The Ultimate Beast World Glow-Up novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182 Quiet Understanding 

Rosalie reached out to take it herself, only to realize her right hand had been wrapped up. it bound so thickly, there was no way she could hold anything. 

She knew at once this was Sabrina’s doing. That woman had done it on purpose and wrapped it extra thickly. 

Rosalie did not have the strength to redo the bandage herself. She could only wait until Sabrina came back the next day and have her fix it. 

She asked about Jewel a few times. Hearing that Jewel had already been locked up still did not put her fully at ease. She told Declan to keep watch. After all, what happened with Reva escaping was a clear warning. 

What if one of Jewel’s fanatical admirers tried to break her out? 

Declan was reluctant to leave, but he obeyed. Before going, he shot Elijah a fierce look, telling him to guard Rosalie properly. 

Then he closed the door and left. Elijah lowered his eyes and said nothing, but Rosalie could tell he was hurting inside. 

Elijah could be harsh and bad at expressing himself, but Rosalie knew he cared. 

She patted the empty spot beside her with her good left hand. “Come sleep here with me.” 

Elijah lay down with his back to her. Rosalie immediately complained, sounding wronged. “Why won’t you turn around? I can’t even see you.” 

Only then did Elijah quietly turn over. His eyes stayed closed, his lips pressed tight. 

“Ow, that hurts.” 

At Rosalie’s cry, Elijah opened his eyes at once and saw her smiling at him. 

Knowing she was teasing, he still could not help placing a hand on her stomach. “Does it still hurt?” 

“It doesn’t. Don’t worry.” 

Rosalie’s voice was soft. The faint scent she usually carried had been replaced by the smell of medicine, leaving a bitter feeling in her throat. 

“I don’t like seeing you hurt,” Elijah said. “Every time you are injured, I get the urge to lock you away.” 

As he spoke, his palm rested lightly on her neck, as if he wanted to keep her forever within his grasp. 

Rosalie did not resist. She only smiled at him. 

Elijah’s hand slowly moved down and held Rosalie’s uninjured left hand. 

Rosalie was not unreasonable. If it was cooperation, everything could be discussed. 

They negotiated about rice. Because Jewel had nearly killed Rosalie, the tribe felt guilty and offered generous terms. 

Rosalie accepted them readily. Once everything was settled, her smile became more sincere. 

She had a strong liking for Faith, a decisive and calm woman. If possible, she did not mind becoming friends. 

Just as the two were talking happily, Monica pushed the door open. The three exchanged looks. 

Monica walked straight to Rosalie’s bedside. She ignored Faith, and the worry on her face was clearly real. 

“Rosalic, you scared me to death. You’re pregnant. How could you do something so dangerous?” 

She reached for Rosalie’s hand, but Faith gently brushed her away. “Her hand is injured.” 

Monica shot her a glance, her tone sharp. “I’m not blind. I can see that.” 

Faith crossed her arms and stood aside. “I was just reminding you. No need to get so angry.”
