Before Basil Jaak could act, the weakened Bertha had already begun to struggle feebly.
Basil intended to extract the venom the most direct way?
The wound was on her back—far too embarrassing...
While it might seem like an ordinary and inconsequential spot to others, to Bertha—who had nearly no physical intimacy with men (not counting the time Basil touched her chest)—it felt difficult to accept.
She pushed against Basil, but due to her lack of strength and shyness, the force in her hands was effectively meaningless in front of him.
Basil found this exasperating and said, "For heaven's sake, do you realize the situation we're in right now? And you're still shy? Your body..."
Basil had initially planned to say, "Your body's not exactly unfamiliar to me; I've even touched your chest before," but seeing Bertha's frail state, he decided against making such a joke and swallowed the second half of his sentence.
