Celeste nodded with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
Gary looked at Celeste seriously for a while, which made her heart skip a beat. She didn't know what he wanted.
"Don't... don't you want to? " When she saw that he was not in a hurry, her cheeks became redder. It made her look even more charming.
She had a temperament that was similar to that of a girl and a woman. She was both enchanting and dazzling.
"I want to," Gary said in a hoarse voice as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down slightly. He stared at Celeste intently. After a while, he continued, "But I know, I can't."
Celeste was stunned.
The next second, Gary kissed her and covered her with a blanket. He then got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
He went to take a cold shower.
Celeste heard the sound of running water and was a little surprised.
However, she suddenly felt warm as she was touched by his actions.
He had endured so much pain. Even though she had given him permission, he had still managed to endure it. He would rather take a cold shower than continue.
How could such a proud person be so delicate and considerate?
Celeste looked at the ceiling. Her eyes were squinted, and the corners of her mouth were curved.
She was happy, but she was also worried that he might catch a cold.
With that, Celeste got up quickly. Although she was not feeling well, she already felt much better after a few hours of rest.
She took a bath towel and stood by the bathroom door. After bracing herself, she knocked on the door.
The sound of running water inside came to an abrupt stop.
Celeste said quickly, "Don't bathe too long with cold water. You might catch a cold. I've brought you a towel."
The door suddenly opened.
Gary stood at the door with a dark look in his eyes. He saw Celeste standing in front of him in a silk nightgown. It showed her charming figure perfectly.
Gary felt like his nose would start to bleed with just one look at her.
The heat that had been taken away by the cold shower came back instantly.
His bath had been in vain.
He lowered his head to look at himself as his eyes darkened.
Celeste saw the change in him and her eyes widened. She was so scared that she turned away and spoke quickly.
"Here, you should wrap yourself in a towel first."
Gary's handsome face tensed up. He stretched out his hand to take the towel and wrapped it around himself quickly.
Only then did Celeste turn back as she took out a towel to wipe the water on his body.
"It's not good for your health if you take cold showers. I'll go downstairs and boil some water for you. You should drink some warm water," She offered softly.
"It's fine," Gary said, "Give me the towel."
"You can't reach it," Celeste turned around and helped him wipe his back. "Let me help you."
She was truly grateful from the bottom of her heart for Gary's care towards her. She was touched.
Such a feeling made her want to give him more love and care. She wanted to do more things for him.
However, Gary's whole body became tenser.
"Give it to me," His tone was a little rough.
Celeste was stunned.
Gary also froze after saying that. He took a deep breath and explained, "If you continue to help me, then my cold shower will be in vain."
Celeste trembled slightly. Soon, Gary had turned around.
They looked into each other's eyes.
Celeste found that his gaze was filled with forbearance.
She was so scared that she handed the towel to him quickly and said, "There you go. You can do it. Don't get angry."
"I'm not angry," Even though Gary said so, his thin lips were still pressed together in a straight line.
He took the towel and gave himself a quick wipe to dry himself off. Then, he reached out to pick Celeste up and placed her back on the bed. Then, her covered her with the quilt.
