Chapter 240

The heavy rain kept pouring.

Water kept falling into her eyes, rendering it hard to open them.

She lifted one hand to shelter her eyes from the rain as she looked over the scene before her. Heinz

was indeed half-kneeling on the ground.

"Heinz ?" She shouted again.

"Don't come over." Heinz shouted back.

Grace froze instantly, looked at him, and shouted in shock, "What happened to you?"

The sound of the rain and wind were very loud. Although they were near each other, her voice sounded

soft.

"There's a snake." Heinz said sternly, "Don't come over."

Grace was startled and her mind froze for a moment. She then shouted, "Did you get bitten by a

snake?"

"Don't come over." Heinz was still half kneeling on the ground as he repeated himself.

The heavy rain continued to fall on his body, and his body was drenched through.

Grace did not hesitate nor was she afraid. There was only a voice in her heart asking her to walk over.

She strode over to meet Heinz without hesitation,

crouched down, and shone the cell phone's flashlight on his face. "You were bitten, weren't you?"

Heinz grabbed her shoulder and shouted with all his might at her, "Who let you come over? Why won't

you listen to me?"

Grace was not swayed by his shouting. She shone the flashlight around the area, and there were no

snakes.

She double-checked to make sure that there were no snakes around anymore.

"Don't get angry at me just yet." Grace shouted, "Where did you get bitten? Let me see."

Grace shone the flashlight at him and noticed that there were two small holes in his left ankle, which

were bleeding.

Grace was shocked.

"Isn't that a snake bite? I didn't know that snakes appeared during rainy days?"

Heinz said nothing as he was feeling a little dizzy at the moment.

The rain kept pouring, and both of them were drenched.

What a bewildered state they were in.

Grace couldn't care less. She reached out and grabbed Heinz's arm. "Come on, I'll help you get up.

Let's go to the car. I'll take you to the hospital immediately."

Heinz felt sick and dizzy after shouting for a while.

Grace tried her best to carry him up, so he could only cooperate with her.

However, almost all of his weight was on Grace.

They got up together and walked toward the car.

She opened the car door at the back seat, helped him in, and went in the car as well.

She fetched a blanket from the back of the car and threw it on him to wipe his hair. She couldn't care

about anything else as she lifted his injured leg and rolled up his pants, only to see that the wound was

getting a little dark.

Grace's heart sank to her stomach.

Was this snake poisonous?!

Her mind was blown in an instant. She couldn't make out what kind of snake venom it was.

Seeing that the color of the blood was a little dark, her mind suddenly flashed back to the martial arts

films that she'd watched. When a person gets bitten by a venomous snake, someone needs to suck the

blood out to prevent the venom from reaching the heart.

She didn't think twice before she bent over and began to suck the blood out from the wound.

Heinz shivered and shouted in a low voice, "Grace, what are you doing?"

Grace simply ignored him, took off her coat, and spat out the blood on her coat.

Heinz narrowed his eyes and glared at her. Strong emotions rushed through him.

"What a crazy woman. What if she dies?” He thought to himself.

She didn't care anymore and continued to suck on the wound deeply.

The blood she spat out was dark.

She continued to suck until the color of the blood became lighter, until it was the usual red color.

She took out a tissue and wiped her mouth quickly. Then, she fetched the mineral water from the front,

and rinsed her mouth with it.

Then, she tore off the hem of her shirt, and made a long strip of cloth with it.

Without saying a word, she bandaged Heinz's ankle with it.

She raised her eyes again and looked at Heinz.

He was staring at her, and his eyes were as dark as the night. He said in a low voice, "Do you have a

death wish, woman?"

She smiled brightly. "Heinz, I'll drive you to the hospital now. Sit down and don't talk."

Heinz fixed his eyes on her. "You're crazy."

"You can scold me after we have confirmed that you are safe, alright?"

Heinz's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't say a word. He could only feel the warmth in his eyes.

He turned his face away and asked, "Can you drive?"

"Yes." Grace said, "I am the second daughter of the Smith family. I had my own car, but it was only

much later."

She didn't continue her sentence after.novelbin

She had climbed from the back to the driver's seat, sat down, fastened her seat belt and started the

car.

Behind her, Heinz couldn't get rid of the strong emotions in his eyes.

This woman actually dared to suck the snake venom out like this.

A heart- wrenching pain seemed to spread throughout his body starting from his heart.

Grace turned the car around and went back towards the hill road. The wiper blades wiped off rainwater

from the windshield rapidly.

The visibility on the road was not clear.

Grace picked up her mobile phone and called Lester while driving. "Lester, Heinz and I are at the hill

villa. No matter what you're doing now, put it down and arrange for a hospital visit immediately. Heinz

has been bitten by a snake. From what I saw, it's poisonous and the blood in the wound is a little dark."

"What?" Lester was shocked and his voice sounded taken aback. "The president was bitten by a

snake?"

"Please hurry. I'm on the winding road now. We are coming down from the hill."

"Give me the phone," Heinz said in a deep voice from behind.

"Can you do it?" Grace glanced at him from the rear view mirror worriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't die from this." "Don't scare me like that." Her voice became sharper.

Heinz leaned forward, took the phone, and said to her, "Let me talk to Lester. Just focus on driving."

He was worried about letting her talk on the phone while driving on such a winding road in such

hazardous conditions.

"Okay, be careful." Grace held the steering wheel with both hands, pursed her red lips, and stepped on

the gas pedal.

The light of the car was shining, and the rain in front of them was so heavy.

"Lester." Heinz ordered in a low voice, "Arrange for a VIP room in the hospital, find the authoritative

doctor, and keep this confidential."

"President, do you need me to pick you up?" Lester asked.

"There's no need for that." Heinz glanced at Grace. Her driving skills seemed to not be too bad. Maybe

it was because she hadn't driven anywhere for the past year that her skills were a little rusty. But on the

mountain road in such heavy rain, she drove fast and steadily. It was impressive.

Heinz's heart was at ease after a guick evaluation.

"Go and prepare." He ordered.

"Yes!" Lester replied.

The call ended. Heinz held Grace's phone in his hand. "Don't worry too much. I don't think it's that bad!"

"Let's just get to the hospital as soon as possible," she said. "It's not a small matter." Heinz leaned back

against the seat and stared at her back. As he saw her driving, he thought of the scene just now, and

his gaze grew deeper and deeper.

Lester quickly contacted the hospital and arranged for an emergency bed to stand by at the emergency

center.

He was so anxious that he kept staring into space.

The bodyguards also came and waited with the doctor at the door of the emergency center.

"They're here." Suddenly, the bodyguard shouted, "It's the president's car!"
