Anthony's heart sank. When he saw the look of determination in Charmine’s eyes, he was very moved.
He hugged her and said, "Rest assured, my darling. I’ll be the apple of your eye, the man you can’t have enough of."
With that, he lowered his head and landed a gentle peck on her face.
It was windy that night.
A car pulled over not far away from Mount Village. A few men dressed in black got off and filed out with intent, heading straight for the cave of snakes.
They opened the cage and saw a lot of snakes inside. Each snake perked up, their head angled upward and jaws wide open, ready to attack.
The men in black coldly took out a spray and pressed at the nozzle at the snakes, spritzing its contents.
Just like that, the snakes stood no chance to attack. They instantly fell limp into a pile.
The men quickly shoved the snakes into a bag and hurriedly brought the bag to the car parked at the village's entrance.
They left in silence.
Little did they know...
Inside the bag, the two snakes that Chloe had named Do and Re rose, their eyes glowing. They were the first to wake up.
As though agitated and alarmed, they opened their jaws and revealed their pointy fangs.
Hiss!
They bit through the bag and slipped out.
They slithered out of the car and fell into unfamiliar surroundings. The two snakes made their way back to the village.
At the village chief’s house...
Chloe was up thinking all night long.
If snakes in the wild were not effective, what about the cobras she fed? Would that be effective?
Should she go to the cage and get some cobras to test it out?
Would it work?
Although she would feel bad for the snakes, she was also worried about Anthony's illness.
She could not pretend as if she did not know anything.
With this in mind, she made her way toward the snakes' cage at the cave, wanting to have the snakes' opinions if they were willing to take part in her plan. i
However, when she got to the cave, she saw that the metal cage had been forced open.
Chloe's heart sank as she hastily ran toward the cage, only to see that all the snakes had disappeared!
Chloe's heart sank and was petrified on the spot. She frowned with confusion.
Did Uncle Kay catch them all?
That could not be it.
Uncle Kay did not know about the snakes down here. Auntie Charmine also said that he went hunting up the mountains.
Chloe grew anxious and sprinted out of the cave, wanting to tell the village chief of what had happened.
Not long after, she spotted that under the street lights, snakes as big as both her legs and one arm combined slithered toward her.
Chloe looked at them for a while and cried out in shock, "Do, Re!" Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Chloe quickly ran toward them. "Where did you all go? Where are the rest of the snakes?"
However, the once tame snakes glared at her coldly.
They widened their mouths and showed their fangs, seemingly about to attack her.
Startled, Chloe withdrew her hands and stepped back, staring at the suspiciously. "Do, Re, I’m Chloe. What happened? Were you hurt?”
Chloe went back to the cave, but the two snakes still chased after her.
They slithered toward her, their jaws unhinged, seemingly about to attack her in any given second.
Chloe had no choice but to put on some sulfur powder on her arms, and it effectively made the snakes close their jaws.
Nonetheless, the intensity in their gaze remained, their hostility ever present.
Chloe could not help reaching out her small hand, trying to touch their head.
