My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1590

Levi had a reason for having so much

confidence. He came from a good

background, was handsome and very

capable.

He was outstanding wherever he went.

Sometimes, he outshone everything else

around him.

For instance, Monique used to excel at many things. Whether it was academics or other activities, she would always come in first place. However, her first-place streak ended after joining the same team as Levi. He had completely robbed her of the spotlight.

Although he had taken her spotlight, she was never jealous of him. She would admire him and it would make her work harder on herself so that she could one day beat him and become the true queen of the army.

The four walked to the beach with branches they had found earlier in hand. If they were lucky, they may be able to stake some fish in the water or catch some crabs near the rocks.

"Ronald and I will try to catch some fish. Monique and Cecil, you guys find a way to dry some sea salt, and see if you can find drinking water nearby. Remember to stay close to us. If you can't find it, just wait for us to come look for it with you once we're done fish hunting," Levi instructed.

Food was not the hardest to find on this desolate island. The biggest problem was to locate a source for drinkable water. Everyone had thought about this issue.

Monique and Cecil accepted their task and used their jackets to soak up some sea water before squeezing the moisture onto the rocks to dry them. As it was a bright and sunny day, it did not take long for them to see snow-white salt started to form on the surface of the rocks. They quickly collected the salt and filled an empty mineral water bottle with them. This salt would last them for days.

As the girls were done collecting the salt, Levi and Ronald also returned with some catches. They caught a saltwater fish about a kilogram in weight, a few crabs and some shellfish.

Levi looked at Monique and Cecil, "Hey tomboys, check this out. Our catch isn't bad today, so sorry to disappoint you."

Monique said, "Young Master Brown, this is only the first meal of our first day here. Don't get so cocky now, we still have a long way to go.

"Let's just wait and see then," Levi said.

Monique ignored him and said to Cecil, "Cecil, based on how the weather is right now, it seems like it's not going to rain. Since we can't get rainwater to drink, let's see if we can find some drinking water underground."

Cecil said, "Okay, let's go."

Levi yelled at them, "Don't go too far from here."

Monique yelled back, "We know."

Ronald said, "Young Master Brown, you seem to care about Monique a lot."

Levi replied, "As the team leader of this four-person team, I have the responsibility to bring everyone home safely."

The four of them came together, so they had to go back together. No one should be left behind.

As they were talking, they heard Cecil scream from a distance. Levi immediately ran towards them as quickly as he could. "What happened?" He asked when he got to them.

Cecil so shocked that she was completely drenched in sweat. Her finger trembled as she pointed towards Monique.

Levi saw Monique grabbing a snake in her fist. The snake was almost as thick as the size of a fist. Even Levi was startled when he

saw it. "Monique, are you..."

Cecil said, "Monique, I'm scared too. I'll go look for water."

Monique teased, "You're not going to stay with your Queen Monique?"

Cecil said as she ran away, "I'm going to help them catch fish."

Monique did not know what to say.

Forget it, she would clean the snake first. Then, she would make soup with it. Wonder if they would eat it then?

Soon, Monique found a water source under the forest that was covered in greens. She hurriedly called Cecil over. "Cecil, go grab our pot."

Cecil asked, "Are you going to use our pot to make snake soup?"

Monique replied, "We have to get water first before we make snake soup. Go grab the pot so we can fill it up with water."

Ceceil heard her and rushed over with a pot, "You found drinking water?"

Monique said, "Yes, it's fresh water."

They now had both food and water. Monique felt her heart swell in happiness. Surviving on the island was not as hard as they thought it to be it seemed.

Not too longer after, they faced a new problem. None of them brought a lighter or matches. They would have to start a fire with their own hands.

Everyone thought of the most primitive method of drilling wood to get fire. They picked up some dry firewood and rubbed it against each other. The skin on their hands had almost peeled away, but there was still no hint of fire. Although there was a bit of smoke, there was no actual flame in sight.

The fish, crabs and snake meat had all been cleaned and placed into the pot, and all they needed now was a fire but they just could not get one started. Anxiety began creeping into everyone's skin.
