Crystal's POV:
The out-of-control three forces my body had experienced had left lasting damage to it. I had never expected that I would lose movement in my legs one day.
I wanted to walk, but my legs couldn't take the strain.
One round of therapy later, I felt like I had done a ten-kilometer run with a heavy load. I hadn't even felt this exhausted when I'd trained under Leonard.
Now I was almost ready to drop with fatigue because of my therapy.
I was sweating profusely. Rufus carried me to the sofa.
"Drink some warm water first." Rufus took a tray, which was laden with several energy-replenishing snacks and water, from the servant.
Collapsing against the back of the sofa, I narrowed my eyes and nodded. In reality, I didn't even have the strength to move my fingers, let alone drink water.
Rufus seemed to understand my state and lifted the glass to my mouth.
I lowered my head and sipped the warm water.
After I finished drinking, he produced a tube of ointment from somewhere, telling me that it would relax my muscles and help them recover.
"Just put it on the table. I'll apply it later." I shifted a little and settled down into a more comfortable position, intending to take a nap and rest a little.
However, Rufus didn't let me rest. Instead, he lifted me and seated me on his lap like a child. "I'll give
you a massage. You don't need to do it yourself."
I instantly tugged the hem of my trousers down. "No, no, no. I can do it myself."
"No, I don't trust you. Let me do it." Rufus didn't allow me to refuse and gently pushed my hands away.
There was nothing I could do to stop him, so I had to submit to him. I mumbled, "Why can't you trust me?"
Rufus didn't respond. Instead, he applied the ointment to my calves and massaged them with moderate pressure.
It was so relaxing that my eyes began to get heavy.
After a while, he stopped. I thought he was done.
However, he made me lie flat on the sofa and took my pants off before I could react, leaving me in just my underwear.
