Rachel still didn't believe Matthew.
He felt even more tempted by her delicate appearance. "You need to trust me. Since we met, have I ever lied to you? I'm the doctor, and you're the patient. You have to listen to me and cooperate with me!"
Rachal was infuriated. Her breathing became rapid, and her chest was heaving.
Matthew not only wanted to sleep with her but also demanded her cooperation? It was too much!
"Matthew, don't push your luck. I know you've helped me, but you can't make such demands. If you keep going on, I'll seriously get angry!"
Matthew sighed. He realized it was hopeless.
Looking at her enticing figure, he could only suppress his desires.
"Your condition isn't severe. If you don't want to treat it now, we can do it later. Let's just sleep. You sleep on the left, and I'll sleep on the right."
With that, Matthew got into bed. Rachel frowned at him. She was contemplating whether to make him sleep on the floor, but then decided to compromise.
She cautiously got into bed. No matter how she tossed and turned, she couldn't sleep.
She curled up. Her nerves were tense. She feared that Matthew might try something.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She couldn't fall asleep at all with a man lying beside her.
Both Rachel's and Matthew's hearts were beating anxiously. The two of them were carefully guarding against each other. They eventually drifted off to sleep in exhaustion.
…
The next morning, Matthew opened his eyes to find himself alone in bed.
Feeling the warm spot where Rachel had been lying, he muttered, "What a pity. Nothing happened. The whole night was wasted."
He got out of bed and quickly freshened up. There was a lot to do today.
After breakfast, he went out with Rachel to buy clothes, get their hair done, and help prepare for the party. They also went to deliver the invitations to their friends and family. The day passed swiftly.
