Luca couldn't take it any more and mumbled something beside Sam's ear.
When she heard it, Sam instantly froze. Her face was flushed all the way to her ears as she hastily hid herself behind the counter.
As soon as the nurse stepped into the bedroom, Emmeline pulled the blanket over her head again.
This is too embarrassing! I can't see anyone like this!
Abel came out wearing an apron. With a gentle tone, he instructed, "Make sure you don't go too hard on the medicine. I don't want my wife to be in pain."
With flushed cheeks, the nurse nodded and replied softly, "Absolutely, Mr. Abel. Rest assured that I will be very careful."
"I'll leave you to it then," Abel said as he closed the door, making his way back to the kitchen and his soup.
Seeing how nervous Emmeline was, the nurse reassured her, "Mr. Abel is very kind. You're a lucky woman, Ms. Louise."
"Yeah," Emmeline mumbled from under the blanket.
"Where do you even find a man like that? He's even being so meticulous with your aftercare."
"Yeah," Emmeline made another short response. She was blushing even harder under the blanket.
"I'll apply the medicine for you now, Ms. Louise. Don't worry and just try to relax."
"Yeah," It seemed like this was the only word left in Emmeline's vocabulary.
The nurse gently lifted the blanket up and applied the medicine on Emmeline.
The cold sensation was very soothing and reduced a lot of the pain.
Pulling the blanket back onto Emmeline, the nurse left some extra medicine to the side and went to the kitchen to report to Abel.
"Mr. Abel, sir, I've helped apply the medicine on Ms. Louise."
"Great. Thanks for the help," Abel said as he scooped up the herbal tonic soup.
The nurse lowered her head and gave her prognosis, "Ms. Louise's body is a bit frail. You should be… gentler next time. That would make it easier for her to recover too."
"..." Abel was also a little taken aback before acknowledging, "Yeah, I got it."
The nurse added, "I've also left some extra medicine. You can call me tomorrow afternoon and I'll come over again to reapply the medicine for Ms. Louise."
"Alright," Abel nodded.
With flushed cheeks, the nurse then took her leave.
With his soup done, Abel scooped some into a small bowl and brought it over to Emmeline.
Just then, Sam rushed upstairs.
She asked, "Ms. Louise, are you okay?"
The redness had just receded from Emmeline's face before returning once more.
Sam also felt a little awkward. She grabbed the bowl from Abel and said, "Move aside. I'll take care of Ms. Louise."
Abel gently touched Emmeline's cheek and said, "Be a good girl and finish the soup. Your dear husband is going downstairs for a smoke."
