She clenched her fists.
But a little fox spirit shouldn’t get angry, to avoid wrinkles.
Hold it in, don’t get angry, don’t get angry.
After all, she owed him a life. Once he was healed, she would slowly deal with his bad temper.
Tiana Thorne’s lively fox-like eyes curved into two little moons. With her charming lips slightly raised, she walked in boldly: "Oops, my comprehension really is a bit poor."
Aiden Shaw’s sharp brows furrowed slightly, his gaze cold and deep.
Tiana didn’t give him a chance to speak further and looked at Jesse Rivers: "Where’s the dicine kit?"
"In the bedroom." Jesse finally let out a sigh of relief. After all, with Miss Tang’s personality, it’s not impossible she might really walk away.
Tiana lazily said, "Get out, and close the door."
Jesse: "..."
So overbearing yet so alluring...
He could only comply, stepping back without daring to glance again at Mr. Xiao’s eyes.
After the room was closed, Tiana walked over to him and sat down by his bedside.
Aiden Shaw, who had been icy and forbidding earlier, now seed to have lost so of his coldness in his brows.
It seed he was really seriously ill, lacking the energy to give her a cold look.
Tiana reached out, intending to place the back of her hand on his forehead to check his temperature. He turned his head, avoiding her.
Tiana was about to get angry, but looking at his slightly pale face, she took a deep breath again.
In this mont, she noticed his thin lips had lost their color, lacking the usual dignity. He looked like a little pitiful creature blown by the cold wind all night.
He must have just bathed, the unique cold fragrance and musky orchid scent was very clear, his softened dark hair had an indescribable soft warmth.
Feeling sothing tide over her heart, Tiana lazily curved her red lips, her eyes filled with amusent, taking on the deanor of a genuine rogue: "Why is Brother Xiao avoiding , hmm?"
Aiden Shaw: "..."
He used his gaze to signal her not to play with fire.
Oh!
Tiana’s smile grew more enchanting. What she loved most was to see others wanting to kill her but helpless to do anything.
Extending her delicate fingers, she raised an eyebrow and smiled mischievously: "Is Brother Xiao afraid that my hands aren’t warm enough?"
"Miss Tang, mind your manners."
Here we go again!
What she hated most was "mind your manners."
"Brother Xiao’s teasing is getting more interesting. I’m not a little chubby girl, why should I feel heavy myself?"
Aiden Shaw’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, his eyes hinting at a deep, unfathomable expression, sparkling brilliantly.
"Since Brother Xiao thinks my hands are cold, let warm them up?"
With that, her two soft little hands slipped into the quilt, her eyes mischievous, and settled right on his stomach: "A man with a high fever is good for warming hands."
Aiden Shaw: "..."
Seeing him furrow his brow, at a loss for words, Tiana slowly curved her lips.
Slowly, her smile froze on her face. Even through the pajama, she could feel his body burning hot.
Tiana’s eyes deepened, her voice becoming serious: "Mr. Xiao, you’re a big man, don’t be stubborn with . Your body is your own. I’m just treating you, not forcing you."
Though, at this mont, she did look a bit like she was about to force him.
Aiden Shaw’s sexy Adam’s apple moved up and down montarily, his gaze on her softly shifting with a hint of warmth.
Only then did Tiana retract her hand, noticing he swallowed a few tis. She walked towards the table, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to him: "You’re burning up right now. To prevent dehydration, you need to drink more hot water."
"...Thank you." Aiden Shaw said faintly.
Tiana was slightly stunned, a little surprised. This guy actually said those words...
Aiden Shaw averted his gaze, lightly coughed, and after drinking the water, his throat seed much more comfortable. He spoke, his voice brisk, like clear liquor: "Miss Tang, please start."
Tiana smiled: "You can’t avoid anymore."
Aiden Shaw said nothing.
Tiana’s eyes once again showed a trace of mischief: "Brother Xiao, looking like anyone can push over right now, if you keep avoiding, if I decide to do sothing to you, there’s nothing you could do ~"
She thought he would again coolly shut her down with a word, but unexpectedly, he suddenly looked at her.
Their eyes t, his dark brown eyes were very deep.
Tiana only felt that in a mont, there seed to be a trace of danger in his eyes, which quickly dissipated.
"Why are you looking at ?"
Aiden Shaw moved his lips, his voice soft and lazy from illness: "You’re noisy."
Tiana imdiately recalled the first ti he said those three words to her, suddenly feeling her lips warm.
She awkwardly averted her gaze: "You talk a lot for a sick person."
Aiden Shaw said nothing, closed his eyes, leaning against the bed, seemingly very tired.
Tiana guessed it was likely the high fever was caused by his injured left arm.
She had already forgotten who the man lying here was. At this mont, she was just a doctor wanting to ease the patient’s pain, her voice unconsciously softening: "Don’t move, I’ll remove the bandage to check your arm. It will hurt a little, bear with it."
Aiden Shaw slightly opened his eyes, his gaze on her hazy and deep.
This seed to be the first ti he’d seen her like this.
Suddenly, pain ca, and he frowned slightly.
She was focused on the injured area, softly: "Don’t move, okay?"
After speaking, she saw the swollen, bruised area on his injury, indeed as she suspected.
Tiana furrowed her brows, and suddenly, a wave of complex emotions surged inside. This injury was for her, and it would leave aftereffects.
The earlier displeasure from being turned away was slowly dissipating.
Aiden Shaw’s deep voice ca through: "Is it serious?"
Tiana replied: "Mr. Xiao, if that hit wasn’t on your arm but your head, I’d probably be attending your wake for three years."
Aiden Shaw: "..."
"I’ll apply so dication and re-bandage with a splint, bear with the pain."
Aiden Shaw: "Okay."
Tiana was applying anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving dication. She was focused, her hands nimble, massaging the ointnt into the skin lightly and evenly.
He stayed silent for a long ti. Tiana didn’t hear his voice, pursing her lips to speak again: "If it hurts, you should tell , okay?"
Aiden Shaw: "Hmm."
Tiana kept asking persistently.
She continued to massage quietly for a while and said, "I’ll keep massaging until the swelling goes down. If you’re tired, just sleep."
"Aren’t you going back?"
"I’ll leave tomorrow, you sleep."
"Okay."
Tiana didn’t look at him either, focusing on reducing his swelling and pain. This massage not only used up more than half a bottle of ointnt but also took nearly an hour.
The room was very quiet. She thought, Mr. Xiao should be asleep.
She was tired, her waist sore. Seeing that his arm’s swelling had mostly gone down, she finally sighed in relief.
Raising her head, she intended to check his forehead temperature.
In that instant, she looked into his eyes, like the cosmic stars, deep and vivid, tinged with a thin misty blue that made her heart skip a beat.
He wasn’t actually asleep?
