Chapter 418 As they spoke , the little snake lazily opened its eyes , glancing over at Freya and Selah .
It flicked its tongue at them , then began wriggling on Odalys waist , causing a commotion Ah , its real ! And it looks just like a giant python ! Selah screamed in shock .
Freya , who had a bit more courage , stared back at the snake , eye to eye .
Not just like one , she said , her voice a little shaky .
Its practically identical .
Could it be … the same one that bit Rafaels ass last night ? The memory of that gruesome scene flooded her mind .
She saw the snake slithering up Rafaels pant leg , heard him scream in agony as blood poured from his leg .
When he looked down , part of his flesh had been torn away , and the snake had still been hanging from him , flinging its tail at his face .
Freya grimaced at the vivid memory .
It was something she would never be able to forget .
Wait … could it be that one ? How did it end up on Odalys waist Selah stepped back , looking visibly repulsed Despite the snakes harmlessness , the mere presence of it made her skin crawl .
Odalys glanced down at the creature , unamused .
I told you not to cause trouble .
Youre scaring people now .
Fine , do your thing .
Go off and amuse yourself , she mustered , undoing the snake from her waist With a swift flick of her wrist , she tossed it into the air .
But instead of falling away , the snake made a sharp turn midair .
It shot straight at Freya , wrapping around her face .
Freya gasped , and before she could react , it jumped to Selahs neck , coiling tightly around her throat before rubbing its tail against her lips .
Before either of them could even scream , the snake whooshed away with a hiss , darting up into a tree , disappearing from sight .
Ah ! Did it just did it just flirt with me ? Selah wiped her lips frantically , her eyes wide in disbelief .
She felt the distinct , slippery sensation of the snakes tail against her mouth and shuddered .
It rubbed against my lips ! I … I cant believe this is happening! Her hand went to her neck where the snake had coiled around her .
The feeling of its body tightening around her throat had sent a chill of terror through her .
It was so tight , she genuinely thought it might be the end .
Arid and it sat on my face Freya exclaimed , completely stunned .
What just happened ? Was that a snake sitting on my face ! Her eyes were wide with a mix of horror and disbelief .
It was the first time shed ever been flirted with by a snake , and the experience was overwhelming to say the least Its harmless , Odalys said , her voice calm as she shrugged .
She reached over to gently reassure them , but Selah and Freya were still v visibly shaken .
Seriously , though , how did that snake end up here ? Selah asked , her voice tinged with curiosity but still shaking a little from the encounter .
Odalys nodded , her gaze a bit distant .
Its odd , isnt it ? Im not sure why its here .
Snakes usually prefer the wild , right ? That mountain vi ideal snake territory .
So why did it come here ! Could it be … it came for Rafael ? village its She turned to Freya , who was still wiping her face , and added , Maybe its just after him .
I wouldnt be surprised if its targeting him specifically I have no idea Odalys admitted , but if this snake came looking for me , then it likely sensed something maybe the giant python realized that if anything happens to it , it might not be able to protect its little one , so it sent it to me .
Odalys paused , her face thoughtful .
The giant python might be aware that s something is wrong .
It might be sensing danger .
Selah , still trying to make sense of it , asked , So what do we do ? The giant python is so smart .
If anyone tries to harm it , should we help it ? weve all dealt with it before , right ? We know it doesnt hurt people .
Freya nodded , eyes gleaming with concern .
Yeah , if its in danger , we should help .
Its never hurt anyone , and we owe if its in trouble .
we it to th to the creature to protect it Odalys shook her head gently .
For now , theres nothing to worry about .
The real issue is Henry .
We need to get him out of here , and then well have to bring Edie into the picture .
We need to make sure their conflict escalates .
With renewed determination , Selah and Freys quickly moved to drag Henry away .

There was a loud thud as his body landed unceremoniously , Hut , as his borly hung partially of the trunk , Selah gave his rear a swift kick to shove him in completely .
The sound of her kick echoed as Henry was fully shoved inside , and Freya slammed the trunk closed .
As they turned to walk away , they noticed Odalys standing there , wide eyed , her mouth slightly agape as she watched the scene unfold .
Freya immediately tried to explain .
Its not what you think ! Honestly , were very refined usually .
But , you know , we had to act quickly .
We didnt want anyone seeing us .
Selah , a little embarrassed , awkwardly adjusted her hair .
Yeah , I … I may have used more strength than necessary .
Now Im wiped out Odalys let out a light laugh , her expression filled with affection for her mischievous friends .
Alright , alright .
Dont act all innocent now You just wanted some excitement , didnt you ? Anyway , like you said , lets get him to Sophias room .
Selah and Freya bearned with excitement , eager to see their plan unfold .
Who could have imagined that an otherwise boring morning would into something so thrilling ? Meanwhile , they couldnt help but feel a bit of sympathy for Stellan and Francis , who had already arrived at the set that morning .
They had to shoot a complicated battle scene a horseback fight followed by an explosive war sequence so there was no room for fun for them today .
The two women smiled at the thought of teasing them later .
They had a little surprise waiting for Stellan and Francis when they arrived at the set tonight Lets go .
Freya said , giving a casual wave of her hand Selah slid into the passenger seat , and they sped off toward the hospital .
Odalys followed closely behind , a fond smile on her lips as she watched Freya take the wheel .
Freya followed closely behind in her car , making sure to stay hidden in the shadows as she arrived at Central Hospital .
The hospital , a subsidiary of the Lark Group , was the epicenter for all the healthcare facilities in Crownridge , and everything here belonged to the Lark family .
The moment Odalyss car arrived , the staff at the hospital recognized the license plate number instantly .
They opened the VIP access , allowing her car to park in a reserved spot , and as soon as they got out , they were ushered straight to the elevator Odalys , what brings you here all of a sudden ? Orson , panting heavily , ran over to them .
He was still wearing his white coat , pushing up his gold- rimmed glasses , but with a pair of beach shorts and flip flops that hadnt been swapped out yet .
Orson , come help us Freya called out , as she opened the trunk .
She and Selah struggled to pull Henry out of the trunk , but it seemed he was stuck , wedged awkwardly in there .
Upon seeing Orson , they immediately waved him over for help ..
Orson stood frozen staring at the figure in the trunk .
His body stiffened , and his lips trembled slightly as he stammered .
You killed him Hold on , Ill find something to dig a hole , Orson mumbled , his voice shaky .
Despite the panic , he seemed more concerned about the situation » secrecy .
If theyd really done something criminal , he wasnt about to snitch Come back here .
Hes not dead , we just knocked him out , Freya hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Orsons arm , forcefully pulling him back .
As they managed to flip Henry over , Selah revealed his face .
Orson looked down at him in surprise , recognition dawning on him as he stated at Henry for several long seconds How did you u end up with Henry ? Orson asked , his voice a mix of shock and curiosity .
