Chelsey had cared for Lucas for three whole years without him ever complimenting her.

He even thought she'd only done what she was supposed to since she'd taken money from them. Now, though, he was starting to sing her praises.

Once again, she couldn't help thinking of him as a changed man.

She felt bittersweet as she said, "I'm not a god or anything. I can't make you recover with a few simple massages. It's the doctors' treatments that worked out. I only helped a little."

"No, I think your massages were the key." Lucas transformed into the ultimate clingy husband; he refused to let go of her hand.

As a creative type, Chelsey's hands were smooth and supple. Her fingers were slender and so delicate that they seemed to have been carved from the finest marble. Yet these hands had cared for him for three years.

Lucas' heart twisted painfully as he looked at them. His thumb, the only finger free from the gauze, tenderly grazed against the back of Chelsey's hand. It felt even smoothe

    There were all sorts of supplements and snacks piled outside the room.Timothy walked into the hospital room and placed the food he'd brought on the coffee table. When he saw how Lucas lay in bed like a mummy, he couldn't help laughing. "My, is this really the almighty scion of the Yates family? Are you sure it's not a recently unearthed mummy?"Lucas glared at him. It was too bad he couldn't move at the moment. Otherwise, he would've given Timothy a punch. The latter had to have come to stir up trouble.Chelsey suppressed her laughter and said, "I think he looks like a mummy, too. I just didn't have the nerve to say anything."She was afraid it would hurt Lucas' ego. When Timothy saw how haggard she looked, his heart ached. He asked gently, "You didn't get enough sleep last night, huh?""Yeah, I couldn't fall asleep." She rubbed her eyes, trying to wake herself up. She smiled at Timothy, but her eyes were still full of fatigue.Lucas wasn't too pleased to see Chelsey smile at

    In the past, Chelsey wouldn't even have dared to dream about Lucas cooking for her. He was a bit of a male chauvinist; he didn't think men belonged in the kitchen. In his mind, men should either be suited up in boardrooms or donning military garb and charging on the battlefield.Aprons weren't meant for men. But when Lucas saw how happy Chelsey looked eating Timothy's cooking, he found himself wanting to cook for her. He supposed it wouldn't be too bad for him to put an apron on every now and then.Besides, he was a lot more considerate now. He could fill Chelsey's plate with food, too.Chelsey couldn't help giggling when she saw Lucas getting jealous. "Sure, I'll wait for you to cook for me when you've recovered. Don't let me down, alright?""I won't!" he said, looking serious.Timothy's expression hardened at what a suck-up Lucas was now being when he used to be such a bully toward Chelsey. He said to Chelsey, "You said you wanted to go to Vegviser Mountain with me, right?

    Timothy hadn't ever won a battle in his war against Lucas. Things had been like this three years ago; there was no change now.Lucas was swathed in bandages again after getting his wounds restitched. He looked even more like a mummy than before. Chelsey was both exasperated and amused by this. "Stay still from now on."Lucas' brows were tightly furrowed. "I was worried you would really leave with Timothy.""I wouldn't have; Tim was just poking fun at you." She knew Timothy well enough to understand that he was only standing up for her. He didn't think she should forgive Lucas so easily. "Focus on making a full recovery. I won't go anywhere.""Thanks, babe." Lucas felt much more at ease with her promise.Chelsey sat by the bed and held his hand. She felt rather proud as she said, "So many people were waiting outside to see you, you know. I didn't know any of them; they just thought you were brave after watching the videos of the incident."They thought you were amazing for p

    Chelsey could tell it was Shannon's voice. She straightened up with a slight frown as she said, "Shannon's here.""Yeah." Lucas didn't want to see Shannon, but she'd already barged into the room.When she saw Lucas lying in bed, swathed in bandages, tears streamed down her face. "Luke, how did you injure yourself so badly? How do you expect me to live if anything were to happen to you?"She threw herself at Lucas as her wails reverberated around the room.Chelsey stood to one side and watched her coldly. After bawling her eyes out for a while, Shannon wiped her tears elegantly and said to Chelsey, "Thanks for taking care of Luke. Now that I'm here, you can go. After all, you two are divorced, and I'm his girlfriend. I'll take over from here."Shannon's appearance suddenly reminded Chelsey that she and Lucas were already divorced.Lucas looked at Shannon and said calmly, "The urine bag should be full by now. You should go empty it."He couldn't get out of bed, so he had to

    Chelsey shook her head. Shannon thought it was easy to care for a patient.It took Shannon a while to suppress the nausea. She stumbled out of the bathroom, looking wan as she leaned against the doorjamb. She said slowly, "Luke, I just remembered I um … I have something to do, so um … I'll visit you again in a few days … Bye."She drifted out of the hospital room. Chelsey watched her leave. She couldn't stop herself from laughing.Meanwhile, Lucas couldn't help looking at Chelsey with heartache. Her hands were also meant to create masterpieces, yet she'd done just about anything for him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's get a caregiver. You don't need to do these things from now on.""No, it's fine." Chelsey shook her head. "You're injured everywhere, and caregivers can be rough sometimes. I wouldn't be able to rest easy knowing they were manhandling you."In the past, she'd gotten professional training in caregiving and massaging so that she could care for Lucas. Sh

    Josie had just been discharged from the hospital and was recuperating at home. Lucas had hired a caregiver to take care of her. She hadn't been allowed to use her phone lately, so she didn't know anything about Lucas being hospitalized after being seriously injured.Lucas had Chelsey call Josie to tell her he was away on a business trip and would only be back after some time. Chelsey had also told her to take care of herself while he wasn't around.Josie didn't suspect a thing. After all, Lucas had recently delayed much of his work to care for her. Besides, he always disappeared for a week or two when he was busy.It was because of this that she could recuperate in peace. She was seated in the living room when she heard Shannon's voice. Initially, she thought Chelsey had dropped by. When she saw that it was actually Shannon, her expression darkened."What are you doing here? I already told you that I don't want to see you. Get out!" Josie detested Shannon more than anything els

    "Josie …" Shannon was lost for words. This wasn't what she'd expected! She thought that her donating blood for Josie's blood transfusion would lead to Josie helping her and Lucas get back together. Why was Josie suddenly accepting her as a goddaughter?What the hell?When Josie saw how reluctant Shannon looked, she asked pointedly, "What, you're not interested?""I … I am …" Shannon was worried that if she were to turn Josie down, Josie would get mad. Then, she wouldn't even be allowed to be Josie's goddaughter. She had no choice but to reluctantly agree."That's good." Josie smiled. "Per local custom, I'll buy you some cutlery. You'll be considered my goddaughter once you have a meal with that cutlery."Shannon's lips twitched. "Alright."Josie summoned the caregiver. "Janet, Janet, could you come here for a second?""Yes, ma'am." Janet Lowe came over."Could you go to the nearest goldsmith and buy me a set of silver cutlery? I'm going to take Shannon as my goddaughter today

    Although Timothy's words sounded harsh, he was speaking out of concern for Chelsey.If she were to forgive Lucas and continue being his caregiver, their divorce would be pointless.Repaying a favor and sacrificing your happiness were two different things.Timothy couldn't understand Chelsey.Chelsey's lips twitched. She was so choked up that she couldn't speak for a moment.On the hospital bed, Lucas responded anxiously, "Chels, you are my wife, not my caregiver. I won't treat you like one again. Don't leave, Chels. Don't leave me."Chelsey looked at Lucas and then at Timothy.In the end, she chose Lucas.She walked to the bedside and held his hand. "I won't leave, don't worry."Looking back at the heartbroken Timothy, Chelsey gave him a small smile.Her smile was sad yet decisive."Tim, thank you for your care and love. As a caregiver or a wife, I will always be by Lucas' side. You can leave now. Thank you."Ten years of love couldn't be given up overnight.No matter what

    Sandra flashed a satisfied smile as she wrapped her arms around Micah's neck and kissed him. "Please be gentle. I'm afraid it'll hurt… Mmm…"An hour later, Sandra lay limp in Micah's arms. Both of them were drenched in sweat.Although the car was not spacious, it did not affect Micah's performance. Sandra was very satisfied with him. He turned to look at the sleepy Sandra and gently asked, "Does it still hurt?""Yeah…"Sandra did not expect it to hurt so much to the point she'd cried in pain.Now, she was exhausted. She did not even have the strength to keep her eyes open.Micah reached out to gently wipe away Sandra's tears. "Are you satisfied?""Yeah," Sandra replied as she embraced him tightly. At that moment, all she wanted to do was sleep. Sandra then fell asleep. She had no idea how she returned to the hotel.When she woke up, it was already morning.Micah was lying beside her, and neither of them was wearing anything. Her eyes lit up at the sight of his hand

    Micah's judgment may be somewhat clouded, but he was still aware that he and Sandra were in the car.It was their first time doing the deed. Wasn't it too intense for it to happen in the car?"Let's head back to the hotel. The car is too small," Micah said as he grabbed Sandra's hand, his voice hoarse but sexy. Sandra looked at him seductively. "Are you sure you can hold on until we return to the hotel? I can't stand it anymore. I want it now…"She stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips as she spoke. Every move of hers was charming.Micah was both amused and helpless at the sight of Sandra's eagerness. He had never met such an unrestrained woman like her. She was indeed a lethal poison. Micah's throat felt like it was on fire. He swallowed hard and replied, "It's our first time. Let's not be hasty. We can enjoy it better in the hotel room."Sandra was not the only inexperienced one. It was also Micah's first time. He felt that doing it in the car lacked a sense

    Sandra's suggestive tone caused Micah's heart to flutter, and indescribable images appeared in his mind again. His lips trembled as he nervously asked, "W-What do you want to do?""What do you think I want to do?" Sandra winked at him and then licked her lips. Everything was implied but left unsaid, understood without being spoken.Micah felt both excited and awkward. He cleared his throat before replying, "It's too fast.""We'll get there eventually. So, why not do it sooner? We can enjoy it in advance," Sandra said seriously.Once again, her logic left Micah at a loss for words.He took a deep breath to remain rational. Micah refused to let his instincts take the reins once more. "We've just started dating, and there's no guarantee we'll continue to do so. I don't want to hurt you if we don't work out."But Sandra did not seem to care. "Why is your thinking still so conservative in this day and age? I'm not concerned about it, so why should you?"She merely wanted hi

    Sandra did not answer Xenia's question. Instead, she replied, "The crawfish here tastes good. It's big and fresh."But Xenia showed no interest in the crawfish. She was captivated by Micah, her eyes lingering on him."Sandra, is he your boyfriend or bodyguard?"Sandra shot Xenia an annoyed glance and answered, "He's my boyfriend. What's it to you?""Nothing much. Your boyfriend suddenly rushed onto the stage and disrupted the filming. Mr. Dodd was pissed. Tell your boyfriend he shouldn't do that again. Even if he wants to become famous, that's not the way."Xenia's words were somewhat sarcastic, leaving Sandra feeling uncomfortable.The latter retorted, "My boyfriend doesn't want to become famous. He rushed onto the stage because he saw I was feeling unwell. "If it weren't for him, I'd have died by now. And if someone dies, the filming can't continue, anyway."Sandra did not know hypothermia could be so severe. She thought she could have toughed it out.Fortunately, Micah h

    Sandra could break up with Micah next month if everything went smoothly.She playfully winked at him and said, "It's your turn to feed me."Micah choked on his saliva upon hearing that.They were in public, so he dared not do it at all. However, Sandra had already opened her mouth."Hurry up and feed me."Left with no choice, Micah peeled a crawfish and fed her.After eating that, Sandra smiled and demanded, "I want you to feed me with your mouth.""Don't push your luck."At that point, Micah's face had turned red as a tomato.Despite being an upright person, Sandra had led him astray. His mind was now filled with unwholesome thoughts."I will push my luck," replied Sandra. She then pouted coquettishly. "Quick! Feed me!"She had thoroughly gotten the better of him.Micah became a man without principles, only capable of spoiling his girlfriend. He could not bring himself to refuse her demands.With a crawfish in his mouth, he turned to feed it to Sandra.She aggressi

    Sandra did not want to order takeout at the hotel.So, she searched online for a highly-rated restaurant and asked Micah to drive there.Sandra had chosen an eatery that specialized in crawfish. Upon their arrival, she boldly ordered 22 pounds of crawfish, some side dishes, and beer. The crawfish soon arrived, and the plate was almost as big as the table. Sandra rolled up her sleeves and immediately dug in. She also poured beer for herself and Micah."I need to drive, so I can't drink," said Micah."Don't worry. We can just call for a driver. Let's drink together. It's no fun drinking alone."After saying that, Sandra picked up her glass and took a big gulp.She even put her feet up on the chair while eating, displaying her carefree demeanor.It was Micah's first time seeing a female celebrity who was unconcerned about her image. He suddenly found Sandra's bold and candid character rather adorable.As Sandra savored the crawfish, she paired each mouthful with sips of be

    Trevor was even more handsome up close.He was a gentleman, smiling as he asked, "Can you stand steady?""I should be able to," answered Sandra.Initially, she was standing just fine, but then Trevor helped her. Sandra suddenly felt her legs go weak. Perhaps she could not stand steady now.Trevor helped her to the side and said, "You should sit here for a while. Continue filming when you feel better.""Alright."At that moment, Sandra hated herself for not bringing paper and a pen with her. Otherwise, she would have gotten Trevor to sign an autograph."He's so good-looking!" Sandra exclaimed inwardly.After that, Trevor returned to the stage. Owen dared not make a sound and only glared at Sandra, who innocently pursed her lips.How could Owen blame her? Trevor was the one who wanted to help her, after all. Suddenly, Sandra sensed an unfriendly gaze and instinctively turned to look. She immediately caught sight of Micah's darkened expression, his eyes gleaming with a hi

    Sandra was not embarrassed by Micah's stare. Instead, she flirtatiously blinked at him and asked, "Do you want to join me for a shower?"Startled, Micah averted his gaze and quickly turned away. "Why didn't you close the door when you shower?"Sandra confidently replied, "Why should I close the door? You're not a stranger. Besides, you've seen every part of my body multiple times."Micah could not help but wonder if she was truly a woman. Why wasn't she shy or reserved? Sandra was bolder than any man. Micah gulped nervously before saying, "That's one way to put it. But don't you feel like you're at a disadvantage by letting me see your body?""If you think I'm at a disadvantage, why don't you show me yours? That way, we'll be even." Sandra then beckoned with her finger. "Come here. Let's shower together."At that moment, Micah felt that Sandra was up to no good, like a witch from a fairy tale.After hanging the shirt she requested on the wall, he turned to leave the b

    Sandra burst out laughing after hearing that. She was surprised that Micah had a sense of humor and could crack jokes.Their relationship took another step forward without them realizing it.If it had not been for the filming in the afternoon, Sandra would have wanted to make love with Micah immediately. She wanted to get it done as soon as possible because she had been waiting for this day for too long. After giving birth, she could focus on her career without needing to worry about all these matters anymore.Sandra had made a deal with her parents. They would take care of her child, and she did not need to be involved. The child would grow up and inherit the family business, while she could do whatever she liked and live a carefree life.In actuality, Sandra had no desire to date or marry. She just wanted to be alone.She could find several men to accompany her if she ever felt lonely.Meanwhile, Micah was completely unaware of Sandra's plans. He was even planning to in
