Chapter 195 A Small Voice Calling for Help
Right now, all of Amelia’s thoughts were on Nina.
She just wanted to hear news about Nina.
Nothing else mattered to her.
Amelia was burning with anxiety, one hand unconsciously clutching Benjamin’s tightly.
She asked nervously, “Benjamin, do you think Regina would hurt Nina?
“Nina must be scared and crying.
“If she cries and Regina gets annoyed, what if she hurts her?”
Amelia had already imagined a bunch of scenes where Nina got hurt.
The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became.
Seeing her like this, Benjamin pulled her straight into his arms, his big hand holding her shoulder as he soothed her in a low voice.
“Nina will be fine. Amelia, have you forgotten? She didn’t dream this time.”
Benjamin’s comfort eased Amelia’s heart a little.
But Amelia was still very scared.
Freya, sitting on Amelia’s other side, felt her own heart ache seeing her so panicked.
She offered comfort too. “Amelia, don’t be afraid. We’ll see Nina as soon as we get there.
“Nina is a very lucky baby. She’ll be okay.”
Freya took Amelia’s free hand, tears pricking at her eyes once more.
She really wanted to hug Amelia, wanted to say so many things to her.
But right now, all those words turned into comfort for Amelia.
She needed to calm Amelia’s emotions first.
As for her own feelings, they weren’t important for the moment.
Freya’s reach for comfort made Amelia pause for a second.

But before they even arrived, in that windowless room, Regina was already down on the floor.
It was that snake, Whitey, that bit her.
Whitey didn’t dare bite Nina, so it took out its anger by biting Regina instead.
After biting Regina, it tried to bite Jimmy, too.
Luckily, Nina’s chubby little hand locked its throat just in time. “No bite.”
Nina’s plump hands gripped the cobra, her baby voice serious as she said, “Jimmy good… No bite.”
The cobra didn’t dare fight back, even though she grabbed it.
It hissed a couple of times grudgingly, then draped itself around Nina’s neck.
Regina couldn’t move anymore after the snake bite.
Nina couldn’t untie the ropes on Jimmy, so she had to go outside for help with the snake around her neck.
“Help! Save me!”
Nina’s two little hands were still tied.
The tender skin on her wrists had rubbed raw.
But she ignored the pain right now, toddling on her short legs out the door to find grown-ups.
This area was pretty remote. When someone passed by and heard Nina calling for help, they started walking over-but then they saw the snake on her.
After that, screams rang out, and no one dared come close.
Someone finally worked up the nerve to call 911, their hands shaking.
The firefighters arrived fast-just a few minutes.
By then, Nina had waddled all the way to the road across the street.
She wanted to keep going, but the firefighters stopped her.
The firefighters were shocked beyond words. “Little kid, don’t move. Absolutely don’t move. I’m

coming to save you right now.”
Nina recognized the firefighters’ uniforms.
She also knew fire trucks.
Seeing the uncles coming, Nina pointed at the truck excitedly. “Fire truck!”
The firefighters couldn’t smile along with her grin.
This was way too scary.
The snake on Nina was a highly venomous one!
The firefighters’ scalps tingled with nerves.
They inched closer to Nina bit by bit, trying to get the snake off.
Not far away, a swarm of SWAT officers was rushing in.
One firefighter noticed the movement and mentioned it.

But the fire captain, wearing thick gloves and ready to grab the snake, wasn’t interested in that at all.
