"It hurts so badly. I can't get up." Lucas sounded quite rude. Cordy took a deep breath and advised herself inwardly and repeatedly that Lucas was hurt because of her. She was too weak just now that she made him fall again. Hence, she decided not to be angry at him. She squatted and helped him up again. With her help, he almost leaned all his weight on her. She seriously doubted if he was purposely trying to take revenge on him. She finally helped him stand beside the toilet bowl. "Do you need me to take off your pants for you too?" "Cordy Sachs, you’re shameless!" Lucas became agitated. "Why are you so agitated all of a sudden?" Cordy was shocked by his sudden loudness. So, she flared up in a rage. "Did I see through your thoughts?" "Get out!" Lucas lashed out. Surprisingly, he did not have a comeback. Of course, Cordy did not notice that much either. She would always argue with him. Besides, she had never met a person who rendered her so helpless and speechl
After she confirmed that he had put on his pants, she opened the door and walked in. Lucas was standing motionlessly in front of the toilet bowl in the washroom. He might have learned his lesson from his fall just now, so he did not dare to move impulsively now. Cordy gave him a hand, and he then leaned onto her without a tinge of embarrassment. He made use of her righteously. She then helped him into the wheelchair and pushed him into the ward. After exhausting herself again, she managed to help him to bed, and she was about to return to her bed to rest. However, Lucas stopped her out of the blue and called out, "Cordy." "Is there anything else?" "I suddenly feel like wiping my body." Cordy was at a loss for words. She wanted to ensure that she had not heard him wrongly. "You and Dicky smell so good from your bath, but I smell like nothing but sweat. I feel so uncomfortable, but I can't shower. Can't I wipe my body too?" Lucas became displeased by her stare, so h
The air seemed to turn warmer, and they could almost hear each other's heartbeats in the silence.Cordy had no idea why her heart started beating faster.Wasn't she just taking care of a patient?Wasn't he just a patient with a slightly better physique? She tried her best not to let her bare hands come into contact with Lucas' body.After wiping his torso, she went on to wipe his legs.After a long while, Cordy was finally done.She looked up and saw Lucas' face, which was slightly flushed.Right from the start, she focused on her hand movements and put aside all distractions. She did not expect to see the embarrassed look on Lucas' face as he lay down and let her wipe him down.Cordy was stunned for a moment.Was he pretending to be innocent or…Her eyes shifted awkwardly, and she looked everywhere except at him.She said, "I'm done wiping you down. I'm sure you don't need me to wipe certain areas, right?!"Lucas' face flushed a deeper red.He did not know why he sudden
"It's nothing, really. Go back to sleep," Lucas said, slightly annoyed.But if one were to listen closely, he sounded rather breathless.Cordy did not want to care about him, but Lucas was injured after all. If anything was wrong with him physically… What was more, he was stubborn and would refuse to admit it.Lucas did not notice what Cordy was doing, so when Cordy appeared by his bedside, he was so shocked he almost leaped from his bed. "Cordy, are you pretending to be a ghost?! Why are you so silent when you walk?" "Be quiet." Cordy was rendered speechless by how uptight Lucas was being.Richard was sleeping; of course she had to be silent."What are you doing here at my bedside? Go back to sleep on your own bed," Lucas instructed.Cordy ignored him.She stared at his flushed face and could hear his rapid, shallow breathing. There was clearly something wrong with him."Do you feel hot?" Cordy asked.Were his flushed cheeks and ears a result of a temperature?Otherwise, g
The world turned quiet, with everyone staring agape at Lucas…And then…Utter embarrassment!Things became extremely awkward in the room."Return me my sheets!" Lucas said through gritted teeth.Cordy immediately did so.Lucas covered himself angrily, pulling the sheets over his head."That is… very normal," the doctor said, trying to ease the tension in the room.Cordy's face blushed."Why is everyone still standing around here?!" Lucas yelled through the sheets.The doctor immediately snapped back to reality. "It's fine. We'll leave right away.""Hurry up!" Lucas rushed them unceremoniously."Patient's next-of-kin, do try to talk to him," the doctor reminded Cordy before leaving hastily with the nurse."I will. Thank you, doctor," Cordy said with a tinge of awkwardness in her voice.The doctor and nurse left the ward.Cordy looked at Lucas wrapped up in his cocoon and said, "Come on out.""Don't bother me.""The doctor has already said that it's normal.""I know ful
Although he did lose his memory three years ago, his past life and his life as he knew it now completely corresponded to each other. There was no reason for him to doubt it. He turned to the other side.He flipped and flopped on the bed, unable to fall asleep.Richard's words suddenly surfaced in his mind again, asking him if he was afraid of not knowing how to deal with his emotions right now.Lucas buried himself under the sheets again.He realized that he was indeed struggling with it!He must stop thinking about this.He was sure he would be possessed at the rate he was overthinking.Meanwhile, Cordy could sense that the person next to her in the room was on the brink of collapse.Wasn't it just an awkward moment?Did he have to be so affected?It was almost three in the morning, yet he was still awake.Although she admitted that it was rather embarrassing, she did not think that Lucas was so emotionally vulnerable that he could be affected to the point of losing sleep
Not wanting to reject him at the expense of her own health, Cordy accepted Lucas' shirt.To be honest, it had been a while since she had a good night's sleep.The smell on Lucas' clothes and pillow that was left in her house had gradually faded, and the quality of her sleep deteriorated along with it.Before Cordy settled herself down for bed, she took a closer look at Lucas' shirt.Perhaps due to her designer's instinct, she wanted to see what shirt could make Lucas care so much about it.However, just one look was enough for Cordy to recognize it.She was, of course, familiar with her own work.This shirt was from high-end luxury under Starstream Group, a limited-edited piece across the globe.Although this brand belonged to Starstream Group, it was not marketed under the name of the company and thus, its brand direction differed from other brands of the company. That was why many people did not know that the brand belonged to Starstream Group."Are you shocked by the beauty
"Shall I give Maron a call to prove to you what I said is true?" Cordy deliberately offered."No! I'm tired!" Lucas struggled to turn around with his back facing Cordy.Cordy smiled.'Weak.'The night was finally silent, and everyone fell asleep until the sun rose.Cordy did not know if it was because she had not had a good sleep for too long or because of Lucas' shirt, but she slept very soundly through the night.She did not even wake up when a medical staff member came for his rounds.Richard, on the other hand, woke up very early.He got out of bed quietly and even reminded the medical staff member to be quiet lest they woke his mommy up.The staff member was naturally more cautious around the patients in the VIP rooms, and he walked around very quietly and carefully. Lucas was fatigued as well.He slept too late last night.After the medical staff member was done with the routine checks, Lucas fell back asleep once more.Richard was the only one awake in the ward, an
