The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 693

Alex was stunned speechless by the sudden kiss. Even with Beatrice’s affection for him, he still didn’t feel a hint of joy at all. He knew this woman too well, especially with the countless things she said to him last year. She even whacked his head with socks for no less than ten times. He knew her very well. If he were to truly fall in love with her, he felt that his life would be shortened by multiple years. He couldn’t help but think, ‘If I were to disclose my identity as Alex Rockefeller, the person she had so desperately wanted to divorce Dorothy, would she turn into a fool from shock?’ Smack! Alex landed a slap on her thigh and said coldly, “This is the first and last time. I’m a married man and faithful to my wife. If you ever try to do something like this again, I’ll leave you here and let you go your own way.” Beatrice’s thigh hurt but her heart hurt even more, as if she had been splashed by a bowl of cold water. Aggrieved, she said, “Sorry, Mask. I just… Wanted to express my gratitude, I didn’t mean anything else.” Alex said, “It’s better this way.” However, after a while, Beatrice squirmed behind his back. The intense body contact had fanned a flame inside his body. Upset, he said, “What are you doing?” Beatrice hesitated, her face flushed with embarrassment. She said, “I… I need to use the restroom badly. Is there any restroom around here?” Alex said, “This is a primitive island, and there are not many restrooms around. There’s no one else anyway, so just finish your business on the road!” He put her down. Beatrice limped as she walked toward a bush. However, she dared not go too far away from their location. The moonlight lit his silhouette, giving her a sense of security. Soon after, Alex heard the sound of water discharge… Then, he also went to the other side because he had the urge to go as well. When Beatrice saw Mask peeing on the other side, her face flushed red in that instant. Her heart raced wildly as various thoughts flashed through her mind. At this moment, her urine suddenly disturbed a sleeping snake. The snake had a grayish black body. Since it was disturbed by humans, it probably felt very annoyed. It could sense the heat from Beatrice’s body and bit it. “Ouch!” Beatrice felt immense pain. She hurriedly reached out and touched the origin of pain. As a result, she felt the cold, rough skin of a long snake. It was biting and holding onto her! “Ahh!” Beatrice jumped like a lunatic, trembling in fear. Even her face had turned paled. She couldn’t care less about her pants and ran towards Alex in a panic. “Help! Mask, help! There’s a snake. Aargh!” Most women were afraid of snakes. Beatrice was even more terrified. Alex was taken aback for a brief moment. He had yet to react to the situation but Beatrice had already jumped onto him. “F*ck!” He was dumbfounded. He was just peeing halfway, how could he stop at this time? “Snake, snake. I was bitten by a snake. It’s still biting my bottom now!” She trembled as she burst into tears uncontrollably. It was probably the most horrible thing that she had encountered in her life. She even had goosebumps all over her body. In fact it was even more terrifying than the female ghost she saw earlier. Finally, Alex was done with his business. Then, he turned around to settle Beatrice’s problem, only to see that snake had already let go of her and fallen to the grassy ground, hastily escaping. Alex’s eyes glistened as he could see things well at night. At a glance, he could see the figure of the snake clearly, it looked like a wilted branch, with a triangular head and its cheeks were particularly obvious. It was a viper, also known as Deinagkistrodon and extremely venomous. Alex dared not hesitate for a second, he hurriedly leaped away with Beatrice on his back, escaping the grassy land. They came to a bare, rocky land without any grass. “It’s Deinagkistrodon. It’s venomous. Tell me, where’s the bite?” Alex hurriedly asked after quickly putting Beatrice down
