Chapter 1770From far away, Catelyn saw a middle-aged man in sackcloth herding cows on the opposite hillside.She felt dizzy and didn’t know if it was her illusion or not.“Sir, help... help...” Catelyn had been parched. When she shouted to the man, she had a sore throat.Luckily, the man heard her shout. He stopped herding cows and looked in the direction where the sound came from.Then the man saw Catelyn falling to the ground limply.“Lady? Lady!” The man threw the reins and ran towards Catelyn anxiously....“Dana, where did your husband save the woman? She looks pretty. Look at her skin. Her skin is much more tender than the skin of our mountain people.”“The townspeople don’t need to go to do the farm work like us. After they give birth to babies, they have nannies to take care of their babies. Of course, they look young and beautiful...”“Although her skin is tender, she is weak. She fainted just because she dragged the man and walked for a short distance! Even if she’
Chapter 1771Dana and Nathan looked at each other and both thought this man must be Catelyn’s man because of her worried face. Hearing no answer, Catelyn had a blackout and couldn’t help clutching Dana’s hand."Is he dying? Madam, my friend said that you are a good doctor, please save him! I gave him an antivenom, she should be able to hold on for a while..." "Don't worry. I didn't say he was dead. He still can be saved!" Nathan stared at Catelyn's pale face and said hurriedly. "He still can be saved? Really? Then why isn't he here?" Dana explained, "That's because when my man brought you two in from the entrance of the village, he happened to meet the village head and his daughter. The poison in your man’s body is very virulent and is from one of the most ferocious snakes here. Ordinary people die in less than 15 minutes. The village head saw that he had a strong will to survive, so he took him home to treat him himself." ‘The village head's house? It should be the hidden
Chapter 1772"So what? You borrowed 100 dollars, but you have to pay interest. And I often help you guys with farm work, so I'm kind enough to only charge you 600 dollars as interest!" Donte said unreasonably, raising an eyebrow at Catelyn. "Do you still want to help them pay back the money?"Catelyn was speechless. She almost dropped the knife.Before today, it was really hard for her to imagine any villager who didn't even have a few hundred dollars.Probably this place had been isolated from the outside world for too long.Catelyn was suddenly a bit skeptical. 'Can they really cure Ceddy as written in the book Yael found?'After all, all the advanced medical methods can't kill the virus.'Forget it. Solve the current problem first.'Catelyn pulled out a stack of money from her pocket and slammed it in Donte's face. "Here is at least three thousand dollars. Take this money and get lost."Donte's eyes lit up as he saw the money. He excitedly picked up the money. "You took so
Chapter 1773If it were before, Catelyn wouldn't have thought that a few hundred dollars was a lot of money. But now she had just arrived at the village and she had no friends here. Catelyn thought she could bribe Dana and her husband by giving them that promise. If they turned out to be good people, she would surely repay their favor. At that moment, Catelyn had no other choice. Two days later, Dana and her husband led Catelyn to the village chief's house. "Miss, that's our village chief's house, but we don't dare to go there. We can only send you here." Dana said to Catelyn as she pointed to a house in the distance. According to the couple, the village had been isolated from the outside world for many years and the villagers were still following the traditions from a hundred years ago. The village chief governed all the villagers and the position of village chief was passed down from generation to generation. The chief's name was Slade Swan and he lived on the ea
Chapter 1774Seth touched his beard, and his face was dark, "Humph! She is so ungrateful, being attracted by an outsider. My grandson is better than that man. If Evelyn gives up my grandson, she will certainly regret it!" "It’s just a joke. You don’t need to be serious. All right, Jasper is hardworking and honest, and he treats Evelyn well. The village head also thinks it’s good if they get married..." Listening to the flattering words, Seth was no longer angry. At this time, a man in the crowd shouted, "Miss Swan is coming." The banquet hall fell silent, and everyone looked up at the white spiral staircase. A few seconds later, a young girl in a black dress and a matching hat slowly came down the stairs. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with her hair up and the veil of her hat hanging down to hide the small part of her face. Although she looked very mature, it could not hide her arrogance. She was followed by several maids and burly men, looking like an
Chapter 1775"It's you. I didn't expect those poor people to save you.""That's thanks to you. The villagers are all kind and hospitable." Catelyn saw her in a black dress and surrounded by people. "My name is Catelyn."Evelyn put her nose in the air and snorted, "You're not so good-looking. What is your relationship with the man who broke into the village with you?"Catelyn was annoyed by her attitude, but in this situation, she had to swallow her pride."He's my husband," she replied.Evelyn furrowed her brow and said in disbelief, "You're married?""Yes, we even have several children."Over the years, Catelyn had seen too many women who fantasized about Cedrick. At a glance, she could tell that Evelyn's attitude toward Cedrick was extraordinary, so she directly declared her dominance.A man being too handsome wasn't necessarily a good thing. He would constantly attract attention."Thank you very much for saving my husband, Miss, but I'm afraid his humble presence will dist
Chapter 1776Evelyn beckoned a maid over.The maid served a cup of tea to Catelyn. Something black was immersed in the water, and its smell was more unpleasant than Nathan’s potions.The maid said slightly, “Ms. Clark, please have some tea.”Catelyn picked up the cup of tea, smelled it, and praised it hypocritically, but she didn’t drink it.‘Who knows what is it?‘It looks disgusting. Of course, I won’t drink it.’Seth might feel annoyed that Evelyn enslaved his grandson and thus reminded Catelyn kindly, “Catelyn, you’d better thank Miss Swan.”Catelyn looked at Seth in confusion.‘Isn’t serving tea to me a formality? Why should I thank Evelyn?’Catelyn didn’t think much about it. Seth looked kind. Anyway, he looked more easy-going than the arrogant Evelyn, Catelyn’s “rival in love”.Thus, Catelyn listened to Seth’s words and was about to thank Evelyn. However, Seth added, “You must have misunderstood me. The flowers on the table in front of you are psychedelic and endemic
Chapter 1777Evelyn asked Catelyn to drink the tea but didn’t remind her how much she should drink in advance. Evelyn did so on purpose to make Catelyn look like a fool.Seth frowned and said, “The tea and the flowers are all poisonous, but they can neutralize each other. Now that you have drunk the whole cup of tea, you can't stop smelling the flowers until four hours later. At that time, the poison in your body will be neutralized.”Catelyn was stuck for words and had the impulse to scold Evelyn.'The flowers are so unpleasant to smell, but I need to smell them for four hours.'Keven is right.'The villagers here are good with medicine and poisons.'They’re crazy to think of such a way to smell the flowers and drink the tea.'Evelyn sneered, "If you can't stand the scent of the flowers, you can kneel for mercy. I may help you for the sake of that man."Hearing that, Catelyn was sure that Evelyn was attracted by Cedrick's face. Thus, Evelyn regarded Catelyn as her rival in lo
