Deadly Doting Marriage Novel - Chapter 402
Chapter 402: John Kept His Promise
John opened the porcelain bottle and poured out a single pill. He immediately ate it.
At this moment, Jerry felt the poisonous snake behind him getting closer and closer to him. His body stiffened, and he urged, “Hurry up and get rid of the poisonous snake behind me!”
“Sure.”
At the same time, a sharp branch in John’s hand flew out and accurately pierced into the poisonous snake, taking its life.
The crisis was temporarily averted.
Jerry did not have to be bitten to death by the poisonous snake anymore.
John also detoxified the poison, so he did not have to worry about the poison acting up.
The heavy rain was still falling.
“We can’t keep getting drenched in the heavy rain, right?” Jerry asked.
“You carry me on your back and find a place to hide.”
John refused.
He told Jerry, “Who knows where we can hide from the rain? What if something else happens before we find it?”
“My leg is injured as well.”
“How far can we walk with just one leg, dragging a cripple like you?”
Jerry felt that he had been deceived. “You’re injured and only have one leg left. Just now, you actually boasted shamelessly that you wanted to protect my life?”
“Can you?”
John did not argue.
He just told Jerry, “You can believe it, or you don’t need my protection anymore. It will save me a lot of energy and prevent me from being dragged down by you.”
He had to believe in John.
After a while, he could only lie on the ground. Under the heavy rain, Jerry, whose body was soaked in the rain, said again, “So we are just going to stay here in the rain?”
“Don’t think you can bully me just because I can’t see you!” He could guess that John was definitely not as miserable as him!
In fact, that was indeed the case.
Unlike him, he still had one leg. He had already jumped and sat on a wooden stake.
The wooden stake should have been left behind by the residents who lived near the bottom of the cliff.
John sat on it and effectively avoided being soaked in the rain. He also found a broken branch. The branches could block some of the rain.
He looked at Jerry and said, “As long as you can live.”
He meant that as long as he could live, he should not have too many other demands.
Jerry was furious.
His entire body was in so much pain that he could not move. He could only stay in the rain and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be washed away?”
“If I’m washed away and die, won’t you going back on your word?”
John said, “You won’t die.”
He told Jerry, “When I brought my wife and children out to play, I checked the weather. The forecast didn’t predict this rain at all.” “Now that there’s a sudden heavy rain, it probably won’t last long.”
“Wait a little longer. It should stop.” John’s guess was indeed correct.
The torrential rain continued for another half an hour. When the puddle of water Jerry was sitting in was about to drown Jerry, it finally stopped.
Jerry said, “Pull me out!”
His entire body was soaked in the rain. As soon as Jerry opened his mouth to speak, the dirty rainwater poured into his mouth, making him drink several mouthfuls of rainwater.
John felt sorry for him.
Finally, he broke off the branches that he had previously used to block the rain and turned them into crutches that he could rely on. He stood up from the wooden stake.
With the crutches in hand, he hopped to Jerry’s side with one leg and forcefully pulled him out of the low-lying area filled with rainwater.
The heavy rain had stopped.
However, it was not an easy walk. Moreover, the mountain was massive. The area under the cliff was also scary, so they had to move carefully.
Therefore, although Shane and Karl had started the search immediately, they could not find any trace of John.
As time passed, the dark night was gradually replaced by day.
It was daybreak.
The air at the bottom of the cliff was excellent because of the heavy rain last night.
At this time, the wild beasts living at the bottom of the cliff had also started to come out from their caves to hunt. If they continued to stay in the same spot, it would undoubtedly be very dangerous.
However, if they left..
John had already lost a leg.
His prosthetic leg was gone when he fell from the cliff. Moreover, his amputated leg had been stabbed by the sharp trees. After being soaked by the heavy rain last night, it was already inflamed.
John also had a fever.
As for Jerry, who was on the ground, his injuries were more serious. He was no different from a dead body.
It was not easy to leave this place.
However, he had to leave!
Fortunately, John found the dagger that Jerry had used before. Coincidentally, the dagger fell not far from where they had fallen.
John picked up the dagger.
He found a plank on the cliff and cut some vines with the dagger. Then, he used the vines and the plank to make a simple pulling cart.
He let Jerry lie on the wooden board, and John pulled Jerry along as they walked along the bottom of the cliff.
The road at the bottom of the cliff was muddy and difficult to walk on after the rain. With one leg, John supported himself with a walking stick and tried to pull Jerry, who was lying on the wooden board, with all his strength.
He fell several times.
Jerry had hated John for killing Sherri, using him as a meat cushion, and for letting him lie in the rain.
John fell, again and again, trying to pull him along.
He still did not leave him behind. He was still trying to pull him along.
All of his feeling toward John had disappeared! All that was left was respect and gratitude!
Jerry was a gangster, and he killed countless people! He dreamed of becoming the leader of the Seven Stars sect. For this, he even killed his uncle, whom he had always admired.
In the end, he created a new Seven Stars sect. Although his Seven Stars sect was destroyed, he still remembered the importance of loyalty.
Jerry admired all men who kept their word! He was grateful to John for not abandoning him in such a difficult situation.
John did it. He did not abandon him!
“John, if I can really leave this place alive, all the grudges between you and me will be written off.
I’m even willing to be your underling from now on.”
“I’ll listen to your orders and follow your lead!”
Jerry spoke from the bottom of his heart.
He knew about John because Sherri had told him about John.
Jerry had thought that John was just an ordinary businessman. However, he gradually realized that John was very powerful. He was far more than just a simple businessman..
