Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 293 Abandoned

Xavier frowned as he quickly bandaged Milly's injured hand.

His hands trembled slightly, and he clenched his jaw tightly. He had to redo the final knot three times before getting it right.

Milly's hand looked horrific, with blood, torn flesh, and exposed bones. The infection had already started spreading from the mud.

In Xavier's experience, this kind of injury needed immediate attention. Delaying treatment could be dangerous.

Suddenly, a loud scream pierced the air. "Ah!"

It was Stephanie's voice.

Stephanie, who had a bit of a higher perch, ended up rolling down the hill like a discarded toy, ending smack in front of Xavier and Milly.

Xavier couldn't get to her quick enough; she fell too fast.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Stephanie, what's going on? he asked, rushing to help her stand.

Stephanie was a mess, looking pale, with her arms scratched up from the tumble and blood on her lips, almost like a rag doll that had seen better days. "Stephanie, talk to me. Are you okay? Where does it hurt? You're freaking me out!" Xavier's voice was filled with worry.

Barely catching her breath, Stephanie whispered. "Xavier, is Milly alright?"

And just like that, Xavier felt his heart drop.

Stephanie, despite everything, was still looking out for others. What about him, though.

He had left Stephanie alone, pursuing trouble instead. That was on him.

If he had stayed by Stephanie's side, she never would have taken a fall. But just a moment ago, Stephanie seemed okay. What caused such a quick shift?

Oh yeah, Stephanie had mentioned coughing up blood before. She must be dealing with some internal. injuries.

He had overlooked that important point entirely!

Stephanie gasped, "Xavier, is this it for me? I feel terrible."

"Don't talk like that!" Xavier urgently interrupted, his eyes tinged with red. "We're getting out of here and straight to a hospital, now!" Chapter 293 Abandoned

He was determined not to let anything wrong happen to Stephanic.

Firmly, he attempted to pick her up, but he felt someone pulling at his clothing. "Xa... Xavier."

It was Milly.

Realizing she was being left behind, she found herself begging for the first time, driven by a powerful urge

to survive.

Stranded in this desolate place, without Xavier's support, she was staring down a dark fate. She wasn't necessarily scared of dying itself.

But what about Apollo? Jordan? Would the Burnetts still be doomed without her around? And George..

Actually, the idea of death scared her to the core.

Milly grabbed Xavier's sleeve as tightly as she could. Her eyes, usually so full of pride, now showed vulnerability. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out - just a silent plea to Xavier, begging him not to leave her.

It was the first time Xavier had ever seen her let her guard down like that.

In a moment of uncertainty, Xavier remembered the Milly he knew-bright, proud, and strong.

All her accolades seemed meaningless now.

Now, that proud and beautiful girl lay in a pool of blood and rainwater.

Milly saw the conflict in Xavier's eyes, his inner struggle. But as he looked at Stephanie, clearly in pain, his resolve strengthened. Gently, he pried her fingers from his sleeve.

It didn't hurt.

Maybe he had used little force.

Or perhaps she had just become used to the pain.

Xavier then left, carrying Stephanie in his arms.

When he walked away, she glanced at Stephanie, confidently smiling and entirely at ease in Xavier's arms, unaware of any stress or unease.

Stephanie was right. She had won this round.

Milly tried to speak further, but a metallic taste rose in her throat, trickling from the comer of her mouth. She struggled to wipe it away, only to see her hands stained with blood and everything in front of her slowly blurring

It's gotta be dying, like really dying here, but maybe there's still enough left for the little snake to snack on.

Wait, do snakes even eat flesh?

In a fog, she watched him approach the little snake, lifting it by the tail and gently tapping its tiny head with his finger. "Bobby, running away from home?"

Huh? The snake's name is Bobby? And it's Astral Luminous's pet?

But who named it such a plain name? They should've called it Dumbhead Snake!

Is Underworld Service so good now they're into hugs? Are they grading service down there, too?

Slowly, consciousness slipped away entirely.

Xavier was slumped on a bench outside the hospital, still in his instructor's uniform, now soaked with rain and mud.

He looked visibly shaken, staring off into the distance with a hollow gaze as if he had left his spirit behind.

Then, unexpectedly, Xavier stirred.

He raised his hand abruptly, delivering a sharp slap to his own face. The loud crack echoed through the quiet corridor, causing his fair complexion to instantly swell.

It was unclear if this was a
