Brett touched her gently, and Izabella instantly stiffened, tensing visibly.
She fell directly into the water, choking on it and feeling nausea from the chest pain and stomach ache.
Brett hugged her and said, "Why are you moving around?"
Rubbing her sore eyes, Izabella squeezed out a voice from between her teeth, "Brett, can you not touch me at will?"
Brett's face was much softer than usual. Looking at her puffed up like a hamster, he laughed and said, "So what if I do?"
"Disgusting." The disgust in Izabella's eyes was exposed.
Staring at her red eyes, Brett's voice was indifferent and icy, "You're disgusted by just a touch?"
As the words fell, Izabella watched as Brett's face darkened inch by inch, the overwhelming chill almost swallowing her.
Izabella clenched her fists, ignoring the injury on her hand. The bandage was soaked with water and turned red.
Seeing this, Brett immediately let go of her waist to check her hand. There was blood oozing out.
She didn't know if it was because she was scared by Brett's words just now, Izabella's whole body became very stiff.
Looking at her like this, Brett was at a loss for words. He was angry, but had nowhere to vent.
After the two were silent for a while, Brett took a deep breath, reached out and took off the towel covering her head, "I just wanted to check the wound on your spine."
There was a red patch on her spine, which must have been hit somewhere. The injury was quite serious.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to." Izabella bit her lip and tears started to run down her face.
Brett paused for a moment, "What do you mean? You think I'm eager to give you a bath? You're so dirty!"
Hearing this, Izabella immediately pulled off the towel from her head and pointed angrily at the bathroom door, "Then you get out, please leave immediately!"
It was then that Brett saw the tear stains on Izabella's face. He felt a sudden tug in his heart.
