Coolest Girl in Town

When the Shepherds Quarrel

Although Alexander was trying hard to sound normal, Elise could still hear how weak he sounded. Even so, she sighed in relief, knowing that he was at least alive.

“Send me your location now,” Elise demanded sternly before hanging up without giving Alexander the chance to say anything.

One minute later, Cameron sent Elise their location through text. Following the GPS, Elise found a double-story wooden cable. After she headed upstairs, she immediately saw Alexander on the bed.

Alexander was topless, but his shoulder to waist was covered by layers of bandages to hide his injuries. Despite that, Elise could tell that his wounds were deep from the amount of blood that was seeping through the bandages.

Still, this wasn’t enough to make Alexander look so pale. Right then, Elise walked forward and grabbed Alexander’s wrist before checking his pulse. Nonetheless, her expression became grim when she felt his pulse.

“You don’t have to check.” Alexander huffed for air. “It’s the same poison that Grandma had as well. However, mine is worse.”

“What happened?” Elise’s mind was in a mess.

Why do the people around keep getting poisoned by incurable poisons? Is this a coincidence, or is it intentional?

Alexander opened his mouth a little. He initially wanted to explain himself, but he turned toward Cameron, who was standing at a side, when he realized he was in no condition to talk. “Please explain what happened.”

“Understood,” Cameron replied dutifully before explaining what had happened last night to Elise.

Upon hearing him, Elise paused. “You should get out now. I’ll start performing acupuncture on him now. There’s too much poison in his body, and he needs to get them out as soon as possible.”
