Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 291 Wilderness Rescues

Milly couldn't move fast enough, and the massive stone smacked right into her hand, sending a shock of sharp pain that nearly knocked her out. Tears sprang to her eyes from the intensity of the pain.

She bit down on her lip so hard she could taste blood, and it oddly helped her focus.

Glancing over, Milly was relieved to see the small snake unharmed on the side.

At least it missed the snake.

Bearing the pain, Milly freed her hand from under the stone. It was soaked in blood, and the severe pain left her arm feeling dead.

"Damn, that's painful."

Stephanie caught the look of agony on Milly's face and narrowed her eyes before asking. "Did you break your leg or something?"

Milly, too overcome by her pain, barely registered her.

Stephanie said, "You were all about waiting quietly in the woods for help. You did that on purpose, right? You knew your leg was busted, and you couldn't make it out yourself, so you wanted to trap someone else with you!"

"Milly, that's cold. It's practically the same as murder!"

Stephanie glared at Milly intently as if she were delivering some grand moral judgment.

She seemed to forget that she was the instigator.

Had it not been for her ill intent, how would they have ended up stuck in such a cramped spot with most of the troops, two of them caught in this mess by the rough terrain?

She wouldn't see it that way, though.

In her view, when she kills, it's justified, but it's a crime when others' do it.

Milly had been dealing with her for ages, fully aware of her self-centred nature. Such self-absorbed people never understand decency or shame. In their minds, their personal rules always come first. Arguing with her is like debating morals with a fool-it's pointless.

Now, more badly injured and no match for a direct fight, there was no use arguing. So, Milly tuned her out, closed her eyes, and focused on gathering her energy.

Seeing she was being ignored, Stephanie's face contorted with rage, and through gritted teeth, she hissed, "So, you think you're some hero for trying to protect this snake, huh? If I can't get to you right now, I swear, I'll end this snake!"

With that, she picked up the stone, now covered in her own blood, again.

This is it....

Chapter 291 Wilderness Rescues

This time, she feared she really couldn't protect that silly snake. The poor thing was already off its rocker, having just slammed into a stone, and now it was about to get crushed.

If it encounters other snakes in the afterlife, they'll probably laugh it to death.

Just as Milly shut her eyes, not wanting to watch the snake get squashed, distant shouts began to sound, growing louder and louder.

"Stephanie! Stephanie! Can you hear me?"

"Stephanie!"

Could it be... Xavier?

Milly and Stephanie, poised to strike with the stone, heard the shouts. Instantly distracted, she dropped

the stone.

Xavier had found her!

Excitedly, she called out, "Xavier, I'm over here!"

Hearing her, Xavier rushed in her direction.

When he caught sight of Stephanie, he wrapped her in a tight embrace, with tears of happiness streaming down his cheeks. "Oh Stephanie, I'm so relieved you're safe. You had me worried sick." Tears started to fill Stephanie's eyes, too. "Xavier."

Looking at her with a worry that drained the colour from his face, Xavier's fear for her was unmistakable.

As the group made their way down the mountain, it became clear that Stephanie and Milly were nowhere. to be found.

With other students needed to return to school, the school notified the authorities and waited for rescue teams while the rest of the instructors led the students back.

Xavier, too anxious to wait, returned by himself, driven by his concern for Stephanie.

Thankfully, his search was successful.

"Stephanie, you scared the life out of me. Why did you wander off like that? Do you know how risky it is in the woods, especially for a young girl? What would we tell Mom and Dad if something had happened to you!"

Xavier was freaked out. You could see it in his eyes as he spoke.

Stephanie bit her lip, struggling with what to say next.

She knew spilling the beans wasn't an option. Luckily, she had whipped up a backup story for the Burnett family's prying questions.

"Xavier, I'm really sorry if I worried

you. The thing is, I noticed Milly

wasn't around and started freaking out about where she could be. I didn't want to stress you out, so I took it upon myself to look for her. which

ended up with me losing track of everyone else. That's the truth,

Xavier, and I promise I won't do it

Chapter 291 Wilderness Rescues

Milly was too vulnerable and didn't have it to come forward.

Her voice sounded so sad, and Xavier couldn't help but feel for her. When she shared her story, he found it hard to be upset with her.

However, as soon as he found out Milly was at it again, his mood shifted completely, visibly annoyed.

Xavier couldn't help but silently blame Milly for almost causing him to lose Stephanie.

Stephanie, who was good at picking

up on cues, noticed the shift in m Xavier's mood and knew her plan was working, allowing herself a slight smirk of victory.

Yet, for her, this was just the beginning; she wouldn't be content until she saw Milly's downfall.

"Xavier, I need to say something..."

"Stephanie, are you okay?"
