Chapter 1609


    "Monique..."


    Levi reacted swiftly. He stretched out his arms and seized her as she slipped.


    He managed to prevent her from falling onto the ground. However, he had exerted too much force


    and together with Monique''s weight; it caused her to fall back towards him. He instinctively wanted


    to dodge, but if he did, Monique would fall onto the rocks and would be severely injured.


    Without time to consider his options, he did not budge and Monique fell on top of him.


    His back hit against the hard rock. The moment Monique fell on top of him, he groaned in pain.


    Monique regained her senses quickly and got up immediately. She asked anxiously, "Levi, did I hurt


    you?


    He experienced a burning sensation of pain, most likely he was injured. However, he acted as if


    nothing had happened and chuckled. "Monique, who do you think you are? Do you seriously think


    you can hurt me?"


    Judging from his expression, nothing seemed wrong, but she had put all her weight on him when


    she fell. Was he really all right? Monique remained suspicious and wished to take off his clothes to


    have a look at his back. However, she was afraid that Levi would misapprehend her intentions.


    Therefore, she got up quickly and inquired, "Are you really fine?"


    Levi rose swiftly to his feet and didn''t seem to be injured. Monique heaved a sigh of relief. "Luckily,


    nothing happened to you. If you are injured, I really don''t know what to do."


    While enduring the stinging pain, he gave a dismissive wave of his hand. "Let’s return to the


    campsite and help them with the pheasants. Ronald and Cecil are both clumsy. We will be forced to


    eat burnt pheasants if nobody is there to supervise them.


    Monique chortled. "When ites to belittling others, you are the expert."


    Levi remarked, T m just stating the truth, when did I belittle anyone?"


    To him, Cecil and Ronald were indeed clumsy. Although they yed a role in their missions, it was


    wishful thinking to depend on them for smaller tasks such as preparing meals.


    "All right, you are just stating the truth." Monique stole a nce at him to make sure that he was fine


    before she added, "I''ll go and help them first."


    Levi nodded.


    Once she left his sight, he drew a deep breath. Monique, she must have done it on purpose. She


    knew that he was injured but dragged him along and he was forced to remain indifferent even


    though he was in pain.


    "D*mned Monique, you are really the bane of my existence." Levi took off his shirt. There was


    something sticky on it. When he washed it with seawater, streaks of blood flowed out. It was


    fortunate that he was not wearing a white shirt, otherwise, concealing his injury would be impossible


    even if he wanted to.


    The blood on his shirt indicated that the injury on his back was severe. He couldn''t manage the


    wounds by himself, hence, he returned to the cave in which they''ve resided temporarily and


    changed his clothes. He balled his fists and muttered grudgingly, "D*mn Monique, one day I''ll make


    you pay."


    Ever since he was a kid, he had never been injured for the sake of others, let alone sucked poison


    to save a person’ s life. However, he had done all these for Monique, whom he did not see eye to


    eye.


    Fortunately, Levi was strong and young. Hence, he did not suffer any major consequences from the


    injury and was still able to walk around as if nothing had happened. "You guys have been working


    on it for a long time, is our meal ready?"


    Hearing his voice, Ronald nced up and noticed that Levi’s mood was significantly better. Wow,


    the power of love was indeed strong! Their attempts to calm him down were fruitless, but Monique


    was able to cheer him up. Yet, he still denied his feelings for her.


    Despite their tant attraction to each other, they failed to realize it. Ronald dared not interfere


    anymore for fear that they would blow a fuse again. "Young Master Brown, you are right on time.


    You must have known that we have finished preparing the meal."


    Levi paid no heed to Ronald and sat down, making sure to keep his distance from Monique. "If you


    are ready, serve the pheasants. I''m famished."


    Considering that Levi had indeed saved her twice, Monique served him with enthusiasm. "Young


    Master Brown, you have caught the pheasant, and we have roasted it. This is the result of the


    combined effort of our team. You should have a taste of it first."


    Levi did not reach out to take the pheasant. Instead, he stared at Monique with a twinkle in his eyes.


    "Monique, unountable solicitous and ttery are usually associated with ulterior motives. What


    are you plotting?" "If you don''t want to eat, fine. I''ll eat it myself." How dare he mistake her kindness


    for ill intentions?! Monique took a bite of the roasted pheasant. It was scrumptious! She sighed with


    satisfaction and remarked, "I won'' tin even if I have to die right after eating this."


    Levi scoffed, "Monique, have your dignity gone down the drains?"


    Monique rebuked, "It''s none of your business."


    Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Cecil butted in, "Ronald, hurry up and serve Young


    Master Brown. Eat it while it’s hot."


    Ronald immediately did as he was told.


    Meanwhile, in Madison City.


    Silvia slept in this morning as she slept a littleter than usual the night before. When she woke up,


    Jayden was nowhere to be seen. The cold sheets affirmed that he had left for a long time. Her heart


    sank.


    She tended to overthink things ever since she was pregnant. Besides, Jayden would always be by


    her side no matter howte she got up for the past few months. She was used to seeing him the


    moment she opened her eyes and was a little disappointed that she did not see him today.


    However, Silvia soon understood why Jayden did not wait for her to wake up today. Her due date


    was two months and eight dayster. Karen, who was in Chatterton Town was starting to worry


    about her and decided toe over to take care of her. Jayden went to the airport this morning to


    pick her up.

    Silvia was ecstatic to see Karen whom she had not met for more than two months. She dashed over


    to hug her. "Karen, you are here." However, before she could throw herself into her arms, Jayden


    pulled her over. His expression darkened and his eyes were filled with concern as he reprimanded,


    "Silvia, don''t you know that you'' re pregnant? How could you run around in this manner? What if


    something bad happens to your pregnancy?"


    Silvia stuck her tongue out at him and made an adorable expression, "Young Master Kyle, don''t


    worry. I love your son and I won''t hurt him."


    Jayden frowned. He was more concerned about Silvia''s safety, evenpared to the baby.


    However, she seemed to indicate that he only cared about the child and did not want her.
