NovelEnglishEdmund was sweating heavily when he heard the loud snarls of the chimp.
He couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.
Hearing the sound of the chimp, Fiona hurried with Rosemary to the very place.
Seeing Edmund pointing a gun at the chimp, Rosemary cried, “Johnson! Don't fire!” Turning around, Edmund saw the woman and felt tons lighter in his heart.
“Rosey, are you okay?” The man asked, his gun still pointing at the animal.
“Johnson put your gun down. Don’t hurt Elma.” The woman said.
“No, Ellen is here.” The gun-holder explained.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt these words, Rosemary found Ellen lying at the feet of the chimp. No wonder Edmund wouldn't put the gun down.
“What happened to him?” It was beyond her expectation that she could meet these two men here.
“We were attacked by some snakes and he got bitten and now got unconscious.” The man explained, looking at his companion.
The woman helped the unconscious man get up and asked the girl, “Fiona, they are my friends. Can we find someplace to stay awhile?” Fiona had a look at the man who threatened her chimp and asked, “Rosey, are they your friends?” “Fiona, | will explain later, okay? Now could you find someplace to cure my friend?” This was the top priority now. Or he might die.
Fiona then took the group somewhere else.
“Rosey, this is a safe place. Let's have a rest here.” Casting a look at the patient, Fiona added, “He was bitten by a snake which was very good at hiding. Only the snake-bile of its kinds can cure him.” Rosemary asked Edmund, “Johnson, how did you two come here?” “We heard of the news of you falling off the cliff and Ellen insisted upon seeking you with me. The plane hit a rock in the valley bottom and we had to walk.” The man explained.
“Thank you for doing this for me. But it's not worth risking your lives for me. How will you get out of here if | were dead?” Edmund felt some pain. He would like to sacrifice for her.
“Whether it's worthwhile or not, we have the final say. Don't worry about that.” “Okay, I'll talk no more about it.” Turning to Fiona, Edmund said, “How to find the specific snake?” Fiona turned to Rosemary, “Rosey, one of the bottles | gave you yesterday contains the antidote. One pill will save him.” “Why didn’t you say it a moment ago?” Edmund was confused.
First snakes, then pills, confusing.
Fiona didn’t answer him yet threw him a glare and went to play with her chimp.
“Why, it seems that that girl dislikes me.” Looking at the girl, Edmund was perplexed.
Rosemary fed the patient with the pill and let him lie down.
Then she rose and said to Edmund, “How come! Fiona is kind and won't dislike you.” “Rosey, did you hurt your head when you fell off the cliff? You think | am fabricating something that doesn't exist?” The man was unhappy.
“Then let me examine your theory. Maybe there is some misunderstanding.” She came to Fiona, who was rubbing the chimp’s head gently.
“Fiona, do you think that Johnson is a bad guy?” “Rosey, what did your friend point at Elma with? She was so frightened.” Fiona was pouting.
“You mean the thing that he held in his hand when we first met him?" “Yes!” It occurred to Rosemary that the chimp was not just a pet but also a friend and family member.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThough Fiona didn’t know what a gun was any way the chimp was scared.
“Fiona!” She held the girl's hands, “I apologize for what my friend did to Elma.” Then she came to the chimp, whispering in the manner of Fiona, “Il am sorry, Elma. My friend thought that Elma was going to hurt his friend so he was forced into doing that. | apologize for that. If you forgive him, just give out a sound, okay?” The chimp howled aloud.
“Thank you, Elma.” Rosemary smiled.
Fiona saw that Elma was not scared anymore and she hugged the chimp happily.
“Fiona, why don’t we go to my friends? They are friendly. It's just a misunderstanding.” She held the girl's hands.
“It's okay since it's just a misunderstanding. But can you tell your friend not to do that again? It will frighten Elma.” “Okay. | promise that won't happen again.” She smiled.
Then they came to Edmund.
“Johnson, you will not point your gun at Elma or Fiona will not talk with me.” Rosemary explained why she made such a request.
Edmund felt he was quite innocent. It was for self-protection after all.
But he apologized anyway, “Il am sorry, Miss. It was my fault. | shouldn't have done that to your friend.” There was much sincerity in his tone.
And he turned to the chimp to say sorry.
