My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1605

Seeing that Levi was agitated, Monique asked, "Young Master Brown, I didn't seem to have provoked you, did I? Why do you look like you want to gobble me up in anger?"

Levi gritted his teeth. "Yeah, right. You didn't provoke me. I'm just overthinking!"

Why on earth did he help her? He should have just let her die of poison.

Monique looked around and saw herself lying on the quilts. "Levi, did you tell Cecil and Ronald that I was bitten by a snake?"

"Don't tell me that you still wish to keep it a secret from us," Cecil chimed in, holding a grilled fish in her hands. "Monique, why are you so silly? Do you really consider Ronald and I as useless brats?"

Monique shifted awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean that. I just don't want you guys to worry about me."

Cecil knew that Monique concealed the truth from them because she didn' t want to frighten them. She was just teasing her. "You must be famished. Eat some fish first. Don't be so silly in the future. Let us know at once when you’re injured. If any misfortune befalls you, the three of us will be in distress."

"Yes, it's my fault. I won't do this again." Monique glared indignantly at Levi. Was he even a man? She told him not to tell Cecil and Ronald, but he broke the promise and told them anyway. What a jerk!

"Cecil, take care of this ungrateful woman here. I'm going to prepare lunch with Ronald." He swallowed down his frustration and left. He was afraid that if he lingered on, he would not be able to hold back his desire to strangle her.

Once Levi left, Cecil huddled close to her and pried, "Monique, you don't even know how worried Young Master Brown was the night before when you were in a coma. Looking at how anxious he was, I would have thought that he's into you if I didn't know you both are usually enemies!"

Monique shot her a warning stare. "What are you blabbering about? He’s not concerned about me, he's just worried that he would be in trouble if anything occurs to me. After all, we're a team. If anything happens to anyone, the rest will have to report to the higher-ups."

"You can say that again." Cecil nodded. "Nevertheless, he was really on pins and needles. No matter the reason, you have to thank him for saving your life. Don't put on a long face. He doesn't owe you anything."

Monique muttered, "I know. It's just that the moment I see him, I instinctively want to keep my distance as if he has any ulterior motives."

Cecil couldn’ t suppress a laugh. "Miss Zellweger, I'm astounded. To be frank, our

Young Master Brown has never really offended you, am I right?

Monique retorted, with some miff, "He hasn't really done anything to offend me? Are you kidding me?"

Cecil inquired, "What has he done to offend you?"

Monique pondered the matter. It seemed that he had never really done anything to offend her. She uttered a lame excuse. "He called me a tomboy."

Cecil chuckled. "I have to agree with him."

Monique said grudgingly, "Cecil, are we even friends?"

Cecil continued, "To put it bluntly, his identity winds you up. You thought that he pulled some strings to become a part of our team. Hence, your prejudice led you to detest him."

Cecil spoke her mind. There was no way she could have said it better. Indeed, she had

always borne a grudge against Levi due to his identity. However, after working with him for a long time, she began to discover his strengths and started to look at him differently. To be honest, he was better than any of them.

Cecil added, "Monique, let go of your prejudice and look at Young Master Brown as he is. He is a very responsible and reliable man. It was a blessing in disguise for us to befriend him."

Monique nudged her and teased, "Cecil, what did Levi offer you to make you praise him in this manner?"

Cecil opened her eyes wide and gaped at Monique. "Am I someone who can easily be captivated? I have my own solid judgement and I value strengths. I recognised Young Master Brown's strengths, just like how I've acknowledged your strengths. You are kind-hearted, that's why I was willing to become your friend."

Monique had to admit that Cecil was good at discovering other people’s strengths. "Yeah, only you have the ability to uncover other people’ s strengths. Miss Hiller, are you satisfied now?"

Cecil grinned. "Nonsense! Gobble up the fish and have a good rest. You have just recovered and your body is still weak."

Monique was indignant. "I will eat the fish, but don’t treat me as a patient. I am perfectly fine."

Cecil was persistent. "Eat the fish and rest. Stop blabbering nonsense."

"All right, all right, I'll eat the fish." Monique gave in but her thoughts went astray. It disturbed her to realize that she could not recall what happened after she fell into a coma the night before.

After she fell unconscious, what did he do to help her remove the poison in her body?

Monique hoped that Cecil could provide some answers, but it was apparent that she knew nothing about it. If she was aware, she would have told her everything without her asking.

Monique couldn't figure it out, so she decided to cease thinking about the matter as it was giving her a headache. She would seek an opportunity to thank him and clarify her doubts then.

Outside, Levi was smoldered with resentment. He vented it out on Ronald who was preparing lunch for them. "Ronald, I’ve instructed you to prepare lunch for us. It’s been two hours, am I right? Yet, you are far from done. What have you been doing?"

Ronald immediately handed over the spoon made of coconut shell and said heatedly, "Young Master Brown, I can't do it. Come, you try it instead."

They were on a deserted island with no possession of kitchen utensils. It would already take a long time for them to make a campfire. Preparing a meal was not a piece of cake considering their circumstances. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

How dare he vent out his frustration on him? Let him prepare the meals by himself, he ain't helping anymore.

Levi groaned, "I've been sacrificing my sleep for you guys for the entire night. Don't I even have the right to be edgy?"

"Are you kidding me? You did not stay up all night for us, you stayed up all night for the sake of Monique. It seems that you are simmering with anger thanks to her. Don't vent out your frustration on me."
