Chapter 2104


    Ethan had never felt anything like it before this tingling, electrifying sensation that coursed through his entire being. He''d been with many women, but none had made his blood ignite with just a simple touch the way Lydia did. He couldn''t help but steal nces at her.


    Tall and lean, her physique was the result of consistent workouts, with muscles toned and far from fragile. Her face had the ssic beauty reminiscent of runway models if she ever chose to m up, which she seldom did. Preferring a natural look, her skin bore a healthy tan from the sun''s embrace. Up close, Ethan admired her smooth, supple skin. identally brushing his cheek against hers felt like silk, igniting a fire within him. Her nose was petite and perky, and though her eyes were notrge, they were beautifully framed by dense, curledshes. She was the kind of beauty that grew on you.


    But Lydia didn''t y up her looks; she was a tomboy through and through, both in spirit and strength, outmatching anyone who dared challenge her. Yet, this unassuming woman stirred something different in Ethan.


    "Do I have something on my face?" Lydia suddenly asked, disrupting his thoughts.


    Caught off guard, Ethan quickly looked away, replying, "No, nothing."


    "And why were you staring?" Lydia''s acuity wasn''t something Ethan could easily contend with.


    Busted, Ethan didn''t show any embarrassment. Instead, he joked with augh, "Because you''re beautiful."


    Lydia''s mood darkened, her heart skipping a beat as she sternly said, "Keep it up, and I''ll leave you on the roadside to fend for yourself!"


    Hearing the serious tone in her voice, Ethan dared not push further, quickly conceding, "Alright, alright, I''ll zip it. Don''t be mad."


    Despite her threats, Lydia ended up carrying Ethan back to the clinic. It was after hours, and Dr. Funke had already left, leaving them the only ones there. She had him lie down on the examination bed, taking his pulse with a focused expression, making her seem even more

    Seeing her upset, Ethan quickly sat up, trying to exin, "I was really in pain, probably from a bruise, not an organ issue. Look, I''m really hurt!"


    As he spoke, he lifted his shirt to

It seemed his pain was indeed from the bruise, not an internal issue. He hadn''t meant to deceive her; he simply hadn''t distinguished between the types of injuries.
