Neil had been in the hospital.
He was in the VIP ward at the burns unit on the top floor.
He had to be treated properly as he had lost a layer of skin on both arms. The doctors had wrapped his arms like
dumplings. If one did not look carefully, his arms looked like a robot’s.
He could not use his hands, so he could not play games on his phone. The only thing he could do was stare at the
ceiling on the bed. He would count how many lines were made of the carving on it.
Fortunately, Aurelia asked for leave from the tailor’s shop and stayed by his side every day.
She thought he was only hurt because he was protecting her. Apart from guilt, the love from before had
accumulated into a quick stream that drowned her heart.
She would feed him herself, as well as wipe his body.
Neil was hesitating at first.
However, after getting used to it a third or fourth time, he was enjoying it now.
Aurelia was gentle when she wiped him. Her hands were soft, and the temperature of the towel was perfect. He
would be warmed up as she wiped him, and many obscene things were playing in his head…
“Uncle,” Aurelia said in all seriousness while wiping. “The doctors said that you must keep your body cool since it’s
hot in Southeast Aciatic. Otherwise, you’ll get a heat rash if you keep lying here.”
“Okay.” Neil was enjoying himself. He did not even know what he was saying. “Then wipe more.”
She paused for a second and blushed. She continued to wipe him quietly.
However, she was going lower and lower with her kitten scratches… He was antsy, as if he was on fire.
He would embarrass himself if this went on!
He was the best actor. How could he embarrass himself? He could not, especially in front of her!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTherefore, he sat straight up abruptly.
That startled Aurelia. “Uncle, w-what are you doing?”
“Nothing.” Neil looked at her and quietly used both feet to cover his body with the blanket.
She put down the towel and went to peel him an apple.
“Hey, stop for a little bit,” he said softly. “Sit here. Let’s chat.”
Aurelia listened to him and sat next to the bed like a good girl.
Neil just looked at her quietly.
She had been in Southeast Aciatic for some time now. The weather was warmer here, and it was sunnier compared
to Chaiseland.
However, she seemed to be immune to UV. No matter how much sun she got, her tiny face remained fair. It was
the kind of fairness that many liked.
Southeast Aciatic had many desserts. She was a glutton, so she had gained weight throughout the year.
However, her waist remained small.
Neil smiled. The young lady who was currently sitting before him was even sexier than the young lady in nomadic
attire that he had seen the first time. He was charmed.
“What’s wrong, uncle?” Aurelia blinked her doe eyes.
When Neil snapped back his senses, he could not help but think he must have looked like a fool just now.
Therefore, the best actor, a master at controlling his expressions, sat up straight instantly. He looked at her coldly
and said, “Why don’t you… go back to work. It’s terrible to take such a long leave.”
Aurelia was stunned. Was he chasing her away?
“No need!” She quickly said, “May is understanding. She knows that I’m here taking care of you, so she told me
there’s no need to be back so soon.”
“T-Then go home to read. You have an exam coming up.”
“I’ve already done my revision. The exam shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Then…”
“Uncle! Just let me stay to take care of you!”
Neil’s heart melted. He would only give in to her.
“But…” He said in a testing manner, “Why are you staying with me day and night? What are we that you’re taking
care of me like this?”
Aurelia bit her lip and lowered her head.
He was glad and insisted on hearing “I like you” from her!
“Hey, why are you not talking?
“Aurelia, you can’t talk now?
“Tell me!”
Neil was frustrated.
However, Aurelia lifted her eyes slowly after falling silent for a moment. Her beautiful eyes remained clear. The
smile at the corner of her lips remained pure yet charming.
“Uncle, y-you must be thirsty, right?”
“What?”
“I made jujube soup at home. It’s been in the thermos. I’ll pour it for you!”
“Hey, I was…”
Aurelia turned around in a panic to get the jujube soup before waiting for him to finish speaking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer heart was pounding. She was very close to saying, “I like you”, but she could not say it, nor did she dare to say
it.
Aurelia then served a big bowl of jujube soup. She pretended not to see Neil staring at her as she fed him while
smiling.
His arms were wrapped, so he could not fight back.
Just like that, she fed him the entire bowl of jujube soup.
Later on, she said she even had chicken soup in the other thermos.
No matter what, she would feed him something as soon as he spoke.
Soon, she fed him seven to eight types of food.
Neil was stuffed and irritated.
“Aurelia!”
“Uncle, I even made—”
“I’m not eating anymore!” He kicked the blanket and hopped off the bed out of frustration.
He could not use his arms, but his legs were agile. He rushed to the bathroom as soon as he got off the bed.
“What’s wrong, uncle?”
“What else? Nature calls, get it!? You’re only feeding me. Can’t you let me pee every now and then?”
Aurelia was stunned and wanted to laugh.
However, Neil came out soon after he went in.
“Um…” He glanced at her angrily. “Come in!”
“What’s wrong?”
“Help me… take off my pants.” He uttered each word with great difficulty.
