You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243 Are You Not Worried

“Why didn’t you say anything earlier?” he asked in a deep voice as he frowned.

“I did!” she exclaimed and glared at him.

“Who would’ve heard it when your voice is so soft?” he snorted.

She was speechless.

You’re the one who hurt me, yet you’re defending yourself?

“Lie down properly. I’m not done yet,” she said as she tapped his thighs. The moment she did that, his gaze turned dark.

She squeezed some ointments on her fingertips and started applying his back.

He felt the coolness of the ointment as soon as she applied it. Other than the cooling sensation of the ointment, he felt a little numbing sensation.

Something flickered in his eyes as his breathing became labored.

Arissa felt that the atmosphere was getting a little steamy, so she sped up.

She didn’t think much about it when Benjamin was still unconscious, but when he looked at her as she applied the ointment on his body, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Her face blushed.

“Are you helping me to scratch the areas that itch?” he asked while staring at her with narrowed eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she grinned. “Just a little bit more,” she said and quickly applied the patches on his thighs before she put the ointment away. Right after she had done that, she reached for the blanket and covered him up with it.

Ah… That’s better. I can look at him more normally now.

“Do you want to drink some water?” she asked to break the silence.

Why is he staring at me like that? What is he looking at?

“Mm.”

Arissa quickly adjusted the head of the hospital bed and placed a pillow on his back. Once she was done with that, she turned to pour a glass of water for him.

Benjamin was a little dumbfounded by her obedience. Is she behaving like this out of guilt for what happened to me?

When she put the glass to his mouth, he took a few quick gulps.

“Slow down!” she exclaimed. She was afraid that he would choke.

“Shall I get a straw for you?” she asked.

Benjamin lifted his head and glared at her again. Her heart skipped a beat in response.

“Are you treating me like a child?”
