Natalie stared at Tobias, her eyes widening.
"I can eat on my own, I don't need you to feed me," she said.
"Let me do it, Natalie." Tobias was persistent.
Finally, Natalie gave in to Tobias' insistence.
She sat on the hospital bed as Tobias fed her, spoonful by spoonful.
His eyes never left her through the whole meal. His tender gaze was as bright as the moonlight.
Natalie felt her heart hammer.
After Tobias had finished feeding her, she suddenly remembered that he had not eaten yet.
"Let me feed you too." She looked at him in excitement, eager to give it a try.
To her surprise, he actually agreed to her request.
He ate obediently as she fed him his dinner.
At that instant, a wonderful feeling rose in her chest.
The president of YS Group was allowing her to feed him like a child.
She suddenly felt like it was such an achievement.
After dinner, Tobias' gaze fell on Natalie's hair.
"Natalie, your hair is a little messy."
Natalie subconsciously touched her hair and noticed that he was right.
She didn't know how long she'd been out, but her hair was messy and tangled. It didn't feel too clean either.
"I'll go wash my hair, then," she said.
"I'll help you."
Natalie turned to look at him.
Before she could say no, he had already followed her into the washroom.
They were staying in a luxurious private hospital, so each ward came with an attached washroom.
"Do you want to take a shower as well?" Tobias suddenly asked, shooting her a suggestive look.
Natalie froze.
She blushed. "No, I'll do it on my own later."
Tobias's didn't insist.
He could not guarantee what would happen if he really helped her shower.
He was fine with it, but Natalie was still weak, and she probably wouldn't be able to take it.
In the washroom, Tobias got Natalie to bend over the bathtub, while he turned on the tap.
He wet her hair, then shampooed it. He massaged her scalp gently.
This was the first time that Natalie had someone help her wash her hair.
She was amazed at how comfortable it felt, and couldn't help but close her eyes in pleasure.
Tobias's fingers were gentle and firm as he massaged every inch of her scalp.
After that, Tobias rinsed her hair and got a hairdryer from the nurse. He gently blew dry her hair.
Natalie felt as if she was living in a dream.
It was only not long ago when she had thought that Tobias would never wake up again. But now, he was standing right in front of her, washing and drying her hair.
When he finally finished drying her hair, he placed a kiss on her head. "You're all set."
Natalie wrapped her arms around Tobias' waist. "Tobias, things are perfect now. I feel really, really happy right now."
"I will make sure that you feel the same every day in the future, I promise."
Natalie nodded vigorously.
After a moment, something occurred to her.
