Chapter: 108
“You sure have weird tastes. I refuse to use this as a blindfold, if you don’t mind,” he remarked as he threw the panties back to her.
“S–shut up!” she stuttered in embarrassment, her face turning pinker by the second.
Her pretty face was similar to a ripe peach covered in morning dew now. He was tempted to touch her.
“Fine, I’ll only apply the ointment on your back while you apply the rest on the front yourself,” he finally relented, for fear that she would storm out of the room.
“Hmph!” She pouted.
It was only after multiple bouts of hesitation that she finally agreed to his plan.
Her injuries needed to be healed, but it wasn’t like she could take care of the scars on her back properly without external assistance.
“I’ve already finished applying the ointment on your back evenly…” he trailed off before continuing in a cold voice.“… Now, on to your butt—”
After struggling to get away from him, Dahlia’s face was as red as a tomato. Beads of sweat trailed down her body. Her sultry eyes looked as if they could drill a hole into Dustin’s skull.
Didn’t he just apply some ointment on her? So why was she giving him such an embarrassed look?
“Haven’t you seen enough? Get out!” she screamed as she pulled up the blanket to cover her body.
Her slender waist and upturned hips were a sight to behold indeed.
“Just apply this ointment for three to five days, then your scars will disappear,” he said bluntly. He then put down the ointment before leaving the room sheepishly.
After about ten minutes, Dahlia exited the room fully clothed.
Compared to the woman full of rage and shame a moment ago, the woman in front of him now was her usual, cold self.
She pretended as if nothing had happened between them at all “Lend me your phone. I have a call to make,” she ordered as she rushed over to him while he was sipping on some chicken soup with her hand outstretched.
He didn’t make a peep as he handed his phone over to her without hesitation.
“What’s your lock screen password?” she asked.
“Your birthday,” he answered without even lifting his head.
His answer made her stiffen and a small corner of her lips turned upwards for a short while before disappearing again.
“Hmph!” She pouted, feigning disdain.
After unlocking his phone, the first number she dialed was her family, to update them on her whereabouts.
Following that, she dialed Lyra’s number.
*So good to finally hear from you again, Ms. Nicholson! Where have you been for the past two days? How come there weren’t any updates at all?” Lyra asked anxiously.
“Something came up, so a few things had to be put on hold. How’s the company doing now?” she asked.
