Yvonne walked towards the bed while fanning herself with her hand.
As Sue said, the man on the bed had completely fallen asleep. His mouth wasn't mumbling, but his frowned eyebrows showed that he was sleeping very uncomfortably.
"Madam, this tea is to keep sir sober. Would you like to wake him up and feed him?" Sue said from behind.
Yvonne looked back. Sue came in with a cup of tea.
"No, let him sleep like this. I won’t be able to leave if he's awake."
Sue put the hangover tea on the bedside and looked at her in surprise. "What? You’re leaving later?"
Yvonne nodded.
"But it’s already midnight..."
"Alright, Sue. You should get out first while I’ll get him changed. He stinks a lot," Yvonne interrupted Sue, not wanting to hear what she was about to say.
Sue sighed helplessly. She nodded and left the room.
The door closed again, and the room became quiet with only two shallow breaths that could be heard.
Yvonne looked at Henry who was on the bed, then bent over to touch his forehead. When she realized that it wasn't hot, she felt relieved and went to the bathroom to fetch water.
After getting some hot water, Yvonne rolled up her sleeves and sat by the bed, then stretched out her hand to take off Henry's clothes.
His clothes had crumpled and there was some vomit stuck on them. Not to mention that the smell was extremely unpleasant. Yvonne couldn’t help but frown.
Yvonne had never seen Henry in such a mess. She didn’t know why on earth he would drink so much until he threw up. This had never happened before.
Yvonne sighed secretly, then she threw Henry’s clothes on the floor. After that, she dampened the towel and cleaned him up.
When cleaning, Yvonne didn't know which part of his body that she touched and made him uncomfortable. He began to become extremely uncooperative.
Obviously, he was not awake but could pat her hand away accurately, restraining her from cleaning him.
In the beginning, she was able to stop him. But later, h e was getting stronger and she couldn't hold him anymore.
With no choice, Yvonne had to throw the towel into the water. She stood up dissatisfied and then looked a t the man whining uncomfortably. "What do you want? I'm trying to clean you up. Can you be more cooperative?"
On the contrary, the man in bed did not respond but moved his body a little.
Seeing this situation, Yvonne was amused that she was trying to reason with a drunkard.
She was really pissed off by him. How could a drunkard hear what she said?
Helplessly, Yvonne rubbed her sore temples. Resigned to her fate, she took the towel again to continue cleaning him.
But this time, the man suddenly opened his eyes when she touched his body. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her strongly to the bed.
"Ah!" Yvonne exclaimed in surprise. She never expected this would happen.
She quickly looked up at the man above her. His bloodshot eyes were staring at her, looking very frightening.
"Are you awake?" Yvonne asked.
The man didn't answer. He just looked at her.
Yvonne felt that something was wrong. She frowned and looked at the man carefully.
In the end, she discovered that he wasn't completely awake at all. Although his eyes were open to look at her, his pupils were dilated and out of focus. In other words, he was awake, but not conscious. He was still drunk.
So he simply couldn't understand a thing when she talked to him.
