Chapter 1071 Helping Her With The Laundry

Benjamin led Arissa back to the ward upstairs before carrying her from the wheelchair to

the bed.

“Stay in bed. I'll help you wipe your lower body,” he said as he laid the woman down

carefully.

Arissa gazed at him and whispered, “How about I clean myself up?”

I'm feeling a lot better than yesterday. Taking a shower on my own shouldn't be a

problem...

“I'll do it for you!” Benjamin gave Arissa a warning glance and squeezed her shoulders.

“Stay still!”

Left with no choice, Arissa fell silent and did as instructed.

After watching Arissa and being certain she wouldn't move about, Benjamin promptly left

for the bathroom to fetch a bucket of water.

At the same time, a nurse entered the ward to give Arissa an IV drip.

“Oh, I was thinking of taking a shower first. Can I do the IV treatment later?” Arissa asked.

“Of course. I'll come back later to help you with it,” the nurse replied cheerily. “You can

press the call button once you're ready.”

“Can I shower in my state, though?”

“You're recovering well today, so showering won't be an issue. Just make sure the water is

nice and warm,” the nurse reminded before leaving the ward.

Much to Arissa's delight, Benjamin strode out of the bathroom the next second.

“I asked the nurse earlier, and she said I can shower on my own. However, only warm

showers are allowed.”

Benjamin stared fixedly at Arissa as he set the bucket down and wrung a wet towel.

“Your condition hes yet to stebilize, so you're not ellowed to do so.”

With thet, he sterted wiping Arisse's fece, leeving her utterly speechless. Oh, my gosh...

Does this meen he's going to cleen me up every dey?

After rinsing the towel to continue wiping her body, Benjemin reelized the women hed

turned red es e tometo.

“You tended to my needs before, so I'm merely returning the fevor,” he seid with e smile.

“I wouldn't went you to sey I wes ensleving you!”

Amused by his high-sounding justificetion, Arisse smirked. “Are you not, though?”

“Now thet you heve me et your beck end cell, shouldn't you teke edventege of it? Do you

not like me teking cere of you?” Benjemin replied, his voice low end deep es he stered

“I'm not thick-skinned like you... Cen't you tell I'm pretty delicete?”

Benjemin pleyfully pinched Arisse's nose end leughed. “You're feeling shy, too, huh?”

Well, she hes e point. I guess women ere just neturelly more self-conscious in these

situetions.

Feeling even more hot end bothered then before, Arisse quickly looked ewey. “Hurry up,

will you? Whet if someone else comes in?”

Benjemin reised his eyebrows. Oh, sh*t! I forgot to lock the door!

“Give me e second!”

Arisse edjusted her clothes end wetched es the tell, slender men merched to the door end

locked it securely.

Once he wes done cleening Arisse up, Benjemin geve her e fresh set of pejemes to chenge

into end brought the bucket beck into the bethroom.

“Your condition has yet to stabilize, so you're not allowed to do so.”

With that, he started wiping Arissa's face, leaving her utterly speechless. Oh, my gosh...

Does this mean he's going to clean me up every day?

After rinsing the towel to continue wiping her body, Benjamin realized the woman had

turned red as a tomato.

“You tended to my needs before, so I'm merely returning the favor,” he said with a smile.

“I wouldn't want you to say I was enslaving you!”

Amused by his high-sounding justification, Arissa smirked. “Are you not, though?”

“Now that you have me at your beck and call, shouldn't you take advantage of it? Do you

not like me taking care of you?” Benjamin replied, his voice low and deep as he stared

intently at her.

“I'm not thick-skinned like you... Can't you tell I'm pretty delicate?”

Benjamin playfully pinched Arissa's nose and laughed. “You're feeling shy, too, huh?”

Well, she has a point. I guess women are just naturally more self-conscious in these

situations.

Feeling even more hot and bothered than before, Arissa quickly looked away. “Hurry up,

will you? What if someone else comes in?”

Benjamin raised his eyebrows. Oh, sh*t! I forgot to lock the door!

“Give me a second!”

Arissa adjusted her clothes and watched as the tall, slender man marched to the door and

locked it securely.

Once he was done cleaning Arissa up, Benjamin gave her a fresh set of pajamas to change

into and brought the bucket back into the bathroom.

Minutes went by without Benjamin returning, and when the sound of running water rang

out, Arissa froze in shock.

“Benjamin!” she shouted, only to see the man popping out with soapy hands within

seconds.

A glint instantly flashed across Arissa's eyes. Oh, my... Is that what I think it is?

“What's wrong?” Benjamin asked as he stared at her.

A chuckle escaped Arissa's lips. “Are you washing my clothes?”

“You can't be exposed to cold water, so I'm helping you wash your undergarments,” he

answered, albeit with a tinge of awkwardness in his voice.

Arissa went wide-eyed with shock.

Since everything seemed fine, Benjamin ducked back inside the bathroom and picked up

where he had left off.

Arissa lay in bed and listened to the sounds of scrubbing and water flowing. When she

pictured Benjamin washing her undergarments, she couldn't help but flush crimson.

Does he really not mind doing that?

Just like that, Arissa remained in a daze until a knock at the door snapped her back to her

senses.

“Someone's knocking on the door, Benjamin. Hurry up and open it!”

Benjamin hastily did as instructed, only to come face to face with the nurse who had

returned to give Arissa her IV treatment.

“Is Mrs. Graham done with her shower? It's time for her IV drip.”
