“No, no, you’ve got it all wrong!” Rebecca waved her hand. “It’s just that I’ve never seen someone so obsessed with cleanliness before. That day outside the ward, I wanted to help him, but he insisted on walking on his own even if it meant enduring the pain.”
Rosalind knew this was something Ulric would do.
“That’s just how he is. So stubborn,” Rosalind said.
“Only you would dare say such things to Mr. Walters,” Rebecca chuckled.
Rosalind pursed her lips, not saying anything. She didn’t feel privileged in any way.
What was there to boast about in front of a woman better than her?
…
Back in the ward, Rosalind checked her phone again, but there was still no reply from Tilda.
It seemed that she pulled an all-nighter…
Rosalind felt guilty, thinking that Tilda was worried about her and feeling as if her own problems were affecting others’ lives.
“What did the doctor say?”
Ulric took the opportunity while Rosalind was away to open his computer and work.
Otherwise, she would nag him to lie down and rest if she saw him work.
“Don’t rush to take a shower. I’ll wipe you down later.”
Ulric looked at her, pursing his lips without saying a word.
“What? Don’t want me to?” Rosalind stopped and raised an eyebrow. “Or should I find another beautiful woman to do it for you?”
Ulric’s handsome face darkened.
“I don’t like that kind of joke.”
“I was just kidding. I know you won’t.” Rosalind turned around to get him a towel and noticed that Ulric seemed genuinely reluctant to let her wipe him down. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m uncomfortable.”
As soon as Rosalind heard those three words, she reacted like a startled bird. “Where does it hurt?”
Ulric looked at her helplessly, his dark eyes fixed on her. “You wiping my body feels like torture.”
He thought that the best way was for him to be “well-fed” before she wiped him down so that it would alleviate some of the pain. But by then, Rosalind would probably not be able to lift her arm due to fatigue.
It only took Rosalind a few seconds to understand what he meant.
He had been horny these past few days! It was as if he wanted to make up for the missing four years at any cost!
Even if she had just woken up, she still felt exhausted, physically and psychologically!
“What should we do then? Should I find a male nurse for you?”
“No.” That would be very weird!
Rarely did Rosalind see a conflicted expression on Ulric’s handsome face, and she couldn’t help but smile. “Or maybe Johnny can help you? He’s your good buddy. He shouldn’t mind.”
“Forget it.”
“Why?”
Ulric looked at her, his lips curling up. “He will be jealous of me being better than him.”
Rosalind glared at him fiercely!
It seemed that all men had absolute confidence in this aspect!
“By the way, you don’t need to find a tour guide for Tilda to explore Sweden. She said she plans to leave here after waking up today.”
“Why did she suddenly change her mind?”
“I don’t know.” Rosalind shook her head. “Maybe Malcolm urged her.”
Ulric’s handsome face froze, turning dark at the mention of Malcolm’s name.
“When did you start calling him that?” He remembered that Rosalind used to address Malcolm as Mr. Hines!
“I can’t remember.” She really couldn’t remember.
However, Ulric insisted on asking further, “Did you start calling him that during those four years?”
“Seems like it, because he helped me a lot.”
