Chapter 71

Chapter 71: An Awkward Attempt at Apology

Every time Serena went to look after Logan as he recovered, Holly stood there, looming over them. It made her feel awkward and judged as she did her work. She peeled Logan’s hospital gown back, opening it up over his chest and down far enough that he was almost entirely exposed in the front. Keeping her eyes trained on the bruises down his abdomen, she gently pressed them, watching for reactions of pain. “What are you doing?” Holly asked when Serena palpated Logan’s stomach. Her hands were rather close to his exposed groin, but she was doing a proper medical examination. Serena’s eyes flitted to Logan’s and he smirked at her. Shaking her head, Serena covered Logan up again. “A medical exam, to make sure that there is no internal damage that we missed initially and to make sure he is healing properly,” she said shortly.

“Holly, why don’t you go get me something to eat?” Logan asked. “You don’t have to be here for this.” Holly rolled her eyes, but she left. “You didn’t have to send her away,” Serena argued. “I’m capable of doing my job with an audience.” Logan chuckled. “Oh, I know,” he said. “I just thought it might be awkward to be mostly naked in front of two females. That hasn’t happened to me for a while.”

Despite herself, Serena cracked a stiff smile. Logan was trying to joke with her, that meant he wasn’t mad at her anymore, but she still hadn’t decided how she felt about

him.

She’d been so concerned about him, had wanted to save him. She’d gone to great lengths to save his life and even broken some rules of medical practice. Still, she wasn’t ready to forgive him yet. “Let me change your bandages,” she said curtly. Logan’s smile faded. He gave a nod. She changed the bandages on his throat first, an attempt to keep him from talking. Then she changed the bandages on his chest. Nothing looked infected, and he was healing quickly, as was expected. “You‘re healing fast.” Serena said, making a note on his chart. “You’ll be able to leave here soon.” “Great,” Logan said. He winced as he tried to sit up. Automatically, Serena went to his side and helped him up. Then she propped his pillows up behind him. He leaned back into the added support, His hospital gown had fallen open again. Serena groaned and stepped back. Logan hastened to close it again.

You seem awfully eager to get me naked again,” he teased her, Serena shook he12:47)
