Chapter55
It’s just that with him here, I find it inconvenient to do anything.
Seeing that he showed no intention of leaving for a long time, I also didn’t want to bother with him anymore.
I picked up my bag and prepared to go upstairs to take a shower.
This time, he didn’t come over to hug me,
I leaned on the railing and hobbled upstairs.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard the sound of a car engine coming from the yard downstairs.
He still left.
I felt a little bit off, hoping he would leave quickly.
But he really left, and I felt a little lost in my heart.
I leaned absentmindedly against the door panel for a while, then dragged my weary body into the bathroom.
My ankle was still swollen like a steamed bun, and I didn’t know if it would go down by tomorrow.
Thinking about the workload for the whole day tomorrow, I felt a bit scared.
But I had just joined the company, so it wasn’t really appropriate to take leave.
took off my clothes and stood absentmindedly under the shower. thinking about whether I should go to the hospital later.
But it was late at night and I didn’t have a car, so going to the hospital would be such a hassle.
If I had known earlier, I would have had Reynaldo take me to the hospital just now and then let him leave
Feeling frustrated in my heart, I suddenly slipped under my feet.
1 exclaimed and instantly fell backwards.
I fell heavily to the ground, and for a moment, I was in so much paini that I couldn’t even stand up.
This person had a stroke of bad luck, even slipping while taking a shower.
I sat on the ground, wrinkling my face as I rubbed my sore lower back and buttocks, trying to stand up.
I tried several times but it didn’t work..
My swollen ankle couldn’t bear any weight at all, and my painful lower back and hips couldn’t exert any force either.
I helplessly stared at the showerhead above my head, and my heart sank again.
At this moment, there was a sudden knocking sound at the door, “What happened?”
I was startled.
Reynaldo’s voice? He didn’t leave?
Before I could even answer, the door of the bathroom was pushed
open
I panicked and frantically tried to cover my body, screaming, “Don’t come in!”
But… he still came in.
The man stood at the door, his eyes gazing deeply at me.
I turned my face away in embarrassment, feeling like I had lost face for my entire life.
Reynaldo walked over.
I protected my chest, and my face uncontrollably burned up.
He squatted in front of me and smiled lightly at me, saying, “If I don’t come in, do you want to climb out by yourself?”
I lowered my gaze and remained silent.
Thinking about my own miserable appearance, I felt so frustrated that I wanted to cry.
Reynaldo sighed lightly and lifted me up.
He lowered his gaze and looked at my blushing face, and chuckled, “It’s not like I haven’t seen it before, why are you so embarrassed?”
The situation was different.
At this moment, I felt more embarrassed than shy.
He placed me on the armchair and casually threw a bathrobe at me.
I hurriedly put it on, my face still burning intensely.
He stared at me for a few seconds and chuckled. “You feel embarrassed about this? Last time, you came to me to borrow money and even wore a funny pajama.”
I frowned and remained silent.
He chuckled and didn’t say anything else. He just took the medicine from the low table, opened it, and applied it to my ankle.
The medicine was obviously just bought, and the packaging hadn’t even been opened.
I looked at him in surprise.
Originally, he didn’t just leave, but went to buy medicine for me.
He squatted in front of me, placed my foot on his knee, and then took a cotton swab to apply some ointment carefully onto my ankle.
That gentle and focused look made me feel as if I were the person he cared about the most.
He lowered his head and, while wiping, said to me, “This is for reducing swelling and promoting blood circulation. It works very well. Your ankle should be much better tomorrow.”
I stared blankly at his clean hair, and a slight tremor quietly arose in my heart.
Perhaps after not hearing my response for half a day, he couldn’t help but raise his head.
In an instant, our gazes collided.
His eyes instantly darkened.
My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly averted my gaze.
I was thinking about saying something to ease the awkward and ambiguous atmosphere.
