Chapter 276

“I’ll apply the ointment for you,” he replied sternly.

“No need. I’m fine,” I croaked out in a raspy voice.

His gaze darkened. “Either I help you apply the ointment, or you do it yourself. Decide.”

I burst out furiously. “Ashton, will you please stop?” I was drained out, but he kept getting on my nerves.

He nodded, “So, I’ll do it?”

His insistence annoyed the hell out of me.

I sat up and gave him a forceful shove. He was caught unaware and toppled to the ground. “Ashton, can you stop annoying me? I’ve told you again and again to leave me alone. Are you deaf?”

As soon as I yelled that out, I flopped down and buried myself under the covers.

I hadn’t acted that way for some time.

Deep down, I knew it was wrong to lash out at him. But I couldn’t help myself.

I thought he would leave, but he wrapped his arms around me gently. “I shouldn’t have done that last night. I’m sorry.”.

He lowered his voice and cajoled, “Don’t be mad at me. You can beat me up later after you feel better. Eat something, will you?”
