Chapter 534 Thank God That Luke Is Back...


    In the nick of time, Bianca managed to scramble several steps forward to higher ground, and the snake


    did not spot her momentarily.


    That was a close call!


    How could such scary animals appear in the mansion?


    Bianca''s stomach hurt intensely, and her body was limp. She did not have the strength to run.


    In front of the front door of the house was a flight of stairs. Every step was a struggle, but she could


    only force herself to move.


    The snakes behind her continued to swarm at her. The biggest snake was almost going to reach her


    when Uncle Vald suddenly turned back and shouted, ’Madam!"


    He noticed a children''s wooden spade at the side. That was what Lanie and Rainie often used when


    they yed in the garden. He summoned his courage, took the spade, and mmed it on the snake''s


    head!


    The spade was light, but Uncle Vald was strong. The snake was incensed by the pain and moved


    faster. It stuck out its tongue, bared its fang, and bit Uncle Vald!


    The gardener disregarded his status, carried his female employer in his arms, and continued running


    toward the house.


    Rushing through the front door, Uncle Vald kicked open the bedroom door and ced her inside.


    Just when he was about to close the front door, he felt an intense pain in his calf. Holding back the pain


    and using hisst ounce of strength, he mmed the door shut and blocked all the snakes outside!


    "Madam, lock... lock the door. Don''t... don''t go out..." Uncle Vald felt his head spinning. He twitched and


    fell on the floor with a thud.


    "Uncle Vald!" Bianca was almost scared to tears. She crouched and kept calling his name.


    There was no use. Uncle Vald had already lost consciousness. He did not hear her calling his name.


    Bianca rolled up Uncle Vald''s pants. She noticed a bite mark on his calf.


    The area around the bite mark was already swollen. It was obvious that the venom was taking effect.


    Looking at the gardener''s ghastly pale face, Bianca felt both guilty and grateful. If Uncle Vald had not


    saved her in the nick of time, she would be the one bitten by the snake.


    It was not the time to wallow in sorrow. She had to find the blood serum to save Uncle Vald''s life.


    Disregarding the pain in her stomach, she dragged herself upstairs and went to the room next to the


    study.


    The room had a stock of medicinal supplies, though most of them were non-prescription drugs, such as


    flu medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, and all sorts of pills and ointments.


    Bianca remembered that there should be blood serums and other solutions meant for injections.


    The mansion was located on a hill and surrounded by a dense forest. There were insects, spiders, and


    even snakes, but most of them were not venomous. The mansion also had strict measures against


    insects and other creepy-crawlies, and blood serum would rarely be needed.


    Even so, they had a stock of blood serum just in case.


    Usually, one would be flustered whenever they were in a hurry.


    The more you want to find something, that thing would disappear without a trace. When you were not


    looking for it, you would find it right in front of your face.


    That was exactly what happened to Bianca at the moment. She searched the drawers and cabs


    and found all sorts of other medicines except for the blood serum.


    When she thought that Uncle Vald’s life was slipping away every passing second, cold sweat poured


    down her face.


    She suddenly remembered that Luke had told her in the video call that the rifles and tranquilizer darts


    were in a hiddenpartment in a drawer. Would the blood serum be stored in the same ce?


    Bianca opened a drawer in a cab. She almost pulled the entire drawer out when she noticed a


    hunting rifle, a bottle of tranquilizer, two small vials of blood serum, several single-use syringes, and a


    large bag of sulfur.


    She breathed a sigh of relief, took all the items in her hands, and rushed downstairs.


    The banging on the door was intense.


    That gave Bianca a big fright. She did not expect that the snakes were so unrelenting that they were


    mming at the door with their bodies!


    Usually, snakes would not attack humans unless they were threatened. However, those snakes


    seemed like they were out for blood. It was unbelievable!


    She did not have time to think about the reasons. Uncle Vald''s face was already turning purple and


    ck. He was almost not going to make it.


    Trying to keep herselfposed, her trembling hands opened the syringe packaging, inserted the


    needle, and pushed out the air. She tried to remember how the nurse had given her injections, found a


    vein on Uncle Vald''s arm, and tried to give him an injection.


    It was her first time giving an injection, and her hands were trembling. It took her several times to insert


    the needle into the vein.


    She breathed a sigh of relief and gently injected the serum into Uncle Vald''s vein...


    Her face became paler and paler as the banging sounds on the front door became more and more


    intense. She could tell that more than one snake was mming its body at the door; one snake alone


    would not have made so much noise.


    It was the first time that she felt so helpless.


    Bianca poured a thick ring of sulfur around Uncle Vald and her. She read that snakes feared sulfur, but


    there was no scientific evidence behind it.


    She had no other choice anyway. She emptied the entire bag of sulfur around them.


    Then, she took the hunting rifle in her right hand, the tranquilizer darts in her left hand, and transfixed


    her gaze on the front door.


    The door was electronically locked and was very sturdy. The snakes would not be able to break it


    down.


    Some snakes were quite intelligent. Seeing that they could not break down the door, they slithered to


    the floor-to-ceiling window and started battering it with their bloody bodies.


    Bianca was shocked when she saw that. Were those snakes or monsters?


    It would be very dangerous if the window was made of normal ss.


    Fortunately, Luke had the foresight to make the windows out of bulletproof ss. The window did not


    move, no matter how the snakes mmed their bodies at it.

    However, the snakes seemed to have lost their minds. They continued mming at the windows even


    though their bodies were already battered and bloody.


    Sitting on the carpet, Bianca hugged her knees and shivered. What if the snakes managed to get into


    the house?


    Suddenly, she heard hasty footsteps at the entrance to the mansion. Then, she heard the sound of


    gunshots and a familiar male voice calling her name. Instantly, tears rolled down her cheeks.
