“Kevin, what do you mean by that!? Can you save my wife?” George said hopefully.Before Kevin could say anything, Lily grabbed him by the arm and quickly pulled him back. “Mr. Steel, please don’t misunderstand. Kevin doesn’t have any medical training.” Lily said in a panic.She was worried that George would ask Kevin to ask his wife.She had been married to Kevin for three years and she still didn’t know him that well but she knew that she’d never seen Kevin treat anyone. More importantly, Marine was George’s wife. They couldn’t risk dealing with that kind of family.“George, don’t worry.” Kevin started to say.But Lily interrupted him, “Kevin! Don’t be silly, please!” she was getting angry with her husband.“Don’t worry, Lily. I know what I’m doing.” Kevin said as he slowly patted her hand.Then he walked over to the man and asked him, “George, tell me. Did Marine eat anything in the woods?”Kevin had clearly noticed something yellow around Marine’s mouth.“Did she eat something?” Ge
As long as George wouldn’t hold it against them and Kevin could do what he wanted, they had no issues at all.Lily was stunned to hear this.Then she remembered how Ivy had trusted Kevin in the antiques shop even though she still had doubts about her husband and now George is trusting Kevin with his wife’s life even though he’d only known him for less than three hours.Lily had been married to Kevin for three years and still doubted him.“Maybe I really don’t understand him!” Lily thought to herself.Then George asked Kevin, “Now, what are we going to do with these plants?”Kevin took the plants from George’s hands and set them away as the doctor continued to treat Marine.“I need to go over to the chef’s station to make an herbal remedy that will help her recover more quickly.” Kevin said calmly.“You know how to make herbal medicine!?” George
George had been quiet until now because he didn’t want to risk distracting Kevin.He still had some doubts about the remedy and it will be awful to have it fail because he had interrupted Kevin.Nobody could believe that Kevin had made something that could Marine Steel just from plants that were going at the river side.Lily stared at Kevin in an amazement and seeing that this might just work, she finally relaxed a little.But it still bothered her that she didn’t know Kevin or trust him yet.Officer Helene walked over to him and asked him in disbelief, “So… you… you… really know how to make herbal remedies! Then you actually made that pill that you gave me!?”Kevin didn’t answer her right away.He just shrugged his shoulders and walked over to see how Marine was doing.Everyone was watching anxiously, wondering when she would show some signs that the herb was working.A
“What are you talking about, sis!?” Blake asked anxiously.“It’s way too dangerous in those woods.”A few of her family member agreed and tried to persuade her to stay where they were but Ivy didn’t pay any attention to them.She stared at Kevin with a determined look in her eyes.She didn’t care whether Kevin would make a big deal out of it or not.What was important was that she had to support him right now.The group tried to warn her not to go with him.One of them even said, “Just because he was lucky with some herbal drink doesn’t mean he knows what he is talking about. Stay here where it’s safe!”They all tried to stop her from going.Shane walked quickly up to Kevin and said loudly, “I know why you are doing this, Kevin! You know that your herbal pill isn’t going to help Marine so now you are trying to sneak out of here before George co
Soon, the five of them spilt into two groups and went into their respective tents but when Kevin entered the tent with Lily and Ivy, the atmosphere immediately got very awkward.“Kevin, why did you only bring two tents for the five of us!?” Lily asked as she started to blush.“Lily, I only have two hands! How many tents and backpacks do you want me to carry?” Kevin protested.“I…” Lily couldn’t think of what to say. She just felt it felt really inappropriate for the three of them to share a tent.Suddenly, there was another flash of lightning and thunder clap.It really gave Lily and Ivy a scare.“Looks like this rain storm is even worse than I expected.” Kevin said with a frown.“By the way Kevin, I’m curious. How did you know it was going to rain?” Ivy asked him after she came back to her senses.“Would you believe me if I told you that I als
The vine had gotten very slippery from all the rain and it took officer Helene a long time to climb to safety.Just as she was about to loose her grip, Kevin reached out and grabbed her arm.Then he managed to gather his other arm around her waist and helped her to the clearing.He’d saved her life!Seeing this, Shane who was still on the water suddenly shouted, “What are you doing, you son of a bitch!? Watch where you put your arms!”When Helene heard this she got very angry with her fiancée.Could he not see Kevin’s pure intentions?“What are you talking about, Shane? Just for that, you’ll be the last one out!” Kevin yelled.With George’s help, Kevin quickly pulled everyone to safety except for Shane.Kevin was still feeling the effects of his fight with the Cougar earlier that day and he felt waves of pain when his wound reopened from all his efforts.“Everyone, go up to the small clearing where we pitched our tents and don’t worry about the wild animals. They are smarter than some
When Kevin got down near the river, he looked down and finally found two trees that still had undamaged fruits.It looked like there were about twenty of them that survived.The night passed very quickly and everyone just found a place to place their heads in the woods.The next day, none of them were in the mood to play so the Blare family got a place with cellphone coverage to call some Limos to come pick them early.Kevin and Lily rode back with George, Marine, Ivy and a few others of the guests.After a few minutes, George asked Kevin, “My friend, tell me honestly. How do you make such good predictions!? You are like a prophet or something.”Marine who was getting a lot better also looked at Kevin with a lot of interest.“I wouldn’t go that far.” Kevin replied nonchalantly.“I only read a few books about these subjects when I was bored.”They were a couple of other with them in the Limo and they started whispering to each other, “Who does he think he is? He was just lucky!”But be
When Lily also heard Ivy volunteering very enthusiastically, she felt very uneasy. “I’ll get out too.” she said.Now, Shane’s group of friends was really disappointed.They continued to hurl insults at Kevin as he opened the door to get out.As they were stepping out of the Limo, Kevin turned around and said to Shane and others, “If you need any help later, don’t come crawling to me!”Shane shouted back, “C’mon! get out of here! We are trying to help some people and you are just running away. Who needs you!?”“Shane Blare, I want another car for us here in an hour.” George said seriously.“But, George… I…” before Shane could finish, George got out of the car.By now, George considered Kevin to be his brother.But how could he tolerate seeing this people mock Kevin all the time.He held back though because his wife was there.Out all the people who was taunting Kevin just now, Shane was the loudest and George was really tempted to make an example out of him.“I’m really ashamed that yo
