It might be inconvenient, but it was better than stripping naked before him.
Kevan suddenly smirked, crossed his arms, leaned against the door frame, and watched her leisurely..
âTake off your top. Iâll just watch.â
He seemed quite certain that she couldnât do it on her own,
Larissaâs face turned red, and she protested, âHow can I undress with you here?â
Kevan promptly turned around.
âThis should be fine, right?â
Larissa also turned around to undress when she was sure he couldnât peek She lowered her head
and used her left hand to unbutton the buttons one by one. Fortunately, the buttons on the hospital gown were large, so the whole process didnât require much effort. She was given a gown that was one size bigger than her usual due to her bandaged right shoulder. She pulled the left collar back, and the entire sleeve slipped off her arm. Then, she grabbed the right cuff and tugged.
on it, taking off the gown completely.
Larissa felt quite proud. âI took it off.â
As she turned her head, she saw that Kevan had turned around at some point and was now staring
at her.
âAh!â Larissa screamed and quickly covered herself with the garments.
âGet out! You per vert!â She grabbed some shampoo bottles from the nearby shelf and threw them
at him.
Kevan caught them firmly and sadness flashed in his dark eyes. âI was just worried that it would be difficult for you to undress and wanted to help if you ran into any difficulties. Youâre so stubborn you wouldnât ask me yourself.â He turned his gaze to the window and continued to tease her, saying, âBesides, I wouldnât need to sneak around if I really wanted to do something to you. Youâre far weaker than me, and wouldnât be able to fight back if I actually forced myself on you since you injured your shoulder.â

Larissaâs doubts gradually dissipated and she wondered if she had misunderstood him.
âIâm sorry,â she apologized. She would gladly take accountability for her faults.
Kevan was quite forgiving. âItâs okay.â
He placed the bottles of shampoo on the sink and confidently walked out, closing the door behind him on the way out.
âCall me if you need anything.â
His voice sounded mu ff led through the door,
Through the door, his voice sounded mu ffled, and Larissa couldnât hear him clearly
âOkay,â she politely responded
Kevan became slightly agitated as he listened to the sound of running water in the bathroom.
He didnât expect her to manage to undress herself. He was looking forward to helping her, unfortunately, it all went down the drain. He threw himself onto the soft leather sofa, stroking his chin as he reminisced about het smooth and unblemished back. Although it wasnât his first time seeing her body, she still stirred his heart. He was able to quilt-trip Larissa into thinking she had misunderstood him Since then, he had to be extremely cautious and not let her discover any
flaws.
Kevan let out a long sigh, suddenly wanting to smoke a cigarette. It was truly agonizing that his desires were out of his reach these days. But he couldnât bring himself to talk to her openly as the memories of his past experiences were still vivid in his mind, and he didnât want to give her another opportunity to reject him. He wondered when Lanssaâs hardened heart would finally warm up to him. If he wanted to succeed sooner, he might have to put in even more effort
