Little Spider

When Gwen heard that, she couldn't help asking, "Is Venom another lover?"

Pamela nodded and smiled. "Yes."

Gwen frowned and asked, "Sister Pamela, you're so outstanding. Why are you willing to share him with someone else?"

Pamela leaned against the edge of the tub and slowly said, "Gwen, I'm not outstanding. I'm a monster too."

Gwen was a little confused. "But you look no different from anyone else. You just have a special ability. How can you call yourself a monster?"

Pamela smiled bitterly. "My professor injected me with a drug. My body is filled with toxins—so concentrated that mere contact for a few seconds can kill someone.

"My darling wasn't afraid of me. He accepted me. Venom compressed the toxins in my body, allowing me to live a normal life.

"So I'm willing to share his love with someone else, because that love is too precious to me—so precious that I don't want to lose it."

As Gwen listened to Pamela's story, sympathy and admiration appeared in her eyes.

"Besides, I'll never be able to give birth naturally. Venom promised me that she could use my cells and my darling's cells to cultivate a life."

As she spoke, Pamela stroked her belly, anticipation shining in her eyes.

After hearing Pamela's words, Gwen was filled with complicated emotions. She felt sorry for what Pamela had gone through, yet admired Pamela's courage and resolve.

After bathing, the two of them lay on the bed, chatting about their pasts as their bond continued to deepen.

"Sister Pamela, is the ring on your hand an engagement ring?" Gwen had noticed the gemstone ring on Pamela's hand. Pamela hadn't even taken it off while bathing.

"This? No. My darling said he'd give me an even better ring when the time came."

Looking at the ring on her hand, Pamela revealed a sweet smile.

She had also heard the conversation between her darling and Tony. He had simply given her a ring worth tens of billions.

Gwen hesitated. "Um, Sister Pamela, I feel like this ring is a little dangerous. I don't know if it's just my imagination."

Pamela looked at Gwen in surprise. What keen senses.

"It isn't your imagination! This ring has a special ability. It can fire cutting beams."

Gwen's eyes widened in shock. Her mouth formed an "O" as she said incredulously, "What? This tiny ring can fire beams? That's unbelievable!" A trace of envy also showed in her eyes.

Pamela noticed it too and said, "You don't have to be envious. My darling still has seven more."

Gwen snorted and turned her head away, stubbornly saying, "I don't want his ring! Who would care about it?" But her faintly flushed cheeks betrayed her true feelings.

Pamela smiled. She knew this was just a little girl acting tough because she was too embarrassed to admit it. She gently patted Gwen's shoulder and said, "All right, all right. But maybe you'll have one someday too."

Gwen lightly bit her lip and said nothing more, but she couldn't help imagining it in her mind.

"What was that sound?"

Gwen's Spider-Sense suddenly went off when strange noises came from next door.

Pamela answered, "Venom and my darling have started."

At that, Gwen's face flushed bright red, and she hurriedly pulled the covers over her entire body.

Seeing this, Pamela couldn't resist teasing her. "Oh my, little Gwen. Are you that shy?"

Gwen's muffled voice came from beneath the covers. "Sister Pamela, stop teasing me."

Pamela laughed. "Haha, all right, all right. I won't tease you anymore."

But Gwen still hid beneath the covers and refused to come out. Pamela could only shake her head helplessly.

After more than ten minutes, the noises next door stopped.

Gwen poked her head out from under the covers and said in confusion, "Kino finished that quickly?"

Pamela was just as puzzled. Frowning, she muttered, "That shouldn't be. He clearly took several hours last night before he was satisfied. Could he have been drained dry yesterday?"

The two exchanged a glance, then awkwardly looked away.

A short while later, someone knocked on the door.

"Pamela, can you help me? Venom passed out."

Kino was helpless. He didn't know what had happened, but Venom had passed out after only a short while, leaving him hanging. He could only come to Pamela for help.

"Gwen, it looks like you'll have to sleep by yourself tonight."

Pamela put on her pajamas and walked out. An alluring voice came from outside the door.

"Mm... darling, let's go back to the room. We have plenty of time today."

Listening to the sounds from next door, Gwen hugged her head. How am I supposed to sleep like this?

After thinking it over, she quietly went to the balcony and climbed onto the neighboring balcony, finding a concealed corner to look over.

Kino awoke surrounded by warm, fragrant softness. Venom and Pamela were both exhausted, and neither woke even with all that noise.

He got up and went to the balcony to enjoy the morning sunlight. Suddenly, he heard the sound of water being stepped in beneath his feet. Puzzled, he crouched down and looked at the small puddle on the ground.

He looked toward the neighboring balcony. The door wasn't even closed.

"There was a little spider being naughty yesterday."

Kino wore a mischievous grin. He already knew who it was. Without disturbing Pamela and Venom, he went downstairs.

Gwen had already started breakfast. When she saw Kino come down, she paused, then continued eating without saying a word.

Kino took his seat and said, "Good morning, Gwen."

Gwen instinctively replied, "Good morning, Kino." But the moment she said it, she felt awkward. Her face flushed slightly, her eyes wandered, and she didn't dare meet Kino's gaze.

Seeing Gwen like this, Kino found it amusing and deliberately asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Gwen nearly choked on the food in her mouth. Stammering, she said, "I... I did."

Kino smiled and shook his head, no longer teasing her as he began enjoying his own breakfast.

Gwen hurriedly finished breakfast and prepared to leave. It was too embarrassing. Yesterday, she must have lost her mind to watch Kino and Sister Pamela like that.

"Wait..."

"What is it? Is there something else?"

Gwen pretended to be calm as she watched Kino walk toward her step by step and take her hand.

Gwen's heart was a tangled mess.

What is he trying to do? He isn't going to propose, is he? He already has two, yet he's still so greedy.

Should I accept? Oh, what am I thinking? How could this possibly be a proposal?

But what if it really is? What should I do? If I accept, wouldn't that be letting him off too easily? But if I refuse, I feel like I might regret it.

Kino left a red mark in Gwen's palm and said, "I'm leaving a mark on you. That way, I'll know whenever you're in danger."

Seeing Gwen's strange expression, Kino asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gwen pulled her hand back and said flusteredly, "It's nothing. It's not like I was thinking about a ring or anything."

At that moment, Gwen was filled with regret. Why did I say what I was thinking out loud?
