Chapter 16
Unaware of what had happened to them and uninterested in finding out, Evangeline took the hare to the riverside to deal with it,
Meghan, however, picked up a stone and hurled it at Evangeline.
Evangeline dodged it agilely.
The rock hit the water, causing splashes to land on her.
Evangeline would never allow herself to be bullied.
In response, the promptly picked up a stone and retaliated.
"Ah!"
Meghan screamed,
The stone struck Meghan's wrist, eliciting a sharp pain that contorted her swollen face in agony.
She glared at Evangeline furiously and screamed, "Evangeline, how dare you throw a stone at me! You're so mean! You will die a miserable death!" Evangeline sneered, "You started the fight. You should prepare for retaliation whenever you provoke others,"
Meghan expressed her anger, "I didn't hit you, yet you threw it at
it at my h
y hand. It hurts so much that I can't move it now!
Evangeline rebuked, "You didn't hit me because I dodged. You aimed at my body. You failed to dodge because you are useless. Serves you right it hit you."
Meghan trembled with anger and glared at Evangeline with wide eyes. She said, "Yes, I aimed at your body. So what if I kill you? You put us in such a miserable state, after all. You offended those monkeys. They came to take revenge on us, scratched us, and threw things at us. My hair was torn off as well. It's all your fault"
Although the others remained silent, they were looking at her unkindly.
Had they not been aware of Evangeline's fighting ability, they would have made her pay, just like Meghan. Evangeline didn't expect that
The monkeys put them in such a miserable state? Well donet she complimented inwardly.
Evangeline said with a faint smile. "You all are the one who was no match for the monkeys. You, loser, deserve it then!"
"Your" Meghan seethed, her chest heaving heavily with anger.
Evangeline looked at her indifferently and said, "If you unter another word, I'll bring those monkeys here"
Meghan dared not to speak.
The monkeys" beating, coupled with their siege tactics, hurt a lot. She didn't want to face them anymore.
After cleaning the hare meat, Evangeline gathered wood and started a fire, proceeding to roast the hare meat.
The five hungry onlookers refrained from attempting to snatch it, aware they couldn't contend with Evangeline and might face repercussions.
g made the same mistake twice already, they were determined not to repeat it.
Having
Meghan persistently nudged Samson with her elbows, pleading, "Samson, I'm famished. Try persuading Evangeline again to share some food with ux. I can't endure this any longer... Samson smiled bitterly and said weakly, 'It won't work. Evangeline won't share it with us" He coughed at the end.
Caught in the scent of the meat wafting through the air, Meghan swallowed and remarked bitterly, "If you were proficient at locating food, I
wouldn't be in such a miserable state..
Lying on the ground, Samson gazed at the sky with a numb expression.
When encountering the monkeys, Meghan positioned him in front of her, swiftly removing his clothes to shield her head.
Without any protection, he became vulnerable. The monkeys could attack him more easily, leaving him covered in blood. However, Meghan didn't ask about his condition afterward. Instead, she scolded Evangeline, blaming her for the monkey attack.
She was unaware it was wrong for her to use him as a shield-and remove his clothes, making him an easier target for the monkeys.
Feeling dizzy, he was unsure whether his fatigue stemmed from hunger or if his wounds had become infected after the monkey attack. He no longer had the energy to dwell on the matter. Overwhelmed and exhausted, he simply couldn't muster the mental capacity to think further
Meghan remained oblivious to Samson's abnormal condition.
The other three were equally unaware.
Their focus was entirely absorbed in Evangeline's meal.
As Meghan observed Evangeline enjoying the meat, she found herself imitating Evangeline's chewing motion.
However, Meghan's lip-smacking was perhaps too loud. Evangeline halted, looked over, and sneered, "h the air more flavorful?"
're out of
Embarrassment painted Meghan's face red. Gritting her teeth, she warned "Don't you dare act so insolently. I'll teach you a lesson once we're out
here!"
After that, she stood up abruptly, determined to leave and avoid further ridicule.
However, due to her prolonged hunger and the sudden rise, she became dizzy and tumbled to the ground.
It took her some time to recover.
Growing even angrier, Meghan clenched her teeth, compelled herself to stand, and left frustratedly.
Travis, Kendrick, and Jolene also rose to leave.
It was tormenting to witness others eating when they had no food
The discomfort wouldn't have been as intense without the enticing aroma and the visual spectacle of someone else's meal.
However, their misery became unbearable in their presence.
They decided it was best to stay away, sparing themselves from further suffering
Possibly
too famished to notice, none realized Samson was still lying on the ground.
Although Evangeline did notice Samson, she ignored him and continued eating
A viewer commented. [Is Samson dead? I can't believe the production team is so daring. Why haven't they sent someone to save Samson in his critical condition]
Another comment read: Although Samson is stupid, he doesn't deserve to die.]
One commented: [Samson's seriously injured by the wild monkeys. There's a risk of infection. The production team should rescue him.]
A comment read: [Meghan is truly vicious. She bears responsibility for Samson's severe injuries as well.
Another comment expressed: [Samson deserves it. He blindly protected Meghan, turning her into an ingrate, so he had it coming!
A viewer added: [It is fortunate that she didn't bring such injuries upon others. Samson is reaping what he sows!]
Someone wrote: [Don't die next to Evangeline. Such a bad luck!)
At this moment, the production team also had their attention on the screen, wearing frown.
The deputy director, Nehon Cooper, nervously asked, "Mr. Fowler, Samson might have a fever. Why haven't we sent someone to take him away? We could be in trouble if someone dies.
Dallas frowned and asked, "Is be that frail! The monkeys have been tested and found to carry no viruses or deadly bacteria. That's why we permit them to leave the mountain. Being scratched by them should not be fatal
Nelson replied, "If the wounds aren't treated properly, they can become infected and inflamed, eventually causing a fever. Additionally, not eating for so long weakens him, compromising his immune system. His body might struggle with the inflammation, and things could easily go downhill.”
After a prolonged silence, Dallas finally decided, "Alert the individuals in the forest to approach Samson cautiously and stay close. Once Evangeline leaves, discreetly remove Samson, making it appear as if he were taken by wild animals. The shooting will continue."

Nelson nodded and said, "Okay. I'll arrange for it now?"
In the Gallagher residence, Bethany, George, Edward, and Jasper were watching the livestream.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
They were worried when they saw Samson's state.
Bethany was so worried that she kept crying.
She complained, "This is crossing the line. The production team has gone too far. Sam is badly injured. Why haven't they sent someone to take him away for treatment? Do they want to see Sam die? If anything happens to Sam, I'll hold the entire production team responsible
Edward frowned and added, "Meghan went too far this time, using Sam as a human shield and taking off his clothes. Sam wouldn't be so severely Injured if she didn't do that"
Jasper rebuked indignantly, "Evangeline's actions were even more egregious. The monkeys she provoked sought revenge on Sam and the others because they couldn't match her. Yet, she remained selfish, refusing to share the food with Sam and ignoring him when she saw him lying there. She is too cold-blooded and heartless! Meghan, in contrast, acted out of fear, using him as a shield in a moment of panic!" Edward looked at Jasper and said. "Using fear as an excuse when she encountered the monkeys might be understandable. However, after that, she didn't show any concern for Sam when she saw him injured. When they exited the forest. Sam couldn't walk steadily, and she didn't offer him any assistance. It was Jolene who helped him. Now, she left on her own and didn't show any care for Sam. How do you intend to explain this!"
Jasper was rendered speechless.
He couldn't find any justification for Meghan's actions
George shouted with a sullen face, "That's enough! Meghan behaved like that because she had endured too many grievances. As her brothers, you should feel sorry and try to understand Meghan's hardships instead of accusing her."
Edward pursed his lips and stopped retorting
George cast a gloomy, angry gaze ar Evangeline's emotionless face in the live room. He exclaimed, "What an unfilial daughter! She even refused to help her brother when he fell ill. How can she compare with Meghan)"
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and instructed Edward, "Keep trying to contact the production team to ensure someone is sent to save Sam. We can't afford anything to happen to him!" Edward nodded and said, "Okay. I'll deal with it"
In the forest, Evangeline finished eating and incinerated the bones in the fire
After completing the cleanup of the scene, Samson remained lying motionless.
She frowned, wondering if he was dead.
After hesitating for a moment, she got up and approached Samson. She kicked him and said, "Hey, are you still alive?
Samson didn't move or respond to her..
Evangeline squatted down, opened his eyelids with her hand, and checked his eyes.
"His pupils are still responding. He's alive, thought Evangeline.
Evangeline reached out and pinched his wrist, quietly assessing his pulse.
After a moment, she let go of his hand and lifted his clothes to check his wounds.
Tsk. what a bother!" she remarked
Observing the numerous wounds on his body, she realized it wouldn't be easy to attend to them
She took the small medical kit out of her backpack.
Fortunately, she had everything prepared and brought some antiseptic and antibiotics, which the monkeys hadn't destroyed.
However, considering Samson's current situation, only the dine in her medicine kit would be helpful. His wounds were inflamed, and the medicine she brought was of line use.
Evangeline took out her flashlight and walked into the forest with a folding knife and an alpenstock.
After a while, she returned with a handful of fresh herbs.
She mashed the herbs with the pot she had brought,
Then, she approached Samson, ripped off his clothes, disinfected the wounds with iodine, and put the herbs on them.
After that, she left Samion lying on the spot, paying no attention to him, and hurried away to take a bath.
The monkeys attacked Samson and the others because of her, but it wasn't entirely ber fault. She had done everything she could to help him at this point. She wouldn't take any further action
A viewer commented: [Wow! Does Evangeline possess medical skills? I'm amazed by her knowledge of wild herbs. She's truly awesome, being such a clever and capable person. 1 love it!] Another wrote: [Evangeline was the one who helped him in the end. She's so generous ]
A comment read. If Samson assists Meghan in targeting Evangeline again in the future, Evangeline would be saving an ingrate!]
Another comment read: [Let's not get too excited. Evangeline might not be skilled in medicine. What if Samson succumbs to her actions! If you want to praise her, let's wait until Samson gets better! Someone wrote. Don't be misled by Evangeline's ghostwriters. She is selfish, only caring about herself and disregarding the team. This kind of person excels at betrayal and backstabbing its best to stay away and not be friends with them!]
A viewer commented: [Meghan's reaction is genuine. As a princess who grew up in a protected environment, losing her sanity after enduring hardships in the wild is understandable. She doesn't fully comprehend her actions. It's unfair to blame her.]
One wrote: [What the hell? What's going on? Why did so many comments condemning Evangeline and justifying Meghan's actions pop out Did the Gallagher family finally interfere with it?]
A viewer commented: [It's clear these are ghostwriters hired by the Gallagher family for Meghan. I advise against wasting money. People can discern the truth, and we won't blindly believe all the distorted facts you spread ]
Someone wrote: [What spell did Meghan cast on the Gallagher family? Why do they still protect her after she brought such misery to Samson?
Another wrote. Please write a book about it, Meghan, I want to learn it
Those people were indeed the ghostwriters arranged by Edward,
Unfortunately, with all that had happened, the tides wouldn't easily change due to the misinformation spread by the ghostwriters.
Especially with Meghan still causing trouble in the live room, it was challenging for her to alter the tide at this point.
Upon witnessing Evangeline cure Samson Dallas hastily contacted the staff in the forest, advising them not to take Samson away but to observe the situation closely.
If Evangeline's treatment worked and Sammon was getting better, there was no need to take Samson away.
If Samson continued to be motionless, they would have to discreetly rescue him without attracting any attention
After a shower, Evangeline found a place far away from Samson to sleep in the fores
Samson was left alone.
Soon, his chest heaved more visibly, and his breathing grow stronger.
The staff who were secretly observing could see his condition improving, so they stayed hidden, continuing to lurk for protection and observation
Meghan didn't come looking for Samson all night.
She only came to find him the next morning, wearing a displeased expression
Seeing Samson still lying on the ground, she pushed him hard,
"Sam, why are you still sleeping? Get up! Kendrick and the others have gone to look for food. You should do the same. If I don't eat anything, I will starve to death she demanded.
The push woke Samson.
He opened his eyes in a daze and sat up-
0
His clothes were gone, and there was something green on his body, resembling herbs,
He had a high fever before he fell asleep, and his body was in pain and exhaustion. Now, all those feelings disappeared, and he returned to normal.
It seemed that these herbs on his body had diminished the inflammation of his wounds, leading the high fever to subside.
Who
put these herbs on me? he wondered.
If it hadn't been for these herbs, he would have died.
"Meghan, who searched for these herbs and put them on me last night?" Samson asked while looking at Meghan
Meghan was dumbfounded by his claim. She looked down and noticed that Samson's body was covered with herbs.
She was near Kendrick and the others the night before and didn't witness their departure. They couldn't have found and applied these herbs to Samson, especially considering they lacked knowledge about
medicine.
Only Evangeline would be able to do it
Observing Samson's grateful eyes, she could tell he was appreciative of that person.
Meghan knew that if Samson discovered Evangeline was the one who saved him, he would support her in the future.
She couldn't let that happen.
Meghan his her lips and said, "What are you talking about? Who else would save you except me?"
