"Tyler! Tyler!""Wake up, don't sleep! Stop sleeping…!"Who was calling him?All of a sudden, Tyler opened his eyes."He's awake!" someone exclaimed.Tyler narrowed his eyes, and before he could see the one in front of him, he heard Doctor Charlie saying, "Thank goodness. You're finally awake! Miss Shaw, come and see; your boyfriend is awake! Thank goodness… If his fever persisted for one more day, his brain would've been fried!"Subsequently, he saw a thin figure appearing before his eyes.Vicky was thrilled and overjoyed to see Tyler finally awake. Tears rolled down from her eyes and dropped onto Tyler's skin."Oh, thank heavens. You woke up!"The tears dropped on the back of his hand and created an indescribable feeling. The tears were supposed to be cold, but they felt warm when they landed on his hand.Tyler blinked a few times to get a clear look. His voice was hoarse. "What happened to me?"It was then he realized how frail he sounded. Nothing like this had happened d
Vicky looked at him with a pair of shocked eyes. "You took a shower…before your fever subsided?"Tyler looked away to avoid looking into her eyes.What was wrong with him?Meanwhile, the irked Vicky turned and communicated with Doctor Charlie."I found the reason for his fever. I think he might've gotten it after he had a shower that day."Doctor Charlie was speechless. "Oh my god! He had a shower? Miss Shaw, you must stay in the hospital for twenty-four hours from today onward to take care of your boyfriend. If he had cooperated with us, he could've left the hospital today. But… If this continues, he may suffer serious after-effects."Vicky gave it a thought and nodded slightly. "Alright."Tyler heard their conversation and peeked at Vicky.Doctor Charlie nodded in satisfaction. "Miss Shaw, please take care of him for the next few days."With that, Doctor Charlie left.Vicky looked back at Tyler. "I need to go home for a bit to bring some daily necessities over. Oh, do you w
In the bathroom…Tyler had just taken off his shirt when someone kicked open the bathroom door with a loud slam.Bang!He was startled as he looked at the door.A thin young lady was standing at the door and looking at him angrily. "Mister Hart." Her voice sounded cold. "What do you think you're doing?"A young lady, barging into a bathroom where a man was inside…and there was no shyness on her face as she even gazed at his body.Tyler was a man, and he was embarrassed to have someone staring at him in such a manner. Despite that, he remained calm and indifferent.He also did not reach for his shirt to cover his body and remained where he was as he replied faintly, "Taking a shower."Anger thrummed in Vicky's veins. "Did you forget Doctor Charlie said you're in no condition to take a shower?""But I want to take my shower.""You're going to have another fever!" hissed Vicky."Not if I blow-dry my hair."Vicky was stunned for a few seconds. She asked, "So the reason you had
Regardless of that, Vicky could not tolerate it because she was never in this kind of situation before.Tyler hung his hospital gown on the side and looked at Vicky."Are you sure you still want to stay?" he asked."I…" Vicky's lips quivered. The courage she gathered disappeared into thin air when Tyler looked at her.Was she really going to stay here and look when Tyler had his shower?Since Vicky said nothing, Tyler prepared to take off his underwear.Just when his hand reached his waist, Vicky let out a shriek."Ahh! Don't take it off!"She quickly ran out of the bathroom and slammed the door shut.Tyler smirked when the door closed.…Immediately after Vicky ran out of the bathroom, she went to the window and opened it to take many deep breaths.What a crazy thing she just did; barging into a bathroom when a man was trying to take a shower and she nearly saw his naked body.'Just let him take his shower. You're not the one who's going to suffer. Why are you panicking?'
"All done."After some time, the silky voice of a woman rang from behind Tyler. It sounded gentle, soft like a bird's feather.Tyler closed his eyes to hide his emotion. "Thank you."His response came as a surprise to Vicky because Tyler hardly said his thanks to her. Instead, his thanks would come in the form of money, so it shocked her to hear him verbally thanking her."Go rest." Vicky put away the hair dryer. "I'm going to ask Doctor Charlie about the treatment."Tyler responded and slowly stood up. He just woke up from suffering from a fever for four days, and taking a shower consumed most of his energy. Thus, his body swayed unsteadily as he stood up.Vicky quickly came to help him and mumbled, "You can't even stand up steadily, yet you insisted on taking a shower."Speaking of that, she recalled what she saw just before.Appearance-wise, Tyler was lean. As a matter of fact, his figure was perfect, very muscular and toned with six abs. His lower and upper body proportions
Before Vicky finished her sentence, Tyler had guessed what she was going to say and cut her off, "I do mind.""Guess I'll have only Doctor Charlie to ask, then…" muttered Vicky.Vicky much rather drew a handsome young guy like Tyler than an old man. Nonetheless, she took her drawing board, wanting to ask Doctor Charlie to be her model.Since she had to stay in the hospital, there were not many choices out of the people she was close with and those willing to let her draw them.When Vicky was about to leave the ward, she heard Tyler speak in his deep, cold voice. "Wait."Vicky looked back. "What is it?"Tyler furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "I'll let you draw me, but you have to give me after you're finished."Vicky's eyes twinkled. "Sure! The professor will only give us back the painting after he's done taking scores, though. I can give the drawing to you after that. What do you say?"Tyler accepted this reluctantly with a short hum.…One day, Vicky was in the ward when she
Vicky, who was in a good mood, explained, "Alex got addicted to the food in the restaurant we ate in. He was afraid he was going to be hungry later, so he had takeaways… The restaurant is very famous, and there were many people. Their serving time was quite slow, so we had to wait for his takeaways. That's why I was late.""Alex?"Vicky answered, "He's my childhood friend. Alex Torres."The name indicated her friend was a dude."You two are very close?"Vicky nodded. "Yeah. Since I was a kid, I've been best friends with Alex and Sebastian. Alex and his family moved to another country, and we haven't met for a long time."Once Alex knew she was studying in Molivia, he came to visit her immediately. Vicky did not have any friends here, so when Alex came to visit, it chased away her sorrow and brought her happiness.The gentle smile on Vicky's face irritated Tyler, and he found himself feeling rather vexed. It was then he recalled what she said to him before.'If you have a friend
Vicky nodded. "How did you know?""You love spicy food, and I've never seen you ask for them to exclude parsley specifically... This takeaway is obviously not for you." Conflicted emotions filled Alex's eyes. "You'd always be on your phone whenever it's lunchtime for the past two days, asking the doctor if your friend is eating properly, or asking your friend what he feels like eating."Unable to suppress it any longer, Alex finally asked the question on his mind for the past two days. "Vicky, this friend of yours is a man that you're quite close with, right?"Alex had never been a perceptive man, and the fact that he was asking about it showed just how obvious Vicky's behavior was."I told you that this friend of mine helped me out a lot, and the money he gave me surpasses market value for the service I provide, so I can't just leave him there to rot... Besides, he doesn’t know how to take care of himself, and if I don't keep a close eye on him, he might get sick again, so I have
