Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1592

"But if you keep pushing yourself like this, you could wreck your body, and it might even jeopardize your ability to have kids later on." Jensen warned, his words blunt but honest. He knew that women should not be exposed to cold water during their period, especially not ice-cold water.

Mia bit her lip, her face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and bewilderment. The idea of having children felt so far out of reach. People like them might never marry or have a family, let alone children. The relentless training had already ravaged her body, and her period had never been regular. But until now, she had been lucky enough to dodge the "ice bath" training sessions during her period. This time, however, her luck had run out. Her stomach throbbed with pain, and her face grew paler by the minute.

Jensen studied her concernedly before offering. "I could try to get you out of this."

"No!" Mia quickly grasped his arm. "It won't work. Just forget it."

"What are you two gossiping about? Get in the water now!" A harsh voice suddenly cut through the air.

Looking over Mia's shoulder, Jensen locked eyes with Hayes, who stared at them, an unusual fury lurking in his icy gaze. Jensen's brow furrowed, a daring suspicion crossing his mind.

"Quit gawking and get in the water. You two are the only ones left. If you don't want to train, then spend the night with Hayes at the Velvet Vagabonds," one of Hayes' goons snapped at them.

Mia anxiously tugged Jensen's arm, pleading. "We should just get in. It'll be over before we know it."

But Jensen brushed off her hand and said calmly, "The ice water will only hurt you more in your current condition. Let me try to get you a pass."

Mia reached for him in desperation, but he evaded her grasp. She stomped her foot in frustration, hurrying to catch up.

Hayes lounged on a plush couch, watching the approaching pair, a cruel smirk playing on his thin lips.

Jensen stopped in front of him, his gaze steady and unwavering. "Can I take Mia's place in the ice bath training?"
