Chapter: 152

Soon, Jonathan emerged from the bathroom.

His night robe was loosely tied, and he walked over to the bed and lay down.

Noticing Bethany hesitated, Jonathan furrowed his brow and commanded, "Come."

“Okay." Bethany quickly approached the bed and noticed a large, bruised cut on Jonathan's leg.

"Should I call a doctor? I'm worried I might hurt you!"

"No need. I prefer not to be touched by others."

Jonathan then lifted his nightgown, revealing his tight black underwear, which left little to the imagination.

Jonathan's face showed not even a hint of embarrassment.

However, Bethany turned away, her cheeks red, and began to treat his wound.

Then, a thought about Maddie crossed her mind.

She hadn't seen these black underpants in Jonathan's wardrobe when she packed them for him, so they must have been a recent purchase by Maddie during their business trip.

Distracted by her thoughts, Bethany accidentally pressed too hard.

While ointments were used to speed up healing, she somehow managed to cause Jonathan's nearly-healed wound to bleed again.

"You're bleeding! I need to find a doctor!"

Bethany tried to leave, but Jonathan caught her wrist and drew her close with his free arm.

"I'm okay."

“No, you're not! Your wound has reopened! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to!" She behaved like a child who had just made a blunder, panicking and running in circles.

Jonathan smiled helplessly. He couldn't bring himself to be angry with her.

"It's just a minor cut, don't worry."

“But I-"

"You haven't had dinner yet. I'll order us some food from the hotel," he interrupted her soothingly. “Why don't you take a shower first?"

Bethany suddenly became aware of their current situation. Any slight movement felt charged, and she was uncomfortably close to his lower body.

A certain tension became increasingly noticeable.

"Okay! I'll go shower now!"
