My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1604

Levi knew very well that the longer the poison remained in her body, the more deadly it would be. Without hesitation, he cut the wound open. The incision was about three centimeters long on her calf.

Dark purple blood gushed from the cut, but it was thick, and blood flow was restricted. Levi applied constant pressure to her leg to improve the blood flow. "Monique, I have seen all sorts of women in my life, but I have never seen anyone as foolish as you."

"If there was a choice, nobody in their right mind would opt to act tough and keep everything to themselves," she said wistfully. Since the wound was not treated immediately, the venom had reached the general circulation via absorption through the lymph and blood vessels. At first, she didn't experience any pain, just a little numbness and slight tingling of the skin, but gradually, the pain exacerbated. Once they arrived at the cave and she felt that a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders, the pain shot up her leg like fire. The pain made her nauseous and she was feeling all over the place. Hence, she started to reveal the thoughts that she had kept secret all this while.

"Being stubborn is not a wise choice for a woman. Sometimes, you should seek help when you need it, that will make you look sweet and lovely." Noticing her dejection, Levi wanted to lend a hand and offered some advice based on his experience.

He didn't know what the others thought, but this was his opinion. He always felt protective towards those delicate girls, but this was not the case when it came to tomboys like her.

"What do you know? The only person a woman can rely on is herself and no one else," she rebuked his words and bit her lips, which were bloodless and chapped. She added slowly, "You guys don't understand women."

"I've dated a lot of women and you say that I don't understand women?" he replied indignantly. Noticing that her face had become even paler, he gave her a look of reproach and scolded, "Fool, if you have mentioned this earlier, you wouldn' t be suffering now."

Monique said feebly, "If you were bitten by a snake just now, I'm sure that you would have made the same choice." "Don't pretend that you know me well." Levi leveled a glare on her. "Let me tell you what I would have done. If I was bitten by a snake, I'll rush at it and bite it. I'm not as foolish as you."

Upon hearing what he said, Monique burst into laughter.

Levi scowled. "What's so funny?"

Monique explained, "My mother used to say that I had a bad temper. Whenever someone provoked me, I would definitely blow a fuse and get even with them. She reprimanded and said that I should learn to control my temper, that I shouldn't pick a bone with someone out of annoyance. Apparently, getting into a fight will only lead to bad consequences."

Levi shot daggers at her. "Are you reprimanding me?"

"I don't have the guts to do so. How would I dare to reprimand you, Young Master Brown?" Her voice was feeble, but she continued, "Young Master Brown, I have something to discuss with you. Please don't let Cecil and Ronald know that I was bitten by a snake. Both of them are particularly afraid of these slimy reptiles. If they find out about it, I'm worried that it will affect their performance later on."

"Monique, you'd better take care of yourself first." Although Levi refused to admit it, if the same scenario occurred to him, he would have made the same choice as her. The most important thing was to protect his companions, regardless of his life.

He was a man, so it was only right for him to do so. However, Monique was a woman. Why was she being so strong and courageous? Was she really intending to become an independent woman?

"Levi, to be honest, you aren't that annoying. You are actually quite kind-hearted." As more venom was absorbed into her blood circulation, her head started to spin and she revealed her true thoughts, "Levi, if anything happens to me, you can just throw me into the sea to feed the fish."

The first half of her sentence made him grin back at her with amused contempt, but the second half made him very uncomfortable. "Everyone else wants their body to be buried once they die, but you want to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. What are you thinking?"
