Chapter 2

Sally was confused. “Would you be able to wash if I leave?”

He was blind, would he be able to see anything?

The man did not say anything.

Yet, the air temperature between them fell a few degrees lower.

It seemed like she had finally noticed his anger. Thus, Sally timidly picked up the bath towel and left. “Be careful! Call me if you need anything!”

Sally could not stop fidgeting after leaving the bathroom. Her eyes kept darting back in the direction of the bathroom.

The bathroom was a slippery place. What if he slipped and fell?

What if he was unlucky enough to die from that fall?

She just got married. She did not want to become a widow that quickly.

As she was feeling uneasy and anxious, her phone rang.

It was her bestie, Evonne Turner, who had sent her a video.

The video came with a tag that said ‘Learning Materials!’

Learning Materials?

Sally opened the message while grumbling internally about how it was still way too early for their finals. Why in the world would Evonne send her learning materials at this time?

She played the video, only to see a woman in disheveled clothing...

!!!

Sally’s face exploded into a burning red as she fumbled to turn off the video.

It was at this precise moment that her knock-off phone decided to lag out on her.

As she struggled to turn off her unresponsive phone, the bathroom door opened.

“Mmm…”

The second Elijah exited the bathroom, his ears were surrounded by mortifying sounds.

The expression on the man’s face darkened. “What are you doing?”

In her anxiety, Sally was already sweating buckets. The sudden question from Elijah nearly made her drop her phone onto the floor.

She was indescribably anxious, and just chucked her phone into the folds of the quilt.

“You…”

Elijah stared at her with a scowl.

“I’m… I’m watching a video on scrubbing!”

Sally clumsily sat herself down on the quilt, praying that it would be enough to suppress the woman’s voice from the phone.

Elijah’s exquisite facial features seemed slightly distorted. “...A video on scrubbing?”

“That’s right.”

Sally pressed hard on the quilt and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. “A man is scrubbing down a woman in the bath forcefully.”

“...” Elijah remained silent.

Perhaps she did not just think of him as a blind man, but an idiot too?

The room sank into a deafening silence.

The woman’s voice from the video came from beneath the quilt weakly. Meanwhile, Sally’s body that was merely clothed in underwear was pressed on the quilt in a hilariously strange position.

The warm yellow light from the stained glass lamp illuminated her dainty, slim waist, and her fair slender legs. The scene possessed a sense of sultry ambiguity that could trigger a palpitating heart.

Elijah’s breathing turned heavier as his gaze darkened.

Beads of sweat lined Sally’s forehead.

Today, she learned how tiring it was to press on a soft and fluffy quilt!

Thankfully, the video ended not long after.

She wiped the sweat off her head and fished out the burning phone from underneath the quilt.

The man sat on the edge of the bed and gave her a look that hinted subtly at a smile. “The two of them are done scrubbing each other?”

Sally smiled awkwardly. “Yes, I’m done watching the video…

“As expected, we shouldn’t use too much strength during a scrub.”

“...” Elijah was speechless.

Noticing a lack of response from him, Sally deleted the video guiltily and sent an angry message to Evonne: ‘You nearly got me killed!’

A second later, Evonne: ‘You’re biting the hand that feeds you!’

‘Didn’t you say that your newly-wedded husband is disabled?’

‘This adorable fairy went all out to find you a video! Have you learned them yet?’

Sally’s face burned bright red. Sally: ‘Die already!’
