Arya's heart beat slightly, and she covered her lips with her hands in shock. She also knew well that she and Xavier couldn't be together. They would only torture each other if this relationship went on.
She smiled, but what she said hit Xavier in the heart, "I'm willing to marry you. Are you willing to be a stepfather?"
For a moment, Xavier's expression changed slightly. 'Did she deliberately irritate me?'
He cared about it, but he didn't want to show it in front of Arya. He said, neither playfully nor seriously, "Let's have one child, and then I'm a biological father."
Arya's hand, which was under the quilt, was tightly clenched. But she pretended to look calm, "This joke is not funny at all."
Xavier reached out to wipe the food off the corner of her mouth. Arya turned her head uncomfortably. Xavier did not allow her to hide. He pinched her chin to let her look at him and stared at her for two seconds, "I'm serious."
Arya moved her lips, but she couldn't say anything. She felt her nose sour. She didn't know why she wanted to cry, and her heart was in a mess. She knew they couldn't get together, but now she dithered. Xavier grabbed the back of her head and gently kissed her eyes, nose, and then lips… Suddenly, the door of the ward was knocked on…
Xavier was unwilling to give up. Just as he was about to continue, there was another knock on the door, followed by a voice. "Is there anyone inside? I'm here to deliver the medicine."
Xavier frowned.
Arya was afraid that she would be embarrassed to be seen, so she gently pushed him, "Someone's here."
Xavier didn't care. He held the back of her head and kissed her. Her lips were a little dry. Arya's face was burning hot. She pushed him and was a little angry. "How embarrassing it is to be seen by others."
This time, no matter how reluctant Xavier was, he had to move away, afraid that he would really provoke her. He said indifferently, "Come in."
The nurse came in with the medicine. When she saw that there was only a man and a woman in the room, she couldn't help but wonder what they had done.
The nurse placed the tray on the table and asked Arya to lie down, "It's time for you to apply the medicine."
Xavier was still here, so Arya didn't dare. She was about to ask the nurse to put the medicine down and do it later when Xavier said in a faint tone, "Put it here."
Although the nurse was a woman, Xavier didn't want her to see Arya's body.
The nurse nodded and told them the order in which the medicine should be applied before leaving the ward.
As the door was closed, Xavier asked Arya to lie down. "I'll apply the medicine to your back."
As he spoke, Xavier had picked up the medicine on the table.
Arya did not move. Because of the injury on her back, she didn't wear underwear inside. She only wore a medical suit.
"I'll ask Nanny Joy to help me later." Arya didn't even dare to look at Xavier's face when she spoke.
Xavier's eyes were fixed on her chest. When he kissed her just now, they were so close that he had already felt it. Her shyness made Xavier's heart beat slightly. It turned out that she was so shy, and he smiled, "Is there any place of you I haven't seen?"
After that, regardless of whether she wanted to or not, he lifted it. Arya turned her back to Xavier and buried her face in the quilt.
Xavier knew that she was badly injured, but when he saw the wounds, his hand holding the medicine trembled and he did not dare to touch it. Her thin and fair back was covered with a large number of terrible wounds.
Xavier was distressed and his heart ached faintly.
How brave she was then!
After a long time, Arya asked uneasily, "Is it ugly?"
Only then was Xavier pulled back to his senses and said in a low voice, "No."
Xavier bent over and carefully cleaned up the sticky water from her wound with a cotton swab that had been soaked in the medicinal liquid. It was so painful when the cotton swab touched her wounds that her body trembled involuntarily. Xavier obviously felt it. He stopped and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Xavier did not realize how gentle his tone was at the moment as if he would hurt her if he spoke louder.
