The air seemed to turn warmer, and they could almost hear each other's heartbeats in the silence.
Cordy had no idea why her heart started beating faster.
Wasn't she just taking care of a patient?
Wasn't he just a patient with a slightly better physique?
She tried her best not to let her bare hands come into contact with Lucas' body.
After wiping his torso, she went on to wipe his legs.
After a long while, Cordy was finally done.
She looked up and saw Lucas' face which was slightly flushed.
Right from the start, she focused on her hand movements and put aside all distractions. She did not expect to see the embarrassed look on Lucas' face as he laid down and let her wipe him down.
Cordy was stunned for a moment.
Was he pretending to be innocent or…
Her eyes shifted awkwardly, and she looked everywhere except at him.
She said, "I'm done wiping you down. I'm sure you don't need me to wipe certain areas, right?!"
Lucas' face flushed a deeper red.
He did not know why he suddenly felt so warm inside. He had never felt like this before. Although he had never let any woman draw so near to him, he would never react like this, with a quickened heartbeat and flushed face and ears.
His world was turning topsy-turvy after meeting Cordy!
"Don't even think about it!" Lucas bit out.
Cordy tutted in disdain.
She then handed the towel over to Lucas. "Hurry up."
She turned around to give Lucas privacy.
Lucas quickly wiped himself down. "I'm done."
Cordy turned around slowly.
