Elaine had no idea what had transpired between them, nor was she interested in finding out. Holding the rabbit in her hand, she went to the riverside to prepare it. Miranda picked up a stone and forcefully hurled it at Elaine, who agilely dodged it. However, a few drops of water splashed onto Elaine when the stone landed in the river. Elaine retaliated immediately by picking up a stone and flinging it back at Miranda. "Ah!" The stone struck Miranda's wrist, causing excruciating pain and distorting her swollen face. Infuriated, she glared at Elaine and shrieked, "Elaine, how dare you throw a stone at me? You're evil, and you'll be damned!" Elaine snorted coldly. "You're the one who made the first move and provoked me. So, you should be prepared for my retaliation." "I didn't hit you, did I? Yet, you aimed for my wrist! It's in so much pain now that I can barely move it!" Miranda retorted angrily. Elaine replied, "You didn't hit me because I dodged it. You aimed for my body earlier. You're useless for not dodging it, and you deserve to be hit." Miranda seethed with rage, causing her to tremble. She glared fiercely at Elaine. "Yes, so what if I was aiming for your body and wanted to hurt you? You ruined us, after all! You offended the monkeys and made them seek revenge on us. They scratched us, threw things at us, and even tore off a lock of my hair! It's all your fault!" Although the others remained silent, their eyes conveyed unfriendly sentiments as they stared at Elaine. If they weren't aware of Elaine's fighting ability, they might have reprimanded her in the same way Miranda did. Astonishment was evident on Elaine's face. So it was the monkeys that caused their misery? Well done! With a half-smile, she said, "It's your problem for losing a fight to some monkeys, losers. You deserve to be beaten up by them." "You!" Miranda was so enraged that her chest heaved intensely. Elaine shot Miranda an indifferent glance. "If you continue babbling, I'll lure the monkeys here again." That instantly silenced Miranda. The way the monkeys attacked me was too painful. Besides, it was a mob attack. I never want to encounter monkeys again in my life! After cleaning the rabbit, Elaine gathered some firewood and started a fire. She then roasted the rabbit over the flames. The other five hungry people watched, but they dared not approach again to snatch the food. Snatching the food from Elaine was futile, and they would only endure more beatings. They had already made that mistake twice, and they wouldn't make it a third time. Miranda kept nudging Gavin with her elbow, saying plaintively, "Gavin, I'm starving. Please go talk to Elaine and ask her to give us some food. I can't take it anymore..." Hearing that, Gavin chuckled wryly and weakly replied, "It's useless. Elaine won't give us anything. Ahem, ahem..." As Miranda inhaled the tantalizing aroma in the air, she gulped, her voice filled with even more resentment. "If you can make something to eat for yourself, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state..." Gavin lay on the ground and stared blankly at the sky, his expression numb. When they encountered the troop of monkeys, Miranda pulled him in front of her to shield herself. She even took off his clothes to cover her head. Without anything to protect his body, it was easier for the monkeys to scratch him. His body was covered in bloody scars from their attacks. Yet, throughout it all, Miranda never expressed concern for him. Instead, she kept scolding Elaine and blaming her for offending the monkeys, which led to further attacks on the group. Miranda failed to realize that she was also at fault for using Gavin as a shield and removing his clothes, making him an easy target for the monkeys. Dizziness overwhelmed Gavin. He couldn't tell if it was due to hunger or if the wounds from the monkeys' attack had become infected. Either way, he wasn't in the mood to dwell on it. All he felt was an overwhelming wave of exhaustion that prevented him from thinking. Miranda and the three others didn't notice Gavin's abnormal state at all, as they were all fixated on Elaine's food. While Elaine ate the grilled meat, Miranda couldn't help but chew along, watching Elaine's every bite. Perhaps the sound of Miranda smacking her lips was too loud. Elaine paused and glanced at Miranda, then let out a mocking laugh. "How does the air taste?" Embarrassment flushed Miranda's face. Gritting her teeth, she responded, "Don't be too arrogant! Just wait until we leave this place!" After uttering those harsh words, she abruptly rose from her seat and made to leave, no longer willing to be treated like a laughingstock. However, due to her prolonged hunger and her sudden movement, her vision darkened for a moment, causing her to fall. It took her a while to regain her composure. Feeling even angrier, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand up again. She then turned around furiously and left. Xavier, Jett, and Janice got up and prepared to leave as well. Watching someone else eat while they couldn't eat anything themselves was torturous.They wouldn't suffer as much if they couldn't smell the aroma or witness others enjoying their meal. But being in such close proximity, where they could see and smell the food, was causing them immense suffering. We should go somewhere further away from here and spare ourselves this torment. They might have been so starved that no one noticed Gavin still lying on the ground. Elaine noticed him but didn't take it seriously. She continued eating the grilled meat. The netizens started commenting again: Is Gavin dead? The production crew is being too daring! He's already in that state, yet they're not sending anyone to save him? Netizen B: Although Gavin is foolish, he doesn't deserve to die, right? Netizen C: Gavin is severely injured, and he was attacked by wild monkeys. Who knows if he's infected with some kind of bacteria or virus? The production crew should hurry and save him! Netizen D: Miranda is so heartless. She's definitely to blame for Gavin's severe injuries. Netizen E: Gavin deserves this for blindly defending Miranda. He should suffer the consequences of her ungrateful behavior since he's the one who enabled it! Netizen F: Fortunately, it's not someone else who got hurt. Gavin brought this upon himself! Netizen G: What a disaster! He better not die in front of Elle! At this moment, everyone on the production crew was frowning behind the cameras. The assistant director, Daniel Ford, asked nervously, “Mr. Grisham, Gavin seems to have a high fever right now. Shouldn't we send someone to take him away? It'll be difficult to wrap things up if he dies...” James furrowed his brows tightly. “He shouldn't be that weak, right? The monkeys were tested and found to be free of viruses or deadly bacteria. That's why they were released into the wild. Getting scratched by them shouldn't be life-threatening.” Daniel explained, “But improper wound care could lead to infection and inflammation, which can cause a fever. Considering that he hasn't eaten for such a long time and is physically weak with a compromised immune system, it's a recipe for disaster.” James fell silent for a while and finally made up his mind, saying, “Notify the staff hiding in the forest to approach Gavin quietly. They should hide nearby and wait for Elaine to leave the area. Then, they can discreetly take Gavin away, creating a false impression that he was abducted by wild animals. Let the filming continue.” Daniel nodded. “All right. I'll make the arrangements right away!” Meanwhile, at the Grant residence, Yelena, Frederick, Yoel, and Quentin were all watching the livestream. They were all anxious when they saw Gavin's current state through the livestream. Yelena was so worried that she began to cry.“This is outrageous. The production crew has gone too far. Gav is already injured like that, but they still haven't sent someone to get him medical treatment. Are they trying to watch him die? If something bad happens to him, I'll hold the entire production crew responsible!” Yoel frowned. “Miranda is being unreasonable this time. She used Gavin as a shield and even exposed his injuries. He shouldn't have been hurt so badly.” Enraged, Quentin replied, “Elaine is even more unreasonable. She provoked the monkeys. The monkeys only attacked Gavin and the others because they couldn't get to her. Yet, she's still selfish and doesn't give Gavin any food. Not only that, but she also doesn't care about him even after seeing him lying there. She's heartless and cold-blooded! Miranda only used Gavin as a shield because she was shocked and panicked!” Hearing that, Yoel looked at Quentin and said, “When she encountered the monkeys, it's understandable that she was frightened. However, her behavior afterward, especially her lack of concern for Gavin when he was injured and her failure to assist him when he was unsteady while leaving the forest, is indeed perplexing. It was Janice who helped Gavin out of the forest. Just now, she also left the forest on her own without caring for Gavin. How do you explain that?” Quentin was left speechless. He couldn't find any excuses to defend Miranda any further. With a dark expression, Frederick shouted, “That's enough. Stop arguing! Miranda has been through so much injustice, and her mind is in turmoil, which is why she's behaving this way. As her brother, you should sympathize with and understand how difficult it is for her, instead of blaming her!” Yoel pursed his lips and didn't respond. Frederick's eyes darkened as he looked at Elaine's distant expression in the livestream. His face turned furious. “This ungrateful child. She's not even helping her brother when he's fallen ill. How can this heartless woman be compared to Miranda?” After taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger and ordered Yoel. “Keep trying to contact the production crew. Make sure they send someone to save Gavin. Don't let anything happen to him!” Yoel nodded. “All right. I'll do that right away.” Inside the forest, Elaine tossed the bones into the fire after finishing her meal. After cleaning up the scene, she noticed Gavin was still lying motionless in the same spot. She furrowed her brows. Is he dead? After a moment of hesitation, she got up and walked over to Gavin, then gave him a kick. “Hey, are you still alive?” Gavin remained motionless and didn't react at all. Seeing that, she squatted down and opened his eyelids to check his eyes. His pupils haven't dilated yet. He's not dead. She then reached out to quietly check his pulse. A moment later, she let go of his hand and pulled up his shirt to examine his wounds.“Tsk. What a hassle.” There were numerous wounds on his body, which would be troublesome to take care of. Elaine took out a small medical kit from her backpack. Fortunately, she was well-prepared. She brought some antiseptic solution and external injury solution. Coincidentally, these items were destroyed by the monkeys. But looking at Gavin's current state, only the iodine solution in her medical kit was useful. His wounds were already inflamed, so her other medicine wasn't effective in this case. Holding a flashlight, a pocketknife, and a trekking pole, Elaine ventured into the forest. Before long, she emerged from the forest with a bunch of fresh herbs in her hand. Using a pot she brought along, she crushed the herbs. Next, she returned to Gavin's side and ripped off his shirt. Before applying the herbs to his wounds, she briefly disinfected the wounds using some iodine solution. After completing the steps, she let Gavin continue lying on the ground and didn't speak to him anymore. Then, she went to a distant area to take a shower. It was partially her fault that the monkeys attacked Gavin and the others. However, she couldn't be solely blamed for it. She had already shown enough kindness and mercy by tending to Gavin's wounds. It was impossible for her to help them any further.Netizen A commented: Wow! Elle has medical skills too. She can even identify wild herbs! How impressive! I admire intelligent and capable people! Netizen B wrote: I didn't expect Elle to be the one taking action in the end. She's so generous. Netizen C: If Gavin continues to side with Miranda against Elaine, it'll seem as if she really saved an ungrateful person! Netizen D: Let's not rush to conclusions. Elaine may not have medical skills. What if Gavin was harmed by her "treatment?" If you want to praise her, do so after Gavin has recovered! Netizen E: Don't be misled by Elaine's ghostwriters. She is selfish and only cares about herself, not the team. This kind of person is good at betraying and backstabbing others. It's best to keep your distance from them! Netizen F: Miranda's reaction is genuine. She grew up in a sheltered environment and is now facing hardships in the wilderness, causing her to become mentally unstable and lost. We can't blame her. Netizen G: What's happening? Why are there suddenly so many comments scolding Elaine and defending Miranda? Has the Grant family started taking action? Netizen H: Anyone with discernment can see that those are ghostwriters hired by the Grant family to defend Miranda. They should stop wasting their money. We can think for ourselves and won't believe distorted facts. Netizen I: What has Miranda done to bewitch the Grant family? She was already in such a state and caused Gavin so much suffering. Yet, the Grant family is still protecting her?Netizen J: Miranda, please write a book! I really want to learn from you! Those were indeed the ghostwriters arranged by Yoel. Unfortunately, now that the situation had spiraled out of control, hiring ghostwriters to mislead the public couldn't easily reverse the online discourse. Especially when Miranda was still causing trouble in the livestream. There was no way for her to redeem herself this time. Upon seeing Elaine taking action and treating Gavin's wounds, James quickly contacted the staff in the forest, instructing them not to take Gavin away. Instead, they should secretly observe the situation. If Elaine's treatment proved effective and improved Gavin's condition, there would be no need to move him. However, if Gavin remained motionless, they should find an opportunity to quietly take him away without alerting anyone else. Inside the forest, after Elaine had showered, she found a secluded spot far away from Gavin to rest. Out of sight, out of mind! Gavin lay alone in the same spot; the rise and fall of his chest intensified, and his breathing gradually grew stronger. The staff, who were covertly observing Gavin, could see that he was getting better. They refrained from approaching him and continued to protect and observe him from a hidden position.Throughout the entire night, Miranda did not check on Gavin. The next morning, she finally sought him out, wearing an unhappy expression. Looking at Gavin, who was still sound asleep on the ground, she forcefully pushed him. "Gavin, why are you still sleeping? Wake up! Jett and the others have gone to look for food, and you should do the same. I'll starve if I don't eat soon!" Gavin woke up groggily and sat up from the grass. His clothes had been removed, and his body was covered in a greenish substance, which appeared to be herbs. Before losing consciousness, he had a high fever and felt pain and weakness throughout his body. Now, those sensations had disappeared, and he felt normal again. It seems like the herbs applied to my body have eased my inflamed wounds. That's why my fever has subsided. Who applied these herbs for me? If it weren't for them, I would've died here. Gavin looked at Miranda and asked, "Miranda, who found the herbs and applied them to me last night?" Miranda was taken aback, realizing that Gavin's body was indeed covered in herbs. Last night, I stayed close to Jett and the others. I didn't see them leave their spot, so it couldn't have been them who found the herbs and helped Gavin. Besides, they don't have any medical skills.In that case, it must have been Elaine... Judging from Gavin's hopeful eyes, Miranda could tell that he was extremely grateful to the person who helped him. If Gavin knew it was Elaine who saved him, he would definitely side with her in the future! I can't let that happen! Biting her lip, Miranda spoke softly, "What are you talking about, Gavin? Who else could have saved you besides me?"
