novelLet Me Help You

Instinctively, she told him, "Let me help you. Your leg is still weak and you may slip and fall."
"..." He said nothing.
"Don't be shy!" She could not help exposing her true self again.
Silence again.
Isn't this something a man would say to a woman instead?
Dipping his voice, he ordered, "Get out."
She reckoned that this might be too private for her husband to do in front of her."Alright, I'll leave. But you must be very careful. I'm outside; call me if you need anything!"
When she did not hear from him after waiting a while outside the toilet, she started to worry over him. Just as she was about to dash in, she heard him calling her name.
She hurried in, and there he was, waiting for her while seated.
His wounds did nothing to diminish his good looks!
The white-colored bandages did not make him appear awkward. On the contrary, the frail look softened his masculinity, so much so that she wanted to cradle him in her arms protectively.
The man would have frowned in disdain if he knew what was on her mind.
"Come over here."
Obeying his words, she immediately walked over to him.
But she was so mersmerized by his delicate look that she had to clap both sides of her face with her palms to remind herself not to indulge in daydreaming
He watched her slap herself with silent bemusement.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Hubby, you're too good-looking, for real. I can't help blushing..."
How can he still be so seductive when he's sick?! What a villian!
"..."
This was her second time complimenting his looks. If these words had come from someone else, that person would not have a chance to appear before him again.
As a proud and tough macho man, he would not allow someone to use the term "good-looking" on him.
But as this was coming from his beloved wifey, he had to swallow the compliment quietly.
By then, the girl had walked up close enough to observe the wet patches on him."Did you take a shower just now?"
"I only gave myself a wipe-down." He had a compulsive need to keep clean, and he had to wash himself even though he was injured.
"But your wounds should not touch water. There's no hurry to get a bath these next few days, right?" Even though he had only wiped himself, the wet towel might still drip residual water onto his wounds!
The man did not reply to that.
"Wet wounds can lead to scars easily!"
"That is not important."
"It may not mean anything to you but it is significant to me! You're my husband, I don't allow any scars on you!"𝗳𝐫ee𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃ov𝘦𝚕 - 🅽🅽novel
He was stunned into silence.
This lass is becoming more and more demanding.
"You are not allowed to touch water until a scab has formed over the wound!" she added.
"That's not possible."
She thus had to coax him, "Come, don't be stubborn here. Be good."
"Stubborn?" He was taken aback. No one had ever used that term to describe him even when he was a small kid.
"Yes, don't be stubborn. I'm half a doctor now so you have to listen to me. Besides, this is for your own good. It'll promote wound healing. As a patient, you have to behave and be good."
In the past, it was only him telling her to be good. She finally had her turn now!
"..."
No one had dared to say such things to him, not even his parents. So it appeared that his meek wifey was a very bold and daring girl, indeed!
And he found it strange that, somehow or other, he could not bear to put her down despite what she had said to him.
However, being good despite being asked was not possible for him.
Still, he said nothing and merely allowed her to help him onto the wheelchair.
After she pushed him back to the bed and helped him settle in, with nothing else to do, she kept staring at his perfect profile.
Although she had been married to him for some time, she had never observed him so closely like now.
And she was awestruck by her husband's perfect features with this careful look!
