Chapter 563 Need Help Taking a Bath?
The cow didn’t leave. It stuck out its tongue and licked Lucas‘ shirt.
Lynn laughed as she watched. Quite a few cows in the area were staring at them.
This is pretty awkward, getting watched by a herd of cows.
They looked at each other and smiled.
“Lucas, what do you see in me?” Lynn asked, curious.

She didn’t have anything particularly dazzling. She was just an ordinary doctor. Aside from her family background, she didn’t have much to boast about.
Their families were well–matched, but as individuals, Lynn felt she wasn’t on Lucas‘ level.
Isabelle was a designer. Diana was a designer. Daisy owned an ad agency. But her? She was just a regular orthopedic surgeon.
“I see that you’re silly. Easy to fool!” Lucas said, half–amused, half–annoyed. He’d offered to carry her, but she refused. He just helped her walk instead. “Let’s go!”
Lynn pouted, limping as she leaned on his arm.
Luckily, they were almost at the bottom, or her leg would have been in real trouble.
By the time they reached the car, it was already dark. With fall setting in, the cold mountain wind cut right through her jacket.
She was wearing a jacket, but she hadn’t put in the insulated liner. She was freezing. She hadn’t expected it to be this cold.
Lucas felt her shiver and draped his own jacket over her shoulders.
“Should we just stay here tonight?” he suggested.
There was a hotel at the summit, just a few minutes‘ drive away. It seemed like the best option.
Lynn looked at the jacket on her, then at Lucas in his T–shirt.
She didn’t dare give it back. If she did, Lucas would just call her silly again, and he definitely wouldn’t take it back.
She got into the passenger seat, and Lucas drove.
They arrived at a hotel on the mountaintop. Lucas went to the front desk to check in. Lynn sat on the lobby sofa, rubbing her sprained ankle.
Two clerks were at the front desk. The older one stood at the computer. “Hello, sir. Do you have a reservation?”

Lucas said, “No reservation. I need one room. Put it on Anthony Vale’s account.

The clerk smiled upon hearing the boss‘ name and made a note. “Of course, sir. I’ll need an ID. Is it for one person or…” She glanced at Lynn, who was slumped over the sofa in the lobby.
“Two people,” Lucas said, taking out his ID.
The clerk added, “I’ll need the other person’s as well.”
Lucas frowned, then pulled out their marriage certificate. “Will this do?”
“Yes! Of course!” The clerk quickly processed the check–in.
Lucas caught the looks the two clerks exchanged. They probably think I dragged some poor girl up to the
mountains.
The check–in was quick. Lucas walked over to Lynn.
“I didn’t realize they were married,” one clerk whispered to the other. “Look at them. They almost look like an uncle and his niece…”
The clerk at the computer glanced over. It did seem a bit like that. It wasn’t that Lucas looked old, but Lynn did look very young.
“Keep it down. He’s a friend of Mr. Vale. Don’t gossip,” the other clerk warned.
They whispered among themselves.
Finally back in the room, Lynn collapsed onto the bed and closed her eyes.
“I’m exhausted…”
Lucas put their things down, then knelt to take off her shoes and check her ankle.
His rough fingers brushed over her ankle. Lynn’s sleepiness vanished instantly. She slowly sat up and looked at the man kneeling before her.
Lucas said, “It’s not a big deal. I asked the front desk to send up some ointment. I’ll put it on you in a bit. You should shower first and change. I’ll have your clothes sent out to be cleaned. They should be dry by morning.”
Lynn was speechless. Then what do I wear tonight?
Seeing that Lynn hadn’t responded, Lucas looked up and met her eyes. “You listening?”
“Yeah, I heard you,” Lynn said, her voice softer.
Lucas asked, “Need help taking a bath?”
“No!” Lynn said with an awkward laugh.

Lynn went into the bathroom. Lucas had someone bring up two bathrobes.
After her shower, Lynn had no choice but to put on the bathrobe. It felt drafty underneath.
Lucas went in to shower.
