"I''m not important!" Stefan protested hoarsely.


    "Go look for Adie first.


    T can still hold on." "You look like you''re about to pass out.


    How can you hold on?" Renee ignored Stefan and insisted on helping him downhill.


    "Let''s go back to the campsite.


    I''ve got to get you off the ind and into a hospital." If Stefan really had been bitten by a narserial, it was very serious.


    Renee had read about an animal like that in ancient books like Legends of the Mountains and Seas.


    Although its existence was still questioned, it was indeed poisonous.


    If one was bitten by it, they had to be treated immediately or it could be fatal.


    Adie''s safety was important, but Stefan''s condition was more urgent.


    After some deliberation, Renee decided to send Stefan to the hospital first.


    "T...


    I''m fine!" Stefan pushed Renee away, urging her to look for Adie.


    "I''ve searched the entire mountain except this path, so he has to be here.


    If you don''t look for him now, he might go missing again when you want toe back for himter." "Don''t worry, I know Adie well.


    Right now, I think you need help more than him." Renee rolled her eyes.


    It was getting harder to support him, so Renee quickly carried him on her back "Cut the crap, or I''ll throw you down the hill." "How dare you..." ." "Shut up! I''m not messing around." Renee snapped at him. "I''ll do it if you keep this up!" Unable to fight back, Stefan just kept quiet and obeyed her.


    Renee carried Stefan on her back and walked downhill.


    She struggled from his weight, and her legs wobbled with each step.


    "I think you''ve put on a few pounds-you ''re practically crushing me! " Renee gritted her teeth as she grumbled.


    Stefan just remained quiet on Renee''s back as if he had epted his fate.


    Taking a deep breath, Renee added, "You don''t have to thank me since you saved my life before.


    If you didn''t risk your life to find those herbs, I would be dead by now.


    So, I can still carry you." There was still no reply, and she heard Stefan''s breathing growboured.


    She pinched Stefan''s leg and


    whispered, "Why aren''t you saying anything i promise I won''t scold you." "What...


    should I say?" Stefan asked weakly.


    "why don''t we pick up where we left off? Tell me what happened when'' Ne

    Something must have happened." "T went missing to save myself back then.
