I finally understand why Sean broke down.
He couldn’t even do such a small thing. He must be depressed.
I said nothing and just stood by. I picked up the shower and wanted to open it. He looked up and asked me, “are you going to help me bathe in this dress?”
“...”
He said, “there are no extra clothes here. If your clothes get wet, you have to leave naked. Anyway, those bodyguards outside have seen you naked.”
His words were like thorns. I blushed and was embarrassed.
But I was a little confused, “so what should I wear?”
“I am naked. Why are you still wearing it?”
He had a cold expression. Although he said that, I didn’t feel that he had any other ideas at all.
Or he couldn’t.
I hesitated for a moment and wanted to go out and change. He grabbed me directly from behind and impatiently said, “where are you going?”
“I want to change my clothes...”
I blinked at him.
He didn’t seem happy, “just change here. I’ve seen you naked. You don’t need to hide!”
After the accident, apart from the day I wore my wedding dress, Sean was very grumpy.
I bit my lips and didn’t say no. I stood in the bathroom and took off my clothes.
I picked up the shower again and adjusted the water temperature. I sprinkled water on his back and asked him, “how is the water temperature?”
“It’s OK.”
He said lightly.
Soon the hot white air rose in the bathroom.
I washed Sean’s hair first, then I washed his body.
He was as motionless as a child.
It seemed that Sean was not sitting in front of me, but Lester.
Gradually I was relieved.
He must have not bathed for many days. He used to take a bath every day. If he didn’t take a bath for more than a week, he must be very uncomfortable, so I washed him very carefully.
After that, I cleaned him and dressed him. Then I dressed myself.
I pushed the wheelchair over.
Sean used his hands to hold the armrest of the wheelchair and intended to sit in it.
But unlike before he took a bath, the bathroom was full of water. When he was about to sit down, his stool fell down.
His leg lost its fulcrum and he fell!
I panicked and rushed to help him, but I failed.
We both fell to the bathroom floor.
My hand was on his back so I was crushed by him.
It hurt!
I bit my teeth and didn’t shout. I asked Sean, “are you ok?”
He sat up and lowered his head and didn’t speak.
I thought he was OK so I picked up the stool.
But all of a sudden he started hitting his leg with his fist!
“Stop!”
Seeing him like this, I really felt hurt and reached out to stop him.
