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 cirction 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 ce. 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 be 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 re 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 intoughter.


    Levi scowled. "What''s so funny?"


    Monique exined, "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 particrly


    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 urred to him, he would have made the same choice as her. The most important thing


    was to protect hispanions, 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 be 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 cirction, 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 ufortable. "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?"


    She said, in the ndest voice, "Being a soldier but not dying in battle or for the people, instead,


    dying because of a snake''s venom. What a disgrace! I don''t want to lose my dignity in this manner.


    Just tell the others that I identally fell into the sea and disappeared."


    "Monique, you''re insane." Levi stared at her. She had already entered a trance, yet she still


    remembered her duty as a soldier. If every soldier could be like her, then the Chatterton Town


    Military would be the most powerful in the country.


    "Maybe I was not cut out to be a woman." Her voice faltered, and she lost consciousness.


    "Monique, wake up! I''m here, don''t you dare to die," he bellowed. There was no way for the blood


    clots to be drained from her body, but for her to survive, it was necessary to get rid of all the blood


    clots in her body. Levi figured out a n. Without hesitation, he lowered his head and sucked out


    the remaining poison from the wound.


    At the moment, there was only one goal in his mind. Which was to save the foolish woman and


    ensure her survival!


    It was pitch ck everywhere. They werepletely shrouded in darkness.


    "Monique, I''m so frightened! Will we die on this ind?"


    She heard Cecil''s shriek. Cecil said that she was frightened. Although she was also terrified, she


    said reassuringly, "Cecil, I''m here. I''m here. Don''t be afraid, I''ll protect you."


    Cecil''s voice faltered. "Monique..."


    "Cecil... Where are you? Why can''t I see you? Answer me quickly?" No matter how she yelled, she


    couldn'' t hear Cecil''s voice anymore. She looked around. The darkness seemed to engulf her. She


    couldn''t decipher anything and the whole world seemed unnaturally dark, as if it had been drained


    of all light.


    "Tomboy..."


    She heard another voice. It was Levi''s voice. What an annoying voice.


    "Levi, leave me alone." Monique waved her hand in a feeble attempt to drive the annoying voice


    away, but someone seized her hand. She tried to pull her hand away, but the person was too


    strong. She struggled to get free and finally, she woke up.


    Upon awakening, she saw a familiar but annoying face. Instinctively, she shrank back, trying to keep


    her distance.


    Levi glowered at her. "Monique, you heartless woman."


    To save her life, he not only sucked out the poison from her blood himself but also kept her


    company for the entire night. He didn''t expect that she would keep her distance after waking up. It


    was apparent that she was nice to him the day before because she needed his help.


    She might seem trustworthy, but she was actually full of deception. What a cunning woman!


    Levi was infuriated. He felt like kicking her out of anger!
