"You an... right now?"
She looked at the man on the bed who could not move, then at the doctor and nurses who had professional fake smiles on their faces. She felt like she had played herself.
"Of course. Do you want to wait until the venom spreads to my heart and brain and kills ?"
Ace’s cold words left Joanna speechless.
"A man and a woman shouldn’t have such intimate contact. I... don’t think this is appropriate."
Joanna was embarrassed and wanted to run away.
She never even got to hold Ace’s hand usually. Now she had to touch every inch of his body?... The re thought of it made it hard for her to breathe.
The doctor was puzzled. "But Mrs. Moran, you’re his wife. This could not be any more appropriate."
"Well, I an, I’m not a nurse. My technique may not be very professional."
"That’s nothing to worry about. When you rub the dicine, try to rub it on every inch of his skin, then make sure you massage him a lot to promote absorption."
After the doctor said that, he ordered a nurse to pass the freshly prepared dicine and gauze to Joanna. He told her, "You better hurry, Mrs. Moran. The dicinal effect will go down a lot if the dicine gets cold."
And with that, they just... left?!
Joanna stood with his back to Ace, her cheeks slightly flushed. She did not know what to do.
Ace’s eyes glead mischievously. He stared at the graceful figure of Joanna’s back like he was staring at a prey. He asked, "Why so shy? Are you feeling embarrassed because you like ?"
"Of course not!"
Joanna turned around. She clenched her fists and said, "I’m going to divorce you. How could I possibly like you?"
Ace raised his eyebrows, the emotion in his eyes unclear. "Really?"
Now who’s the arrogant one? Why did he feel like she was a hundred tis prouder than he was?
"Of course!!!
Joanna blushed and said in a small voice, "I’m not shy, I’m just... just worried about losing control..."
"Losing control?"
Ace did not know whether to laugh or be mad. "Look at . How can I still lose control? You think I can force myself on you with telekinesis?"
"Do I look so thirsty to you?"
Joanna cleared her throat and said honestly, "You’re too naive. I’m worried about losing control, not you...’
"After all, you have a figure like a supermodel. When I apply the dicine, it’s difficult for not to touch you here and there for fun."
Ace: "."
She’s right, he’s too naive!
"You have a point."
"After all, even while my body was being attacked by the venom, you would still kiss intensely to satisfy your own desire. Now that you get the chance to rub dicine on , who knows what kind of beast you’ll beco."
Joanna’s face that was already red was now flushed to the base of her neck.
’This is so embarrassing. So this guy rembers?!’
Joanna took the chance to bail out. "That’s right. You’ve seen how perverted I can be, so you should protect yourself better. You better let a professional nurse rub dicine on you instead."
"No one is more professional than you."
Although Ace could not move, his naturally regal temperant still made him look very charming.
"Rather than be groped by other won, I’d rather let you benefit instead... Stop wasting ti. You’re gonna make think you’re actually attracted to ."
The provocation finally gave Joanna the courage.
"Fine, I’ll do it! I’m not scared of you!"
With a piece of gauze soaked in the dicine in hand, she lifted the blanket covering Ace, took a deep breath, and started unbuttoning his hospital gown one button at a ti.
His bulging muscles appeared before her eyes. There was not a trace of excess fat to be seen. He looked slender with clothes on, but without the clothes, he’s actually pretty muscular.
Although it was not the first ti Joanna had seen Ace’s body, her heart still could not help but flutter. She gulped and said, "Here goes."
After saying that, her small hands reached out towards his body uncontrollably, pouncing on them like kitten paws.
It was as if she was saying "Itadakimasu".
It... actually felt really good!
When she rubbed the upper part of his body, it was still okay, but when she had to rub his lower body, it was way too embarrassing.
In order to avoid the embarrassnt, Joanna turned her head to the side and could only do it by feel.
Ace suddenly said in a cold voice, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!"
Joanna quickly withdrew her hands.
"It was an accident!"
Joanna said with her hands raised.
Ace was still very calm. He said, "It doesn’t matter. It’s not like I can do anything about it."
"What the hell..."
That was so embarrassing. She had never felt more embarrassed in her life.
The only thing Joanna wanted to do now was to dig a hole, bury herself in it, and never co out again!
She did not notice the slight curl on the corners of Ace’s thin lips.
Over the next few days, Joanna slowly got used to it.
Having gone through the embarrassing experience on the first day, she could now rub Ace’s body with practiced familiarity.
Her thought process was, Ace did not have any physical sensation anyway, so it’s not like he could feel her touching him. In that case, why should she be so polite?
So, she now touched and rubbed his body as much as she pleased.
Facing a beautiful creature with perfect muscles like that every day, no straight woman could remain a nun.
of course, there was no such thing as a free lunch. While she got to indulge herself in playing with the wonderful body of Ace Moran, Ace had been ordering her around too.
For example, he would keep asking her to bring him stuff. He also needed to have coffee every day, and the coffee powder must be freshly ground!
The fruits he ate must be cut into equal-sized portions. It could not be too big or too small.
That’s not all. She also had to be his newspaper reader, reading dostic and foreign financial news to him at a specific ti every day. The speed and intonation of her speech must be at the level of a newscaster. She could not read too fast or too slow and she could not mispronounce
the words either!
"Dammit, I can’t stand it anymore!"
Halfway through grinding the coffee beans for the day, Joanna had finally had enough. She planned to end it.
This job of serving the Great Demon King, even though it ca with a great reward, was simply not worth it.
Joanna had been thinking about it. It had already been a week. He should have recovered a bit by now.
So she lifted the blanket, pinched Ace’s thigh, and asked, "How do you feel? Can you feel anything?"
"What do you think?"
Ace said without any emotion, "You’re the one who told I’m paralyzed for life. How can I possibly feel anything?"
"Ugh!"
Joanna rubbed her forehead with a worried expression.
Did she curse him so much that he was actually going to be paralyzed for life now? If not, why would he still feel nothing?
"Why, are you going back on your word?"
Ace lowered his eyes and said with a sad face, "I knew you would do that sooner or later. It’s okay, you can leave if you want. I don’t bla you. After all, saving you was my own choice."
His words moved Joanna’s heart a little bit.
In truth, the past week they spent together did more to bring them closer to each other than the four long years before that. So undesirable emotions seed to be reviving.
She bit her lip, summoned her courage, and asked, "So.... Do you regret saving ?"
