My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1603

The fierce wind howled like a ghost, blowing out the only torch in their hands.

Cecil was so frightened that she hugged Monique tightly. "Monique, we can't see anything now. What should we do?"

Monique responded calmly, "Cecil, don't panic. Just follow me. I'm familiar with that road. I can take you there without a torch."

Cecil had been with Monique for the entire afternoon the day before. When did Monique know about the cave mentioned by Levi? She asked doubtfully, "Monique, have you seen that cave before?"

Levi knew that Monique did not know about the cave's existence, and she said this just to reassure the others. She was quick- witted and was an outstanding soldier indeed. He praised silently in his heart.

He chimed in, "When I saw the cave the day before, I told tomboy. She also knows the existence of the cave."

After hearing Levi's response, Cecil heaved a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, you guys know about the cave. Otherwise, I will be in a state of flux."

Monique was like his right-hand man, reliable and sharp. Having her made life easier for him when they had a task to complete. He continued, "You've seen tomboy's skills. She will lead the way while I will bring up the rear. It's just pitch-black, nothing else. What's there to worry about?"

If this was the case, then there wasn't much for them to worry about. They weren't on the battlefield; it was just difficult to see in the dark.

Cecil dragged Ronald over and they followed Monique as they proceeded with the plan. No one uttered a single word.

Out of the blue, Monique let out a groan and came to a halt. Cecil asked anxiously, "Monique, why did you stop?"

"It's nothing." Monique shook her head and continued to move ahead. Nobody noticed that something was amiss.

After a long while, they finally reached the cave that Levi had mentioned. "We're here," Levi announced.

However, the other three still hugged each other tightly. They were so frightened that no one dared to budge. It was not until Levi lit up a pile of fire and illuminated the cave that Cecil and Ronald let go of each other.

Cuddling under the quilt, curling herself into a ball, Cecil asked, "We won't be drenched in rain in the cave, but will the seawater rise and surge into the cave?"

Levi reassured them, "You three rest first. I’m going to keep watch tonight and guard the entrance of the cave. I'll inform everyone immediately if anything happens."

"Young Master Brown, it's been hard on you. I'll take a nap first, and then I'll take your place so that you can rest." Ronald wanted to help, but he was a little afraid of keeping watch alone at the cave entrance, although he did not know what there was to be frightened of.

Cecil was already very sleepy. As soon as she laid down on the quilt, she fell into slumber. "I'm sleepy. I'll hit the sack."

Monique threw the quilt on the ground and followed Levi out. "Young Master Brown, I'm not sleepy. I'll keep watch for a while with you."

Levi turned around and looked at Monique. He teased, "Hey, tomboy, are you worried about me keeping watch alone at night? Or are you seizing this opportunity to spend time alone with me?"

"As long as it pleases you, you can think whatever you want," Monique retorted and went straight to the entrance of the cave.

"Hey, tomboy, you want to play cat and mouse with me? Let me get this straight, I will never fall for you," Levi snickered, but he still went after her. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Monique walked so fast that she didn't stop and look back until she reached the entrance of the cave. The cave was so deep that the two sleeping inside wouldn't be able to see her whilst she was at the entrance.

She looked at Levi and said solemnly, "Levi, I was bitten by a snake just now. Now I must release some blood to save my life. You must help me."

"Monique, what are you saying?" After hearing Monique's words, Levi suddenly realized that her face had turned ashen and great beads of perspiration trickled down her forehead.

He was startled and asked no more. He came to her and chided, "F*ck, why didn't you say earlier that you were bitten by a snake? You're courting death."

Levi bellowed with rage as he helped Monique to sit down on the ground, "You fool, sit down properly. Don’t move an inch. Did you notice the species of the snake?"

Monique rolled her eyes and gave him a disdainful look, as if he had asked a really stupid question. "Just now the torch was put out, and it was pitch-black. I could barely see the route ahead. How was I going to see what kind of snake bit me?"

Levi did not respond. Without hesitation, he tore off her trouser legs and saw the wound. The skin around the wound had turned purple.

Judging from the color, Monique had been bitten by a poisonous snake. Fear clutched at his heart and strong emotions welled up inside. "Monique, you damned woman. Don't you know how serious

it is being bitten by a venomous snake? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I know. That’s why I didn't utter a word." Monique gritted her teeth and endured the excruciating pain, but she didn't regret it at all.

"Fool! Think you have nine lives, do you?" While reprimanding her, Levi took off his shirt and wrapped it around her legs to prevent the venom from spreading quickly to other parts of the body. "Stay still. Don’t talk. I'll figure it out."

Seeing Levi losing his cool, Monique wanted to make an explanation. "I didn’t want to make Cecil and Ronald panic. What’s more, it has been so long since I was bitten. This proves that either the effect is weak or it spreads slowly. As long as we let out some blood, I will be saved."

While explaining, she took out a military knife from her pocket and handed it to Levi. "D*mn, I can't do it myself. Please help me cut a larger wound to let out some blood."

Levi took the knife and glanced at her. "I thought you were fearless. I never thought that there would be something you didn't dare to do."

Monique admitted, self- deprecating, "There are many things I don't dare to do."

For example, she didn't dare to fall in love easily, didn’t dare to dress up beautifully like other girls and so on.

Ever since she was young, she had learned how to be strong and independent and how to resolve problems without troubling anyone.

When she was bitten by the snake just now, she instinctively chose to conceal it, because she knew that in such a dangerous situation, spilling the beans would only cause unnecessary panic which will hinder the possibility of reaching the cave.

Hence, she clenched her teeth, endured the pain and fear, and focused on the goal to bring everyone to the cave together with Levi.
