Chapter 1755
Before Chloe could touch them, the snakes brought up their heads and opened their jaws.
Terrified, Chloe quickly retrieved her hands and looked at the snakes before her with suspicion.
The snakes used to be so tame. What happened to them?
"Do, Re, I’m your best friend, Chloe," fretted Chloe, pained at how the snakes behaved. "I won't hurt you all."
She then pointed at the side. "Look, this is where you used to live.
Grandma and I used to feed you every day."
The snakes fidgeted as though they had violent flashbacks upon seeing the cage. They straightened themselves, and their gazes grew sharp, unforgiving.
Chloe saw the looks in their eyes and frowned.
What harm befell them that they did not want to even go to the cage where they had lived all year long?
Chloe looked at them helplessly. After a moment, she tried to hand over some food she took from the side. "Do, Re, are you hungry? This is your favorite food; have some!"
Both snakes did not move even as they spotted the food in Chloe's hand. They seemed to be staring at her cautiously instead.
Chloe was naturally sensitive to their behavior. Seeing how scared they were, she put the food into her mouth and started eating. "It’s not poison, Do, Re! Look, I’m eating it, too!"
With that said, she picked up food with both hands and fed them. "Chloe won't harm you. Have some."
The two snakes stared at the food in her hands for a long while. Finally, they stretched out their bodies and opened their mouths, too overtaken with hunger. They quickly took a bite of their food before retreating to a safe distance to chew, however, as though scared Chloe would hurt them. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Nonetheless, Chloe was pleased to see the ophidians eating.
It was only then, however, that she noticed patches of broken scales and skin on the snakes, exposing their bloody flesh.
Chloe cried out, "Do! Re! Why are you hurt?"
Chloe reached out toward them, wanting to hold them, but before she could, the two snakes snapped toward her, eyes sharpening as they stared at her intently.
Chloe instantly waved it off and explained gently, "I'm not trying to harm you."
She took out an ointment from her bag, put it on her own arm in front of the snakes, and said, "I’m trying to clean your wound."
The snakes seemed to have understood Chloe's intention, and their intent gazes seemingly softened.
Chloe reached out and tried to carry Re. Surprisingly, although it struggled for a moment, it did not open its mouth and tried to attack.
Chloe instantly squeezed out the ointment and slathered it on its body.
Seeing the wounds on its body, Chloe muttered, guilt-ridden and upset," Do, Re, I'm sorry...l know you guys are hurt because of Uncle Anthony. I won't hurt you guys, but only you can save Uncle Anthony."
Thinking of Anthony and how blameless these snakes were, Chloe's nose turned sour. Her warm, crystal-like tears fell down her cheeks and onto the snakes.
Chloe sobbed, "Do, Re, Uncle Anthony is a nice man. He treats me and Auntie Charmine so kindly. He treats Chris nicely as well. He's a good guy, not a bad one at all! I don’t want to see him suffering; I want to see him and Auntie Charmine happy ever after. 1-1 have no choice but to..."
The snake's pain seemed to have lessened. It started to trust her more and nestled itself further into her arms, unwilling to slither off.
Chloe watched as Re leaned into her embrace, her nose red as she smiled gently. She then lifted Do and smeared the ointment on its skin, i 'Til let you both go if you don't wish to treat him. I won't force you." As for Anthony's illness...
