Matriarch of the Hockleys

"Then I'll go first." How could Doris fail to see that he was lying? Andrea and the others had just gone out, so how could they come back so soon.But she didn't expose his lie.

"Well," Eden nodded towards her, "then we'll go back first. Goodbye, Mr. Greg." After speaking, he also walked towards the manor.

Frustrated, Mr. Gregg waved his hand holding the bouquet a few times before leaving unhappy.

"Charlotte, tell the kitchen to quickly prepare some sandwiches, small biscuits and other portable things. We are going to have a picnic in the mountains this afternoon." Andrea deliberately wore a gray-blue long dress, and her walking steps became Light up, with a bright smile on his face.

Carl, who was sitting on a chair reading a newspaper, looked up and saw the bright smile on his sweetheart's face.

"Is it all arranged?"

"Of course, don't worry about my work." Andrea's confident words made Carl laugh, "What time do we go?"

"04:30, we're wandering over there, eating something. We'll be back around eight o'clock. Maybe we can have some snacks." She had already planned it.

"Well," Carl looked at her indulgently, showing a gentle smile, his eyes were full of love.

It was a low mountain, only 200 meters long.The lush vegetation makes the first impression it gives people is green.

"Da, da da~" The sound of horseshoes gradually faded away, and Andrea and the others stood on the hillside, looking at the trees all over the mountain, and their mood became more relaxed.

Carl and Eden carried baskets full of things, while the two beautiful ladies went ahead with fans.

"It's right here?" They walked to a relatively flat grass, and Carl put the basket on the ground first. "good."

They stopped and Eden took an oversized tablecloth out of the basket and spread it out on the grass, pulling it now and then to make it look even.

Andrea and the others sat on the grass after placing some food and tableware on it.

"Let's take a rest first." Andrea rubbed her somewhat sore ankle, leaning against Doris. "Then let's take a look around later."

The time passed while they were resting, and soon they agreed to go two by two and wait until an hour later to meet.

"We're heading south, see you later," Carl waved them. "knew."

"Let me help you." Although the grass is soft, it is also uneven.Carl crossed Andrea's slender waist and half hugged her, and Andrea moved and did not break away.

"Don't move, be careful," Carl said righteously, "The weather seems a bit gloomy, let's go back early later."

"Understood," Andrea pouted, she finally came out to play, why did she go back so early! ?

"Hey, next time I'll come out with you, just the two of us." Carl's smile was mixed with a hint of ambiguity.Andrea couldn't help blushing.

Along the way, Andrea was very excited.Carl looked at her patiently, his sharp face softened.

Suddenly the wind became stronger, and Andrea's hair was blown up to cover her eyes, "Let's go back quickly, it seems to be raining," Karl pinned the hair blown on her face behind her ears, and looked at her. The gray sky, some worried.

"Then let's go back quickly." Andrea also saw the sky covered with dark clouds, feeling a little uncomfortable, why did the sky change at this time.

But before they could get back to where they were before, a storm came.

"Let's find a place to block it first." Carl shouted as he took off his coat to protect her from the rain.

Soon, he dragged Andrea to find a place that could barely keep out the rain.

It was a very shallow cave, and the two of them squeezed together to barely get in.But it was so short that they had to bend over, and Carl wrung out his half-wet coat and wiped her rain-stained face.

"Don't worry, the rain will stop soon, and we'll go find them later." Carl thought she was worried about how to go back, and hurriedly comforted her.

"En." Andrea looked at Karl's reliable face, and rested her head on his warm and firm chest.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Carl's heart sank.Are they going to stay like this until tomorrow?Carl frowned, and patted Andrea from time to time, as if to cheer her up.

"I'm so hungry," Andrea regretted that she didn't eat more before, and there was a hollow sound of hunger in her stomach.

"Wait a while, hold on." Carl had nothing to do, so he could only comfort him like this. "kindness."

"Carl, Karl, what is that!" Andrea's trembling voice was full of fear, her pupils dilated, looking at the green that almost blended with the grass.

"What?" Carl didn't notice anything unusual, and only looked carefully when he heard Andrea's words.

sky!Carl's scalp was numb, and the way he moved slowly was evil.

"Andrea, come behind me." Carl whispered, leaning out to stop Andrea behind him.

"No, be careful," Andrea suppressed crying and grabbed Carl's shirt.

The snake seemed to have no intention of attacking. Seeing it slowly turn and crawl to the other side, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, its upper body jumped up and bit Carl, and he could swear that at that moment he definitely saw the venom on the fangs.

It was so fast that Karl couldn't react at all. Just when he thought he would definitely be bitten, the sudden thrust made him fall to the ground involuntarily.

When he came back to his senses, he heard Andrea's sharp scream.The snake bit through Andrea's clothes fiercely, and its fangs pierced her skin. Before Carl had time to think, he grabbed the snake and took it away.

The stone hit the snake's head hard until most of the snake's body turned into meat sauce.

The downpour wet Carl's clothes, his wet hair clinging to his scalp, he hurried back to Andrea's side.

"You shouldn't have pushed me away," Carl looked at Andrea distressedly, "I'll help you squeeze out the snake venom."

"Could it be that you are being bitten?" She didn't regret pushing Carl away. At that moment, her mind went blank, and before she had time to think, her hands had already moved.

Andrea didn't refuse, and let Karl unbutton her skirt.

Even in the dim light, Carl found the wound at a glance.On the snow-white shoulder, the blood-oozing red and swollen wound looked shocking.

"Hold up, I'll suck it out for you," Carl said, wanting to suck the poisoned blood for her.

"Don't," Andrea raised her hand to stop him, "You will be poisoned too, squeeze it with your hands."

"It's okay, the breath will be cleaner." After finishing speaking, he covered the wound without waiting for Andrea to say anything else.

"Bah," "Bah," Karl spat out poisonous blood on the ground, his forehead sweating.

Carl didn't stop until the blood sucked out was of normal color.He tore off a strip of his shirt and tied it under Andrea's armpit. "Come on, I'll tie it up for you so it won't spread too quickly."

Andrea had been leaning against him at his mercy, and Carl tied her dress in a knot.

The rain outside seemed to be a lot less, Carl looked at the listless Andrea worriedly, and said with determination, "Let's go now, we have to go to the doctor as soon as possible."

He put his coat on Andrea's head, and carried her half in his arms and half in his arms as he walked in the rain. The rain dripped down his hair, blocking his sight.

He almost slipped and fell several times, and that's the downside of the grass, it becomes slippery when it touches water.

Fortunately, there was no danger, "vomit~" Andrea felt her stomach tumbling, and things kept spitting out of her mouth, and she felt her whole body was burning hot.

"Andrea, hold on for a while, just for a while, we will be there soon." Carl shook Andrea, and the speed under his feet accelerated a little.

Fortunately, Charlotte is a dedicated servant. As early as when the weather changed, he asked someone to invite the doctor to the manor, and followed the car up the mountain by himself.

Doris and Eden were both holding black umbrellas and shouting, "Andrea! Andrea! Mr. Hockley! Andrea!" The driver turned on the headlights, lighting up the area .

Although it was only less than seven o'clock, the sky was already dark.

"Andrea, we're coming." Hearing the shout, Carl led her forward while encouraging her.

"Let's get engaged, Andrea. We'll get engaged when we get back to New York, and then we can get married on Halloween. We can go to Hockley's old house together for Christmas this year." Carl had long wanted to be recognized by the law class. One thing, even if Andrea wanted to wait a little longer, he would not agree.

Fortunately, Andrea didn't refuse either. When she stepped forward, she realized how much she loved Karl.

She's not one to be impatient, but in this case, she doesn't want to procrastinate.She loved him, there was no doubt about it.

"We're married," Carl said, kissing her, and the two were quickly at the light.

"What's the matter?" Eden threw down his umbrella in a hurry, and ran to Carl regardless of the cold rain.At this time, Andrea was close to fainting.

"Get in the car first, go to the doctor, she was bitten by a snake." Without going into details, he hugged Andrea and ran towards the car.

Eden hurried to follow, but was sprayed in the face by the car exhaust. "Let's go too," he said without even picking up the umbrella, and opened the car door to let Doris in first.

"Hurry up and find a doctor." Carl kept urging, and Charlotte, who was sitting in the front row, said hastily, "I've sent someone to go, and the doctor should have arrived at the manor by now."

Startled by Carl's red eyes, Charlotte turned back and flinched.
