The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1116

Chapter 1116

Something did not feel right, so I walked over to take a look. I almost failed to stop myself from turning around and beating Elena up.

Perhaps she was the only person in this world who would treat an earthworm as a snake.

I took a deep breath and bent down to pick up the fruits that were scattered on the ground.

I swore to stay away from these two people in the future. Otherwise, I would be terribly unfortunate.

Theo bent down to pick them up with me. H e asked me while doing so, “Are you okay?"

I snickered. “I’m okay. I can still be strong and live on."

I was no fool. It was impossible that Elena could not distinguish an earthworm from a snake and was deliberately trying to frighten me so I would fall from the tree in shock.

If Theo had not caught me in time, then I would have ended up lying in the hospital for several days.

Elena looked chagrined. She walked up to Theo and spoke in a hushed voice, "Mr.

Grant, I didn't mean it. I've never seen a snake in real life. The earthworm looked quite long and similar to a snake, so I simply thought it was a snake."

Theo got up and said blandly, "It's time to g o back."

His tone was calm and did not sound like h e was upset.

Elena breathed a sigh of relief. "It's getting late. We really should be heading back."

The fruits that fell on the ground were covered in mud, but fortunately, they were not spoiled and could still be eaten after washing.

Theo and Elena each carried a bag of fruits. Only my hands were empty.

I looked at Elena and said faintly, “Let me carry it for you, Ms. Mandez."

Elena subconsciously handed it to me but suddenly thought of something. After glancing at Theo, she said with a smile, "It’s okay. You probably received a shock after falling from the tree. You should be resting.”

I pursed my lips. "It's okay, I’m not hurt anyway."

As soon as I said that, I took the bag from her hand.

Theo looked at me and frowned a little. " Give it to me."

I was stunned. "It's okay, I can carry it myself."

There was displeasure on his face, and his dark pupils stared fixedly at me while carrying hints of fierceness.

I was quite frightened by him, but before I could say anything, he stuffed his bag into my hand as well. He said a little angrily, "If you love carrying things so much, then carry all of them."

Before I could react, Theo had already taken Elena away.

I found his actions ridiculous. What did I d o to make him angry this time?

Was this man on his man period?

I felt deeply helpless and sighed softly, resigning myself to carrying the two bags o f fruits to the test site.

Although the two bags of fruits were a little heavy, it was still bearable.

Theo and Elena were not carrying anything, so they walked much faster than me. I was gradually left farther and farther behind.

As it had rained last night, the ground was muddy and there were puddles. It made it a little slippery to walk on, so I dared not walk any faster.

After walking for almost 300 feet, I felt like my fingers were about to snap. I wanted to rest in place for a while before I continued walking.

However, just as I was about to stop, I slipped and fell to the ground after losing m y balance. The place where I fell happened t o be a mud puddle.

Mud splashed all over me as the fruits in the bags spilled out once more.

I wanted to cry. I did not have a change of clothes.

After falling, I was overwhelmed with exhaustion. Since it had already happened, I simply lay in the mud puddle and was in n o hurry to get up.
