That hurts!

“Amelia, what are you doing?” Gianna shouted, her eyes red as tears started falling. Her voice shook. “You’re hurting me…”

Amelia stayed calm, grabbed the poisonous mushroom by its roots, and shoved it close to Gianna’s face. “Look closely. This is a fly agaric mushroom. It has a strong nerve toxin. If you eat it by mistake, you could hallucinate, vomit, or even die. Do you want to try?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an authority that made everyone quiet. The camera zoomed in on the mushroom’s red cap with white spots, making it look really scary.

The livestream chat exploded.

[Wow! Amelia reacted so fast!]

[Is Gianna really that clueless? She didn’t even recognize a poisonous mushroom? So dumb!]

[Come on, Gianna didn’t mean any harm.]

[Was Amelia overreacting? She’s being too harsh.]

[Stop defending her. Amelia already warned her, but she still touched it. That’s dangerous. Even touching it can be fatal.]

The atmosphere on set froze. The crew quickly sent someone over to check the mushroom.

A plant expert on the team confirmed. It was a deadly fly agaric. Eating it by mistake could be fatal.

Bella crossed her arms and sneered. “Some people will risk their life just to get on camera, huh?”

Kristina rolled her eyes. “Too dumb to even know it.”

Gianna’s face went from pale to red, tears welling in her eyes. “I–I just wanted to help. Amelia, why didn’t you tell me before?”

Amelia ignored her and turned to the crew. “There are lots of poisonous mushrooms around here. I suggest everyone stick together so nobody picks the wrong one.”

Huxley wiped his sweaty forehead and nodded quickly.

Who would have thought this reality show could get this intense?

The drama hit its peak!

Just then, a scream echoed from far away.

Everyone turned to see what had happened. The cameraman, Samuel Gray, was holding his ankle and collapsed on the ground. A snake slithered fast into the grass nearby.

“Oh my gosh! That’s a poisonous snake!” a crew member shouted.

The set instantly erupted into chaos.

Gianna screamed and stepped back. “Mr. Ford! This place is way too dangerous! Let’s get out of here!”

Kristina and the others looked scared, too.

But Amelia dashed forward. She crouched beside Samuel and checked his leg.

She quickly took a tourniquet from her backpack and tied it tightly around his ankle.

“It’s a banded krait. Extremely venomous,” she said calmly, her hands moving fast. “We have to act fast.” Huxley panicked. “Call the medical team! Now!”

“No time,” Amelia said, pulling out a small knife. She cut a cross on the bite. “Who has a lighter?”

Kristina, shaking. handed her one. Amelia sterilized the knife and began treating the bite. Her movements were precise and professional, leaving everyone stunned.

The livestream chat went wild.

[Amelia can handle snake bites, too?]

IIs this rich girl some kind of special forces?]

Wow! The way she stays calm while treating the wound is amazing!]

[She is like a walking encyclopedia!]

[Compared to her, Gianna just cries and complains. What a huge difference!]

By now, the livestream had reached a record high.

Ten minutes later, the medical team finally arrived, but Amelia had already finished giving first aid.

The doctor checked Samuel’s condition and was amazed. “That was perfect first aid. You gave us valuable time!”

Everyone on the crew started looking at Amelia differently.

Gianna was furious. How had she never known Amelia could do all this?

At home, Amelia seemed ordinary and often got outshone by her.

But now, after leaving the Nygards, she had become so capable.

The grass was thick here, probably full of snakes. No one wanted to go further, and they had already collected enough herbs, so the mission was complete.
