Alex was stunned speechless by the sudden kiss. Even with Beatriceâs affection for him, he still didnât
feel a hint of joy at all. He knew this woman too well, especially with the countless things she said to
him last year. She even whacked his head with socks for no less than ten times. He knew her very well.
If he were to truly fall in love with her, he felt that his life would be shortened by multiple years.
He couldnât help but think, âIf I were to disclose my identity as Alex Rockefeller, the person she had so
desperately wanted to divorce Dorothy, would she turn into a fool from shock?â Smack!
Alex landed a slap on her thigh and said coldly, âThis is the first and last time. Iâm a married man and
faithful
to my wife. If you ever try to do something like this again, Iâll leave you here and let you go your own
way.â
Beatriceâs thigh hurt but her heart hurt even more, as if she had been splashed by a bowl of cold water.
Aggrieved, she said, âSorry, Mask. I just⦠Wanted to express my gratitude, I didnât mean anything
else.â Alex said, âItâs better this way.â
However, after a while, Beatrice squirmed behind his back. The intense body contact had fanned a
flame
inside his body. Upset, he said, âWhat are you doing?â
Beatrice hesitated, her face flushed with embarrassment.
She said, âI⦠I need to use the restroom badly. Is
there any restroom around here?â Alex said, âThis is a primitive island, and there are not many
restrooms around. Thereâs no one else anyway, so just finish your business on the road!â He put her
down. Beatrice limped as she walked toward a bush. However, she dared not go too far away from
their location. The moonlight lit his silhouette, giving her a
sense of security.
Soon after, Alex heard the sound of water dischargeâ¦
Then, he also went to the other side because he had the urge to go as well. When Beatrice saw Mask
peeing on the other side, her face flushed red in that instant. Her heart raced wildly
as various thoughts flashed through her mind. At this moment, her urine suddenly disturbed a sleeping
snake. The snake had a grayish black body. Since it was disturbed by humans, it probably felt very
annoyed. It could sense the heat from Beatriceâs body
and bit it.
âOuch!â
Beatrice felt immense pain. She hurriedly reached out and touched the origin of pain. As a result, she
felt the cold, rough skin of a long snake. It was biting and holding onto her! âAhh!â
Beatrice jumped like a lunatic, trembling in fear. Even her face had turned paled. She couldnât care less
about
her pants and ran towards Alex in a panic. âHelp! Mask, help! Thereâs a snake. Aargh!â Most women
were afraid of snakes. Beatrice was even more terrified.
Alex was taken aback for a brief moment. He had yet to react to the situation but Beatrice had already
jumped onto him. âF*ck!â He was dumbfounded. He was just peeing halfway, how could he stop at this
time? âSnake, snake. I was bitten by a snake. Itâs still biting my bottom now!â She trembled as she burst
into tears
uncontrollably.
It was probably the most horrible thing that she had encountered in her life. She even had
goosebumps all over her body. In fact it was even more terrifying than the female ghost she saw earlier.
Finally, Alex was done with his business. Then, he turned around to settle Beatriceâs problem, only to
see
that snake had already let go of her and fallen to the grassy ground, hastily escaping.
Alexâs eyes glistened as he could see things well at night. At a glance, he could see the figure of the
snake
clearly, it looked like a wilted branch, with a triangular head and its cheeks were particularly obvious. It
was a viper, also known as Deinagkistrodon and extremely venomous.
Alex dared not hesitate for a second, he hurriedly leaped away with Beatrice on his back, escaping the
grassy
land. They came to a bare, rocky land without any grass. âItâs Deinagkistrodon. Itâs venomous. Tell me,
whereâs the bite?â Alex hurriedly asked after quickly putting Beatrice down
