Seeing that his focus was no longer on me, I put the half-eaten oatmeal on one side and refused to eat anymore.
After the doctor left, I got ready to go to the washroom.
However, I had been lying down for too long and was a little unsteady on my feet. I fell uncontrollably.
Theo was quick to act and immediately held me.
His countenance sank slightly. "Where are you going?"
I felt a little awkward. "To the washroom."
Theo did not feel awkward at all and picked me up princess-style, then walked toward the bathroom.
He got me to lay in his arms and was about to unzip my pants.
I immediately pressed him down, saying with a blushed face, "I can manage, Theo. Go out."
"What are you embarrassed about?” Theo raised his eyebrows. "Which part of your body have I not seen?"
How could this be the same?
This was a different place, the mood was not right, and the feeling was certainly not the same.
I pushed Theo's chest with both arms and said shyly, "I beg you to please go out."
Theo pursed his lips and grabbed my hands a little domineeringly. "The five days you were asleep, I was the one who changed your urine bag. You're my wife, so it's my duty to take care of you. When we grow old in the future, you’ll surely take care of me too, right?"
Sure enough, couples who had been together for a long time did not have any privacy at all.
No matter what he said, I did not want to agree.
I did not feel anything when I was asleep, but I was extremely awake at the moment and could not break through the mental barrier.
"But I'm awake now, Theo. I really don't like this. Wait outside for me. I’ll call you once I'm done, okay?" I negotiated with Theo nicely.
