As if to prove Alexanderâs words, a harsh car horn suddenly blared!
â A car was blocked, incessantly honking its horn.
The people at the hospital entrance all looked over, and Purple Summersâ face instantly turned incredibly bad.
She had no choice but to reluctantly get in the car with a bitten lip, feeling inexplicably humiliated.
Alexander, however, felt she was sitting too far away, so he pulled her closer to him, their legs almost touching.
Purple tried to dodge him, but he tightly clamped her hand!
She was so startled that she gasped.
This guy was simply outrageous! Atra Blanc and the driver were right in front!
As expected, Atra heard the commotion and asked, âAlexander, what are you doing with Purple?â
âOh, Iâm talking to her about Cleo,â Alexander replied indifferently, making no move to release her hand.
Alarms went off in Purpleâs head, âCleo? What about Cleo?!â
She hadnât forgotten how Alexander had used a snake to probe her before!ââââââ
It was clearly his own snake heâd raised for several years, but he deceived her into believing it was her pet, and she foolishly went along with it!
Now that Alexander mentioned Cleo, what did he mean?
Did he want to test her again? Or warn her? Did he find out that she was occupying his sisterâs body, which is why he kept teasing her?
Every nerve in Purpleâs body was tense!
Atra spoke from the front: âYouâve been admitted to the hospital twice in a row recently, both times in critical condition. Your brother and I are very worried. Your brother invited a mage to look at the geomancy, and the mage suggested having a spiritual pet at home. He said that keeping it for a long time would protect the whole familyâs well-being.â
Actually, Atra didnât really believe it, but the mageâs words âbereft of kith and kinâ hit her hard!
Purple didnât have biological parents, isnât that the same as being bereft of kith and kin? Itâs better to believe it than not. If raising a snake could keep her daughter safe, Atra would accept it.
After listening, Purple felt cold all over!
She thought of how that giant snake slithered over her body, how it coiled around her leg and hissed, and couldnât help screaming in fear
âI donât want to keep a snake!â
Her voice was slightly sharp due to being overly agitated. Purple slowly softened her voice and pleaded pitifully, âMom, Iâm scared, I donât want to keep a snakeâ¦â
Atra turned to look at her with a sympathetic gaze, âPurple, donât be scared. Your brother knows youâre afraid, so heâll move in with us and take care of the snakeâs needs. Cleo will be kept in a cage and wonât hurt you.â
Purple was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
If raising a snake made her feel like sheâd fallen into icy water, then Atraâs words were now a heavy slap, sending her to the Arctic Circle, bones and all turned into ice shards!
Alexander was actually moving back into the small house?!
This was simply a terrible piece of news!
Heâs already been touchy-feely now, what would happen if they lived together? She would be devoured by him!
Purple stiffly turned her head to look at Alexander.
His handsome face was expressionless, but as his eyebrows slightly raised, a teasing smile emerged from his bottomless black eyes, unrestrained and wicked.
âPurple, you have to be a good girl,â Alexander laughed, lightly scratching her palm with his rough fingertip.
Purpleâs whole body stiffened, only feeling despair.
In her clear and bright eyes, a thin mist of tears welled up, and for the first time in her life, she was so angry that she cried!
â This Alexander was too bad!
