Gary raised his eyebrows as he looked at her in confusion as her whole face was blushing. He then called out in a low and hoarse voice, "Celeste?"
How was he supposed to carry her if she kept on stopping him from doing so?
Celeste was both annoyed and embarrassed, and she felt really shy.
She felt that it wasn't appropriate for him to hold her while she was nude.
She became even more anxious that her face turned red. That only made Gary even more attracted to her.
"Stop dawdling around. You've been wasting more than 20 minutes."
As Gary said that, he took Celeste's hand and held it with his other hand. Then, he reached below her arms and lifted her up almost effortlessly. With one swift move, he managed to place her gently into the bathtub.
The warm water made Celeste feel much more comfortable in an instant.
She wanted to sit up, but it hurt so much that she couldn't bear it.
"Ouch!"
She gasped hard and frowned, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed at herself.
Celeste felt that she was really useless. She actually couldn't even bathe on her own and needed him to help her. How embarrassing was this?
She was both ashamed and mad about the thought that she was so frail.
"You don't have to force yourself," Gary assured her, "Come, hold on to me."
He had already stretched out his strong arms, indicating Celeste to grab onto him.
Celeste saw that he had already changed his clothes, yet she was still in such a awkward state. This made her even more flustered.
With just a moment of hesitation, Gary had already wrapped his hands around her and helped her sit up. His actions were extremely gentle as he was afraid that he would hurt Celeste.
She felt so much comfortable as her whole body was immersed in the warmth of the water.
However, Gary's newly changed clothes became wet again.
"Your clothes got wet," Celeste said apologetically.
"Just let it be," Gary looked at her with a funny look on his face. He squatted in front of the bathtub and looked at her with his deep gaze, "Celeste, you can't bathe yourself. Let me help you."
Celeste was dumbstruck for a bit before she started blushing again.
She felt awkward and lowered her head out of shame.
"You're mine now. Why are you still so embarrassed with me helping you bathe?" Gary said as he started bathing her.
Celeste really didn't want to move at all, because it was extremely painful every single time she tried to move. It was so unfair. Why did men seem unaffected by the pain and so energetic? On the other hand, she was in so much pain that she could not even take a bath on her own.
Celeste's head was hung in dejection. Although she was upset, she still nodded, "Sorry to trouble you."
"What are you talking about?" Gary sighed helplessly, "It's my honour to help you bathe."
It was really a great opportunity for him to be able to take advantage of her in such a way.
With that, Celeste didn't speak anymore.
Gary scooped some warm water for her. Since she had taken a shower before, he didn't need to scrub her back. He just had to give her a rough rinse and allow the warmth of the water to soothe her pain.
"I can't stay in the bath for too long," Celeste sighed, "I read that girls shouldn't stay in the tub for too long after doing it. I'm afraid."
"I know," Gary could probably guess what she was worried about, "You're afraid of getting an infection. I'll help sanitize after you're done bathing. Don't worry, this water is clean. Taking a bath will make you feel much more comfortable, and it will relieve your exhaustion."
Celeste breathed a sigh of relief. She was fine as long as she would not get infected. However, it was true that she felt more comfortable after taking a bath.
Celeste didn't say anything else.
When Gary helped her wash her private parts, she instantly grew nervous. She was so scared that she didn't dare to move an inch.
Gary stiffened a bit. He then looked at her and noticed that she was being tense. He narrowed his eyes.
Celeste's face was as red as a tomato.
