Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 122

A snake shot out of the box! Its body was striped with alternating bands of white and black, its tail slender and pointed, unmistakably a venomous serpent!

Roseanne's instincts kicked in, and she dropped the box instantly. But the snake had launched into the air, baring its fangs as it lunged at her.

The host nearby had turned as white as a sheet, clutching the microphone and screaming at the top of her lungs.

Chaos erupted on the spot. Everyone backed away, trying to distance themselves from the danger.

But Roseanne didn't have that luxury and could only watch in horror as the snake flicked its tongue, aiming for her wrist.

Just then, two figures leaped into action almost simultaneously. Being closer and quicker, Murray yanked Roseanne away before Corley could reach her.

But in doing so, he left his neck exposed to the serpent.

"Watch out!"

"Be careful!"

Roseanne and Millie both shouted out together.

The former was safely in Murray's arms, while the latter charged forward, using her body to shield Murray. Thus, the snake's bite landed squarely on Millie's calf.

"Ah!" Millie winced in pain and slumped to the ground.

Murray's pupils dilated with shock. He pushed Roseanne aside and rushed to inspect the bite on Millie's leg. It was a poisonous bite!

"Babe..." Millie's eyes filled with tears. "It hurts so much..."

Murray gritted his teeth, pulling Millie into his embrace. "Why would you do something so foolish?"

Despite the sweat from pain covering her forehead, Millie smiled weakly, "At least you're not hurt..."

"Anne?" Leda wrapped an arm around her, concern evident on her face, "Are you okay? Didn't get too scared, did you?"

Roseanne snapped back to reality, shaking her head slightly. "I'm fine."

Leda seemed to sense something, her worry growing.

Roseanne tried to force a smile, but each attempt was more strained than the last. After a moment, she finally spoke, "Leda, let's head back."

"Okay."

"Don't worry. I'm okay." Within seconds, she was back to normal. "I was just thinking it's good for him," she paused, murmuring, "Better than before."

Roseanne hoped Murray had found the one he loved this time and would cherish her.

Having witnessed everything, Corley struggled to suppress a smirk.
