Hearing the voice, Leonard chuckled. "Are you inexperienced in helping others to take a bath, or do you want to leave me like the other maids?"
Mellisa. "..."
Why did she feel that since Leonard was sick, his mind was so messed up?!
He kept repeating the words 'flawed and useless' over and over again, showing how badly people treated him.
Mellisa looked at him helplessly, shook her head and said, "Young master, you misunderstood, I will go and warm the water now."
Leonard did not respond, but his thin lips lifted slightly, smiling slyly.
Months ago, Mellisa had always been rude to him.
Now, he felt that it was nice to be treated differently by Mellisa in his journey of selling his fake suffering.
But for heaven's sake does he need to pretend for life?!
Leonard was quietly proud in bed, but before Mellisa came out of the bathroom, Doctor Lawrence had arrived uninvited.
He immediately pushed open the door, still carrying the medicine box in his hand.
Seeing only Leonard lying on the bed in the spacious and bright bedroom, he chuckled. "Oh, why are you alone today?"
Leonard immediately made a bad face, tightened his brows, and narrowed his eyes at Lawrence. "Get out and come back later!"
He immediately ordered him to get out, and the sound of water coming out of the bathroom could be heard faintly in his ears.
Lawrence put his hand in his pocket and shook his arm. "What? Why are you still faking it with me? There's no one else here, so why..."
"She's inside!"
Leonard interrupted him, there was even a trace of tension in his voice.
Lawrence remained where he was, raising his eyebrows and narrowing his eyes. He was silent for a while, and everything became clear in an instant.
But even so, he still walked towards Leonard, took out a small white vial from the medicine box, bowed and said to him, "Remember to be meticulous in the smallest details. It's a vitamin, you can pretend it's your medicine."
Leonard glanced at him, stretched out his hand to take the medicine bottle, waved his hand and urged. "If you get out of there quickly."
Lawrence straightened his waist and snorted. "I understand why you're pretending to be like this. But I need to remind you that Lyn went to the main house at noon today. She and Luke have been very close recently. You have to think about your position, lest you lose your place in the family for a woman!"
Leonard was silent for a moment, his eyes turning cold. "Calm down!"
"It's good that you understand. Ah, if you want to take a walk, I can make an excuse to take you to the hospital. Later when you want to eat at a restaurant, I can book a private room for us. If you want to leave for a few days, I will arrange for my trusted men to get ready in your house."
Doctor Lawrence and Leonard had been friends for years
"Thank you, when are you coming back?"
Doctor Lawrence thought about it seriously, and gave a very vague answer, "I'll be right back."
Leonard nodded slightly, hearing the sound of the water in the bathroom stopping, he said, "There you go, hurry!"
Upon hearing this, Lawrence glared at him and left the room with the medicine box.
He wanted to see if Leonard had managed to play such a big game of chess just for that woman! The outcome of this incident would be really worth the wait!
After Lawrence left, Melissa happened to walk out of the bathroom.
She caught the movement by the door, her face slightly frozen, "Young Master, who's coming?"
Leonard spread his palms and showed her the medicine bottle. "My doctor has come to deliver medicine."
Mellisa glanced at the medicine bottle. She took it, opened the cap and inhaled ...
The smell in the medicine bottle was very weak, Mellisa smelled it carefully a few times, then put the cap on the bottle again and placed it on the table.
She didn't understand what kind of medicine it was, but she had been trained to smell some common poisonous drugs.
Now that she was in the Adlers' house, as Leonard was very careful with his surroundings, Mellisa had to be prepared for everything.
"Sir, the water is ready."
Leonard didn't ignore her gesture of smelling the medicine bottle. His eyes were inadvertently stained with tenderness. When he got out of bed, he lowered his head to hide his expression.
It was so nice to have her by his side!
Melissa helped Leonard walk to the bathroom step by step, and a warm atmosphere rippled in the air.
He moved slowly, but this made Mellisa sustain Leonard's weight.
Three minutes passed, and both of them were in the bathroom.
The bathrobe on Leonard's body had slipped from his left shoulder to his arm. The two of them stood in front of the tub and didn't move for a while.
Leonard bent down and touched the edge of the tub hesitantly. He unbuckled his belt and said, "There are some wounds on my body, please don't touch it when you wipe my body."
This sentence made Mellisa's twisted thoughts disappear in an instant.
She straightened her face, and her gaze fell on Leonard's body.
His bathrobe fell to the ground, he was wearing boxer shorts, and his sturdy body was full of bruises, including a 10 cm wound.
Melisa gritted her teeth, curled up her fingertips, almost her entire heart hurt.
"Young Master, this is… a stab wound?"
She clearly saw Leonard's back, there were many wounds on it. Judging by the markings, they must have been caused by a stick or blunt weapon.
Leonard nodded somewhat nonchalantly. "If you're scared, come out first."
Melissa shook her head and looked at the wounds carefully. Although injured, the wound was still visible. She somewhat felt surprised since the line closed in texture.
"These wounds have not been so dry, they are susceptible to inflammation when exposed to water."
Leonard calmly handled this. "It's okay, I won't die just because of that. You can wipe it off for me with water."
He wasn't stupid enough to jump straight into the tub.
Mellisa was getting more and more upset in her heart, she took Leonard's bathrobe from the ground and threw it into the bucket, and took a small towel. "Then I will try not to touch your wound. If it hurts, you can tell me any time."
Leonard did not speak, and remained where he was.
Seeing this, Mellisa dipped the small towel in the bath, and once it got wet, she wiped the man's body little by little.
Cheeks, neck, shoulders... everywhere, she wiped them carefully, along with a warm and damp towel that followed her movements.
Mellisa's movements were gentle, but the atmosphere became more and more ambiguous.
She avoided all the wounds on Leonard's body as much as possible. When the towel wiped the man's lower abdomen, Mellisa couldn't help but blink, and directly wiped his thighs.
Leonard watched Mellisa crouch in front of him, licking his back teeth, and said in a voice hoarse. "Why don't you wipe down the middle one?"
Mellisa turned back to soak the small towel in the tub. "I want to rub your feet first."
Leonard's eyes were dark and deep, staring straight ahead as Melissa started rubbing his thighs.
When Mellisa squatted down holding the towel that had been wrung out, in front of her was a horrendous sight.
Mellisa was stunned, she raised her head stiffly and looked at Leonard's expressionless face.
The atmosphere is beyond awkward!
At this time, Leonard nodded calmly.. "Sorry, I can't hold my erection, it's just a natural reaction."
