Chapter 765 Your Luck
Natalie knew that she might be facing endless troubles if she were to stick her nose in someone else’s business.
However, she could not bring herself to ignore someone who was injured. After just a few seconds of hesitation, Natalie was already walking toward the bush. Indeed, she spotted a man lying on the patch of grass, a bloody hole in his abdomen. The red liquid was still rushing outward.
Without dwelling on the sight, Natalie crouched down and held his wrist, trying to take his pulse.
Nevertheless, before she could give him an examination, the man’s hand wrapped around her throat.
“What… are you trying to do?” The man’s voice was weak, but Natalie could still hear his frigid tone.
“I’m trying to save you.” Natalie’s cold eyes met the man’s. “It’s up to you to believe it or not, but if you keep bleeding, you’ll eventually die here. I’d say it’s best for you to think this through and not risk your life.”
He had his hand around the woman’s throat, but she was still calm and collected. It was something the man was surprised about.
After a moment of rumination, the man slowly released his grip and lowered his hand. “Can you really… treat me?”
“You’ll know.” Natalie put her hand on the man’s wrist again. Then, she frowned. Not only was the man suffering from blood loss, but it seemed like there was poison in him as well.
“You’ve been poisoned.” It was not a question but a statement.
The man stiffened, but still, he nodded. “Yes.”
“Don’t move,” Natalie sternly told him.
She then began to undo the buttons on the man’s clothes.
“W-What are you doing?” It seemed like the man never expected Natalie to do such a thing to him, for he began taking shorter and quicker breaths.
Natalie pursed her lips in silence. After giving him an eye roll, she ignored him. Then, she rolled up the hem of her pants to reveal her fair legs. In the next second, she took out a silver needle from the pouch she had around her calf which contained her crystal needles.
Before the man could respond to that, Natalie began inserting the needles in the acupoints on the man’s body swiftly and accurately.
Once she was done, she took out a small bottle from her pocket and shook out a pill. As she held it by the man’s lips, she said, “Are you going to eat it, or shall I keep it?”
When the pill was close to his nose, he could smell the strong scent of herbs coming from it. The man could tell that the pill was no ordinary medicine even by the scent alone. Once he thought about his situation and how he wanted to live, he told himself that the woman might be his only chance of coming out of the situation alive.
“I’ll eat it.”
Upon noticing the man lowering his guard, Natalie shoved the pill into his mouth.
Not long after he swallowed it, a warm current seemed to flow into the limbs of his numb and cold body. As a matter of fact, the injury he had on his abdomen even felt less painful.
Dozens of minutes later, Natalie began removing the needles.
As he had poison flowing in him, the tips of her crystal needles were black.
When the man saw Natalie’s swift actions and her attractive face, his heart skipped a beat.
“Thank you.”
Natalie then patted the dust off her clothes before standing up from the ground. “This is all I can help you with. As for whether or not you can flee from your nemesis will depend on your fate.”
The man smiled and nodded. “If I survive this, I definitely will return the favor. Can you tell me what your name is?”
“It isn’t important.” Natalie narrowed her eyes. “Saving you was just a coincidence; I never thought of asking you to return your favor. Even if a dog or a cat was lying here, I’ll still save its life. Furthermore, whether or not you survive this is entirely up to your own good luck, not me.”
