Chapter 80
Yasmin had seen simr scenes in short videos before. She hadughed at them, thinking that they
were hrious. The idea that one day such an incident would happen to her never crossed her
mind.
Being directly involved, she didn’t see any humor in the situation and felt genuinely wretched about
being in that position.
“Didn’t
“Didn’t you say you’re sorry?” asked ke with a straight face. “If you’re truly sorry, then
show it with some substantial care, not just empty words.”
Under his stern gaze, Yasmin felt a bit embarrassed.
“I really do want to apologize sincerely,” she said.
“Then help me apply the ointment.”
Yasmin was speechless for a while. Then, as if she had figured something out, she carefully asked,
“Do you seriously want me to help you apply the ointment?”
ke snorted and turned his head away.
“Okay.”
– her courage,:
extended her hand toward the waistband of his pants. He was
donned in today’s suit pants, but a section of the pant leg had been removed to
amodate the cast.
“What are you doing?” he asked, looking over.
She gripped the zipper with her fingers, her face flushing as she uttered, “I’m applying the ointment
for you. Endure it for a bit, and let me know if it hurts.”
With that, she lowered his pants, and ke’s breathing became a bit more pronounced. Yasmin,
though terribly embarrassed, maintained a fa?ade ofposure. She felt a responsibility for her
actions.
The pants were now snagged due to the cast. So, she suggested, “Considering your leg injury,
should I use scissors to cut your pants open?”
He was merely teasing her and didn’t really want her to apply the ointment. Yet, every time he
nced down and caught sight of her flushed face, a sense of diminished anger overcame him.
“Go ahead and cut it,” he said.
“Okay.”
Yasmin retrieved a pair of scissors and motioned toward his pant leg, eliciting a frown from
ke.
Sheughed. “What’s wrong? Afraid I’ll cut you?”
“Be careful with that.”
“Sure.” She positioned the scissors and began cutting along the pant leg, not forgetting to say,
“Rx. I won’t cut you.”
The cold scissors glided over his skin as he had his eyes closed.
After cutting away the entire pant leg, his long leg was revealed. A brief nce caused Yasmin to
blush anew, impressed by ke’s well–maintained physique resulting from regr workouts.
“What’s wrong? Too embarrassed to look?” he chuckled.
“I’ll get a robe for you to put on first,” she said with a flushed face.

She was too afraid to look, so she walked to the end of the bed and picked up the robe.
Suddenly, the awkwardness hit her. She now had to help him put on the robe, which was at bit
troublesome. After some thought, she sat next to him, lifted him, and draped the robe over him.
“Raise your arms,” she said, holding him while helping him dress.
The aroma of cedar lingered at the tip of her nose. As she looked up, she met his handsome face.
With a shy demeanor, she quietly assisted him in putting on the robe.
Her neck was exposed to ke’s prating gaze. As he squinted, a deepening intensity shaded
his eyes.
“You’re always so slow when changing clothes,” he said, his warm breath brushing against her
neck.
Yasmin stiffened and retorted, “I’m just afraid of hurting your leg.”
“Or perhaps you fear that I might awaken feelings in your heart?”
She frowned and said, “If you keep talking, I won’t help you apply the ointment. I’ll get Mary to do
it.”
“You heartless woman,” he retorted.
Yasmin found herself momentarily lost in a daze. The current exchange brought back memories of
the past. There were moments when, in the right mood, ke would
affectionately address her as “baby” in bed.
As she thought of those memories, her face flushed even more. Swiftly, she shook her head,
determined not to let her thoughts stray.
“The robe is on. Lie down, and I’ll apply the ointment for you.”
She proceeded to assist him in settling onto the
