Chapter 70

The room was dead quiet.

After a bit. Lily shot up, her face twisted with anger. "What the hell do you mean by this?"

"Get out!" Arthur repeated, his eyes dark and full of obvious disgust.

Disgusted by what? Well, it was all about Ava.

Thinking about what Lily had just said, Ella grabbed her hand. "Alright,you should head back now."

"But..."

"It's fine. I'm feeling a lot better!" Ella forced a smile.

As Lily walked past Arthur. she shot him a glare. "Take good care of your wife!"

She really stressed the word "wife" to remind Arthur he was a married man.

The door clicked shut.

Arthur's expression softened a bit, and he sat down by the bed and handed her a cup of warm milk. "Drink this."

Ella's stomach was still a bit queasy, and her face showed it.

"I saw you drink that medicine prettyfast!" Arthur brought the bowl to her mouth. "Drink it up!"

His tone was all business.

Ella was taken aback for a moment, then took the cup and drank it.

After the milk, she felt a warm sensation spread through her.

She looked down, her face turning red. "I need to take a shower."

She was on her period and felt sticky and gross.

Arthur nodded. "Ill help you."

He bent down to pick her up, but Ella freaked out and stopped him."What are you doing?"

She crossed her arms over her chest,looking defensive.

Arthur was at a loss for words. "Can you really shower by yourself in your condition?"

With all the blood loss, she was weak and could pass out in the shower.

Ella's face turned even redder, and she stubbornly said, "I can do it myself!11

"Fine,go ahead then."

Arthur sat on the sofa, legs crossed, watching Ella on the bed with a smirk.

Feeling like she was being watched like a hawk, Ella glared at him angrily.

She pulled the blanket off, her face turning red at the sight of the bloodstains, and struggled to get out of bed.

As soon as her feet hit the floor, she wobbled.

With all the blood loss, she didn't even have the strength to stand.

But she refused to give in.

She leaned against the wall, stumbling towards the bathroom.

Arthur watched her weak form, gritting his teeth. "Go ahead, if you faint in there. I won't care!"

"None of your business!"

Hearing Ella's stubborn words. Arthur's chest heaved with anger. He instinctively reached for a cigarette, but then tossed it on the table.

He half-leaned on the sofa, eyes closed, but he listened intently to the sounds coming from the bathroom.

Soon. the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Arthur focused, quietly approaching the door.

Inside, there was only the sound of water, and he sensed something was off. He pushed the door open.

In the bathtub. Ella was sitting with her clothes still on.

Her long eyelashes were dotted with water droplets, her clothes clinging to her body, showing off her curves,especially her full breasts.

Arthur's throat tightened, and he felt himself getting hard.

He glanced at Ella, cursed under his breath, and stepped forward to support her arm. "Still being stubborn? You can't even take off your clothes!"

"I'll take them off after I rest for a bit!"

"Fine, I'll watch you take them off!"

Arthur sat nearby, arms crossed, watching Ella with a lazy smirk.

Under his gaze. Ella felt both embarrassed and angry, slowly unbuttoning her clothes.

As the jacket came off, her smooth skin, full breasts,and slender waist were revealed.

Arthur's eyes burned, his body heating up, and he kept swallowing hard.

Feeling his intense gaze, Ella lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Hurry up, there's nothing on your body I haven't seen before!" Arthur's voice was low and hoarse as he struggled to control his desire.

Ella lookedI up, meeting his deep eyes, and quickly looked away.

Time seemed to drag on.

A few minutes later, Ella looked at the dress clinging to her body,unable to take it off.

"Don't be stubborn!" Arthur bent down, his warm fingers brushing her skin,and tore off the dress.

With Arthur's help, Ella lay naked in the bathtub.

Hot water flowed over her body, and she stretched her limbs, instinctively saying,"You can leave now!"

"Heartless woman!" Arthur suddenly leaned in, grabbed the back of her head,and kissed her. Her heart raced.

Ella pushed against his chest, trying to push him away.

Arthur, dissatisfied,grabbed her hands and held them above her head."Focus!"

His hoarse voice sounded both threatening and warning.

Ella paused, her body softening, her face full of grievance,tears silently falling.

Her lips tasted salty.

Arthur felt her tears, let go of her, and said irritably, "I didn't mean to; I'll help you shower!"

He said, lifting Ella onto his lap.′′Iyour condition, you can't take a bath,only a shower!"

One hand around her waist, the other holding the showerhead.

Warm water flowed over both of them.

Ella,completely naked, sat on his lap, her face red, trying to struggle,but Arthur's strength was too great, and she couldn't break free.

Their bodies pressed tightly together, and seeing the fresh blood flowing over them, she buried her head in his chest in embarrassment. "Do you know what you're doing!"

They were about to get divorced, yet they were getting more intimate.

After a thorough shower,she felt refreshed.

Arthur placed the naked Ella on the bed and changed the prepared clean clothes for her.

Having seen each other naked, there was no embarrassment.

Ella dressed in front of him, and put on a sanitary pad.

After everything was done, she buried herself in the blanket like an ostrich.

Arthur stood by the bed, taking off his wet clothes, revealing a sexy Adam's apple, eight-pack abs, a perfect V-line, slender legs and...

Ella saw his erect penis and turned her face away. "I'm still weak!"

"I'm not a beast!" Arthur, dissatisfied, grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the blanket.

"What are you doing!"

"Dry your hair, or you'll get a headache!"

Ella then noticed he was holding a hairdryer.

He turned it on, warm air blowing on her head.

Arthur's long fingers ran through her hair, gently drying it.

At that moment, they seemed like an ordinary couple, warm and peaceful.

But such happiness was fleeting.

Ella lay in his arms obediently.

Soon, her hair was dry, and she quickly hid back under the blanket.
