Chapter 175 - Working Together (1/2)

”Are you awake?” He asked with a smile.

Anya turned to hear the sound. When she saw Aiden, her cheeks immediately flushed remembering what they had done earlier. She immediately pulled the blanket over her entire body, not daring to look at Aiden.

Aiden chuckled seeing Anya. This was not their first time, but for Anya, it was her first experience of being conscious. That's why she felt embarrassed.

Aiden sat on the edge of the bed, ”Anya...” He called softly.

”I-… I want to wear my clothes. Can you come out first?” Anya stuttered as she said this, not daring to remove the blanket in the slightest.

Aiden lifted the edge of the blanket and put his hand inside. He found Anya's leg and pulled her out of the blanket.

Anya still tried to cover her face even though her entire body, without any bandage, was visible. Her hand gripped the edge of the blanket tightly.

”Anya. You cover your face with a blanket so you can't see me. But I can see your whole body.” Aiden said while looking at Anya.

”Aiden! You...You pervert!” Anya immediately got up from bed while still holding the blanket. She was so embarrassed!

However, it seemed that she was still so exhausted that her legs couldn't hold her back.

Aiden immediately caught Anya's body, wrapped her in a blanket and picked her up, ”Tired? I've prepared warm water for you.” Aiden took her into the bathroom.

Anya let Aiden carry her to the bathroom because she was so exhausted that her own legs felt like jelly.

The bathtub in the bathroom was filled with warm water. Steam was still rising, making the room look hazy. Anya still felt embarrassed to look at Aiden so she hid her face on Aiden's shoulder.

Aiden kissed the side of Anya's face gently, ”Are you still embarrassed?”

In response, Anya simply buried her head in Aiden's shoulders even deeper. Aiden chuckled at the sight. He lowered Anya's body and slowly placed her in the bathtub filled with warm water.

Upon touching the warm water, Anya breathed a sigh of relief. The warm water made her limp body feel alive again. Aiden took a small chair and sat beside the bathtub. His hand held Anya's face, turning Anya's gaze to his.

”Anya, I can see you now.” Aiden's eyes looked at Anya with love.

Anya stared wide and looked at Aiden happily, ”Is it true? Are your eyes okay?” Anya asked.

”Hmm ... When we unite, suddenly I can see light from my eyes.” Aiden kissed Anya on the cheek as he said, ”Anya, you are my healer.”

Anya immediately shifted her gaze shyly and slightly pushed Aiden's chest with her hand, ”You must be lying to me!”

”I don't lie. The doctor who told me that if I am in a good mood or I am happy, my recovery can be faster. I'm really excited today.” Aiden said seriously.

”Have you really recovered?” Anya asked excitedly.

”I don't know. If I wake up tomorrow and I can't see anymore, you can heal me again.” Aiden said with a mischievous smile. He looked closely at Anya, did not take his eyes off his wife at all, ”I already said you are my healer. As long as we ... ”

”I don't want to.” Anya hugged him nervously and interrupted Aiden's words.

She didn't want to do it again. Aiden was truly like a beast. Even though she didn't feel as much pain as the first time they did it, she felt her energy was drained. She couldn't match Aiden's stamina and ended up falling asleep from exhaustion. After waking up, her whole body felt limp.

She wouldn't be able to keep up with him if Aiden asked her for it every day!

”You don't want to help with my recovery?” Aiden asked, raising his eyebrows.
