Selena pushed Osvaldo down onto the couch and fetched a fresh dressing kit. She was about to kneel down and start undoing his clothes when he grabbed her hand.
Selena blinked in surprise.
Osvaldo held onto her hand and pulled her over to the dining table. "Let's eat first," he said.
Selena hesitated for a moment.
She had never dealt with such a difficult patient before.
Just as she was about to protest, Osvaldo spooned a mouthful of warm chicken soup into her mouth.
Before she could say anything, he had already picked up a delicate little pastry and popped it into her mouth.
...
The butler and the doctor were standing outside the door, watching as Osvaldo fed Selena. They both froze in their tracks.
The doctor forced a professional smile. "I think the young master is doing well. He doesn't need me."
The butler wiped his forehead. "We still need to give him some medicine. I'll take care of it and give it to Madam later."
Once Selena had finished eating, Osvaldo put down his utensils and carried her back to the bedroom.
After the maid brought in a fresh dressing kit and some new medicine, she closed the door and left the two of them alone in the quiet room.
Osvaldo sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyelashes drooping slightly, his fine features unable to conceal his exhaustion.
He rubbed Selena's shoulder. "Sleep with me for a while."
Selena's heart softened a bit and she took his hand. "Wait a minute."
She knelt down and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his exquisite chest.
This wasn't the first time Selena had seen his body, but she still couldn't help blushing and feeling her heart beat faster.
She forced herself to calm down, put on her gloves, opened the dressing kit, and gently unwrapped the bandage to reveal the bloody knife wound that hadn't improved in the past few days.
She bit her lip, watching the wound with a tinge of pain in her eyes.
When she was injured, he took care of her so well, but when he was injured, he didn't even take the time to recover.
Osvaldo lazily propped his head up, smiling at her with elegant lips tinged with a hint of paleness. "I'm not going out tonight. You can sleep with me."
Selena's eyelashes quivered and she finished re-dressing his wound. Then she pushed him down onto the bed and covered him with the blanket.
She sat down beside him. "You sleep, I'll stay with you."
Osvaldo stared at her intently, his eyes revealing a hint of breathtaking darkness.
Selena obediently sat down beside him, and when he didn't say anything, she leaned closer and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is it...?"
Obviously, in Selena's subconscious understanding, sleeping with him meant accompanying him in this way.
Seeing that his face didn't look too good, Selena thought he was uncomfortable somewhere, so she raised her hand to touch his forehead and felt relieved when she noticed that the temperature was normal.
Osvaldo's lips curled up into a smile. "You promised to sleep with me, so you can't leave before I wake up."
Selena hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay."
Osvaldo closed his eyes.
Selena held her chin with both hands and stared at the man's exquisite and perfect face in a daze.
In the quiet space, time slipped away minute by minute.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
