Chapter 102

Nydia’s voice, soft and gentle as if soothing a child, made Jesse feel like he was diving into a warm blanket, enveloped by a soft and gentle touch that made him unconsciously relax all over. And those clear, water-like eyes looking at him were like a breeze brushing over his cheeks, making his breathing smoother.

He looked at Nydia for a long time, and she didn’t avoid his gaze. The sparkling eyes reflected his figure.

She patiently asked, “Are you feeling better?”

The slightly raised tone made his tailbone tingle, and he couldn’t describe the feeling, but he felt like he wanted more.

He impulsively agreed.

Nydia found some fever medicine and asked, “You haven’t taken this before at work, have you? What about cold medicine?”

“I took cold medicine in the afternoon but didn’t take it at night,” he replied, his voice hoarse.

But this voice sounded very sexy and magnetic, especially with a nasal tone, as if his whole person had softened.

“Then take a fever medicine and see how you feel. If you feel better tomorrow, you don’t need to go to the hospital.”

She prepared the medicine, shook the glass, and blew on it again. The misty heat made her look a bit dreamy.

“Drink it.”

Jesse obediently took the medicine.

“Now go to sleep, and you’ll probably start sweating and feel better tomorrow.” Nydia remembered something and added, “Let me take a look at the wound on your back.”

His injury was much more severe than hers, and she wondered if taking a shower would affect it.

“It’s okay, no need to look.”

“The wound is on your back, and you can’t see it. How do you know it’s okay?”

“…” She was arguing again, like he had taken a bullet.

Nydia ignored him and began to take off his clothes.

“I can do it myself.”

Did she detect a hint of shyness in his hoarse voice? Was it her imagination?

She gave Jesse a soft shirt to wear and circled around to look at his back. She frowned and touched it with her finger.

Jesse’s body shrank a bit, and when her slightly cold fingers touched his burning hot back, he felt an electric shock running through his spine.

“Still hurting, right? Your wound hasn’t fully recovered yet. Let me apply some medicine for you, otherwise it’s very likely to become infected.”

Nydia thought he was still in pain and didn’t pay attention to his movements.

“I’m going to take a shower first.”

“Shower? You’re burned like this and you still want to shower? No way!”

“I want to!”

Jesse’s tone sounded a bit stubborn.

“I’ll just wipe you down instead, don’t shower. It could worsen your cold.”

She helped him put on his clothes to prevent him from catching a cold again.

“No, I want to shower!”

“… ” Why is he acting like a child? He was so obedient just now. Why is he being stubborn now? His tone is just like a sulky child.

Jesse had already wheeled himself towards the bathroom.

“Do you still want to think it over? If you take a shower, not only will your cold worsen, but the wound on your back could also become infected!” Nydia was a bit anxious and her attitude wasn’t very good.

Jesse’s face instantly darkened, his gaze became cold and sharp. “Nydia, when did it become your turn to manage me? Get out!”

“… “He’s angry again?

Her anger also rose, and she didn’t want to deal with him anymore. But then she thought, what if it really got serious? He already has a weakened immune system, and the wound is easily infected. If his back gets infected on a large scale, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.

She grabbed Jesse’s hand, and Jesse immediately tried to break free. She held on tightly, using all her strength, even clenching her teeth.

She had to smile and talk to him.

“I was wrong just now. I shouldn’t have been mean to you. Not showering is uncomfortable, isn’t it? So just take a quick shower and I’ll wait for you outside, okay?”
