Chapter 394
Joana woke up to the shocking news that she was getting shipped back to land. She thought it was the medical team from the show that saved her
But when she heard it was Astrid who saved her, she was taken aback.
She paused for a moment before saying, “Mr. Maddox, are you joking? Astrid doesn’t know anything about medical stuff, plus we’re not exactly friends. Why would she save me?”
“There were tons of people watching, and everyone on TV saw it too. Astrid did save you! If you’re not grateful, at least stop bad–mouthing her. Enough said, let’s get her out of here!” Maddox sighed. If he hadn’t owed a big favor to a sponsor, he wouldn’t have agreed to let Joana participate in this season’s filming.
Joana insisted, “Mr. Maddox, I’m really okay, really…”
Maddox said, “Bernice will be here first thing in the morning to take over your filming. You just rest up.”
With that, Joana was whisked away.
She was crying and making a fuss, even taking it out on the medical staff.
But none of that worked. She was sent onto the boat in the end.
Back in the cave, Astrid and the others were happily eating the snake meat after handling everything.
Parrish was staring at Astrid with his bowl, for quite a while.
Until Elio sat down between them with his own bowl, Elio turned to Astrid, a hint of jealousy in his voice, “Are you and that guy named Keen close?”
“Hmm.” Astrid nodded. We were medical school buddies.”
“Just buddies?” Elic asked again.
Astrid said, “Maybe a little more than that.”
When she finished, Astrid clearly felt the temperature drop a bit.
The viewers watching Elio’s slightly jealous and unhappy expression were laughing their heads off.
