Chapter 1261: 324: A discerning eye identifies the pearl!_3 Chapter 1261: 324: A discerning eye identifies the pearl!_3 Viola laughed as she picked up Little Red from the ground and turned to walk towards Mary, “Mom, this snake is very personable, it won't bite. You don't have to be afraid!”
Mary, seeing Viola casually clutching the snake in her hand, felt even more terrified, tugging tightly at Edward's clothes, “Viola, snakes are cold-blooded animals, quickly kill it!”
Such a poisonous snake could potentially kill someone before they could even find the appropriate antivenom.
“Mom, this is Bella's pet, it really won't bite! Look if you don't believe.” As she spoke, Viola placed her fingers in front of Little Red.
Little Red only stuck out its tongue, without attempting to bite her.
Mary swallowed hard, thinking she must be hearing things, “Viola, did you say this is Bella's pet?!”
Although she had only met Bella that afternoon.
But Bella had concluded Mary was her future mother-in-law, so the two of them had become fast friends.
Moreover, Mary felt there was a bond between them, and they had a lot to talk about together.
Viola nodded subtly.
“Yes.”
Hearing this.
Brandon, who had rushed up from the first-floor hall, was also stunned.
Bella kept such a thing as a pet?
Her courage was not the least bit ordinary!
Bella stood next to Brandon. Seeing this scene, she felt a little awkward. She walked over to Mary with a smile, “Aunt, sorry to have scared you!”
Mary was perplexed, “Why on earth do you have a snake as a pet?”
Bella looked at Viola.
Viola's lips moved slightly.
It was sign language.
Only Bella could understand instantly, “Well Aunt, I am a pharmacist and often have to do research on snake venoms and insect antidotes. Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. That's why I have domesticated a snake. Oh, its name is Little Red, it's very gentle, if you don't believe me you can touch it.”
Having said that, Bella extended the snake towards Mary.
Mary was so scared that she almost passed out on the spot!
“I, I think I'll pass.”
Viola walked in front of Mary, “My mom is scared of cold-blooded invertebrates.”
Bella quickly put Little Red away, “I'm sorry, Aunt!”
“No problem, no problem.” Mary laughed, “I never would have thought that Bella, you were so brave!”
Bella put the snake back into its glass box, securing the lid, “Actually, I was scared at the beginning, but the longer I kept them, the less scared I became.”
Shifting her gaze, Mary spotted two large scorpions in the corner, “Are those also your pets?”
Although Mary didn't recognize the species of the scorpions, she could tell at a glance that they were lethal.
“Yes.” Bella nodded.
Mary swallowed hard, looking up at Bella.
What kind of friend did Viola make!
All of Diana and Fiona and Flora were normal people.
Brandon slightly turned his gaze towards the two glass cases in the corner.
Such scorpions and snakes could make even him, a grown man, a little uneasy, let alone a woman.
Nevertheless.
Viola's friend truly was a bit out of the ordinary.
Bella continued, “Aunt, actually, Little Blue and Little Green are very cute too. It's just that they look a bit ugly.”
“Little Blue and Little Green?” Mary asked incredulously, “You even named them?”
“Yes.” Bella nodded.
Mary was momentarily at a loss for words.
Viola timely said, “Mom, it seems like dad is back. Should we finish dinner?”
Mary finally snapped back, “Yes, yes, dinner, let's go downstairs to have dinner.”
After dinner.
Mary came to Viola's room.
She knocked on the door.
“Viola, can I talk to you?”
Viola was analyzing data. Hearing Mary's voice, she immediately put down her mouse, “Of course, Mom, come in.”
Mary stepped in and shut the door behind her.
“Viola, how old is Bella this year?”
“I think she's thirty-one.”
But the bitch maintained herself well and didn't look thirty-one at all.
Mary asked again, “Where is her family from? How did you meet her?”
Viola had no idea what Mary was thinking, “Bella's family is from South Mountain. Her parents were also pharmacists, but they've retired now and seem to be travelling around the world. I met her in Show Village. Bella is a nice person.”
Mary nodded, “So, she comes from a family of pharmacists.”
“You could say that.”
Although… what they make is poison, not medicine.
