The bullet went through the Tibetan mastiff's head. Its leaping body suddenly landed on the ground and made a huge sound.
Jessica couldn't help trembling.
She looked around, and a man with a shotgun standing commandingly was not far away.
At the very second, Jessica saw Jas, she felt bitter, sour, and had a sudden urge to cry. Her eye sockets got wet, and tears were welling from her eyes.
Jessica didn't cry when she fought courageously with the Tibetan mastiff for her life. But seeing Jas made her cry.
Jessica bit her lips with her white teeth so hard that it bled.
Jas put the shotgun down and charged over at Jessica.
All her face was covered in the mastiff's blood. And her clothes were blood-drenched. She looked ssy and tired. But for Jas, Jessica, at the mont, was the gorgeous woman he has ever seen in his life.
Her beauty was breath-taking.
Jas picked her up and kissed her forehead, comforting her, "Jessica, it's okay. I'm here for you."
Jessica was exhausted and couldn't think of anything. She wasn't in the mood to respond. All she felt was fatigue. And the wounds hurt on her body.
When they returned to the hotel, Jas asked for a presidential suite. Three doctors were waiting for them respectfully.
Jas held Jessica up in the bathroom.
She was covered in blood and needed to take care of.
Jas put her down on the toilet. And he threw away his jacket. Then he opened the faucet in a hurry to put water in the bathtub.
Jessica was still horrified, and she watched Jas as he hurried back and forth. She couldn't help withdrawing her hands in horror.
After taking care of everything, Jas returned to Jessica and tried to take off her clothes. But Jessica stepped back out of instinct.
Jas said, "Relax. Even if I want to do sothing, now would be the worst ti."
Jessica felt soft and tired. She felt like talking, but she was choked on words.
So she let Jas take off her clothes one piece after another.
Jas moved slowly in case he hurt Jessica. He kept frowning the whole ti. When he saw a mark left by the mastiff's claws, he instantly looked ferocious.
Jas picked Jessica up and put her in the bathtub full of warm water.
When the water ran through the wounds, Jessica hurt so much that she groaned and trembled.
Jas's heart was broken, seeing it.
If he didn't co out to look for Jessica since he hasn't seen her for a long ti, he wouldn't co to the woods. And Jessica might be...
He would not dare to think back!
The woods were the hunting ground for people to entertain themselves. If soone had a hunting plan, they would release the ga in advance. Ferocious beasts would show up at night. The Tibetan mastiff was one of them.
But Jessica impressed Jas a lot this day. To his utter surprise, Jessica faced up to the ferocious mastiff and fought as hard as she could. This was a huge surprise.
Jas said, "Put up with it. I have to disinfect the wounds and apply ointnt after you wash them."
Jas put water on Jessica's body and gently washed it while he said with a deep voice.
Jas moved gently but not slowly. He knew the wounds needed to take care of as fast as possible. So he only washed the dust off the wounds.
After washing, Jas picked Jessica out of the tub and dried her body with towels. Then he put a nightgown on her, carried her out of the tub and put on the bed. Then he asked the doctors who have been waiting patiently in the living room the whole ti to co over.
Three doctors finished an examination after monts.
Jas asked, "How is she?"
One doctor said, "Mr. Moore, Miss Clifford is fine though she had a lot of wounds. We have given her rabies vaccination. But..."
"What?" Jas suddenly looked harsh. One word was enough to send fear to the three doctors.
"She touched the snake with her hands. The poison will infiltrate her blood along the skin."
Jas looked at where the doctor pointed. Jessica's right-hand palm has turned purple.
Damn it!
Jas didn't notice that when he gave Jessica the bath. In a blink of the eye, it turned so serious.
Jas asked, "What snake?"
The doctor answered, "It's a snake called green gobbling. It originates from the deserts. Unlike normal snakes that inject poison through biting the victim, green goblin is fatally poisonous through its body, including its body, breath, and teeth. If Miss Clifford was bitten on the ground, she would be dead."
Jas couldn't help shaking hearing what the doctor had said. Luckily, the green gobbling didn't bite Jessica. Or who knew what he would do?
Jas said, "If so, why don't you start treating her?" He was not pleased with how slow they were.
The doctor hesitated, "Mr. Moore, it's just...just..."
"What? Tell !"Jas would rather it was him that lay here covered in wounds. He was not patient.
The doctor said, "Green goblin is an evolved snake. There's no cure for its poison. Even if we did have the cure, we have to check the origin of the species to see if there was any vaccination."
Jas grabbed the collar of the doctor the second he finished talking. He said with a grueso voice, "What did you say?"
The doctor said, "Mr. Moore, the truth is still true even if I told you ten tis. The best way is to cut off the infected hand before the poison expands."
Cut off one hand?
Jessica couldn't help getting shaken.
She then ca back from the state of horror.
Her right hand slightly shook. She could not imagine a life without the right hand. In a daze, she felt like she descended into an unfathomable and cold pit.
She felt the piercing coldness coursing through her body.
What the doctor said, shocked Jas as well.
He waved and tossed the doctor out, "Get out of there!"
The three doctors imdiately left the room.
Jessica looked at Jas, who had a terrible look with a pale face. She slightly coughed and moved her cracked lips, saying, "I'm not having my hand cut off. I'd rather die."
This was her choice. Cutting off her hand ant the sa as killing her.
Jas trembled, walked over, and covered Jessica's hands with his big and warm hands, saying, "I'll try my best. I'll ask the best doctor in B Country to co over to treat you."
Jessica felt the warmth from the palm of her hand since Jas held hers. He ant sothing special for her. Their past didn't make them have more hatred for each other. On the contrary, every ti when it was a matter of life and death like this, Jas beca all the hope she had. And it turned into sothing Jessica didn't like to admit but existed for real, love.
The tear fell from the corner of Jessica's eyes. They were stone cold. Jessica bit her lips so hard in case she started crying. Then she moved her lips, which had teeth marks, saying, "If there is no other way, they have to cut off my hand, please do a favor. I can't live without my hands. Help ..."
Before Jessica could finish, Jas stopped her, saying, "I don't allow you to quit so fast."
Jessica said, "But the reality will not change just because you don't quit. How am I supposed to live without my right hand? You tell ."
Jas said, "You still have even if you lose your hand. I'll be my hand. I'll treat you the sa. I'll love and cherish you like always. What are you afraid of?"
Jessica shook her head. Even if Jas said so when it really ca to the point that they grew hatred against each other, who could say Jas would stay the sa?
Jas was flustered, seeing Jessica shook her head. He was really afraid she would give up hope.
He was terrified that Jessica would give up on himself and him.
So Jas suddenly had an idea and knelt down on the ground, saying, "If you are worried, I'll propose right now. Jessica, marry . Give the opportunity to love you all your life."
