Chapter 292 He Could Not Die

He was injured, taking me out seemed impossible. I was afraid, if I died here, he would also be stuck

here with me.

Seeming to know what I was thinking, Daniel’s face turned ashen, his voice restrained and low, “Don’t

talk nonsense, we will find someone soon. Don’t sleep, as long as we get out, we will find someone.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

I nodded, but it felt as if my strength was being drained bit by bit. I didn’t even know what kind of snake

it was, how it could be so powerful. I hadn’t been bitten for long, but I was already feeling weak all over.

To encounter a snake in winter, I really was unlucky.

Seeing that I was about to close my eyes, Daniel raised his hand and slapped my face, his voice

almost domineering, “Tabatha, don’t sleep!”

“My eyelids were too heavy, and I looked at his somewhat blurry figure, saying, ‘I’m sorry for dragging

you into this mess with me, and for causing Sebastian to be lost somewhere. Mr. Monroe, if I die, when

you see Sebastian, please apologize to him for me.

“Shut up!” He suddenly raised his voice, trembling a bit, “Whatever you want to say, whatever you want

to do, go do it yourself, Tabatha. I won’t help you with anything. Don’t sleep, I’ll carry you out.”

He hoisted me onto his back, moving forward step by step. I lay on his shoulder, thinking about his

injured leg, and with a hoarse voice, I kept saying sorry to him, one apology after another.

He just kept responding to my inability to sleep, over and over again. In the end, he even started to

threaten me, saying that if I fell asleep, he would leave me here, to be forever lost in this thicket.

“Let the snakes, insects, rats, and ants in this mountain and soil gnaw at me,” his words scared me

quite a bit. I’ve been afraid of these things since I was a child. The thought of being gnawed by these

creatures after death made me shudder uncontrollably.

But I was still very tired, and very weary. Leaning on Daniel’s back, I forced myself to stay conscious

and said, “Daniel, could you help me take care of my mother?”

He walked laboriously, responding to me in a hoarse voice, “No, Tabatha, I won’t help you with

anything. You’d better live well on your own. And, I warn you, you can’t die now. If you die, my return

will be meaningless.”

I didn’t know what he meant by saying that. I somewhat suspected that I was hallucinating due to the

snake venom attacking my heart, and I kept muttering apologies.

The mind also became increasingly heavy and confused.

Later on, I lost consciousness, with only the domineering and gloomy voice of Daniel reaching my ears.

He seemed very angry, and on the verge of panic.

Actually, I wasn’t afraid of death at all, it’s just that I had a lot of regrets. I didn’t stay with my mother

and live well, didn’t manage the Conner Group left by my father properly, didn’t say goodbye to Walter

properly, didn’t tell him that a long time ago, I really wanted to have a child with him, to live a peaceful

life as a family, and there were so many more regrets…

I woke up in the hospital. In the few seconds when I opened my eyes, I was momentarily disoriented,

until a deep, magnetic voice came from beside me. “Awake!”

It was Walter.

I slightly turned my head and saw the man sitting next to me. His delicate and cold face looked

somewhat haggard. I didn’t know how long he hadn’t taken care of himself, he had grown quite a bit of

beard, looking a bit unkempt. However, it didn’t affect his attractiveness, he was still very good-looking,

just a bit rough.

Looking at him, I was somewhat dazed, it took me a long time to find my voice, “Why are you here?

Where’s Daniel?” Am I not dead? Was I carried out by Daniel? That was the only thing I could think of.

Walter’s face turned completely dark. His originally bright black eyes dimmed as he looked at me. The

restrained worry on his face seemed to disappear in an instant. After a long time, he coldly spat out

four words, “He won’t die.”

He then got up and left the ward without saying a word.

I looked at him, full of confusion, where was he going?

A few seconds later, I understood, because the doctors outside the ward came in. After they had

examined me, a leading doctor asked, “Ms. Conner, is there anywhere else you feel uncomfortable?”
