A Successful Career After Divorce

Later, Ranita encountered a problem.

She needed to help Brendon wipe his body, all over, and massage his legs to prevent muscle atrophy from prolonged bed rest.

Ranita looked at Brendon and found him smiling at her. “I’m ready, go ahead.”

Ranita: …

It’s just wiping your body, don’t make it sound so ambiguous!

“How about I call the nurse?” Ranita hesitated for a moment and suggested.

“No! I want you.” Brendon pointed at her.

“But it was the nurse who did it before! Don’t be unreasonable!” Ranita was about to press the bell when he held her hand. “It’s expensive, don’t waste money.”

Ranita laughed. “So you’re treating me like a nurse?”

“Of course not! Even though the nurse is a man, it’s embarrassing to be seen by him! I have a body even men envy.”

Ranita stifled a laugh as she looked at him.

Why has he become so glib now?!

“Ranita…” The man held her fingers, gently shaking them, his expression full of pleading. Brendon was handsome, and when his eyes were soft, it made her heart melt.

Ranita softened.

“Lie still and don’t move!”

Ranita fetched hot water and carefully wiped him with a warm towel. Even though they had been married for several years, Ranita still blushed unconsciously.

“Turn over!” When wiping his back, Ranita pushed him gently, her voice soft and tender.

Brendon wished he could hold her and kiss her hard.

Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe to handle such actions. Brendon felt regretful and could only reach out to touch her cheek.

Ranita’s face turned even redder when he touched her suddenly.

“What are you doing?”

Brendon stared at her with dark eyes and squeezed out a sentence that made Ranita want to hit him: “Ranita, kiss me?”

“Turn over!” Ranita bared her teeth.

Brendon immediately used a tactic, covering his wound pitifully and said, “It hurts, kiss me and it won’t hurt.”

Ranita didn’t believe it.

“I’m not a painkiller.” Ranita huffed. “I don’t have that function.”

“You can comfort me.” Brendon didn’t give up, breathing heavily at the right moment, looking very uncomfortable.

Ranita softened again.

She reached out to touch his pale face, leaned in closer, stared into his dark eyes, and kissed him.

“Ahem!” At that moment, a few coughs came from the door.

Allen Stuart turned his eyes away awkwardly. “Sorry, I forgot to knock!” Allen Stuart scratched the back of his head, retreating while teasing, “You guys continue, I’ll come back later.”

Ranita’s face turned beet red.

“Allen, come in!” Ranita quickly poured out the water. In the room, Allen Stuart’s laughter could be faintly heard. “Brendon, why didn’t you tell me Ranita was here!”

“It’s late, what are you doing here? Finished with work?” Brendon’s voice was extremely serious, clearly not wanting Allen Stuart to be a third wheel.

“Yes, I’m done! I’m very efficient; everything is perfectly handled! When you get discharged, everything will be just as it was.”

Allen Stuart said curiously, “Where’s Ranita? Why hasn’t she come out yet? I’ll go check on her…”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Brendon quickly stopped him. “She’s shy; don’t be a third wheel here.”
