Chapter 253 Her Weird Little Wish

A faint ticklish sensation spread across the spot where her eyes lingered. Leighton’s eyelashes fluttered.

He looked down. Her slender fingers were spread open as she carefully measured his waist. The room was dead quiet, and he could feel her fingers moving slowly across his skin.

After she finished counting his abs, her hands drifted toward his back. He felt her soft fingertips press gently against his spine. A subtle tingly numbness seeped out from his bones and spread through his entire body. The faint smile on Leighton’s lips faded a little.

His hands hanging at his sides tightened slightly.

“You have eight abs!” Zora’s eyes lit up brightly.

She had just counted them. He really had eight!

The second she pulled her hands away, Leighton let out a quiet breath.

He swore letting her touch him only made her happy, while he was the one suffering through it.

Leighton didn’t have any improper thoughts. It was just that his waist was extremely sensitive. Having a young girl’s hands roaming over him felt like tiny ants crawling under his shirt.

“Zora, you can’t do this kind of thing with any other guy, okay?” he said suddenly. “I’m different. Other guys out there are bad. They’ll trick you.”

He suddenly grew worried that she would get fooled by other men.

From spending time with her, Leighton knew she had grown up in a simple, sheltered environment. She barely guarded herself against others and had no clear idea about boundaries between men and women.

“I know. I’ve only ever touched you,” Zora replied obediently.

Somehow, those words made Leighton’s heart lift a little.

She really knew how to cheer him up with simple words.

Zora thought she was just being honest, but Leighton was so easy to please.

Yet Leighton’s fleeting joy froze on his face just seconds later.

“When you pass away someday, can I have your ribs?”

Zora tilted her head up and asked earnestly, her eyes shining with excitement.

His ribs were perfect too.

She wanted to preserve them as a specimen. They would definitely look beautiful.

“Your ribs are so pretty. They’d make such good specimens.”

She really never failed to shock him with her words.

He was perfectly alive and well, and she was already planning to take his ribs after he died.

Looking at her earnest, expectant eyes, Leighton felt helpless. She had now set her sights on his ribs.

First it was his eyes, and now his ribs.

It seemed there were plenty of things about him that caught her fancy.

“Fine. If I die, I’ll leave you a will. You can inherit all my assets and my body,” Leighton said with a faint smile curving his eyes.

Zora blinked up at him. “Once I fix your health up, you’ll live to be seventy or eighty. I probably won’t get your inheritance. You might even outlive me.

“But if something happens to you someday, I could get one of your ribs. Then I’ll have it.”

Leighton was rendered speechless.

The moment was spoiled. She had no sense of romance at all. She turned down his inheritance and only cared about collecting his ribs.

Leighton didn’t even know what to say to her.

As a doctor, money never tempted her. All she cared about was collecting human specimens.

“I’m serious. You’ll probably live longer than me,” Zora repeated when he stayed silent.

She didn’t want his money. She just hoped she could get one of his ribs someday.

“Zora will live a long, long life, longer than me. Bad people live long, but you’re too good. You’ll definitely have a long life.”

Leighton’s brows furrowed slightly.

“No, I won’t.” Zora shook her head.

Her body had suffered too much damage when she was little. She was never meant for a long life.

At most, she would live until her fifties or sixties. It might even be as short as her thirties or forties.

She had already lived nearly half her life.

She had only barely snatched her health back.

Zora knew her physical condition very well. Even though her mentor had told her she would live long, she knew the truth.

She would most likely die earlier than Leighton.

“I’m here for you. You will live a long life. The doctor said your body will be fine with proper

care.

“You still want my ribs, right? So you have to stay alive too. You need to live well until I’m old so you get your chance.”

Leighton ruffled her hair gently, his tone low and sincere.

Chet had checked her pulse and confirmed she would be healthy with good maintenance.

As long as he took good care of her, she would be fine.

The next day, Zora woke up naturally.

She found herself in an unfamiliar room. It took her a moment to remember she had stayed over at Chet’s house last night.

“Zora, are you awake?”

Hallie knocked on her door.

“Yeah, I’m awake. Come in,” Zora replied.

Hallie pushed the door open and walked inside.

“Zora, we have a banquet to attend this noon. My mom already booked makeup artists for us. We have to get up and get ready.”
