Chapter 665 Carrying Her

Lysander reached out, interiding to take back the mosquito repellent.

Seeing her persistence, Josiah didn’t insist on holding onto it. He had just handed it over when he heard footsteps approaching. Before he could even glance toward the door, Rhizone, clutching a blanket, appeared before them.

Compared to his eloquent sister, Rhizone was much more reserved. His words were always brief but meaningful. “Josiah, Dr. Thorne, Mom said it’s cold here. She asked me to bring you another blanket.”

The bedding and pillowcases that Nilou had previously brought over were still there. Now, with the addition of this thick blanket, it was clear that their family had truly put thought into it.

Upon seeing Rhizone clutching the blanket that almost covered his eyes, Josiah quickly unzipped the mosquito net to assist him.

Lysander said, “I really can’t thank you enough.”

“It’s fi…” Rhizone was mid–way through the response as his sister had instructed him when his gaze fell upon the cushion next to Lysander. Suddenly alarmed, he blurted out, “Don’t move!”

Upon hearing those words, Josiah, who had just received the blanket, and Lysander, who was about to continue applying the medicine, simultaneously halted their actions.

Leaning forward, Rhizone whispered, “Dr. Thorne, there’s a centipede near your foot!”

Lysander’s face instantly turned deathly pale..

“I–Is it poisonous?” she asked.

Rhizone shook his head. “I can’t quite make it out.”

In the rural health center, there was simply no antidote available. Hence, anyone unfortunate enough to be bitten would likely be left to the mercy of fate.
