Chapter 31 - Bitten By Snake

On one hand, people were anxiously looking for Persephone all over the island, and on the other hand, the same person who they were looking for was sitting on the thick branch of a broken tree with no care in the world.

She was sketching something on white paper. A smile was dancing on her rosy lips.

She was at peace here. She loved sketching there.

Once her sketch was complete, only then she looked out of the sketchbook. 

However, the scene before her eyes wasn't as beautiful as it was before.

Fear crept up to her face as she saw a snake sitting near her feet proudly. Ready to hiss her. 

*Hiss!*

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

On Giselle and Anna's side. 

"Oh my God! It's her voice," Anna shouted in fear. "What would I say to my boss if something happened to her? She is my responsibility. How could I be so negligent with my duty?"

"Hey, Anna. It's not your fault. Let's see if she is hurt first," Giselle said quickly to console Raven who was now on the verge of tears. "Let's go to that side, okay?"

Anna nodded. She couldn't think straight right now. Thank God, Giselle was here with her or she didn't know what to do.

"Miss Hayes Princess Giselle, we heard the scream from this side, should we enter together?" Jean said as he ran towards them.

"Of course," Anna replied quickly.

A few moments later, they found Persephone lying on the ground and panting heavily. 

"Percy!" Anna ran towards her. "What happened?"

"Am I dead?" Persephone asked an extremely beautiful woman accompanying Raven in a very weak voice. "Are you an angel? Am I in heaven?"

Anna had an urge to smack this crazy girl. 

"What happened to you?" Giselle asked as a frown was formed on her perfect brows. "You seem in great pain."

"I was bitten by a snake---"

Before Persephone could say anything, she fell unconscious. 

"Percy!"

"Wake up!"

"Call a doctor!"

"Anna, calm down, "Giselle said, her expressions were unusually calm and steady. "It will take at least an hour for the doctor to come. Let's take her to my wing, it's closest from here." 

"What?! No! Boss has marked all of the wings as forbidden places for her to enter. She can't go there."Anna was very quick to react. However, she forgot who was in front of her. The infamous brat. 

"Okay, let her die here if you don't want our help," Giselle said while standing up. "If she is dead, I don't have to worry about sharing His Majesty's attention with anyone." 

Anna calmed down herself and ordered Jean and his other accomplice to pick Persephone and shift her to Giselle's wing. The wings which were in the structure of mini Palaces were more luxurious than the one Persephone initially stayed in. By the interior of the place, it was hard to tell that Giselle wasn't a real princess and she wasn't residing in a real palace. 

When Raven was hovering over Persephone's unconscious body and cursing the doctor for not coming soon, Giselle was sitting on a lounge chair watching the drama unfolding before her hazel eyes. She munched on the apple as she studied Persephone's face. 

The young girl was beautiful. But not so beautiful that His Majesty was ready to give Villain anything to have her in return. 

She must be precious to Villain, given Anna's concern for her. Not to mention that she was staying in his ocean villa. The place which was forbidden to everyone except for Anna and the Villain himself had given shelter to his new girl. 

"Doctor, please treat her. She was bitten by a snake," Anna said as soon as the doctor entered the room. 

Doctor nodded. "Please leave her side. Let me check her up once." 

Giselle tilted her head to the side, waiting for her doctor to confirm her belief. 

"Miss Hayes, are you sure she was bitten by a snake?" Doctor asked with furrowed brows.

Anna nodded. "When we found her she was panting heavily and before losing consciousness she told us that she was bitten by a snake."Pointing at the bite mark on her leg, she added," Look here, she was bitten." 

The doctor took a deep breath before saying, "Miss Hayes, she wasn't bitten by a snake. If she was, she wouldn't have survived an hour, given how poisonous snakes are found on this island. As for this bite, it's an insect bite." 

"Are you sure?" Anna couldn't believe the doctor's words. If she wasn't bitten by a snake, then why did she fall unconscious? 

As if the doctor could read the thoughts going inside her head, he said, "It seems she has a phobia of snakes. It's a very common phobia among people where they imagine getting bitten by a snake if one ever comes before their eyes. She fainted because of panic, not because of the snake bite." 

"Would she be alright?" Anna inquired. She was too worried about her health. 

"Yes, she will be absolutely fine. Let her rest and she will be fine. She doesn't even need medicine." 

The doctor left soon after the check-up. Giselle was now reading a magazine while Anna was taking care of unconscious Persephone. 

Everything was fine until...

"Who's creating a commotion outside?"
