Chapter 504 You Will have No Chance to Rob Me of My Man (1/2)

With eyes fluttered shut, Jacob's lips had turned blue in his pasty colored face. Clearly he had become poisoned after sucking the venom from her wound.

Anxiously she patted his face to try and wake him up. However, nothing worked and he remained unresponsive. Terrified, she began crying.

But she realized that she had to remain calm. There was no-one to help them, and it was up to her.

She had to take Jacob back!

Emily struggled to help him up and pull him onto the back of the cow. But weakened by the poison as she was, she lacked the strength to move him effectively and almost dropped him to the ground.

The normally docile old cow, however, didn't understand what was going on, and was somehow scared by Emily's movement. It suddenly bolted forward, ripping the rope from her hands and running off.

”Come back!” She knew that without this cow, there was no way in which she could take Jacob back to the village for treatment. On foot it would take too long and he had no time to waste!

She set him down and ran after the old cow. It stopped at the edge of a cliff as she chased it.

”Do not run!” Breathlessly she roped the cow and patted its head, pleading with the animal, ”Come back quickly with me now.”

”Moo,” The cow made a noise, as if wanting to tell her something.

Emily didn't take it seriously. When she tried to lead it to turn around, suddenly there was an extra force behind her which gave her a hard push.

”Ah!” Emily screamed as she fell over the edge of the cliff, with no way to stop her forward momentum. The empty valley echoed with her fearful scream!

In her place stood the woman who had pushed her forward. She looked casually over the edge of the precipice and smiled in satisfaction when she saw no sign of Emily.

”The short-lived competitor, you will have no chance to rob me of my man.”

Cherry's lip curled into a malicious arc, and she took up the rope to lead the old cow over to the collapsed Jacob.
