Chapter 724


    Nico’s breathing grew heavy as a wave of panic washed over him. I’ve been a straight man for the past


    thirty years, and I’m about to be a cross-dresser! I’m going to lose my dignity and pride!


    In an attempt to regainposure, he rolled down the window, allowing a gust of fresh air to fill the car.


    Right then, Charles’ cold voice rang out. “What’s the matter with you? Worried about looking ugly and


    embarrassing as a cross-dresser? Are you considering jumping out of the window?”


    Charles’ response caught Nico off guard, leaving him momentarily speechless.


    Nevertheless, determined to express his concerns, Nico uttered, “It’s not about looking ugly. It’s about


    struggling to ept this situation. Must you gloat? After all, you’re facing the same predicament as me,


    aren’t you?”


    Although Charles also felt ill at ease, he looked a lot calmer than Nico. “You’ve trained in the Federal


    Bureau of Investigation since you were little, right? Surely you’ve taken disguise sses before.


    Haven’t you dressed up as a woman during one of the exercises?”


    Nico slumped in deep dejection and replied, “No! I’m a straight man, and dressing up as a woman is


    something I would never do! I’d rather give up on the activity and face the punishment of doing three


    hundred push-ups thanpromise my identity in such a way.”


    “Well, you’ll finally make an exception today. It’s a significant event in your life. You should remember


    it.”


    Nico’s irritation grew as he noticed Charles’ apparent gloating. He’s going through the same thing as


    me! What is he acting all high and mighty for?


    In a fit of anger and frustration, Nico’s words tumbled out. “Did you think everyone is as driven by


    competition as you? Only someone like you would go to such lengths, including cross-dressing, just to


    Charles’ smirk grew wider as he responded to Nico’s anger with a nonchnt tone. “You’re panicking,


    aren’t you?”


    Nico was at a loss for words.


    “Hey! Stop it, okay?” Zendaya, who sat in the middle, took on the role of a peacemaker. “We’ve arrived


    at theboratory! Let’s go!”


    Nico got out of the car reluctantly and walked uneasily behind everyone else. Needless to say,


    resistance was written all over his face.


    Zendaya held Charles’ hand with one hand and Nico’s with the other as she skipped her way toward


    theboratory and into Benedict’s ward.


    At that moment, Benedict was on the bed with an IV drip attached to his hand. The foot of the bed was


    piled up with things.


    Upon taking a closer look, they could see the items Zendaya had mentioned earlier—wigs, clothes, and


    heels.


    “Come here, Uncle Nico! Since you’re the winner, you get to choose first.” Benedict was as enthusiastic


    as a salesperson. “Uncle Nico, would you prefer ck or white as the dominant color of your dress?”


    Nico’s lips twitched, and he remained silent for a prolonged moment, unable to find the right words.


    Finally, he spoke with a mix of resignation and exasperation. “What difference does it make?”


    “I’ll decide for you, then. You’ll wear a white skirt and a ck pinafore. It’ll make you look so angelic.


    Thisbination suits your temperament!” Benedict dered with unwavering decisiveness.


    In Nico’s eyes, the choice of colors held no significance anymore.


    Resigned to his fate and realizing it was futile to resist, he gathered the set of clothes and headed into


    the bathroom in the ward to change.


    While he was changing, the ward fell intoplete silence.


    Zendaya was setting up her phone camera to get ready to take photos of Nico.


    Charles, feeling a sense of awkwardness at the moment, picked up his ck skirt and white pinafore.


    “Should I change in the shared restroom in theboratory? It would save time and effort to clean the


    bathroom in here afterward.”


    “There’s no hurry.” Benedict’s childish voice sounded somewhat deep. “It’s Uncle Nico’s first time


    dressing up as a female. You ought to see it.”


    Charlesplied.


    However, Benedict didn’t let him sit, so he stood at the foot of the bed with his back straightened and


    hands behind his back like he was serving a punishment.


    Twenty minutester, Nico was still in the bathroom.


    Benedict craned his neck and yelled, “Uncle Nico? Are you all right in there? Did you faint when you


    saw how stunning you look in a dress?”


    As soon as those words fell, footsteps were heard from inside the bathroom.


    Nico ced his hand on the door handle, took a few deep breaths to steel himself, and opened the


    door.


    The moment the door opened, Zendaya rushed toward the bathroom.


    There and then, Nico was seen walking out ufortably. I’ve never felt more embarrassed in my life!


    “Wow!” Zendaya widened her eyes and sized Nico up as though she had just seen an exotic animal.


    “Not bad!”


    She then dragged the awkward-looking Nico toward the bed and eximed, “Benny, Uncle Charles,


    look!”


    The size of the skirt was small, so it became a miniskirt once Nico wore it. With his long fringe, he


    looked rather skittish.


    At the same time, he looked sexy because the ck stockings hid his manly and hairy calves.


    Apart from his muscr arms, he actually looked good in women’s clothing.


    Having said that, his facial features were still as handsome as before. As he was blushing, he


    appeared weak and fragile.


    Zendaya hurriedly took photos of him.


    “Uncle Nico, you look great! Oh, wait. You’re Aunt Nico today!” Benedict smiled in satisfaction.


    Once again, Nico was rendered speechless.


    At that moment, he was clenching his toes, feeling utterly embarrassed.


    Charles was standing at the foot of the bed, and he was also sizing Nico up.


    A beatter, Charles praised, “Not bad! You look muscr, though. Also, you need makeup to conceal


    the masculinity of your facial features.”


    Nico wanted nothing more than to dash toward Charles and beat him up.


    His frustration reached its peak as he red at Charles and shouted, “Zip it! I’ve done my best! Enough


    with your sarcastic remarks! Why haven’t you started changing yet? I’m eager to see what you’ll look


    like!”


    Charles quietly picked up the set of clothes at the foot of the bed and went into the bathroom.


    When Charles changed, Zendaya kept herself busy by putting a wig on for Nico. With the wig on, the


    man looked even more impish than before.


    Although it didn’t suit his muscr figure, the wig added an inexplicable sense of wickedness.


    After that, Zendaya forced him to pose for photos.


    Around ten minutester, the door to the bathroom opened, suggesting that Charles was done


    changing.


    Relieved to have Zendaya off his back for the time being, Nico said, “All right. You have enough photos


    of me. Take some photos of your Uncle Charles instead.”


    As Charles emerged from the bathroom, all three individuals in the ward turned their gaze toward him


    simultaneously.


    The sight of Charles in his costume left them momentarily speechless and wide-eyed with


    astonishment.


    Meanwhile, Charles just stood rooted to the ground and kept mum.

    The room was filled with a palpable sense of astonishment, broken only by the sound of their collective


    breaths held in disbelief.


    Charles lowered his head awkwardly and tidied his hair. “Do I look that bad?”


    Little did he know that everyone in the ward was in awe.


    “Gosh! You look fabulous!” Zendaya dashed toward Charles and hugged him. “I love how you look in a


    dress, Uncle Charles! You look like a pretty girl!”


    “How impressive! Women’s wear suits you!” Nico chimed in.


    Benedict, on the other hand, averted his gaze pridefully and said, “I guess it’s all right. I expected


    more.”


    Charles, in his everyday appearance, had never projected a tough or rugged demeanor. On the


    contrary, his facial features were characterized by their exquisite and gentle nature.


    With his long hair cascading around his face, Charles’ exquisite facial features seemed to shine even


    brighter. The feminine touch added an extrayer of allure to his appearance, entuating his natural


    beauty.


    The set of clothes Charles wore fit him impably, hugging his figure with precision. However, due to


    his height, he appeared slightly less feminine than intended.


    If one were to just look at his face, he would surely pass as a beautiful woman.


    As a matter of fact, a little lipstick and blush would make him look even prettier.


    Zendaya was so excited that she forgot to take photos of Charles. She kissed him on the cheek and


    eximed, “Wow! If you were a girl, Uncle Charles, you would be so popr among the guys!”


    Nico then held his hand over his mouth and let out a dry cough. “Take photos of him! Get him to pose


    for photos!” he reminded.
