Xavier chuckled but didn't say anything.
After Norah cleaned up his wound and applied the medicine, she got a new bandage to wrap him up. The bandage needed to be wrapped around him from under his body. Norah sat on the edge of the bed, reaching under him as Xavier lifted his body to help.
As Norah reached for the bandage under him, it looked like she was hugging his waist from a distance.
The nurse's words flashed through Norah's mind, "He wasn't hurt in any vital areas, and it won't affect your marital life."
Her face flushed, especially when she thought about him possibly not wearing anything underneath. Her heart started to race.
After everything was sorted, Norah didn't dare to linger, "I bought you lunch, you should eat. I have to go busy downstairs!"
"Mm," Xavier put out his cigarette in the ashtray, "Thanks!"
"No problem!"
Norah put down the bandage and medicine, didn't dare to look at the man, and turned to leave.
In the afternoon, when it was less busy downstairs, Norah took a bowl of beef soup upstairs. Seeing Xavier sitting on the couch playing with his phone, she immediately frowned, "Who told you to sit up, lie down now!"
"I'm fine already!"
"Lie down!" Norah glared at him.
With no choice, Xavier lay down.
Norah blew on the soup a bit, "I had Zachary make beef soup. It's good for wound healing. Drink it while it's hot!"
Xavier frowned, "I don't like this."
After about two hours, all the rooms were pretty much tidy, except for the one Xavier was sleeping in. Norah knocked on the door, and only after Xavier responded did she push the door and enter.
Xavier was half-asleep, yawning, "What's going on out there? Are Zachary and the others playing cards again?"
"No, Mr. Flemmings, could you please get up and step outside for a bit?"
Xavier checked the time and found that he had been asleep until five in the afternoon. He just happened to need to use the bathroom. After drinking a large bowl of soup Norah brought, he had been dreaming about finding a bathroom.
As he tried to get up, Norah supported his hand, "Take it easy!"
"I'm fine!" Xavier supported his waist and walked out as usual.
As soon as he opened the door, Xavier was stunned.

This was soooooo sooooo good! I loved it! Thank you for the updates....
Then Melanie and Noreen will both understand that Emily is his wife, who he chooses and cares to be with. We’ve already had so much drama when Emily took off for three years hiding her pregnancy from Charlie. Emily has already confessed that the only man she loves is Kya father, which Charlie is. Now he needs to boldly claim the only woman he loves is Emily…I just had to add my two cents (he he he)....
