Chapter 8

• Alex instinctively reached out his hand, picked up a piece of mango from the little yellow man's smiling face and sent it to his mouth. He chewed slowly to feel the taste. The mango with a little honey was more tasteful and refreshing.
• When Alex reached out his hand again, Lita hid the fruit plate behind her. "You can only eat one piece. The rest is for your brother."
• Warmth surged up in Alex heart, and after a short while, he said in a low voice, "My brother can only eat fluid food."
• "Oh, I'm sorry. I was being negligent. I... I'm going to blend it now."
• "It's okay! Give it to me. Maybe you are right. My brother might have a better mood seeing this."
• Alex took the fruit plate from Lita hand. When his shapely fingers the back of her hand accidentally, Lita blushed for no reason, but she soon resumed her calmness.
• However, Alex wouldn't let Lita enter the treatment room to help Ethan have dinner. Although Lita felt that she was Ethan's wife and had the obligation to take care of him, she did not insist on doing that. She could see that Alex loved his brother very much. She thought, 'When Alex is at home, it's better to let him take care of Ethan. When he is not at home, will get the chance to take care of Ethan."
• After all, the relationship between the two brothers was far beyond what a new and unfamiliar wife could compare with. What's more, there was a Miss Kipping between her and Ethan. Judging from Alice tone, Ethan must be deeply in love with that woman! Inside the treatment room.
• Ethan saw the little yellow-faced man's smiling face. A smile did appear on his face, but under the layers of scars, it was really difficult to detect. However, Alex could still see it.
• Perhaps this was the only smile of his brother in three months..
• "What a clever girl! Well done! What a bless for you!" Ethan was rarely so exhilarated.
• "Ethan, I followed your instruction and got married obediently. Is it time for you to have the skin grafting surgery?" This was the topic that Alex had been repeating for more than half a month.
• "No hurry. I need to a few more days to get fully recovered. Let's wait a little longer!"
• Whenever he prevaricated, Ethan would turned his eyes to stare at a photo. The woman in the photo was called Yancy, who was a kind and beautiful girl. "Yancy, after I settle the business of Alex and Lita, I will go to heaven to find you. You must wait for me!"
• Late at night.
• When Alex returned to the wedding room, Lita had fallen asleep with a book in her arms, a medical book on treatment of burns.
• Her long eyelashes hung down, like the wings of a butterfly spreading its wings. Her breath was light and shallow, as if she was being careful not to disturb others. Her black hair was scattered on the white pillow, which made her look more charming. Her delicate facial features were beautiful enough to attract anybody's attention.
• The woman was sleeping quietly like a beautiful fairy lady, pure and almost holy.
• Alex stood by the bed and looked at her quietly for a while. Then he lay down beside her. Maybe he was really tired, or maybe the woman's pure beauty made him reluctant to disturb her. After a while, he fell asleep with her.
• As a result, the room was all quiet except for the heartbeat of two hearts.
• When Lita woke up the next day, it was already dawn.
• Gosh, why did she sleep so deeply? She planned to wait for Ethan to come back to the room after treatment, but she didn't expect that she fell asleep first.
• When she got up, Lita heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. It should be Ethan taking a bath, she thought.
• Vaguely, Lita seemed to smell the light masculine hormones left by a man on the bed.
• Thinking that Ethan was unable to move after the fire accident, she was worried about him being alone in the bathroom. She then quickly walked toward the bathroom.
• "Ethan, are you in the bathroom?" At the door, Lita stopped and asked softly, "Do you need my help?"
• The woman's caring voice sounded very warm, but the word "Ethan" made Alex frown slightly.
• He couldn't help wondering how charming the woman would sound when she called him Alex.
• "Ethan, do you need my help?" Lita asked again. Haven't heard Ethan's response after a long while, she became seriously worried that Ethan, who was physically disabled, could not take care of himself alone. "Then I'll come in."
• She was his wife. It was the wife's responsibility to take care of her husband who couldn't take care of himself. Physically, Lita couldn't force herself to have intimacy with Ethan, who was disfigured. However, taking good care of his eating and living was the least she could do.
• What was more, Lita felt deeply guilty for Ethan. 'Since I have decided to marry him, I shouldn't have run out of the bedroom on the wedding night and left him alone. He must have felt very sad in his heart.
• As for Alex in the bathroom, he chose to keep silent. His intention was obvious.
• He wanted to see how panic the woman would look like at seeing him naked, would she be able to conceal her desire?
• As a result, the man's lips slightly curved up with evil intention. He was handsome and eye-catching, but also dangerous and malicious.
• When the door of the bathroom was pushed open, Lita saw a figure that men would be proud to have and women would be turned on to look at. The beauty of men's muscles was honestly displayed in front of her eyes. There was no hiding or holding back. Everything was there openly for her view.
• Water trickled down along his dark hair, which was shining and unruly, formed a stream of provocative water on his smooth skin, flowed down from his neck to his chest, and kept going down along his body, to the marvelous destination.
• For a moment, Lita was dumbfounded. To be fair, she really didn't mean to lay her eyes on the private part of Alex.
• This was the bedroom of her and Ethan! She really didn't know why the person who was taking a shower in the bathroom was Alex!
• Perhaps she had to blame the mischievous trickles that directed her eyes to that direction... she just passively followed the flowing water and then... finally, she saw the most important part of the man's body.
• "Alex...you...you... why are you here?" Lita was so shocked that she couldn't speak coherently.
• "What are you talking about? If you've seen enough, get out of here now." Alex said calmly.
• He pulled a bath towel and wrapped it around his waist casually. Then he began to wipe the water on his black hair with the towel. It seemed that being seen naked by this woman didn't affect his mood at all.
• However, Lita heart was beating wildly, as if there was a deer jumping up and down within her chest. Suddenly, some strange emotions were bubbling inside her, which made her face turn scarlet.
• "I'm sorry." Lita felt so ashamed that her face was burning. Without a second look, she ran out of the bathroom in a hurry as if there was a beast chasing after her. She ran downstairs all the way.
• Well, she had to admit that the man's physique was really strong and beautiful. She had taken an optional course of life drawing when she was a junior in college. However, this was the first time for her to see a naked man's body so close and unconcealed.
• Her heart kept beating fast and hard, and she was short of breath.
• How could she be so reckless as to see her brother-in-law naked? Moreover, it was she who pushed the door open and entered the room. She was so ashamed that she had no face to see anyone!
