Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Washing the Little Rabbit’s Ears

He clearly had no intention of leaving.

Seeing his back was turned to her, Bai Su resignedly turned on the shower to rinse off.

Without turning his head, Yelias warned, "Don’t bend over. Don’t push yourself. Be careful not to tear your wounds."

"Hiss..." His warning came too late.

Tears streamed down Bai Su’s face.

Yelias looked at her with a hint of helplessness. "Susu, do you need help?"

Bai Su froze for a moment, then suddenly realized what that strange feeling she had been ignoring was.

Yelias’s attitude toward her was too natural.

She had assumed his casual demeanor was because he was a doctor who had seen many patients.

But when he called her name, she was startled to realize that wasn’t it.

This sense of familiarity felt more like he had known her and been around her for a long time.

A flicker of light crossed Yelias’s eyes before he explained casually, "My apologies. Is calling you Susu too intimate? Grandpa mentions you to me every day, calling you Susu, and I picked it up without thinking."

Bai Su’s suspicion was dispelled. "It’s okay."

She hastily finished cleaning herself up in a flurry and approached him, feeling a bit awkward.

Yelias was still pouring something into the bathtub.

She was a little curious. "What are you pouring?"

Yelias replied, "A Healing Potion."

"Even though you have a Healing Superpower, we still need to prevent your wounds from getting infected. You tore yourself down there, didn’t you? I can smell blood."

Bai Su’s face instantly turned bright red.

’His sense of smell didn’t need to be *that* good.’

He raised a hand and gently pinched one of Bai Su’s small rabbit ears. "Squat down."

Bai Su nodded frantically. As she squatted, her legs gave out, and she flopped onto the floor, accidentally bumping her head against his knee.

She tried to get up quickly, but a hand pressed her head down.

"This works too." Yelias removed his hand from her head and unwrapped some cotton swabs from nearby. "Come closer. I’ll help you clean your ears."

"Ah..." Bai Su was a little resistant. "My ears need cleaning too?"

Yelias explained, "After their heat cycle, a Dutch Rabbit’s body produces a large amount of a sweet secretion. It accumulates most in the ears and between the fingers. If it’s not cleaned out, it can easily cause redness and swelling, and the scent can create a security risk."

Bai Su scratched her head. She was clueless about these things, so she obediently rested her head on his lap and moved closer.

Yelias put on a new, clean pair of disposable gloves. He pushed aside her fleshy earlobe and poured the medicinal liquid into her ear canal.

"Hey!" Bai Su felt liquid enter her ear and instinctively shook her head wildly, flinging her ears and sending the medicine flying.

Yelias, who now had a face full of water: "..."

The little rabbit belatedly realized her mistake. She tentatively placed her small head back on his knee. Soaking wet, she blinked her big, helpless eyes at the doctor, looking terrified that he would be angry.

She couldn’t control the panic and fear welling up inside her. Ever since she was little, she’d always felt that people in professions like doctors and teachers had a naturally intimidating aura.

Yelias took a deep breath, his silver-gray eyes looking down. He gazed at her with a sense of helplessness, as if looking at a mischievous, disobedient child. "Susu, don’t shake your ears."

"O-okay..." Bai Su nodded obediently.

Yelias dripped the medicinal liquid into her ear canal.

Bai Su flinched instinctively, wanting to shake her head.

A large, dry hand suddenly reached out, easily cupping her palm-sized face, while his other hand pressed against the ear filled with medicine.

Bai Su squeezed her eyes shut uncomfortably, her brows furrowing together.
