Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 273

Grace had no choice but to turn around and face him. "Is it your chest or your back?"

"My chest." Ethan lowered his gaze. There were a few beads of sweat on his nose, making him look more vulnerable.

Grace gritted her teeth and put her hand on his chest. His body temperature was abnormally high and even higher in places with red rashes. Her fingertips trembled from the heat.

Ethan's hand suddenly covered the back of Grace's. Her fingertips curled up as she wiped the inappropriate thoughts from her mind.

"Let go of your hand. I'll help you to scratch it."

Ethan's gaze was fixed on her face. Seeing that she wasn't looking back at him and seemed uncomfortable, the corner of his lips curled up for a moment. "Okay."

He moved his hand away, letting Grace's fingertips softly scratch his skin. She asked after a few scratches, "Are you feeling better now?"

His breathing grew heavier, and she could feel his body getting even more heated and harder than before.

Ethan didn't say a word and kept his lips pressed tightly together. Grace thought her actions were helping, so she kept scratching his chest for a long time.

After ten minutes, his eyelashes trembled as he suddenly grabbed her hand. "You can stop now."

Grace let out a sigh of relief and wanted to ask if Ethan was feeling a bit better now. But before she could say another word, her knee accidentally bumped into something hot and hard.

She didn't dare to move an inch as her face burst into a bright shade of red. She quickly turned her back to Ethan.

She kept trying to convince herself that Ethan's reaction was normal as only his legs were crippled and not his whole body.

While lost in her thoughts, she felt a pair of burning hands wrap around her waist. She had a layer of thick bed sheets around her, but even so, she could still feel how high the temperature of that pair of hands was.
