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 overcby 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 sas murder!”
Stephanie glared at Milly intently as if she were delivering sgrand 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 crwhen 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 cfirst.
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 shero for trying to protect this snake, huh? If | can’t get to you right now, | swear, I'll end

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 couldnt 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 hadworried 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 becclear 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.
