Alexia nods, trying to calm her racing heart.

When she watches Damien look at her with furrowed brows.

Whats that? Where? On your lips.

Her trembling fingers lift up to only stop at two puncture marks on her lower lip.

Her body freezes.

The viper has still managed to bite her.

And now probably its poison is already running in her veins.

---- Chapter 437 Alexia freezes.

Panic settles in her chest and the world stood still She didn't want to die She had fought for so long....she cant die like this: Before she knows, tears pool her eyes and her bold smiling exterior cracks.

The world seemed to shrink to this one moment, to the firelight dancing acrosshis face and his touch burning her skin.

She didn't move.

As he continues to suck and spit out poison from her lip.

Beads of sweat trailed down his forehead, eyes zero in on her lip like it was the only thing in this world that he could see right now.
