Villainess is being pampered by her beast husbands-Chapter 104 --

Her mind started turning back—rewinding, picking through everything slowly.

She thought of the days they had spent near the salt waters. The wind. The dry air. The stinging feeling that had clung to her own skin. Even now, her eyes still ached, and her arms had turned slightly red from the exposure.

Her gaze lowered again to the sparrow’s small form.

He was so tiny. His feathers looked dull, almost weighed down. And that look on his face—it wasn’t just sulking, was it?

Maybe... just maybe... his body was irritated.

Not emotionally. Physically.

She blinked slowly, as a thought settled quietly in her head.

If her skin felt this way—then how bad must it be for a body that small?

Her fingers adjusted slightly, cupping him closer. More carefully now. More understanding in her touch than before.

That must be it, right?

Maybe that’s why he looked like that.

And just like that, her frustration from earlier softened into something else entirely.

The sparrow was stunned.

He stared up at Kaya from her palm, completely thrown off by her sudden gentleness. Her voice had softened, her touch careful—almost tender. What was she even thinking?

’Why was she acting like this?’.

His face turned slightly red, though whether it was from embarrassment or sheer confusion, even he couldn’t tell.

She was unpredictable. She was kind one second, impossible the next. And now... she was looking at him like he was something to be cared for?

His tiny heart fluttered, caught off guard.

But before he could process it any further, Kaya’s eyes landed on him again. Her brows twitched, as if a thought just snapped into place.

She looked down from the branch and called out,

"Hey, cutie! Is there any warm water still left in the bowl?"

Cutie glanced over and checked. "Yeah, a bit. Why? You need it for something?"

Kaya didn’t even blink.

"Yeah," she replied casually, her gaze flicking back to the sparrow. "I was just thinking... sparrow meat would probably --."

She hadn’t even finished the sentence before—

FWOOSH!

The sparrow launched himself straight into the air with an outraged chirp, feathers fluffed in full panic mode.

He crashed clumsily into her chest, wings flapping like mad, then popped out from under her arm, shrieking.

"Scrooge! Chirp! Chirp!"

He glared up at her, absolutely fuming.

How dare she. And to think—for one second—he actually thought this woman was good.

Up in the sky, the sparrow flapped furiously, his tiny wings beating the air with every frustrated burst.

His eyes were practically glowing with rage, and his whole face had turned red from sheer disbelief.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

It wasn’t just noise anymore—it was a full-blown tantrum.

This woman.

This woman!

And here he was, thinking she might be a genius. That she might actually care.

But no—no!

She was the worst.

He spun in the air, chirping nonstop—unleashing what could only be described as some very creative bird-language insults. Who knew what kind of profanity was packed into those chirps?

Meanwhile, down below, Kaya stood there with a slanted, quiet smile on her face.

The kind of smile that didn’t match the chaos above her at all.

A slight tilt of her head. Amused. Knowing.

That smile only made the sparrow chirp louder. He screeched down at her again, furious, flapping like he wanted to explode.

’Why was she smiling?!’.

But Kaya didn’t answer. She just laughed.

Really laughed. Like she hadn’t laughed in a long time.

Then, still chuckling, she grabbed hold of the tree branch and leapt down. She landed with a soft thud, brushing off the dust from her clothes like nothing had happened.

She looked up at him with that same sly smile and said plainly—

"Hmm. Looks like you’re fine now."

The sparrow froze mid-flap.

His tiny body paused.

His wings stilled.

Even his angry chirps cut off with a shocked little hiccup.

Chrip?

("Huh?")

As Kaya’s steps turned toward the cave, a sudden, sharp pain slammed into her head like a crashing wave.

"Ugh"

She staggered.

One knee hit the ground.

The pain was unbearable. It wasn’t just in her head—it was crawling through her body like fire. Her eyes throbbed, her chest clenched tight, and then... it struck her stomach like a fist. All at once.

"Ahh"

She groaned, trying to breathe, but the pain only deepened.

Then—her body gave in.

She collapsed, still fully awake, but barely able to move. It wasn’t the kind of fall that came from fainting. She was conscious—very conscious. Every nerve in her body screamed.

The pain wasn’t fading. It was spreading.

Her chest. Her head. Her stomach. All at once—each pulse of it sharp, raw, and relentless.

And then—she screamed.

"AHH!"

A sound torn from somewhere deep inside her.

Inside the cave, Cutie froze mid-step. Even the sparrow—mid-flight—jerked to a halt.

And then they both ran.

Cutie rushed out first. He found Kaya on the ground, curled slightly, her body trembling.

His eyes widened.

"Kaya?!"

He dropped beside her, panic tightening his throat. Her lips were pressed together, blood trickling from where she’d bitten down so hard to keep herself from crying out again. ƒreewebɳovel.com

He quickly pulled her up, resting her head in his lap.

"Kaya—hey! Kaya?!"

She didn’t answer. Her body shook with each wave of pain. Her eyes weren’t closed—but they weren’t focused either. It was like everything around her had blurred, vanished.

The only thing real to her now... was the pain.

Cutie hurriedly raised his hand, his face pale with worry. A soft blue light began to glow from his palm—gentle, almost like a whisper of magic.

He placed his hand carefully on Kaya’s forehead, hoping, praying it would help.

But nothing changed.

Kaya’s body still trembled. Her breath still came in broken, uneven gasps. Her hands curled against her chest as if trying to hold herself together.

The light from Cutie’s palm flickered, unsure.

She didn’t calm.

She didn’t ease.

Not even a little.

"Agh!", Kaya clenched her stomach with one hand and her chest with the other.
