The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 302

"It's me! The door's stuck. Can you open it?" Noelle whispered, scared to make a sound that might scare the snake. However, the snake was quick and bit Noelle's leg as soon as she spoke.

"Ouch!" Noelle screamed, falling to the floor.

"Noelle? Noelle! What happened?" Yevgen yanked at the door handle. "Noelle, talk to me!"

"A snake! There's a snake in here!" Noelle's voice was weak, her head spinning.

Hearing that, Yevgen did not hesitate. "Noelle, move back. I'll kick the door down!" With a few strong kicks, he broke the door open. "Noelle, are you hurt?"

Yevgen saw Noelle on the floor, pale, with a snake close by, flicking its tongue.

He quickly grabbed the snake, slammed it against the sink, and threw it aside. Then, he rushed to pick Noelle up from the bathroom floor.

"Noelle, are you okay?"

"I..." Noelle's head felt like it was spinning. Yevgen noticed a cut on her calf. "That snake is venomous. Noelle, stay strong! I'll get the venom out!"

"No, please don't!" Noelle shook her head, trying to stop Yevgen. "You don't have to..."

"You..." Yevgen's words hung in the air as he spotted a group of people dressed in black heading their way. The leader scanned the room with a sharp eye. "Wow, someone's got nerve, stirring up trouble at The Majestic Lounge. Don't you know who runs this place?" His voice was icy, sending a chill through the crowd before landing on Noelle. Noelle was as pale as a ghost and felt woozy, but she bravely met his stare.

Lareal recognized Noelle, though she did not know him. Seeing her uneasy look, he stepped closer. "Miss, are you okay?"

Noelle shook her head weakly. "I..."

"Quick, someone help this lady and get a doctor!" Lareal called out. People rushed to assist Noelle, but Rowena and Teresa dashed to her side, blocking the way. "Hold on! Who are you? What do you want with her?"
