Chapter 15

Chapter 15:

Eileen enjoyed a hot shower while Bryan chose a cold one. By the time Bryan was out of the shower, Eileen was already fully dressed. She quickly approached him and started loosening the belt of his bathrobe.

However, before she could proceed further, Bryan caught her hand. “Eileen, we have enough time for that,” he said.

Taken aback, Eileen glared at him. “I only intended to put some ointment on the wound on your shoulder. It won’t heal if it’s constantly exposed to water.”

Guiding him to sit on the bed, she carefully pulled down his bathrobe, revealing his muscular shoulder and part of his chest. Droplets of water shone on his collarbone, trailing down into the bathrobe’s fabric.

The wound looked worse being wet, and the color of the ointment didn’t make it look any better. As Eileen applied it, she softly blew on the area.

“This looks like it might be getting infected. It should stay dry. Make sure to apply this ointment daily,” she said.

After covering the wound with gauze, she caught Bryan gazing at her with intensity.

“Will you be able to do this for me every day?” Bryan asked.

Eileen adjusted his bathrobe and responded, “If you won’t take your health seriously, there’s only so much I can do. I’ll remind you about the ointment, but that’s all.”

At that moment, something in Bryan stirred. The care and attention from her sparked a newfound appreciation in him.

“Please change quickly. We need to head to the office now,” Eileen said, taking the medical kit with her to exit the room. She returned the kit to its place and made her way to the car to wait.

At eight sharp, she texted Vivian to inform her that she had picked Bryan up. Before she could receive a response, Bryan entered the car, compelling her to set aside her phone and start the vehicle.

As the car drove away, her phone chimed. A quick glance revealed a new message from Vivian. Bryan, who had also noticed the message was from Vivian, glanced at Eileen with a raised eyebrow, his look lingering for a moment.
