Chapter 292 Bloody Situation

• Stephanie couldn't just brush off the fact that she was hurt. She knew that once Xavier took a moment to cool off, he'd definitely notice Milly's severe injuries. Pretending she wasn't wounded would only lead Xavier to care for the badly hurt Milly, giving Milly a chance to survive — something Stephanie simply couldn't let happen.
• What if Milly spilt the beans and said that Stephanie was the one who had pushed her? Would Jordan and Grandpa look at her the same way? Stephanie realized this was her chance to get Milly out of the picture, ensuring she wouldn't be a problem.
• Thankfully, Xavier was still looking out for her. If she told him she was hurt and couldn't walk, Xavier, who cared about her, would ensure she got out first. With Milly unable to move because of her feet and bleeding badly from her hands, the blood smell would definitely draw in predators. Stephanie was playing a risky game, hoping that by taking her time with the rescue, Milly might either give in to her wounds or get taken down by some wild animals.
