released the snake, the ultimate goal was himself. Cheyenne had been caught up in this mess because of him.
In that moment just now, he wanted nothing more than to catch her before she fell. But what good would that do? He could barely walk on his own – how could he possibly take her to the hospital?
Perhaps it would be better to let go and trust Mr. Foley – he was the only one here whom they could rely on in this dangerous situation.
It wasn’t until that tall figure disappeared from view that Iker reluctantly tore his gaze away from them.
He glanced over at Erica and Davon among the crowd before turning away with a flash of light in his eyes.
“Tanner, let’s go.”
“Yes, Master Iker.”
Meanwhile, Kelvin hurriedly carried Cheyenne out of the Todd mansion’s gate as Chris had driven Kelvin’s black luxury car over.
He saw two people from afar, and immediately got off the car and opened the door.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Go to the hospital.”
Chris didn’t ask much, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
On the way, the woman in Kelvin’s arms slightly opened her pale and dry lips, silently murmuring, “Kelvin, Kelvin… You owe me seven years of time.”
Her voice was very soft, almost impossible to hear what she was saying.
The words “Kelvin” and “seven years” from her mouth echoed clearly in his ears.
What seven years?
Their marriage had only lasted three years.
Kelvin thought she was bewitched, unable to count even numbers, and his face was surprisingly cold.
Chris, who was driving, secretly turned his head to look at the CEO. He… he unexpectedly reached out and placed a hand on Miss Lawrence’s waist, with a calm posture. Miss Lawrence, on the other hand, was unconscious and tears streamed down her face as she buried it in his shoulder.
Kelvin didn’t know what she had dreamed of; she suddenly bit into Kelvin’s neck, warm breath spraying, causing a tingling sensation.
Accompanied by a slight sense of pain.
Kelvin’s body stiffened, he took a deep breath and pulled her long hair to throw her away.
“Cheyenne! Are you awake or pretending?” The angry shout was deafening, as if the world was about to collapse in an instant.
Chris accidentally hit the brake instead of the gas pedal, causing the car to abruptly stop and lurch forward. The passengers inside were thrown off balance, and Cheyenne slid onto his lap.
Her hand landed on a sensitive area of his body. “Mmm…” Kelvin’s expression became complicated as he let out a sexy groan.
“Cheyenne Lawrence!”
