Chapter 89
Neil’s belt buckle was loose, and Silvia’s heart skipped a beat.
“Help me pull the belt out.”
Sensing that the atmosphere between them was growing increasingly intimate, she frowned tightly.
Realizing that she had frozen, Neil chuckled above her.
“Are you sure you’re not shy? Just admit it if you are. I won’t laugh at you.”
Silvia frowned. When she saw his teasing gaze, she felt embarrassed and angry like he had somehow exposed her.
“I’m not shy!”
As she spoke, she swiftly pulled out his belt and threw it on the floor. Then, she got up and quickly took off his pants. “You don’t have to take off your underwear, do you?”
“If you want it off, I don’t have any objections.”
Silvia scoffed. “I’m afraid that the sight will pollute my eyes.”
Since Neil’s injuries had not fully healed, she could only wipe his b*dy clean instead of giving him a shower.
She gradually calmed down as she wiped his b*dy.
Once she was done, she wrung the towel and threw it into his arms indifferently. “Wipe your bottom half yourself. I’ll wait for you outside. Call out to me when you’re done.”
Neil did not trouble her either. If he pushed her too hard, she might just leave like that.
By the time she finished helping him get ready, she was sweating like a cow.
The sweaty feeling made her feel slightly uncomfortable, so she took her clothes and entered the bathroom for a shower. When she came out, Neil was on a phone call.
Silvia dried her hair partially with a towel and only started to blow-dry it after Neil was done with his call.
It was already past 10 p.m. when she carried two quilts out of the closet. She was planning to make her bed on the floor.
When Neil saw this, he gritted his teeth in annoyance and said, “Silvia, put the quilts back and sleep on the bed!”
She frowned and stared at him. “Mr. Remus, we’re going to be divorced. It’s inappropriate for us to sleep on the same bed.”
“Do you think I’ll be able to do anything to you in my current condition?”
Silvia pursed her l*ps. “I didn’t mean that.”
“What did you mean then? Don’t worry. I’m not interested in you!”
“It’s not about you. I’m used to sleeping alone. I can’t sleep if there’s someone beside me.”
Neil glared at her. “Didn’t you sleep soundly in the resort?”
When Silvia heard this, contempt filled her eyes. “I was forced to. Mr. Remus, I agreed to share a room with you, and that’s as far as I go. If you insist on asking for more, I’ll go to the next room!”
After she spoke her mind, she ignored Neil’s displeasure and placed the quilts on the floor.
Once she made her bed, she turned off the lights and slept.
She had a great night without dreams.
Neil was already awake when she woke up the next morning. He was sitting on the bed with a cold expression. He did not say anything when he saw her. He was clearly still angry at what happened last night.
Silvia did not care. After she got him a change of clothes, she pushed him into the bathroom.
It was almost time for her to leave by the time she finished helping him. After she got ready, she no longer had time to make breakfast for Neil.
“I’ll order breakfast for you later. The cook will come over at noon and make lunch.”
Neil’s expression was cold, and he grunted in response.
She quickly walked to the entrance hall and changed her shoes as she said, “I’m going to work. If anything happens, just call me.”
As soon as she stepped out of the mansion, she met Curtis. There was also a man in a nursing uniform next to him.
When Curtis saw her, he smiled and asked, “Miss Silvia, are you going to work?”
“Yes. Is this the nurse you hired for Mr. Remus?”
Curtis nodded. “He’s the nurse who took care of Mr. Remus in the hospital. You can just call him Leo. He was on leave yesterday because something happened in his family, so I’ve brought him over today. Don’t worry. He’ll come after you go to work and leave before you clock off work. He won’t be a bother.”
Silvia greeted Leo before she looked at Curtis and asked, “Does the nurse usually help Mr. Remus with his bath?”
She did not want to experience that awkward situation again.
“The service is available, but Mr. Remus doesn’t like others helping him with his showers or baths. When he was in the hospital, he washed himself. Leo just helped him to run the water in the bathtub.”
