A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 

Only then did Evan lay his gaze on Hallet, take out the medicine he had given to Liam previously, and pass it to Delilah. 

“Feed him this. It can keep him alive temporarily, and I’ll treat him when I come back,” he stated. 

Delilah returned the vial to Evan in disgust and replied, “My parasites can neutralize the snake venom, too. You should go and save Cynthia first.” 

Evan glanced at her and put the vial away, 

Tine. Your treatment will just be a little more painful,” he said and left with Queena 

Seeing that Evan was about to leave. Hunk and Isabella, who had been waiting in the yard, hurriedly stepped forward to block the entrance. 

Mr. Buckley, what should we do if you leave they asked. 

Evan looked at them in displeasure. Frowning, he said, “You’re not as important as my protégé, Didn’t you hear that she’s in danger! Get out of my 

why 

Isabella was worried that Anthony could not live for long, but she did not dare to offend Evan. Stuck in a dilemma, she remained standing at the entrance of the yard. 

Hunk looked at Queena and greeted, “Hello, Ms. Yearwood 

Queena had been staring at Isabella in confusion. When she heard her name being called out suddenly, she looked over but only saw a stranger. With a frown, she questioned, “Do I know you?” 

“I’m Hunk Grace, Anthony Clara’s assistant.” Hunk introduced himself 

“Is Anthony here?” Queena asked. She had met Anthony in the previous design competition and knew about his relationship with Cynthia Queena thought Anthony had followed them to the border shamelessly, but Hunk explained, “Mr. Clara is seriously injured. I hope you can put in a good word for us with Dr. Buckley to save Mr. Clara 

Hearing that, Queena felt a little awkward. 

The main reason was that she did not think her words would carry any weight. 

At that time, Evan caught on to their exchange, and he asked. “Do you know them?” 

“Yes,” Queena replied and nodded honestly. 

“That means they know Cynthia, too. How is their relationship with Cynthia?” Evan asked again. “You’d have to ask Cynthia about this, Queens replied as she could not comment on it. 

Evan nodded in understanding and said to Isabella, He won’t die yet. Wait till 1 save my protege.” There was no way Isabella and Hunk would give up on the chance to butter up to Evan. 

After all, Hunk had heard the entirety of Queena’s earlier recount 

He exchanged a glance with Isabella and called a few subordinates to follow him before catching up with Evan. 

“Dr. Buckley, we’ll 

go with you; we might be of help,” Hunk offered. 

Evan’s initial reaction was to refuse as he did not want to be indebted to him, but the sturdy physique of those men made him nod in silence. 

It was not the time to put on a tough front since they might actually be able to help out. 

The group walked to the cliff and looked down from where Cynthia and Liam fell, but there was no one below, 

Only the appearance of those weeds proved that they had indeed fallen off the cliff. 

Queena shouted anxiously, “Cynthia, Cynthial” 

There was no response. 

It was Evan’s turn to be anxious. He grabbed Queena’s hand and asked, “Were they really down there when you left!”

“Yes, I could vaguely see them at that time,” Queena replied. 

Since neither of them went back, it was very likely that Cynthia and Liam fell off the cliff. 

As Queena and Evan were in a panic, they failed to notice the makeshift rope beside them. 

Having not expected such a situation, Hunk was also frightened. If Cynthia’s life is really in danger, Evan w Mr. Clara, he thought. 

will definitely not be in the mood to save 

However, he did not believe Cynthia and Liam would die just like this. 

Hunk checked the surroundings and discovered the rope woven by Cynthia. Then, he pulled on it to gauge its length, and an idea came to his 

mind. 

“Calm down first, Dr. Buckley. They may not be dead. I’ll go down with the others to take a look,” Hunk said. 

Evan had no choice but to give the rope in his hand to Hunk 

“I will agree to your request if you can bring Cynthia back, Evan promised. 

“Okay! Deal. Hunk replied. 

He then left one man with Evan and Queena, and the others followed him to the bottom of the cliff. 

Cynthia and Liam, who were below the cliff, did not know someone was coming to save them. 

They had been trapped there for such a long time without any intake of water, so their stamina was almost depleted. 

Seeing that Liam’s lips were extremely dry, Cynthia decided to find some water, 

As she was worried venomous snakes or other dangerous animals would appear again, she found some specific herbs, burned them into ashes, and sprinkled them around. It could prevent snakes, insects, rats, and ants from approaching 

The area at the bottom of the cliff was not large. Cynthia searched around but did not find any water source, so she could only gather some plants with high water content. 

While looking for water, Cynthia found a non–venomous snake. At the thought of how both Liam and Haller had been bitten by snakes, the sight of another snake’s eyes filled her with rage. 

Without hesitation, she picked up a stone to kill the snake and held the dead animal in her hand. 

The time of sunshine at the bottom of the cliff is short, and since there’s no other way out of here, we can only wait for rescue. Besides, we don’t know if anyone will be coming to our rescue tonight, so it’ll be nice to eat this snake for dinner, Cynthia thought 

With that, she returned with lots of items. When Liam saw the snake in her hand, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What are you planning on doing?” 

Afraid that he would think that she was uncouth, Cynthia put the snake aude embarrassedly and explained, “I picked up a dead snake. It looks quite fresh to me, so I plan to roast it later, and we’ll eat it to replenish our energies.” 

Liam nodded and drawled, “Oh 

It was obvious that he did not believe her, but he chose not to expose her lic. 

After all, he could not move about, so he was grateful to have something to cal. 

Cynthia started a fire, threaded the snake into a twig, and then put it over the fire. 

In the middle of the roast, she went to search for two plants that could add flavor to the snake meat and dripped the plants juices on it. 

After a few minutes, the tantalizing fragrance of roasted meat could be smelled. 

Cynthia proudly bragged to Liam, “I may be bad at cooking, but this is my specialty” 

She then added with a smile, “When Hallet and I were kids, Master Buckley would always train us by throwing us into the mountain, and we were not allowed to go home until we found herbs, so we caught these things and roasted them. But you know how Hallet is. He’d endure his hunger every time, and I’d eat more.” 

Liam looked at her face quietly. A lock of her hair had fallen because she was too excited, and she smudged her face with dust when tucking it behind her ear. It made her look particularly cute.

Although Cynthia was smiling, Liam was sensitive to perceive something else. “Even adults may not survive here. How could he leave you and Hallet here” he said in a deep voice. 

Hearing that, Cynthia knew Liam had misunderstood. “We used to be naughty and hardly focus on our studies, so Master Buckley came up with this plan. But I knew he was always behind us as we never encountered any danger, even though we ran all over the mountain.” 

As they talked, the snake was thoroughly cooked. 

Cynthia took half of the meat and wrapped it in leaves. Then, she handed it to Liam and said, “Try it. You won’t be disappointed.”
