As soon as he let go, her hands started moving restlessly again.
Jay sat up regardless of the pain. "Angeline Severe!" H e roared fiercely.
Angeline was dumbstruck by his aura.
"I have mysophobia. I don't like it when others touch me." Jay's tone softened.
Angeline gathered her courage and touched the wound on his shoulder blade, breathing a sigh of relief after making sure that it was only a superficial wound.
She then filled up a pot of warm water and ordered him to take off his clothes. "Take off your clothes, I'll wipe your back for you."
Jay refused to budge as a touch of helplessness spread in his falcon-like eyes. "Angeline Severe, do you not have the concept of having a prudent reserve between a man and a woman?"
Angeline said, "The doctors sure don’t have the concept of prudent reserve between the sexes when they're rescuing their patients."
"But you're not a doctor." Jay growled angrily.
"I once worked as a nurse at Grand Asia Hospital.
What you have is a superficial wound and I can treat i t," Angeline said with righteous indignation.
Jay teased, saying, "You're Grand Asia’s president and you've worked as a nurse before? This sounds just as ridiculous as the story you told about you living in a slum before you rose to power!" He did not believe her at all.
"After getting disfigured from falling off a building, m y face looked just like a ghost and that terrified people. Therefore, I put on a mask and hid in Grand Asia as a nurse," Angeline said in a breezy manner.
Fell off a building?
Jay knew that she had undergone plastic surgery but did not know that it was because of such a painful reason.
He thought she was just trying to look attractive.
For some reason, his heart ached for her after knowing what she had been through.
Angeline insisted on taking his shirt off. The more he tried to stop her, the closer she would get to him.
