Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 74

Nathaniel opened the car door and ordered, “Get in.”

“I need to get back to work,” Christina pointed out. She turned to leave, but Nathaniel wouldn’t let go and even opened the car door wider.

Instinctively, Christina resisted and angrily pushed the car door.

Following a thud. Nathaniel let out a muffled groan.

“Why didn’t you pull your hand back?”

Christina hurriedly pulled the door open with a worried frown and rushed to check Nathaniel’s hand. His fingertips and palms were red and swollen.

“Mr. Hadley, are you okay? We should go to the hospital in case there are fractures,” Sebastian interjected with concern.

“All right. Let’s go now!”

They soon got to the hospital, where Nathaniel took an X-ray. Thankfully, there were no fractures, but his palm was quite swollen. There was also a bloody mark on the back of his hand that required daily. disinfection.

“Don’t touch water, and make sure to take the medicine three times a day. Remember to wrap the gauze properly. You’ll be fine in a week or so.” After giving these instructions, the doctor told them to settle the fees.

In no time, Sebastian brought them the medicine and carefully explained the dosage to Christina.

“Mr. Hadley cannot touch water for the next few days. It’s inconvenient for him to stay in the hotel alone. Mrs. Hadley, would you mind if he stays at your place in the meantime?”

Christina looked up in surprise. “Stay at my place?”

Sebastian nodded confidently. “Mr. Hadley’s hand is injured, so he needs someone to take care of him. I won’t be able to attend to him all the time since I also have to work.”

Christina hesitated for a moment. Realizing she was the one who caused Nathaniel’s injury, she had no choice but to agree.

It was dusk when the two of them returned to the condominium.

Right after entering the house, Christina walked into the kitchen. “Are you hungry? I’ll make you some

oatmeal.”

Nathaniel looked around. The place was very clean, and there was a faint, refreshing fragrance in the

air.

He walked over to the couch and sat down. Since his hand didn’t really hurt that much, he turned on his tablet to check some documents.

The warm, golden light of the setting sun streamed in through the window with a cool breeze, blending with the enticing aroma of food from the kitchen.

“The food is ready. Come over and cat.”

Christina put her long hair into a casual ponytail and untied her apron.

They sat facing each other and ate, looking like a peaceful painting as none of them uttered a word.

After dinner, Nathaniel gently unbuttoned his collar with his uninjured hand. “Come in and help me

bathe.”

“What?” Christina exclaimed, her fork slipping from her grasp.

“I can’t bathe by myself,” Nathaniel insisted. Before she could even respond, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.

Eventually, Christina found herself in the bathroom, wiping down Nathaniel with her head buried between her shoulders. The water vapor in the air was slowly transforming into a cloud of mist, while the sound of trickling water filled her ears.

From time to time, her fingertips would inadvertently come in contact with Nathaniel’s sturdy muscles. Droplets of water splashed onto her arms, and her white dress had become somewhat damp.

“Can you put a little more strength into the back rub? Nathaniel complained.

Even someone wiping a table would use more strength than this!

Christina’s face turned tomato-red. “Why don’t you do it yourself?”

As the sound of the water drowned out her voice, she sounded like a whining cat.

“Sure, if you want my hand to get infected,” Nathaniel quipped with a deep voice and moved a few inches closer to her.

Christina narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she rubbed his back vigorously with the towel. Unexpectedly, the towel slipped from her hands, causing her to lose balance and fall onto Nathaniel.
