Chapter 893

Stella hugged onto her knees and curled up into a ball, “l-lt’s just an aphrodisiac. I’ll take a cold bath and wait for the drug to wear off. I’ll be fine.”

She was so stubborn that Keegan had no choice but to go to the bathroom and fill the tub. He pursed his lips when he thought of the person on the bed being tortured by the drug.

When the water was ready, Keegan came out of the bathroom and called for Stella.

But, she was lying on the bed and out of strength. She sat up limply when she heard the man calling her. Keegan looked at her for a few seconds, bent down to pick her up, and carried her to the bathroom.

As her body was soaked under water, she suddenly frowned and asked,” Why does it feel warm?”

“The cold tap is broken, so there’s only the hot option. It’s okay. The water will cool down after a while.”

“How long will that take?” Stella asked, feeling uncomfortable in the warm water.

Keegan took a mug and sat down by the bathtub. “I’ll move the water around to make it cool down a little faster.”

Stella’s mind was working slower than usual at that moment. Otherwise, she would have found Keegan’s idea to be ridiculous. ‘ How is that teeny tiny mug going to help in such a large tub of water?” she would say. Not only did she not find it unreasonable, but she also found Keegan to be much more considerate than before.

Stella had a soak in the tub with her clothes on while Keegan sat on the edge of the tub, swishing the water with the mug. Steam began to rise in the bathroom, and Keegan’s shirt was wet in no time. Stella was enjoying the view as his clothes stuck onto his body. She could see his muscles clearly, and they looked nice and tight.

Stella’s libido did not drop. Instead, it kept increasing overtime. She averted her gaze and recited the bible in her heart, ‘For all that is in the world-the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life —is not from the Father but is from the world.’

Stella opened her eyes abruptly and looked at Keegan. His clothes were already soaked, and his hair was half-wet. At some point, he pushed it back. Seeing that she was staring at him intently, Keegan asked in a low voice, ’Are you feeling better now?”

Stella watched his Adam’s apple slide up and down as he spoke, and her mouth went dry. She tilted her head upward but could not help looking at Keegan.

“Hey, Keegan, l-ls it hot in here, or is it just me?’

“Yeah. I do feel kinda warm right now.” The tub was filled with hot water in the summer. There was no way that they were not going to feel the heat.

“Take off your clothes, then.”

Keegan paused and lowered his gaze. “That wouldn’t be appropriate.”

Stella’s sanity was no longer with her. “It’s not like I’ve never seen you without your shirt. Why don’t you take it off to cool down?”
