Olivia hadn't realized the situation she was in yet. She bent over even more, and her chest touched Ethan's forehead.
It was very soft.
Ethan closed his eyes and tried his best to distract himself. Luckily, Olivia was done shaving him after a short while, and he had the opportunity to catch his breath.
Olivia washed her hands and then applied essence oil on her palms to massage his head. She seemed to have gotten better at massaging.
Ethan wasn't drowsy at all in the beginning. But Olivia's massage and the fragrant smell made him fall asleep.
Olivia sighed in relief when she saw that he had fallen asleep.
She stretched as she looked at the calendar. It would take one more week for 90% of the poison in Ethan's system to be cleared out.
He would have to rest up and get better on his own after that.
Olivia was worried that Ethan wouldn't want to leave. She would have to leave if he didn't want to leave.
Olivia read medical books for a while but noticed that Ethan didn't seem like he was about to wake. The sun had set, so she went to wash up and prepare to turn in.
Ethan woke up to the sound of trickling water. He had slept for a long time. The scented candles in the room were burned out. Only a little bit of fragrance lingered in the air.
He felt a slight headache right after he woke up.
After blinking several times, he realized that his eyesight had improved again.
He could see everything in the room clearly except for the tiny print on plastic-wrapped items.
Then, his gaze fell on the folding screen. The room was illuminated by candlelight, which was quite dim. But it managed to outline Olivia's figure on the folding screen.
Olivia had just finished her bath and was getting out of the tub. She put on a bathrobe and walked out slowly.
She didn't notice Ethan's gaze as she picked up a towel and wiped her neck.
Then, she walked to her bed and took off the bathrobe. Although it was just her back, Ethan caught a good look at her body.
He hadn't seen her body for many years.
It made his nose bleed. He scrambled to deal with the bleeding.
Ethan had the urge to slap himself for being so useless.
