Chapter 6


    Melodramatic?


    Victoria paused and chuckled to herself after a moment. “Of course, I can’t


    match udia’s thoughtfulness for others.”


    The words slipped out before she could even think twice.


    ric was stunned, and so was she.


    What am I even saying?


    While she regretted saying the wrong thing, he lifted her chin and looked


    into her eyes with his deep ck ones. Then, he narrowed his eyes, and his


    gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s.


    “Are you jealous of her?”


    Her eyebrows twitched. She felt a bit anxious and wanted to brush his


    hand away.


    “What nonsense are you talking about?” Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    However, she had no strength in her hands, and when she tried to push,


    her movement felt weak.


    This action made him raise his eyebrows and hold her wrist in


    amusement. “Are you so weak?”


    “You’re weak!” Victoria retorted, then pulled her hand back. Since she used


    too much force, her body fell backward onto the couch, and she couldn’t


    get up. She was really too weak. ric stood there, looking at her with a


    with water, and returned with a towel. Afterward, he put them on the chair


    next to her.


    He soaked the new towel in cold water, wrung it out, and wiped her with it.


    Chapter 6 Wiping Your Body Inside


    “What are you doing?”


    Seeing him approach her with the towel, she Instinctively moved away,


    He grabbed her shoulder, and his handsome brows furrowed. “Don’t move;


    I’m cooling you down.”


    She wanted to say no, but when the towel touched her skin, a cold feeling


    rushed over her, and she couldn’t refuse.


    Her body temperature was high, and it was better to cool down.


    After all, it was only physical cooling…


    Thinking this, Victoria let him do as he pleased.


    ric wiped away the sweat from her forehead, then wiped her cheeks.


    As he wiped her, he thought of something, and his lips curled up as he


    said softly, “Victoria, you’re really something.”


    His words made her eyelids twitch.


    “What?”


    At that moment, his eyes were as deep as ck diamonds. Then, he


    snorted and said, “What are you pretending to be stupid for? This is my


    first time doing this for others, so you really are something.”


    With that, ric moved his hand on her shoulder to her cor and pulled it


    open, revealing snow–white skin. He then inserted the wet towel inside.


    At that, Victoria’s face changed slightly, and she grabbed his hand. “What


    are you doing?”


    “I’m wiping your body inside,” he answered righteously.


    However, she was anxious and embarrassed as she pulled her cor back.


    “No, I can do it myself.”


    However, he looked at her movements and gradually frowned.


    “Why are you upset with me?”


    His hand didn’t move, and he still held the wet towel over her chest. From


    a certain angle, it looked like his hand was on…


    If someone else saw this…


    “I’m not upset with you. I can do it myself.”


    He still frowned, looking displeased as he stared at her.


    “Are you-” he began.


    Bam!


    Before he could finish his sentence, a loud noise sounded from outside the


    door. ric and Victoria looked toward the door to see udia frantically

    Chapter 6 Wiping Your Body Inside


    picking up some things from the ground.


    His hand froze mid–air and withdrew it after a moment, looking


    expressionless. Victoria simplyy there, smirking a little.


    Meanwhile, udia quickly gathered her things and walked inside, smiling


    gently at ric and Victoria as if nothing had happened.


    “I dropped something earlier because I wasn’t holding it properly. I didn’t


    scare you guys, did I?” she said.


    He pursed his lips and was about to say something, but udia


    approached him and stretched out her hand. “Let me do it.”


    Chapter 6 Wiping Your Body Inside


    Then, he said nothing and handed her the damp towel.


    “Dominic already exined everything to me, so you can leave Victoria to


    1. me. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her,” she said.


    Hearing this, ric looked at Victoria, lying motionless on the bed like a


    corpse, before nodding. “Okay.”


    Soon, he left the room, closing the door behind him.


    The room was quiet momentarily before udia rinsed the towel again


    and walked toward Victoria with it.


    “Victoria, let me help you wipe your body,” udia said gently.


    Victoria was indeed too weak to do it herself. “Shouldn’t we call a nurse?


    This is too much trouble for you,” she suggested.


    udia smiled softly. “It’s no trouble. A nurse won’t do it as well as I.


    Moreover, I can do it as long as you don’t mind if I see you naked.”


    With things at this point, what else could Victoria say? She could only nod


    with a smile.


    After she agreed, udia leaned over and unbuttoned Victoria’s clothes.


    To avoid any awkwardness, Victoria closed her eyes, unaware of udia’s


    scrutinizing gaze, as udia unbuttoned Victoria’s clothes.


    udia bit her lip, and her face turned ugly.


    If she hadn’t been mistaken, ric had held a damp towel earlier,


    intending to help Victoria wipe her body. Ho had oven opened her cor


    1. up. Since when did their rtionship bo so intimate? Did something


    happen between them whon sho was abroad that she didn’t know about?


    udia’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she folt a bit uneasy.


    As for Victoria’s body, udia had to unbutton her clothes to realize that


    her figure was impressive. Even though Victoria was lying down, certain


    parts of her were very blessed, and her skin was not pale but a rtively


    soft pink color, making her look very alluring. Even though udia was a


    woman, she could see the perfection of Victoria’s body. She bit her lower


    lip, unable to restrain herself as she whispered, “Thank you for everything


    you’ve done for me these years.”


    Victoria’s eyes were closed, and she found the physical cooling effect


    quitepelling; the feeling of the liquid being wiped on her body was


    refreshing. The heat on her body dissipated a lot. When she opened her


    eyes, she met udia’s beautiful gaze.


    “Thank me?” Victoria asked.


    udia nodded and said, “Yes. Although it may seem like Al married you


    in a set–up marriage to help you through difficult times, I know that his


    married status has shielded him from unwanted attention in the past two


    years. So, I want to say thank you. Otherwise, when I’m back, dealing with


    all those cheap suitors around him would be a real hassle.”


    At these words, Victoria was taken aback. She wasn’t dumb and could tell


    what udia was trying to say. udia started by expressing gratitude


    but then went on to remind her that her marriage with ric was a sham.


    udia cautioned her to keep her expectations low, pointing out that she


    was not ric’s wife.


    Victoria pursed her lips and said nothing. udia wiped her off for a while


    and helped her put her clothes back on. She then asked tenderly, “Feeling


    better? Would you like some water? I’ll pour you a ss.”


    Victoria was indeed a bit thirsty. “Yes, please.”


    Chapter 6 Wiping Your Body Inside


    udia went to pour her some water, and Victoria drank it all. Her throat


    finally felt better. She looked up at udia and said what was on her


    mind, “Actually, you don’t have to worry about ric and me. He will


    always keep your position as his wife because you saved his life. No one


    can rece that. You also did me a favor, and I won’t forget it.”
