Chapter 297
Kalilah was in shock.
Faith, with a face mask on, strolled over. Stretching her neck, she asked, "Can you eat them?"
Chloe chuckled, "These aren't just any eggs. These eggs belong to the rattlesnakes."
In the livestream chat:
[Why is Faith such a foodie? She's only interested in whether it's edible]
[Rattlesnakes! If they bite you, you get two bumps: one on your body and one on the mountain]
[I heard these snakes are super protective of their eggs. They can track you by scent for up to thirty miles. Kalilah is so doomed]
That freaked Kalilah out completely. Her hand shook, and the rattlesnake eggs on the banana leaf fell to the ground, landing on her shoes. Terrified, she stomped her foot, smashing the eggs into a mushy mess.
Chloe frowned, "Kalilah, what are you doing?"
Kalilah had already taken several steps back, her arms crossed and a look of disgust on her face.
Chloe said, "You were supposed to return those eggs. Now, the mother snake will track the scent here. Do you want a snake watching you from your bedside tonight?"
Kalilah turned pale with fear. Almost reflexively, she snapped, "Chloe, why didn't you tell me sooner? Were you trying to kill me?"
Chloe looked exasperated.
[Is Kalilah out of her mind? Chloe was trying to save her, and she accuses her of trying to kill her]
[Kalilah just panicked. If those snakes are that dangerous and the eggs shouldn't be destroyed, Chloe should have handled it earlier. It's a natural reaction.]
[It's not that serious. I've seen these eggs before used to cook and eat them until someone told me they were rattlesnake eggs that could track me by scent. They suggested I hide in Texas for a while. As if I'd be scared!]

[Rattlesnakes are highly venomous. Usually, their bite is nearly fatal. I've learned to make herbal remedies from my elders and have treated over a dozen rattlesnake bites with zero complaints. Everyone survived.]
[Oh no, what about Kalilah? Production team, is she not filming anymore?]
Meanwhile, Kalilah was scared half to death. She seemed to snap back to reality. "Chloe, what do we do now? You must have a plan, right?" Chloe's expression was calm, her tone indifferent. "First, bury these eggs somewhere far away. Then, go wash thoroughly at the beach. Change out of your clothes and shoes, and get rid of them."
Kalilah was not pleased. "Do I have to deal with these eggs? Won't that make my scent even stronger?"
She stared at Chloe with a pleading expression. "Chloe, you seem so professional. Help me out, will you? I'm scared."Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Chloe, however, took a step back. "Don't come any closer. I'm scared, too."
Because of Chloe's movement, everyone else also stepped back. Kalilah saw everyone look at her like she was a virus and was furious.
Barrett spoke up, "Kalilah, clean up your own mess. Don't drag us down with you."
Kalilah was livid but had no choice.
She began to pick up the pieces with trembling hands. However, when burying the eggs, she found one intact little rattlesnake egg. A thought flashed through her mind.
She carefully wrapped the egg in a leaf and took it with her.
'Chloe, don't blame me. I don't want to die. If anyone's to blame, it's your bad luck. If a snake really does show up, I'll just send it your way,' Kalilah thought.
