A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 221

Liam put the snake meat in his mouth and chewed it carefully. Then, he smiled and gave Cynthia a thumbs up.

Cynthia raised her chin proudly as if she knew he would react in that way.

Soon, a sound came from the cliff wall behind them.

Hunk followed his two subordinates down to the bottom of the cliff.

Cynthia was at a consplanus spot, so it did not take long to find them.

of relief.

Hunk secretly b

“Ms. Larson, I’m so

re okay” he said

Then, he used the walkie–talkie to tell the subordinate at the cliff to report the situation to Evan

Cynthia did not expect Hink to be the one coming to her rescue. If Hunk is here. Anthony might’ve also followed along she wondered.

Then, she asked in puzzlement, “Hunk, why are you here?”

“Ms. Larion, Mr. Clara is still waiting for Dr. Buckley to save him. Please cooperate with us,” Hunk replied.

“Has Anthony’s heart condition worsened?” Cynthia asked with a frown. According to her previous observation, Anthony’s heart condition was indeed serious, but it was not critical.

Hunk was anxious. “Ms. Larson, it’s a long story. You’ll understand when you see Mr. Clara. Please help us put in a good word with Dr. Buckley Later,” he pleaded

Sering how anxious he looked, Cynthia knew it must not be a simple matter.

She nodded and replied, “Okay”

Cynthia then directed her gaze at Liam, who was sitting on the ground, and continued, Hut you have to send him up first.”

Hearing that, Liam raised his head and met Hunk’s gaze before he lowered his head coldly.

Tcan do it myself 1 don’t need their help, he stated.

There was no way he would let Hunk help him when he knew Anthony had feelings for Cynthia

Hunk knew Anthony’s previous actions made a bad impression on Liam and Cynthia.

“Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Clara caused you two trouble by mistaking Ms. Larson for someone else. As long as you follow us back, you will understand why he behaved like that, he explained

ow is to

“Our priority now is to leave this place before it gets dark, he then added.

With that, Hunk stepped forward to help Liam up from the ground, but as soon as he extended his hand, the latter pushed it away and insisted, “1 can get up myself

Liam’s right leg was no longer bleeding, but he was still injured Cynthia did not dare to bandage the wound in such a damp environment and merely applied herbs to it

At that moment, his wound was throbbing because of his actions.

Liam stood up. Not during to touch the ground with his right foot, he jumped forward with his left foot.

Cynthia was afraid he would trip, so she hurried over to help him

When they approached the rope, Liam took the end of it and wrapped it around Cynthia’s waist

The

rope

ted by Hunk and the others was movable. One end could be tied to the body, and another person could help pull it from the other end. It could save a lot of effort.

Looking at the rope around her waist, Cynthia wanted to refuse by saying, “Your leg is injured, so you should go up first

Liam was quick to press down on her hand. “Listen to me. I can’t possibly leave you down here alone,” he said solemnly. Unable to argue with him, Cynthis could only comply

Liam went up after her, while Hunk and his subordinates were the last to go up.

When

everyone got to the top of the cliff, Evan and Queena surrounded Cynthia, scrutinizing her several times,

Cynthia had no choice but to jump a few times to prove that she was perfectly fine.

“Look, I’m fine,” she said.

Then, she rolled up Liam’s trousers and looked at Evan.

“Master Buckley, Liam was bitten by a snake a long time ago. We need to go back immediately to

to neutralize the venom, Cynthia added.

Evan looked ar

od and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, C.

The first aid in time, he thought.

He then proceeded to lead them down the mountain, saying “Let’s go. I’m afraid someone will become a widow if we delay any longer.” Although Evan sometimes found fault with Lian, the latter was Cynthia’s husband regardless, If something untoward were to happen to Liam, Evan would be more anxious than anyone else.

The group returned to Serene Sanctuary,

Both Haller and Delilah were inside the house. Hallet was still unconscious, and Delilah was looking after him.

Tabella and Anthony, who was in a coma, were the only ones in the yard,

When Isabella saw the returning group, she hurried over. Dr. Buckley, your protégé

Her sentence was cut short at the sight of Cynthia

Tabella thought she had seen her doppelganger, though Cynthia was stronger and more spirited than her.

Cynthia had also noticed tubella. A deep frown appeared on Cynthia’s face as she took in Isabella’s facial features that were similar to hers Their g gazes met in the air, and an indescribable feeling arose in their hearts,

Seeing that they were stummed, Hunk, who knew everything, came forward to explain. “Ms. Larson, this is Isabella Davis whom Mr. Clara mentioned. You two look very alike. Do you now understand why Mr. Clara mistook you for her?”

Cynthia came back to her senses and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart.

Smiling, she stepped forward and greeted Isabella, “Hello, my name is Cynthia Larson.”

Isabella reciprocated with a smile, “Hello, I’m Isabella Davis.

When the two women stood together, everyone could see that even their heights were the same. Except for their temperament and attire everything else seemed to be duplicated.

Liam looked at Isabella and frowned slightly. “How can he get the wrong person when it’s so obvious? He should get his eyes checked,” he commented in disdain.

Liam was originally displeased with Anthony for harassing Cynthia several times, and now he felt that the reason for it all was absurd.

“He can’t even recognize his own woman. How useless,” he grumbled.

If Anthony were awake at the moment, they would have fought there and then.

Isabella did not mind Liam’s attitude. Instead, she looked at Evan hopefully and begged, “Dr. Buckley, can you save Anthony now! I’m terrified that he won’t be able to last for long

Hearing that, Evan glanced at Liar’s leg

Cynthia caught on. Recalling Hank’s words at the bottom of the cliff, she looked at the unconscious Anthony and understood the whole situation.

Then she said, “Master Buckley, I’ll treat Liam. You can save the others”

With that, she pulled Liam to her room.

Meanwhile, Anthony was carried to the treatment room.

Cynthia only needed to neutralize the venom in Liam’s body and bandage his wound, so it did not take long. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Hallet also regained consciousness in the evening.

After being bitten by a venomous snake and treated by Delilah’s parasite, he was in a daze.

When Cynthia saw him, she was furious and punched him.

“How can a man like you be so timid! You almost killed us, she scolded.

Hallet winced. As soon as he returned to his senses, he tried to dodge Cynthia’s punch.

“Don’t hit me. I’m a patient now,” he pleaded.

Cynthia jabbed

“Don’t you thing

forehead in disappointment.

girlfriend will dislike you if you continue to behave like this?” she questioned.

At that, Hallet reflexively looked in Queena’s direction, only to see that her eyes were sparkling as if she was watching a good show.

Then, he was hit on the head again.

“I’m talking about your future girlfriend. Why did you look at Queena?” Cynthia chided.

Hallet covered his head with an aggrieved expression

“It’s all my fault, and I’m sorry. But don’t make me look bad, please!” he said.
