Chapter 872

The black Cayenne roared through the night, the driver pushing the car to its limits as if hist foot might break through the gas pedal. Yet, Aaron wasn’t satisfied. “Faster,” he barked.

“There’s no need to rush. Safety first,” Lena said, her voice calm despite her pale complexion. As a doctor, she knew the basics Judging by the snake that bit her, it was likely just a common green snake, non-venomous.

Despite her reassurances, Aaron remained tense, his entire body rigid. The driver, responding to the urgency, raced toward the hospital with record-breaking speed.

What should have been a twenty-minute drive was reduced to eight. By the time they screeched to a halt, the driver’s legs were trembling from the adrenaline rush. It was the first time in his life he had experienced such an intense, heart-pounding ride. Aaron didn’t wait for the car to stop completely. He leapt out, carrying Lena straight into the emergency room. “Doctor, she’s been bitten by a snake,” he said urgently.

“Doctor Lane?!” The attending physician immediately recognized her.

Lena’s face was ashen, not from the pain of the bite or fear of venom, but from sheer terror. Despite being in Aaron’s arms the entire way, she was still shaken-both by the snake and the breakneck speed of the drive.

“I was bitten by a snake. It shouldn’t be venomous,” she explained to the emergency physician.
