Chapter 1430

Santiago felt like Xavier was the most opinionated and arrogant man he had ever met. "Have you ever asked Lei

what she wants? Who is the outsider here, you or me?" He approached Xavier angrily, wanting to take Leia from

him.

At that moment, Leia was feeling weak, and her lips were pale. She looked at them and groaned, "Can you two stop

fighting? I'm dying here! Hurry up... and get me to the hospital!" Too weak to hold on, she blacked out and lost

consciousness.

When Leia woke up, she found herself lying on a hospital bed. Both Xavier and Santiago were sitting in front of her

bed, and she could feel that the atmosphere between them was tense. However, the most important thing was that

she was alive.

"Lei, you're awake! Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water." When Santiago saw Leia open her eyes, his eyes lit up.

"Of course she's thirsty, she's been in a coma for two days! If you didn't talk so much, she'd be drinking water by

now," Xavier snapped as he handed Leia a cup of warm water.

Leia wanted to reach out and take the cup, but found that she couldn't move her right hand. She looked at her hand

in horror, realizing she couldn't feel it. "My... My hand..." Numerous possibilities dawned on her, and her face went

pale. Did the venom enter her bones and ruin her hand? Would it need to be amputated?

"Don't worry, your hand is okay. The numbness hasn't gone away because there's still venom in you," Santiago

comforted Leia gently.

"Oh, thank goodness... I was so scared." Leia breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that she could keep her hand.

Xavier carefully held the cup of water to Leia's lips for her to drink, and casually added, "Your hand could still be

amputated if the venom isn't out of your system in twenty- four hours, or if the venom enters your nervous

system."

"Pfft!" Leia spat the water out and gasped, "What... What did you say?" She stared at Xavier with wide eyes. She’d

rather die than have her hand amputated!

"Didn't I make myself clear? You need to take care of yourself because there's still venom in your body." Xavier put

the cup down and patted her head. He then huffed and scolded her, "You even cared so much about that

moonstone. Don't be so careless next time."

People said it was tiring to take care of children but Xavier felt that it was more tiring to take care of Leia after that

diving trip. He couldn't keep an eye on her at all, and she didn't even have the sense to keep her distance from the

corals that could be housing poisonous creatures. Of course, she would be bitten by the sea snake.

"Oh yeah, where's my moonstone? I want to give it to Ren. Did you take my moonstone?" Leia asked anxiously,

worried her efforts would have gone to waste.

Santiago pointed at a small box on the bedside cabinet and said dotingly, "Don't worry, I put it away for you. Your

hand will be okay after the snake venom subsides; you'll be fine."

Leia's condition wasn't very serious because she was rushed to the hospital in time, and most of the venom in her

body had already dissipated. There was only a small amount left around the bite mark, and it would only take a

one-hour surgery to get rid of the venom. On the bright side, she wouldn't have to amputate her hand.

Leia felt slightly calmer after hearing Santiago's words." Ugh... When is the surgery? I want to call Ren."
