“Come on! Help me wash up.” Marcus lay down nonchalantly, waiting for her to assist him.
Millie furrowed her brow and replied, “I washed you just yesterday, so there’s no need for that today. You haven’t even broken a sweat.”
She lacked the courage to wash him while he was awake.
Marcus retorted, “Who says I didn’t sweat? You had me wrapped up all night, causing me to sweat like a pig. Come on.”
Ignoring his request, Millie turned her head back to her magazine.

“We can discuss it later tonight.”
However, shortly after she started reading, she heard a faint sound behind her.
Startled, she turned to find Marcus exiting the bed and unbuttoning his hospital gown with one hand.
Astonished, Millie exclaimed, “What on earth are you doing?!”
Once Marcus had undone all the buttons, he grabbed the scissors from a table nearby, cut off the sleeve around his wound, and transformed the gown into several rags that scattered to the floor.
It seemed as though he was displaying his physique.
As he cut, he remarked, “I can’t rely on a lazy woman like you, so I have to do it myself.”
Millie was incensed by his comment.
But, of course, she couldn’t let him go to the bathroom alone, as the doctor had cautioned against contact with water.
Millie quickly got out of bed, slipped on her shoes, followed him into the bathroom, and implored softly, “Please, stop. Taking a shower could get the plaster wet.”
If the plaster were to break, his wound wouldn’t heal properly.
Marcus began to unbutton his belt, asserting, “I reek of sweat!”
Millie sniffed and replied, “I don’t smell anything unpleasant.”
However, Marcus leaned closer, and Millie’s nose accidentally brushed against his chest, resulting in an unexpected kiss on his body.
In that fleeting moment, both of them froze, their faces turning crimson.
Millie covered her face with her hand and admitted, “I didn’t mean for that to happen.”
